President Bush And The Beijing Olympics Explained

Not really.
But maybe after enough comments have been left here, it will be. My friend Chris Carr over at the China MBA Trip blog has a post up (probably mostly for his MBA students), entitled, "Comrades, Sport is Pure!! Yeah, Right … and I’m Warren Buffet," asking a slew of interesting questions relating to President Bush's decision to go to Beijing for the 2008 Olympics.
I too have been wondering about all this and I am hoping that the comments there will give answers. So go there and express yourself.

I'm glad there is finally some realistic responses to Chris Carr's panda-licking posts. Bush accepted the invitation in the name of diplomacy and maintaining a positive atmosphere at APEC, to rebuke Hu would have a tenuous situation very sour, but it is always easy to come with a last minute reason to not come.

Hi Dan.
Thanks for the post.
Since a bizillion people read your blog, and if they read happen to read this comment, all should know that our MBA trip blog is for students AND non-students.
In time, I should explore renaming it and/or reformatting it to better signal that.
The insight of others is often very helpful to our business students to see and learn from.
Keep up the great work.
Cheers.

Just a recognition by the big boy on the block of the new kid/challenger. Remember what Vito Corleone said, "Keep your friends close, but your ... closer."

The way things are going I wouldn't be surprised Bush returns to US on the second day of Olympics and drops by Iraq on the way too.
