    Is the U.S. president usally expected to attend the Olympics? If the games were in the U.S., I'd understand him not attending being a story, but given our ongoing economic crisis, the need for healthcare reform (or at least debate and a decision) and wars on two fronts, I'm okay if he has to work. :-) Also, Apolo Anton Ono. He doesn't seem as crush-worthy as he did the last time around (at least not in the ads), but I'm still looking forward to watching him skate!

    I love everything about the Winter Olympics from skiing to speedskating to figureskating. It's a chance to be proud of our country and its athletes. And I'm sure President Obama has made the decision not to go because of all the people in our country who are unemployed and suffering. I'm sure he does not want to be viewed as having a good time in spite of it. But you know, whatever he does, his detractors will have something to say about it. Go, USA! Win that gold!

    I love to watch the Olympics especially ice skating and snowboarding, if Obama went alot of people would just bitch about it, I am sure he will enjoy watching at home with family and friends.

    Not very interested in the Winter Olympics, though I do like to watch figureskating on occasion... and whatever the Prez decides to do, is a.o.k. with me and mine.

    All sports are boring to me, give me a sewing machine and old movies to watch and I'm a happy camper!

    I love the olympics. When I was working I would take 2 weeks off to watch them

    I love the Olympics. I watch both summer and winter games. I love the pageantry of the opening and closing ceremonies. I even dug out my avatar 3d glasses just in case.

    I am mainly only planning on watching the couple people that I know that are in the olympics. I might watch skating or skiing events if I happen to be somewhere and they are on.

    I love the Olympics; mostly the hockey events however. I was saddened to see the death of an athlete today on the luge; so sad for him and his family.
