I have memories of watching the Olympics in my grandma's living room, so it has to be 1972 and 1976 I'm recalling. I recall nothing about terrorist attacks or boycotts, I was a young child, but I remember we saw only the Eastern Block countries' athletes compete-the one and only channel was of course totally censored- and everyone rooted for the commies against the West. This year's Olympics seem to have the same air as Pres. Putin surrounds himself with some fellow tyrants-er, leaders-from about. It's East meets West, a showdown!
My husband reminds me Russia is not communist any more....and I reminded him that we're not a democratic republic any more .... now that I think about it, Pres. Obama should fit right in, he really should have gone. I can just see it now, Obama and Putin, arms raised in unison as they say "Super Pen Powers, activate!"
