Don't know if you all noticed, but during the time the Olympic president and that other dude were speaking on the field floor, the camera made it's way to where some of the athletics were sitting. I noticed that something caught their eyes, as some were standing and pointing at something below them. At first I thought prehaps the torch was making it's way inside the stadium, BUT to everyones surprise it was OUR President making his way to the section OUR athletics were sitting. They must have gone bunkers.
Even Bob Costas got excited when the President took the cell phone. He said, "How great is that!" Katie almost choked and tried immediately to change the subject. It was soooo obvious.
BTW, I was trying to figure out who the moron was who was co-hosting with Costas. They stumbled all over each other, and their timing was horrible. I kept thinking, what lame-brain put this amateur next to Costas to do color? I then heard Costas mention Katie's name. I winced. This was the worst broadcast I had ever heard. Costas is good, but Katie was completely out of her element.
The production was lame, hokie, expensive and long. I think Costas was subliminally trying to insinuate that fact, but Katie was trying to extoll it's "artistic" value. These two commentators don't mix well. The Bush moments were great. Other than that, this whole show was disappointing.
