CNN

By President Bush going to China, it means he doesn't care granting legitamacy to China's Government which has been documented giving weapons to the people perpetuating the GENOCIDE in darfur. You know the genocide that's been going on the last few years that even President Bush himself called a genocide? Not to mention Tibet, and their humans rights violations against their own people. But I can't say I came blame lame-duck Bush for going, it takes one to know one. He has presided over countless human rights violoations such as Guantamano Bay tortures, and the war in Iraq to name a few. Human suffering doesn't seem to factor in either China's or our own country's decisions.
I'm also surprised there aren't more comments on this, but it is in a very small and hidden place on the ticker.
I am also sure CNN won't publish this, I have to dumb down my comments lest you dare allow intellegent discourse on your prized ticker.

Bush can take Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, John McCain and a few unnamed others with him and never return. But I don't want bad relations with China making them think we just want to dump our garbage in their country they might call all their duckies in which we can't pay.

Will John McBush and the other two stooges (Liberman,Graham) be going with the president? Barack Hussein Obama 08

Connie"Hussein"Sturgeon

Show your might in polls not in blogs. Get the oil men out in fall, never let them ruin our country again

this is after all the "leader" all of you McCain supporters voted for. And really how can Bush refuse? China does own America...the land of the free.
oh one thing W, don't go over there and say anything about human rights...not with our violations...Iraq, US economy, unemployment you get it

More easing of World tensions by Bush. It's clear he is pulling the rug out under McCain's major campaign hope. ...on the road to detente with North Korea, talks expected with Iran after European talks work out the nuclear issue, peace in Iraq, cell phones in Cuba.
If he liked McCain, he would be manufacturing some crisis and terror for his buddy.
(((To put things in persective,,, imagine you had ONLY two choices for president, – Bush? or McCain? who would you choose?...
things that mame you go hmmmm.... somebody should do a poll)))

So China's American bellhop will be on duty!! What's the story//!!

Loved the bumper sticker I saw yesterday:

ANNOY THE LIBERALS
Work - Succeed - Be Happy!

Get him and keep him there

Bush will beg for more money

Gee surprise, surprise! I mean he started a war for oil and has let thousands of soldiers die from his own country.. why in heaven's name would he ever make a stand for human rights in China!! The man is a brainless slug and his popularity is so low nothing can save his legacy now. What a loser he is.
I just can't believe the Olympics Commitee gave the games to China at all. All the human rights violations and the pollution! My gosh the athletes will all be having asthma attacks.

Mr Bush.......Have a safe trip........God bless you and God bless America !!!

An unjust war criminal attending the Olympics hosted by other unjust war criminals.. can't really say that I'm shocked. I for one will never watch a second of the Olympics while they are in China. It's a travesty.

Of course, Bush should attend. He did not want to isolate U.S. from the world. How many country leaders have expressed desire not to attend? I can only name a few: France, Germany, and a couple of other Europe countries. Do these countries represent the world? Of course, not. U.K. leader must be there at closing ceremony because they are the next host country. So it is hard for Mr. Brown from U.K. to be there at both openning and closing ceremonies.

In any case, the world goes on with or without the U.S. Please do not just think U.S. is the world. Mr. Bush had that view before and he has learnt a lesson.

May be he can ask the chinese to fogive our trillion dolor debt, just like he pleaded with the Saudi Oil barons to pump more oil. this GOP idiots would understand only money, money, money. Thease GOP neocons have no sence of humanity (Bogus relegious fanatics).

Vote GOP if it is Ok to have
49 million american's without health care insurance.
We spend 15% of the GDP on health care ( next is Canada with 7.8%), but have mortality stats 23 in the world ! Yeah, tell this to the GOP NeoCons. They will say, Saudis and others come to our country to get health care. All the while U.S citizens go shopping in Canada and Mexico to get cheaper prescription drugs, and have to choose to buy food or paying medical bills.

McCain will never understand this. Why ?
He has
1) Medicare
2) Millitary Health Care insurance
3) Senate Health Care
4) Insurance from his spouces 5$ bil Booze industry

He wants Health Care to be market driven. Tell this to the 49million uninsured. Health Care is a right, not a commodity. Ours is the only country where third parties ( Insurance carries, drug cartels) profits from deneing claims to the needy sick patients.

They'll probably give him a medal for the sweet trade deals he has given them. He is a hero to the Chinese Motherland.

Apparently it's okay for Barack Obama to talk to repressive dictators in Iran and Cuba, but heaven forbid Bush do so with China.

never come back!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bush has to go. We owe China too much money to offend them! We don't want them to turn off the money faucet. My gosh, how would we pay for our war?

