"I don’t give a goddamn," Bush retorted. "I’m the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way."

"Mr. President," one aide in the meeting said. "There is a valid case that the provisions in this law undermine the Constitution."

China using 'child labour' to produce Olympics merchandise | Press Esc

China using 'child labour' to produce Olympics merchandise | Press Esc: "12 year-old children are forced to work 12 hours a day, seven days a week in unsafe and unhealthy conditions making Olympic merchandise, according to a report released by labour rights group ahead of the International Olympic Committee meeting in London today."

Is displacing more than a million people and adding to China's child labor problem really worth it for an athletic competition? Perhaps the decision makers of the Olympic committee should reconsider allowing China to host the games in the future.
