President Bush is so emphatic about going to the Olympics in China that one might think flying halfway around the globe to attend the games is what presidents do.

"But never before has an American leader shown up at an Olympics on foreign soil. And Bush is doing more than just dropping by. He is planning to soak in as much as he can, with large blocs on his Beijing schedule devoted to watching athletes compete. . . .

"Bush plans to attend the men's basketball showdown between the United States and China. He will pick other events as he goes along.

"'I'm pretty relaxed about it,' Bush said in an interview with Asian reporters. 'Not every single minute of every day has to be totally organized. And so I'll be with a lot of my family, and they're fun to hang around with. I'm sure we'll walk around the different venue sites and just get a sense for the while atmosphere of people from all around the world.'

  1. Yea I don't see why he wouldn't take pictures with the athletes.  


  2. He and Laura (First Lady) can snipe about China's poor human rights record and inaction to improve life-death conditions in Darfur, Sudan and Myanmar (Burma) but they are "celebrities" (Britney & Paris) - - Olympic athlete with a conscience JOEY CHEEK however was denied an entry visa to speak about Chinese government collusion with the killing at Darfur. . .State Department was unable to push such a permit to enter through with diplomatic pressure
