Now compare that to Obama who hates America...
George Bush's shadow would make a better President than Obama.
I am boycotting also. I want to watch a few of the Track and Field events over week from now - but that’s all.
I’ll follow the “events” and the winners on the web only.
Free China!
Thank you so much for posting this. We were watching the ceremonies in an ice cold sports bar and finally decided to head home and of course missed the entrance of the US. Our main question was whether our president would stand up and of course he and Laura did. Hurray!!!!!
Thanks for posting the pictures. I just watched the ceremony and it was astonishing. China has been and will be agressively on the move, in spite of all the talk about peace and friendship.
“Just In TV “ is what I used for live coverage of the Opening Ceremonies. The Internet is awesome!
I thought the French president was "thinking about" boycotting the opening ceremony of the Olympics. Guess he made up his mind.
Ping.
"Ooh, women's beach volleyball".
And so it is.
A couple of monthes ago, Sarkozy was loudly beating his chest and shaking his finger at the Chicoms, "threatening" to boycott the opening games if they didn't clean up their act and cease their human rights abuses. Of course the Chicoms did absolutely nothing, but Sarkozy, being typically French, appears to have tucked his tail between his legs and surrendered to the "world community". Wouldn't want to offend his buddies the red Chinese! What a guy! For future reference, we now know just how tough Sarkozy is when he "threatens" dictators. Can't even sit out a sports ceremony. I'm sure Iran is really scared of this guy. Perhaps Sarkozy is too busy trying to suck up his preferred candidate in the 2008 U.S. Presidential elction, Barack Obama. You won't see him fawn over McCain like this, that's for sure. Sarko looks happy as a school girl!
================================================
Ironically, the female chancellor of Germany seems to have more balls than Sarkozy or President Bush. She also "threatened" to boycott the opening ceremony of the Olympics if the Chicoms didn't cease and deist their human rights abuses -- and then ACTUALLY FOLLOWED THROUGH AND DID IT. Angela Merkel's seat was empty at the opening of the 2008 olympics ceremony.
A "world leader" who actually has the spine to do what they say. Imagine that.
Great photos. Do I know you?
So much for the “advancement of technology” for their sophisticated security.
