This seems kind of wildly disrespectful, doesn’t it?

It’s “progress” in their eyes.

Obama has turned this country into the Titanic.

” Hawk, 41, skated in the grand foyer and the nearby Old Executive Office Building, with the permission of White House officials.”

A 41 yr old ??
With permission from the Obamas ??
What’s the point ?
Other than to scratch the floors .
And disrespect the People’s House.
And reinforce that trashy people come in all colors.
Not just white.

No more disrespectful than Andrew Jackson riding a horse into the front foyer at one of his “parties.”

My 12 year old son is a skateboarder, and he said this was the most ridiculous thing he had ever seen. He compared it to skating in church.

This is a man with no sense of history, and no respect for something that he cannot possibly understand. And I mean not because he is black but because he is a communist!

The same disrespect as when he releases pictures of himself talking to other heads of state with his dirty shoes on the desk, or him playing footbal with aides in the Oval office.

A disrespectful and poorly raised man sullying the symbols of our freedom and independence with a passion bordering on hate.

And before anyone starts reefing on me for being a fuddy-daddy, ask yourself: Would he have allowed this clown to skateboard in his house?

From one fuddy-duddy to another, having this counterfeit in the White House is just one grievingly outrageous defilement begetting more outrageous defilement. Your post is spot on.

I’m sure as a youngster, Obummer didn’t learn American history while going to Muslin schools overseas. Maybe this is just another small example of why we don’t allow foreign born citizens to be president.
He did show his upbringing when he bowed to the Saudi king, tho. I would bet he can still show you the proper routine for saying his Muslim prayers, also.
The more I see of this man, the more I believe that he is not fit to be president.

Nothing is sacred anymore. Our once regal and respected institutions are being turned into a freak show by Obama. The destruction of America is underway.

It just astounds me that they (Obama’s) approved of it. Who pays for the upkeep on the floors of that hallway anyway?

I bet if Michelle my Belle had to get on her hands and knees and scrub them floors there wouldn’t be no skating on them....

What a wonderful lesson to teach our young folks on this fathers day weekend... trash your houses kids we take no responsibility for any of our actions its all FREEE take, take, take, screw the people that are working hard for it ... laught at them and say this is OBAMA time.....

“This is a man with no sense of history, and no respect for something that he cannot possibly understand.’

Wonder how many folks will call and email the WH complaining about the disrespect shown here? Not that it will do any good, but we need to draw the line somewhere....

Just pretend this was the Bush WH, what headlines would they print in the NYSlimes?

This guy is good, but he’s also responsible for deluding 2.7 million kids into thinking they can “go pro” at skateboarding.

Outrageous but depending on the public feedback this may turn into another one of those.... Obama was just as outraged when he found out about it blah, blah, blah,,.....

BULL...Obama approved it.
