Mayor Mauricio Macri held the slender aluminum torch aloft, then passed it to three-time Olympic windsurfing medalist Carlos Espinola, who jogged into Buenos Aires streets flanked by Chinese bodyguards. Heavyset police from Argentina's navy huffed to keep up.

How precisely did China get the Olympics in the first place? Why if China is communist do we do the business and other things we do with them but not with Cuba?
It amazes me that so many people have so much money and so much free time that they can follow the torch around just to protest. The Olympics just ain’t what they used to be.

Shao Long Chen, a 19-year-old Chinese immigrant. "It's a great source of pride for us that the Olympics are being held in Beijing and that the torch is passing through Buenos Aires." "I may have moved to Argentina to make a few bucks, but my heart is in Beijing"
Sounds familiar.