That figures, Maybe they will abduct him and demand a ransom or use him as a target in the marksmanship competition.

Let's pray that he doesn't turn over the deed to the USA while he is there. His administration has already given the communists everything they want, and the land is about the only thing we have left.

It's hypocritical to condemn Iraq's dictator, Hussein, for killing a huge number of people when Bush is perfectly ok with being chummy with China's dictator. By the way China has killed the most people this year, more than ANY country. Hmmmm

I say boycott

Esther, he has already won the gold medal for destroying america! No competition.

*************************************
BAYJING........HEHEHE...LOVE CHINESE FOOD.

I don't care that Bush attends the olympics. I really care about the stupid trade policy he and his administration has put togther that has screwed the american people. I care about america . I don't care what is going on in china, the middle east, africa and all the other places in the world. I don't believe in nation building , foriegn aid or all of that crap. If you want freedom, fight for it yourself. If you don't want to starve, get ofoff your tail and figure out how to produce food.

who gives a flying shot? (just substitute another vowel for the 'o')

Lou July 3rd, 2008 4:03 pm ET

Obama just said he is rethinking the withdrawl of US troops from Iraq. Another politican who will say anything to get elected. I wonder if Move-On was consulted about this? Guess Not!
_____________________________________________________ So are you 1) an idiot who doesn't understand the spoken word 2) a moronic mccainite who can only distort what Obama said but not refute it or 3) a moronic clintonista who will twist and lie like their goddess to make obama seem bad? It must be one of the three because he has NEVER stepped away from his 16 months to 2 years statement.. good try though! NOT!! the lies and distortions will be corrected!

BUSH....boooooooooooooo boooooooooooooo boooooooooooo...go and stay there...and take McBush with you....

does somebody want to explain why you idiots voted this moron in not once but twice? I voted against him both times because it was apparent to me that he did n9ot have the best interest of world freedom and America in his heart, to go to the bejing opening ceremonies, to publically suck up to a despotic state is just wrong. I guess maybe if we ahd not mortgaged our future to fight an illegal, immoral and unjust war in Iraq we could tell China NO! but since we did, and oyu idiots are responsible for letting him do it, we have to go suck up to the Communist.. good job IDIOTS!

**** BREAKING NEWS ****

President Bush is secretly a spy for the Russian government. Created by a program known as "Red State,” the current president has been under communist control since the early 80's. Red State has worked out to be the single largest espionage effort by a former communist country that has actually been successful.

The plan, destroy the image of the United States, divide its people, kill off its image as a strong military presence, cripple it's economy and the will of American patriotism.

Fact: President Bush has had a long lasting friendship since he took office with a former KGB agent; the gentleman in question, Vladimir Putin, was the original architect of "Red State." Mr. Putin, also the former president of the Soviet Union, has been working behind the scenes with other communist governments to overthrow the USA when they looked their weakest. The other countries include, China, Venezuela, and North Korea. Unfortunately, North Korea has folded to pressure and the result is the rise of an unlikely Russian ally, Iran.

Don't be fooled fellow Americans we cannot let the continued communist influence in our government be the death of our great Nation.

Bush and McBush together in China! What a hoot! McBush simply can't shuck his 95% voting record for Bush. He is tied to the disasters within our economy: gasoline and energy price spiraling, unemployment, mortgage scandal and many more issues. He is also responsible for military strategy that has failed in spite of heroic measures and actions by our tropps. Five years Bush stated "Mission Accomplished!" Where is Osama Bin Laden? Captured? Are we safer from terrorists than before 9/11? How many more thousands of US troops must die and tens of thousands wounded before Bush and McBush admit they lied to go to war against Iraq so George could get pay back for his dad not finsihing his Iraqi War? Are you safer now as you were eight years ago? Are you better off financially now than eight years ago?

I hear they're running short on javelin catchers.

Obama just said he is rethinking the withdrawl of US troops from Iraq.

Lou – it reads re-thinking. McCain has yet to even THINK the first time.

Bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb war war war war

No thinking there

I wonder if this has anything to do with the recent delivery of food to Korea over the nuke removal? I'm sure that China was intricately involved with that effort. Korea is broke, but I'm sure it was pressure from China that led them to the agreement. I may hate Bush, but this does seem to have been a success and he owes China for the help. I'm sick over the China atrocities, but understand that the democrats are playing this, knowing a deal is a deal. They would have made the same deal. They knew this was the deal, and are using it politically. Unfortunately, Bush can't have it both ways. I have to give him props this time, even though I can't stand him. This is the reality of how business is done in the real world. We may not like it, but you have to work with people you don't agree with all the time.

