| 64. IMO I expect Obama to take the same stance on this... |

And in that case both of them will be dead wrong. As said above, a boycott of the entire games by multiple nations MIGHT do something even though I'm not entirely convinced it will. Boycotting the opening ceremony won't do anything except make us feel good about ourselves.
