I wish our president was not attending. It lends credibility and prestige to another repressive regime’s attempt at Berlin ‘36.

Yea, great idea. Politicize the games. Isn't FR enough for you to get your political fix without having to ruin the chance of a lifetime for our athletes.

Are you really agreeing with Jimmy Carter. That was such a bonehead move then that devastated many dreams without accomplishing anything.

The best way to win over hearts and minds for freedom is to expose the Chinese to it. When Bush is in the viewing stands, our athletes can show the Chinese how much we love our system of government.

They can wave proudly to our president - not as a political figure but as the representative of the greatest nation on earth that is not afraid to participate in the Olympics.

With your resolve of American Spirit we would still be under the rule of the British and have the cut-and-run reputation of the French.

Stand proud. Do not be afraid.
