Giannoulias: Obama's trip was worthwhile

Despite Chicago's early exit from the Olympics sweepstakes, Democratic Illinois Senate frontrunner Alexi Giannoulias said President Obama's trip was still worth it:

"While I am disappointed in the result, I am proud of our president for going to Copenhagen to fight for Chicago and fight for the jobs the Olympics would have created. I am glad the President did not listen to the Republicans and run up the white flag in competing for the Olympics."
