No Obama regrets
October 3, 2009
President Obama had a message Friday for the many people -- including himself -- who put "heart and soul" into Chicago's losing bid: "A" for effort.
"You can play a great game and still not win," Obama said. "Although I wish that we had come back with better news from Copenhagen, I could not be prouder."
Obama expressed no regret at putting so much on the line for the failed effort.
"I have no doubt that it was the strongest bid possible, and I'm proud that I was able to come in and help make that case in person," he said.
