President Obama will travel to Copenhagen this week to "seal the deal" for Chicago's 2016 bid for the Olympic games, the White House confirmed this morning.
A White House official tells ABC News that “it’s gonna take everything we got” to win.
The official added that the president feels the health care issue is in a place that his absence for a day is not going to have a negative impact. And so he’s taking the red eye on Thursday, arriving Friday morning “to seal the deal.”
The White House had previously announced that Michelle Obama, along with a delegation of White House officials with Chicago ties, would travel to Copenhagen to represent the administration and Chicago.
Mr. Obama will now join the first lady there, and is slated to speak to the IOC on Friday. He will return to Washington Friday night, the same day that final votes are cast.
