EarnForexChicago Tribune reporter ISTANBUL - It didn't take long for Barack Obama to start playing a significant role in promoting Chicago's bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics.
About 15 minutes into Friday's presentation of Chicago's bid plans to the general assembly of the European Olympic Committees, the president elect gave a 90-second videotaped address to an audience that included some two dozen IOC members.
That Obama found the time to tape the address in the midst of his hectic schedule after the election clearly showed his willingness to push Chicago's candidacy in a four-city race including Rio de Janeiro, Tokyo and Madrid. It was the first time Obama has shown that support in a formal presentation to the IOC.What is Forex Foreign ExchangeForeignExchange (FOREX) Forex trading information site

Daley, who arrived Friday morning in Istanbul, introduced the Obama video, which showed the President-elect sitting at a desk with the American flag at the side."In the coming years, my administration will bring a fresh perspective on America's role and responsibilities around the world," Obama said.
