Ok, I clicked over to the opening ceremony (I am ashamed - could not stay away)....

Impressions:
The drummers were amazing and, um, a bit intimidating with the red marks on the center of their foreheads...was that intentional?

The rest of the entire special effects with the precise coordination spoke very highly of Chinese precision.

The fireworks were amazing.

Why did the “history” portion of the presentation not include anything about the millions killed by Mao and in the Cultural revolution and in their slave labor camps?

Now - the atheletes are walking in. Cannot tolerate Bob Costas.

Thanks for this commentary. Hope to chck back in on this thread from time to time.

FREE CHINA!

Have they ever made the nations wave the host nations flag as well as their own. Why are they waving the Chinese flag. Obama-sized ego there.
