I wonder what Bush thought as he was flown away and he looked out of the helicopter at the throngs of cheering people giving him the finger and singing ‘nah nah na na hey hey-eh goodbye.’ Was it relief that it is over or regret that he failed? Or something else.
Obama is signing his first executive orders.
“It’s a good thing that it was too cold for all of those people to throw their shoes at me!”
Jay Leno last night said that Bush was leaving with his head held high (pause) he can spot incoming shoes better that way.
A person was arrested for throwing a shoe at the White House yesterday.
Unreal!
It was a shoe of mass disrespection.
Musical accompaniment for the departure of the worst president ever:
Ray Charles:
Grateful Dead
Blondie
I think Pig Pen died within days of that performance.
If you haven’t seen it yet, they’ve gotten a head start over at White House.gov. Unbelievable.
Really?? You’ve made my day reporting that!
Really.
i need footage of that.
It was intermittent when Bush was first introduced, but as he was approaching the helicopter is was rather pronounced.
Video?!!? I stopped watching too soon!!
there’s a priceless photo of President Obama’s youngest giving him the thumbs up.
It was so amazing!! And so right.
Are these the ones canceling Bush’s Executive Orders? I hope so!
“I am Ex-
This afternoon I get piss drunk”
I wonder what Obama ‘got’ for not prosecuting. I hope he ‘got’ something. Even if he wants to, I wonder how it would get done without completely poisoning the well.
Well, if the Repugs are willing to turn on Bushy boy. Now that hell has frozen over, anything is possible I guess, but I’m not holding breath.
I know it’s too early to say all that, but really, the establishment is going to try a former President?!!?
Please someone point to some smidgen of hope that justice will also be served.
Next time he chokes on beer and pretzels there won’t be a gaggle of sycophants surrounding him to apply the Heimlich…
I watched the inauguration in a theater rented for us by Rep Allyson Schwartz (D-PA 13) and boy, could I tell I was watching it with Democrats! The newsperson announced that as Biden had been sworn in as VP, Obama hadn’t been sworn in yet, as it was now 12:05 and Bush’s term expired at 12:00 that Biden was the President for a few minutes. The whole audience in the theater cheered!
I don’t care what he thinks. GOOD RIDDANCE.
I recall how cold and wet it was when I was in DC to protest his theft of the election.
Senator Ted Kennedy has been taken out of the luncheon, due to some medical concerns.
A few notes on “How to celebrate your oppression through a Presidential invocation.”
Such important analysis on Lincoln’s bible, was it his, which version of the bible is it yada, yada, yada.
Anyone who naysays The Prince of Hope is a “beyond the pale cynic” who only wants to harsh the buzz of the American moment.
What color is Michele’s dress? Mustard?
So much comity between the aisles.
Joe Biden chatting away. Does that even need to be discussed? Twitter, twitter, twitter.
Everyone’s here but the star of the show, Barack H. Obama.
Baritone voice: “Ladies and Gentlemen.”
Heraldic trumpets in the background.
“My country tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty…and so on…”
Great stuff coming soon to the American political theatre.
Warmed over American Exceptionalism.
Whitewashing of history.
Veiled threats to those who don’t get on board.
America as ‘can-do’ Nation and pretty darn special in fact the mostest specialist ever, in God’s eyes.

I’m pretty sure you could write a simple computer program to create an Obama speech.
“The challenges before us are great. The obstacles we face are daunting. We must stand determined. The road ahead is long and hard.
But together we will rise to a New Day. Through the strength of our principles and courage of our convictions..blah blah blah”
Industrial strength pablum is what it is..gotta be a vat of it in some factory in New Jersey or something..takes a lot more than Maalox to choke this crap down.
What color is Michele’s dress? Mustard?
Chartreuse. I can lend her some gloves to match.
I read online about the designer and it’s lemon grass yellow.
Chartreuse is the color of her outfit.
I could lend her gloves to match.
