Am I an old fart or am I right to be pissed that some jackass is skateboarding down the halls of the White House while all this Iranian shit is going down?
We truly have succumbed to the idiocy of the MTV/Mountain Dew/Road Rules backward hat and baggy short culture. Did I miss something, or is the White House the future set for the next Real World? Where are the wallet chains? Is Hot Topic handling our foreign policy? Obama should be grounded for a week for letting Tony Hawk play in OUR house. Where in hell are the adults?
Look: Tony Hawk is in his mid forties. He's a grown man...and he skateboards. Could you imagine your dad or anyone who lived during World War II treating a man who skateboards with anything less than scorn and ridicule?
Right now, people are risking their lives for the glimmer of freedom, and Tony Hawk is in the White House tweeting about Frosted Flakes.
Someone please dig up Reagan. I'd take a dead leader with balls over a living camp counselor who wants all the cool kids to like him.
What a screaming joke.

It is wrong - and low down for you to say it.
Yep. Remember that Billy Jeff Clintoon popularized oral sex amongst the young set (oral sex isn't sex).
What's the use when there's no dignity or leadership qualities in our leaders?
~~PING!
Some people have no manners at all.
Thank you. I posted #25.
I wonder if this photo of Hawks skateboarding down the halls of the White House will become one of those “pictures that changed the world.” It just sums up Obama’s arrogance and sense of entitlement amidst great suffering.
Obama’s going to regret this decision.
And you’d probably catch “it” too!
I’m with you = at first I thought I was just a grumpy 54 yo
and this skateboarding in the WH disgusts me to no end.
Couldn't have said it better.
I expect to see hood graffiti on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier any day now.
I seriously doubt anyone in the Obama administration would let him skateboard in their own home.
I love Red Eye. And I love this commentary. It sums up my thoughts EXACTLY.
You know, when I first saw it, I was like, “Hmm. This kind of bothers me.” Then I tried to understand why it bothers me.
It’s disrespectful to the country. That is OUR HOUSE. And I wouldn’t want someone skateboarding through my house!!
“Look: Tony Hawk is in his mid forties. He’s a grown man...and he skateboards.”
Look, it isn’t easy being that guy...not knowing how to be a man must suck...
According to this site, Hawk’s said he “tried to get a better image but got shut down.” That makes me think this photo was not for public consumption, but Hawks just couldn’t resist putting it on the internet.
Ludacris, Zero’s buddy, has been spewing about turning the White House into the Black House. The way it’s heading it’ll soon be the Animal House. When will people start getting fed up? Or are we Americans truly past the age of decency and respect?
Disgraceful.
