Bush: Skipping Olympics Would Be An Insult

Above all else, President Bush views his decision to attend the opening ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics as an act of patriotism.

"I think it would be good for these athletes who have worked hard to see their President waving that flag," he said during a press conference today.

Were he to boycott the event, as several other world leaders have pledged to do in response to the Chinese government's crackdown on Tibetan protestors, Mr. Bush thinks the Chinese people might take offense, reports CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller.

"The Chinese people are watching very carefully about the decisions by world leaders, and I happen to believe that not going to the opening ceremony for the games would be an affront to the Chinese people, which may make it more difficult to be able to speak frankly with the Chinese leadership," the president said.
