Michelle Obama has directed her sights to something that she feels will greatly benefit the American people, especially the children: bringing the 2016 Olympics to Chicago.
The First Lady to President Barack Obama, former Illinois Senator, is currently in Copenhagen campaigning to all who will listen, namely the International Olympic Committee (IOC). She has planned an extensive tour over the next few days sharing why she feels Chicago is the best possible choice for the Summer Games.
Obama says, "the Olympics have the power to transform the lives of children in Chicago and around the country, inspiring them to be the next David Robinson, Nadia Comaneci."
She believes that hosting the games would leave behind more than just memories, but facilities for children and the inspiration to show kids from all backgrounds that they can be so much more.
Chicago has tough competition from other cities who are currently bidding for the slot, among them Madrid, Tokyo and Rio de Janeiro.
