Re: Bush: Exactly! So obnoxious. He's clearly trying to have his cake and eat it too--"well, should probably say something about China's human rights issues, but YAY SPORTS!" Instead of making everyone happy, he looks like an idiot.
Granted, it is a complicated situation. The Olympics is a wonderful celebration of athletics, and I think it's important to recognize the hard work athletes put in and the spirit of worldwide, peaceful competition. How to do that without seeming to support China's policies?
