Michelle Obama flew to Denmark on Wednesday to pitch Chicago as the host city for the 2016 Olympics.

Chicago was knocked out in the first round of votes, but that’s beside the point.
Two people. Two planes. Three days. Not very green.
Just last week President Obama told the United Nations General Assembly: “That so many of us are here today is a recognition that the threat from climate change is serious, it is urgent, and it is growing. The security and stability of each nation and all peoples – our prosperity, our health, our safety – are in jeopardy. And the time we have to reverse this tide is running out.”
