Create-a-Caption: 'All right boys, let's beat China by 30!'

By Nick Friedell

The President is definitely making the most of his time in Beijing. It looks like he gave the U.S.A. men's basketball team a few words of wisdom before they headed out to face China. Whatever he said, must have worked.

What do you think those words were? Put your best caption ideas down below ...

After the jump, check out some other shots of the First Family before the game.

Where's Laura?

George and friends

    its weird because during the olympics you forget all the crazy things that's happening in the world and how much you hate Bush. Its all about the world coming together and pitting the best athletes together to see who comes out on top

    And on the second one: President Bush promised the team them could have his daughter if they beat China by more than 30 points. Barbara cheered "USA!" louder than anyone during the game.
