"It's medication time..."
During the Carter administration, one section of Interior Dept use to have evening wine and popcorn parties. Talking to the cleaning lady the next day, she was PO’d for the mess that was left. The dignity of the office was lost then as it is now.
I remember reading when the elder Bush attended one of the younger Bush’s meetings early on one of the staffers sitting in (it was a weekend) on a briefing was wearing shorts, basically casual clothes while all the others were wearing suits & ties. The elder castigated the staffer about his clothing and the staffer learned to put on suits & ties. That showed dignity.
I hope that guys skates hit a chicken bone or watermellon seed on the floor and crashed and busted his a$$.
Well, if you’re an old fart, then I must be one, too! AND a pissed off old fart at that! How disrespectful!!!! Sickening!
It’s the modern day version of the Roman Bread & Circuses routine.
This juvenile act of vandalism was done with the full permission of the Obamas.
Hmmm...I wonder if Hawks wanted to skateboard through a mosque,
if Obama would have given him full permission ??
The Obamas treat the White House like it’s an outhouse.
With these two, it’s always one giant middle finger to Americans.
I am disgusted by this as well. Ronald Reagan would not go into the Oval Office without a suit coat and tie on. He would turn in his grave if he could witness this. It’s disgraceful.
The skateboarding was an “in your face” gesture demonstrating 1) Obama, his handlers, and the Dems can do whatever they like with the White House, thank you, and 2) the age of reverence for America is so over, Dudes. —But this picture can come back to haunt them all later as iconic of this era, if we are attacked, for instance. This idiotic picture needs to be saved to hard drive; it could become quite useful in time.

When the world is in crisis, B Hussein distracts himself with the inane.
~~PING!
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.
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 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...
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?
