I wouldn't call using the Olympics in any capacity for political purposes and breaking an act of Congress some "obscure" law (sorry no act of Congress made 6 years ago should be considered an obscure law. Try going to court and saying "I was arrested for some obscure law made 6 years ago.). The law says very clearly, the USOC CONTROLS for commercial purposes any reference to the olympics, and that it should not be used for ANY political purpose.. Sorry, to offend anyone, but a political commercial IS still a commercial and therefore use of the Olympics should not be used in any form.

(Do you think John Smith using a commercial of some olympic kid from his city
in a commercial for his mayorial campaign would not get into any form of trouble? If Kerry had used the Olympics, do you not think Bush would use the same law as this and condemn Kerry?)
My point is twofold, 1) if ethically, morally, or legally questionable why even do it especially if asked not to. And 2) we had a sitting president that was tried and almost impeached for far less.

I guess everyone here is right, we should let Bush get away with breaking an act of Congress, and say... "ooo that, it's nothing, just if you hate Bush it is something." What will we let him get away with next and make excuses for allowing him to do it?

Yet, the next time a Dem. president gets a bj in the Oval office and lies about it (as if NOT 1 man would lie about having an affair) it's ok to spend billions upon billions of tax dollars to try to boot him from office not because he lied, but because he represents something the GOP is scared of, a Democrat President.

Using the Iraqi and Afghanistan teams against their wishes to promote YOUR agenda is immoral and should not be done or approved of in any way. Then for one of those players to come forward and be quoted as saying he would be fighting (killing) us in Iraq, AND you still choose to use that? Are you so inconsiderate and fucking nuts?

Gee, let's think here... Bush wants to make heroes of the Iraqi team by saying "Look what I did." Then this hero, HE MADE, says, basically, "Yeah, I'd be over there killing your people if I were home." Does anyone not believe that sends a message to the Iraqi people?

Makes no sense to me how anyone can say this is ok.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
