Keeping it classy..for some reason I can't get on the Hill site now.:eek:

The Hill reported, via Drudge:


The crowd packed on the west side of the Capitol grounds serenaded President Bush in mocking fashion when he took to the inaugural stage alongside Vice President Dick Cheney.

"Nah nah nah nah, hey hey, good-bye," a section of the crowd chanted.

The crowd packed immediately below the podium received Bush in stony silence when he took his seat on the stage surrounding the podium where Barack Obama was scheduled to take the oath office to become the 44th president of the United States.

The jeers are among the final public feedback Bush will receive as president.

First Lady Laura Bush and Lynne Cheney received light applause when they were announced to the crowd.

Bush is scheduled to depart from the East Front of the Capitol by helicopter after the swearing-in ceremony.

Obama received the loudest sustained cheers from thousands who chanted his name.
And, once again it didn't matter that his daughters were there to witness the abuse...

Hatred knows no holidays.

The liberal socialists cannot tolerate any hint of opposition, at any time, to any degree at all. They will react to any they see, and will also react to any they imagine.

When Bush was introduce at the inauguration, he was roundly (and deservedly) booed.
Bush looked uncomfortable at the ceremony. As though he knew he was being held accountable for his role in fucking up the country and the world.

Once again the dems display their childish disrespect for the office.

I'd like to point out once again that there have been no stories of the Bush's defacing gov. property. Instead they've shown respect for the office that wasn't there during the Clinton years.

I don't expect much better from Obama and his Clinton retreads.

The point you seem to be missing is that if the situation was reversed - a crowd of Bush supporters would NOT have disrespected Obama that way...

Did Carter get booed during Reagan's first inauguration?

Did Clinton get booed during W's first inauguration?

Arguable, C&C caused more harm to this country than any other Presidents of our era, and/or sat back and let more harm come, that they could have stopped. Yet they were treated respectfully as they left office, during the ceremony.

Obama promised "change". Looks like this is one more example where he was right.

As I said, hatred knows no holidays... and the haters have now taken control.

Indeed during PMQs it can get pretty playground like, but that's more to do with having a laugh and taking the piss. But not talking about party on party, I mean the public on the parties, it's a much sharper and explosive split that we have. The party politics over hear is always done with a smile on the face, and we never have things like negitive tv ads about the opposition, infact I jmo when labour tried one about 2006, and labour were made into a laughng stock over it. I dunno it seems odd to me but you just seem to have a much more split country.

Unless Pres Obama breaks every promise he made to get elected, he will only make things worse

However, he has reversed himslef on raising taxes, closing Gitmo, pulling out of Iraq before the job is done, and on FISA

That said, he has to deal with Reid and Pelosi who will fight him on those reversals

If they get real tax relief. It will leave them more money in their pockets to spend which is 2/3 of our GDP

If buisness get tax cuts they will have more money to invest in capital investments, expand, then they will be able to hire more workers

Ut-Oh! Unt-uh Noir! I cannot remember a case of physical attack in our legislature. Your guys have hit each other with canes...... oh never mind!


You better go do some research ace! Your House of Parliament has had some doosies in their chamber my friend! Go back and check and you will find a number of infighting incidents that prevented the business from being done just like ours.

Whenever you have people in power who wish their way to prevail, you will get infighting over it's procurement and policy.

Now, as for the statement that will hurt. Our way of life provides more liberty than yours. Period! We sacrifice less and those steadfastly attached to the liberty will never lay down such as have yours my friend. For instance, our second amendment alone can never allow our citizenry to be striped of their weaponary and ability to provided themselves basic self defense from a represive government who wishes to infringe on them too many restrictions of a free life. Your people, surrendered like puppies in that regard, claiming to be more civil and so forth. Poppycock!

Social dependence on government in your country has torn away the heart of your people. You are like birds who fly in a formation, beautiful maybe, to those who fly in formation, but we like eagles, independance and making our own decisions which stimulates emotion, individual responsibility and trail blazing, not following paths. It is what makes our country the finest in the world! In 233 years, we have changed the world a million fold, in a way your country could not have dreamed of. Your country is a part of something that tried to rule the earth, or as much of it as possible. Your soldiers beat innocent Indians, killed Irish people and jailed political dissidents in Africa. Shame...shame. Our country seeks to free the earth, create real democracies, not socialist countries, like yours, and with that comes great political and sparked debate in our chambers of law and government. Our tug of war is brutal yes! Yes indeed it is! Today, we in our country witnessed the transfer of power from one philosophy to an exact extreme opposite in a way like is done by no other country in the world. We are the envy of the world and you know it! AND.... we welcome your criticism and in my hope.... always will!

