President Barack Obama has chosen not to head to Rio for the Summer Olympics, keeping with the tradition of most American presidents. Bush went to the 2008 Opening Ceremony in Beijing, China and met with then-president Hu Jintao
President Barack Obama has chosen not to head to Rio for the Summer Olympics, which kicked off on Friday amidst fears of Zika, rushed construction, and reports of raw sewage in the water. He also missed out on the 2012 London games, as well as the 2010 and 2014 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada, and Sochi, Russia, respectively. But former American presidents have typically stayed behind when the Games were held outside of the United States. George W. Bush broke with tradition in the final year of his presidency and went to the 2008 Opening Ceremony in Beijing, China. He turned the trip into a working visit and held talks with China's president at the time, Hu Jintao, and delivered remarks from the new United States Embassy in Beijing in between delegation activities. A White House official said the prevalence of the Zika virus in Brazil did not affect Obama's decision not to attend the 2016 Games nor did recent reports describing security and sanitation problems in the Latin American American country. 'We have indicated for months that he wasn't going and have said...that Zika wouldn't impact the President's travel plans,' a senior administration official said Wednesday, in response to an inquiry from DailyMail.com.
