Earlier, the White House said First Lady MIchelle Obama would be making the pitch to the International Olympic Committee for the Obamas' hometown of Chicago to get the 2016 games, and that the president would have liked to have gone but the health care debate required his presence at home.
The White House this morning says President Obama will be going to Copenhagen after all, for a matter of hours, to be part of the pitch presentation Oct. 2. Michelle Obama remains the leader of the U.S. delegation, will be in Denmark longer, and will still make her own pitch for the games.
