so yes, the chien nenese feel te being unfairly singled out. they feel if it had been a michael phelps or another swimming sensation, we wouldn't be talking about it. it would have been fabulous news and yet in this case, it's cheating. >> i think i was encouraged, and i said this to our guest tonight by the reaction of the chinese over here in london to the other scandal involving the badminton teams, one of whom was the china team, where they deliberately lost to avoid meeting some of their rivals in later stages. the cheen nies were very quick to come down on this thing. it wasn't in the olympic spirit and endorsing the decision to suspend and throw them out of the games. how has that gone down in china? is it being seen as a sign that china really has changed? they are now prepared to play by the rules of the olympic games? >> yes, it is one of the top trending topics, especially in the micro blogging sites here. and indeed, most of the people who were posting were supportive of china's quick response. they think that that is in the spirit

i think that is a an important lesson learned from ka chien that. we talk about the dual screens. i think the tone has to be much more about mitt romney and much more positive than they would have used and much less about an attack on president obama in the middle of this. i think both sides learned a lot from katrina. >> thank you, matthew dowd. >>> let's go back to sam champion. what is the latest you can tell us about isaac, sam? >> well, robin, good morning, again. let's take a look at what the rain field will be. correctly described by many on the storm, it's not just the coastal impact but days and days of flooding rains. it will extend to dallas and st. louis and maybe beyond. for days, very heavy flooding rain. >> thank you, sam. keep it here on abc for the latest on isaac. we return you to your regular programming. for you out west, that means "good morning america." we wish you all a good day. >>> again, we just heard the president speaking in advance of a three-state trip he'll be leaving on. discussing emergency preparations for tropical storm isaac as it makes its way
