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.
Ungrateful assholes.
Well, Obama promised change. Guess that includes civility.
Dems - the party of jackasses.
How typical - welcome to 4 years of classless high school antics. It’s going to be so fun. /s
Those are their porta-potties, now....
Disgusting.
Buyer’s remorse is going to be a B!@#H when it arrives.
I’m going to enjoy every minute of it too, regardless what happens.
Bastards asked for it and they’re definitely going to get it.
You can’t expect civility from rude, spoiled brats who need to be taken to the woodshed.
I guess that “new tone” thing didn’t work out afterall.
Looks like we’ve now-reached the cheap, pimply-faced adolescent stage.
The ongoing, now 40+ year old downward spiral of America continues....
> “Nah nah nah nah, hey hey, good-bye,” a section of the crowd chanted.
Classy bunch of Birkenstock-wearing dope-smoking hippies.
I hope they get everything they so richly deserve from Obama.
God Bless America
God Save the Republic
*DieHard*
just proves a point about the people that voted for the messiah.....these people should have been thanking the man for keeping their ungratful asses safe all these years.
No change from the hopeful zombies.
He keeps this country safe for 7 years, he liberates millions of muslims, he presided over a booming economy until last year, and this is the thanks he gets?
Sometimes I wonder if this country is worth saving.
Now I am ashamed of my country.
“Dems - the party of jackasses.”
Talk about appropriate symbols!
Tell me again why I’m supposed to, according to the leftists, show respect to our new President?
I won’t follow their example however. I’m not a jack@&&.
Trash is now running this country. Reminds me of how the Jackson democrats acted after beating JQA. Disgusting.