Stop critisizing my country at your leisure on here, I don't like it! Got something constructive to say... fine... otherwise, get ready for rebuttle my friend!

Have a nice day Noir!

that is true .....the recent congress could have stopped this but did not ......

if congress keeps going they will repeat what they did in the 30's and this will go on for some time.....and yes they will blame bush just as folks blamed hooverfor fdr's new deal ....but all is not lost....wwiii is looming in the middle east which should bring the economy around.....

To do that they'd have to expose what they know to be the lie, that FDR 'saved the country' from the depression. I do think he gave hope, but his policies prolonged and deepened the problems. Then there were the residual effects, that we're still living with.

When Bush was introduce at the inauguration, he was roundly (and deservedly) booed.
Bush looked uncomfortable at the ceremony. As though he knew he was being held accountable for his role in fucking up the country and the world.

This is exactly why children shouldnt be in charge.

Bush deserves to be mocked. He has messed up America the past eight years, they are glad to be rid of him.

Fools mock, but they shall mourn.

I thought the Obama's made very clear they disagreed with the infantile behavior of their 'supporters' in the VIP section. They went out of their way to not only shake hands, the traditional way of seeing the previous president off, but to embrace and whisper, not once, but twice.

The point you seem to be missing is that if the situation was reversed - a crowd of Bush supporters would NOT have disrespected Obama that way...Look at your sig line!

It's pathetic that Bush was mocked today, just as it was pathetic that he was mocked at his two inaugurations. I support people's freedom of speech, but their lack of class and decorum is obvious.

someone pointed out this little gem on the Obama-Biden official government site.

Katrina
President Obama will keep the broken promises made by President Bush to rebuild New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. He and Vice President Biden will take steps to ensure that the federal government will never again allow such catastrophic failures in emergency planning and response to occur.

President Obama swiftly responded to Hurricane Katrina. Citing the Bush Administration's "unconscionable ineptitude" in responding to Hurricane Katrina, then-Senator Obama introduced legislation requiring disaster planners to take into account the specific needs of low-income hurricane victims. Obama visited thousands of Hurricane survivors in the Houston Convention Center and later took three more trips to the region. He worked with members of the Congressional Black Caucus to introduce legislation to address the immediate income, employment, business, and housing needs of Gulf Coast communities.

President Barack Obama will partner with the people of the Gulf Coast to rebuild now, stronger than ever.

The lack of class and intellect of these people who worship Obama is pathetic.

Booing and singing Na na Na Na Hey Hey Hey goodbye. Some people have really become pathetic citizens, that couldn't be respectful to a former President leaving office.

Pres Bush has always been kind and polite to people

I guess Abbey Pres Bush didn't offer enough hope and change for these people

To these people, hope is the process that replaces hard work to advance.

Change is the policy to extract wealth from those who worked hard for it to give to those who used the hope to advance in life.

Just as demonstrators clogged the barricades to protest his court-mediated victory in the 2000 election, so the disenchanted lined Pennsylvania Avenue on Tuesday to express their dismay with the way his presidency turned out.

On the drive to Capitol Hill, the current and future presidents passed protesters carrying signs reading "Arrest Bush." When Bush entered the grandstand with the band playing "Hail to the Chief" for the last time, the crowd below began singing a different refrain: "Hey, Hey, Good-bye." One man waved his shoe.

No sitting President ever deserves to be mocked like that and it shows the utter lack of respect for he office and the childishness of the democratic party.

NO other President has ever been treated like that during an inauguration not Clinton not even Carter.

Get used to it. Obama followers are going to get much much more disrespectful should Obama not live up to his hype

But not everyone hate pres Bush as the looney left does



Thousands Celebrate George W. Bush's Visit to the Basin 1/20/09

CBS 7 News Staff
January 20, 2009

The day of celebration continued for thousands here in the basin as they poured into Centennial Plaza to welcome home George W. Bush.

Sherri Merket said, “its just inhalation. I'm just so proud he came back to Midland.”

A sentiment that seemed to resound through the thousands of people that poured into Centennial Plaza with a flurry of excitement.

“We were here eight years ago my son and I and it was freezing. I was thrilled he came back.”

Bush supporters took their spots -some with patriotic flair even one who looked much like Sarah Palin was among the crowd.

Young and old stood for hours entertained by lee greenwood, the Gatlin Brothers and Rodney Atkins -as they waited for their moment with George W. Bush.

Myra Marquez said, “I'm proud to be American proud to have him as a president.”
