Bush goes to Olympics

- Amid protesting, Bush says he's going to China.

Presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton wants President Bush to stay home instead of going to the Olympics opening ceremonies in Beijing. Should Bush change his mind about attending the event, politics could rule over the Olympics this summer.
There has been constant protesting against China since violence erupted in Tibet.
Clinton claims the Bush administration "has been wrong to downplay human rights in its policy towards China."
Bush plans to attend the Olympics this summer, under the belief that it is a sporting event rather than a political one.