He "claims" to be a rancher. Maybe he might decide to stay there and teach them how to ranch to feed themsleves. Also maybe he might use his greed to get them to start drilling their own oil or let his cronie oil business friends go over there so they can use their own resources. Could he show them the difference in lead paint????
I see that as a great future for him to go over and try to run their country.

LOU – What are you talking about???? DID YOU NOT JUST WATCH HIS AFTERNOON PRESS CONFERENCE TO THE PRESS IN FARGO????

Gee, running to the Chinese like a little lap dog, just the way his daddy sucked up to the Saudis. Connections and power over principles must run in the family. Just hope they leave someone's rear end left for Jeb to kiss.

oh the liberals and tree-huggers have thier panties in a knot.

I love it.

Matt, So if dictatorships are so great, why are we not talking to Cuba Iran and a lot of others, instead of warmongering and buy cutting them ??

But it is a political way to say, we accept how China treat the people and countries they control... Hey, at least we get good toys from there and our production plants are closing here in usa... viva the people

Of course he is, what does he care...He's moving back home soon...

I suggest they keep him as collateral on our debt.

Thanks China. America is in your debt. Keep the tainted toys and poison products coming. Say Hi to Tibet for us.

I too would criticize China's political and humanitarian record except I know that criticism would better start at home.
The vast majority of American consumers (yes, I'm pointing my finger at YOU) prop up the Chinese economy with their purchases. It results in trade imbalance. China is just the most prominent of such trade deficits, but certainly not the only trade partner. The result is weakened dollar. Yes, it drives down some costs too. But I guess it's the result of our unregulated trade with them. Let the consumer decide!
I also don't think we are in any position right now to criticize China about it's occupation of Tibet. We've illegally invaded another country as well, destroyed its infrastructure and killed thousands upon thousands of their civilians as 'collateral damage.' Until we clean up our act we really are not on the moral high ground to tell others what to do.
I know we like to blame Bush for the latter, but considering the 70+ percentage approval rating of this war in its first year I am sure the public shares a large part of the blame! So start being consistent and blaming China for the world's ills when we ourselves cause enough problems! Only then can we take back our rightful place as the inspiring leader of this world, instead of our current image of a bullying boss.

RONNIE:

"of coures Bush will attend...

you sir are no doubt some sort of low life trash that in an Obama administration would gladly take the psition Monica Lewinsky held in the Clinton administration In plain english, you sir "SUCK"

i hope one of the atheltes throw a javelin at him and score a direct hit.

The Prez boycotting the Olympics maybe that would work as well as Carter's Complete boycott of the Olympics in Russia! Oh wait, that didn't work at all!

If we can't get together every four years for the world's greatest sporting event what chance do we have in "getting together" for anything else?

Ummm...as one of the leaders of the free world, isn't he practically required to show that democracy is better than communism? Snubbing China ain't gonna help the situation. And Bush isn't responsible for selling the US to China. That happened long ago...

We'd better not talk smack about China, otherwise they might call in the hundreds of billions of dollars in debt we owe them!

I'll third that motion! Is he taking Jeb with him?

Maybe Obama should go and then China, will be able to see the past and the future.

Of course he'll attend the Beijing Olympics. Bush has nothing but respect and admiration for the Chinese government and their ultra-repressive policies, as well as their atrocious human rights record.

i agree esther,, the way hes messed up this country,, he can stay there,,, of course he will be guarded well,,, for obvious reasons,,, hes so good at talkin around his plans,,,, well hes only got a few months left so he will try to really go out in style at our expense,,,

Again, Bush shows he cares nothing about what the American people want and ask for. What an idiot! Is it Jan 09 yet???

Not if the Majority tell him not to... Who is the Majority? You will find out in November...

Bush attending or not attending the opening of the olympics is not going to change the way Beijing treats thier people or any other people. I think he should stay away from the opening but I doubt it will make any difference at all. My 2 cents

Maybe he'll get lost while he's there (please, please...)

That just gave me a reason to not watch the opening ceremony! I'm already sick & tired of hearing his 6th grade level intelligence utter through those crooked lips of his!!

stay there!

Well at least he won't be in Washington causing more trouble!

Vacation George accomplished all his work in the beginning of his first term, he lowered taxes for the rich, started a war and set up an energy policy to enrich the energy companies.

So, I guess he should continue with his "extended vacation" he did more than he ever thought possible!

