Not to jump on the side of this little socialist snot, but how many pres-elects have ever attended the farewell speeches of out going presidents? I’m sure they are few and far between.

I was wondering the same thing.

But, even if it is not common for incoming presidents to attend, he should have waited until after the speech to leave his home. His lack of interest appears very disrespecstful.

"At 8 pm, just as pres bush began his farewell speech peotus obama left blair house for the 30 second drive to equinox restaurant ..."

Obama made his point. Even if he didn't attend, he could have waited until 8:30, ordered in, cooked at home. No, he was making a point. He is LOW CLASS.

It wasn't about attending. It's rare for anyone to attend a President's farewell speeches (Clinton's and Reagan's speeches were delivered alone to the camera).

The classy thing would be for Obama to stay in Blair House--where he can have anything he wants delivered, for crying out loud--instead of causing a media circus right across the street from the White House just as the President is making his speech.

This is low-life thug behavior. Typical of what we're going to see, imo.

Perhaps none, but how many had a press pool to witness and report their disrespect? It gets my goat that GWB is doing his utmost to see a smooth transition for this ungrateful SOB.

BTW would you or anyone know if it was GWB who called the former Presidents together for a meeting with Zero? That was my impression but Nora O'Donnell reported that Zero requested the meeting.

Does anyone know for sure that 'bambo was even invited?
