After watching the Olympics I am proud of the U.S. teams and the wonderful ambassadors of hope, integrity and love of Country that they displayed in Beijing.Couldn't agree more! This was the best US Olympic Team ever fielded, both on and off the court.

God Bless her, TOO! I am sure she came to the USA legally, and does not just simply repatriate dollars back to Georgia without an ounce of loyalty to the USA. This is the kind of immigrants I want on our soil!

What a great gal!
I’m proud that we have such a great Olympic team.
They represented us very well, to the very end.
Thank you for the ping.