Now, John McBush wants to continue the legacy, so watch out folks there are more countries to bomb and a renewal of the tax breaks for the rich.

Oh yes, and packing the courts so that the conservative judges can help hold the gains under this administration.

Suits him well. What did you expect? Considering that the interrogation techniques he has authorized are at the very least arguably torture, did you think he would not attend the ceremony as a protest against Chinas long list of human right abuse? Bad dog barking at evil dog?

Lovely to see how (most of) the other western leaders can choose to not attend the ceremony with a clean conscience...

MAYBE HE'LL STAY THERE..

I guess he doesn"t have a choice? How much money did China gave him for the Iraq war? LOL I guess China really played president Bush?

this presidency can be used as an olympic sport of destroying america hope if he goes they keep him

good job.keep supporting communists bush!

Awesome. China has definite shortcomings but a snub of this nations proudest moment would be stupid.

Of course he will. He doesn't want to boycott, because we are going to need to defer some of our loans.

see what happens when you don't "Vote for the smart guy"

I personally hope they keep him there until he pays all that is owed to them OUT OF HIS OWN POCKET !!!!

Obama 08

Gee how much "fuel" will that use up. How about staying home and focus on how much the price of gas and the economy is affecting Americans instead of spending our tax dollars to fly to China

This is horrible. Pres. Bush didn't attend the opening ceremonies at Athens. Pres. Clinton didn't go to Sydney. But Bush now wants to go to a China, a country whose Human Rights violatiios are high. Bush should have done what President's always do for Olympics on foriegn soil: SEND A DELEGATION

He'll be there to thank the Chinese for letting us use their torture techniques.

China can keep him. We don't want him back.

Obama 08

10-4

Please stay.

Who the heck cares................................

Should he not be allowed to go anywhere he has reason or business?

Should they not have anyone following them because they are finished... not even security?

thought he said he owuld not..... typical bush. OBAMA OR NO ONE!!!!

He will be carrying a big sack full of money to give them!!!! What a two faced jerk!!!

Wow... I am so happy. Stupid Olympics did not mean anything to me! Now they do. LOL!!!

Great! I hope he stays there!

I hope he has a wonderful time!

Got to squeeze in a few more vacations before next January, I guess.

stay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bush

Maybe they can arrange to get him stuck in the kelp that keeps accumulating, at least until his term is up so he can't do any more damage.

Birds of feather.....

Hopefully he chokes on the pollution and contracts bird flu.

Thank you President Bush for supporting a nation with some of the WORST human rights violations in the world!

Trying to get more pointers, Herr Bush?

Don't we have someone better to represent america? (hint: OBAMA) Bush has embarrased us enough!!

Of course he will. We invade Iraq to bring freedom, yet support China despite their mistreatment of Tibet?

Hypocrite.

Bush is irrelevant. And McCain is a fossil.

What a guy.

Hope he's got a one way ticket, he's successfully sold our country to them, as far as I'm concerned he should stay there.

TAKE DICK CHENEY WITH YOU AND STAY THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!

He can stay in China forever
Nobody in USA would notice his absence

Seeing as how it was recently made public that we do in fact endorse torture, it seems fitting that he attends.

Why do we have to pay for this??? If this was on his own dime would he go? 01/20/09..the last day, unless there is a Bush/Cheney coup.......

Of course, those are his buddies!

Well he has nothing else to do ; he is done messing up the country and world , why not attend the olympics despite what china continues to do to Tibet.

wow, how much did the journalist get paid for that story? I mean, it must have taken forever to write.

Of course Bush will attend. He has no problem with the dictators in China, only Iraq.

Can we get him to stay there until January 21st?

SURPRISE!!! NOT!!

Bush knows who owns him and his posturing waqs purely for Political reasons.

Do us a favor...just stay in China, oilman.

Does anyone really care about this. China can you keep the Bushes there ? Please

China–please keep him! Don't let him back on the plane after he gets there!

Obama just said he is rethinking the withdrawl of US troops from Iraq. Another politican who will say anything to get elected. I wonder if Move-On was consulted about this? Guess Not!

He has to attend. China owns him.

Of course Bush will attend the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Beijing.He has more in common with Communist Party of China than with the American people.

Is Bush taking McCain with him????

Bush's note to self....

"If given the opportunity to make a public statement on human rights atrocities – DON'T"

No worries...he's got that one covered.

It's good that he support the men and women that have worked all their lives to get their.

There are many other ways for the President to affect China's policy's, and boycotting the Olympic's isn't one of them

Good maybe he can get China to forgive our all of our debt.
