caveman99 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 me too Try now. Can get to the site, but the story won't load. Can you give a gist, all I can glean is from the story title that Bush was mocked today. Quote Link to comment
tattooedhusker Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Don't like anything about Bush, but still should of had more respect about it, uncalled for to say the least Quote Link to comment
killer cacti Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 Here's the copy & paste. Bush Mocked As He Arrives on Inauguration Dais @ 11:52 am by Hill Staff 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. Before Obama took the stage the crowd gave its warmest welcome to former President Bill Clinton and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) Vice-president elect Joe Biden also Michelle Obama also received warm welcomes. House Democratic lawmakers formed a raucous audience from the section of seats rising immediately south of the speaker's podium. They launched into a "Rahmbo" chant when they spotted White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel. -Alexander Bolton Quote Link to comment
Army Husker Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Gotta love that free speech...I'm sure all those who chanted have fought to earn that right, or done something substantial to earn it. Quote Link to comment
kansas husker Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I wonder what the founding fathers would say if they knew a president was being mocked like that Quote Link to comment
Blackshirtsguru Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I was never a fan of Bush but he was once my Commander In Chief. I think what was done was very distasteful to say the least! Quote Link to comment
HANC Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I am not into politics to say the least, and do not claim to know much.... I do follow major issues and am excited to see what direction the USA takes under the new President. I thought Obama did a nice job on his speech and really said some important things... On the other hand, someone in the Omaha paper tried to point something out to the "Bush Bashers"....... To everyone who seems to spew nothing but hatred toward former President Bush......ask yourself..... how many terrorist attacks have happened on American soil since 911? He may not have made popular decisions for some, but it appears he has kept terrorism OUT of the USA , thus, keeping YOUR BUTT SAFE !!!! Remember, these aren't "my words", but something that appeared in the local paper that really made me think. With that said, I think Bush deserves respect, and let's support Obama in his effort to "pick up and dust off the USA"....(from his speech today) Quote Link to comment
hosker Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I wonder what the founding fathers would say if they knew a president was being mocked like that i wonder what the founding fathers would say about the way we let the gov. over regulate sh#t now days too. personally, i think the founders would be proud of us for mocking a dumb ass president(as they did the same with the king of england- tea party anyone)... hopefully obama will do better, but i don't think he will. the biggest problem in this country(arguably) is greed(within the gov. and otherwise), and the willingness of the politicians to allow it... obama won't change that!!! i could care less about how many "acts of terrorism" happen on american soil, as long as i have my personal rights and civil liberties.... and bush didn't protect them, in fact he took some away.(patriot act, and the north american union come to mind on that subject).

BIGREDIOWAN Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 While I didn't think he was a great President, he still deserves my respect for taking on such a tough job. That's disrespectful as hell................... Quote Link to comment
