President Barack Obama has announced he is “strongly supportive” of the 2024 Olympics being held in Los Angeles, City News Service reports. However, his support of his hometown of Chicago failed to help that city win the 2016 Olympics. Mayor Eric Garcetti, along with a delegation, visited Switzerland this week to officially present the bid to the International Olympics Committee, which will choose the site in 2017.
