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.
The dems started criminalizing policy differences during the Nixon administration, and like so many other things, the Republicans did nothing about it when they had the opportunity.
What's worse is that the GOP tends to look the other way when they SHOULD be going after genuine law breakers in the Democrat party.
There are certain elements of society that are immune from prosecution for doing their jobs (judges, etc.) even if you do happen to disagree with they way they did the job.
That immunity (with narrow, specific language) should've been passed re government officials while the Republicans were in power, knowing how the left operates.
But they didn't, and now many of them will soon find out how Scooter Libby felt.
I don't believe they'll try to prosecute GWB personally, though.
That would precipitate the type of reaction even the Dems wouldn't be able to handle.
Patrick Ewing looked very feminine today in that yellow dress and green shoes.
Yep. I interrupted my total news blackout today to scan FR and this is the first thing I saw. I cried for my country after reading it.
Is there ANY way you can get a copy of the picture of Rahm E. sent to Bill O’Reilly for his TV show??? We’ll never see it anywere else!!! It should be shown!
It just shows you we are dealing with some pretty infantile people.
Nothing the Democrats do surprises me. At least Obama didn't order Bush arrested after he was sworn in, as an element in the Democratic Party was calling for.
No one - and I mean no one - can hate like liberals can.
LOL! that is EXACTLY who that TC think looks like.
These people have absolutely no class. But I am absolutely sure of one thing. The Lord is watching and He is not pleased.
And obummer had the audacity to lecture about acting childish in his speech? haha
A picture of another tax cheat. I bet he is thumbing his nose at the IRS.
I cannot find the video of this. I saw it yesterday but the Hill doesn’t have it up anymore. Does anyone know where I can view it?
