Parting shot
And they lecture us about showing more respect?
Wonder how many of the people booing at the ceremony or singing “Hey, hey, goodbye” as Executive One lifted off were carrying media credentials.
BDS never dies.

Just boos, no shoes !
Bush deserves boos but for being a spendthrift socialist.
Letting go of BDS when Bush leaves office would require rational thought, and that’s something the left isn’t known for. Come to think of it, there wasn’t anything rational about BDS to begin with.
Sounds like typical Dem-Libtard class showing itself again.
Classy bunch.
I hate to say it but let’s give them ODS. Turnabout is fair play.
Resembles the moment in Cloverfield when the kids escaped in the military chopper, looking down at the city as the monster destroyed everything.
Thanks to Bush we were terrorism free inside our borders for 8 years. The man is not perfect but he certainly kept us safe. Now if we could just get to securing our southern border and deporting all illegal aliens it would be sweet. Just think of all the taxpayer money saved in the long haul!
No President of The United States should be booed or shoed. Ever. We are better than that. Let the success of their policies speak for them. And let’s not forget that we have enemies abroad and within who will use such childishness against our amazing Nation.
I did not vote for Barack Obama, but he is now my President. I will not treat him the way that George Bush was treated out of some petty game of “but they did it first”. Anyone that decides to descend into ODS deserves to be treated with the same scorn that the BDS idiots get.
No matter how many times it occurs, I can still not get over the blatant hypocrisy that these hideous people that call themselves “tolerant”, amongst other things, portray on a minute by minute basis.
And the thing that makes it so much more hideous, is how they can do it and do it and do it and they get away with it. No one of any consequence calls them on it. They are permitted to get away with it. Not just permitted to get away with it, but encouraged to become even more obnoxious and offensive every time they open up their mouths, write on a website or periodical, or whatever medium they end up getting a hold of.
This is the “Era of Responsibility”? This is the party of “tolerance”? This is what comes the day after this country had Martin Luther King Jr. Day?
Yet not one, NOT ONE of those childish, immature, repugnant idiots will feel the slightest bit of embarrassment.
I can still hold on to the hope that all of their childish and obnoxious antics will someday soon come back to bite them in their collective a&&es, but as each day presents yet one more example of their going lower and lower, I am losing faith even in that.
Sorry. These little children have never, ever considered anything like that.
They whine about what the USA looks like to the rest of the world when we protect ourselves, yet never give a seconds thought to disrespecting the highest office in the country, and what that might look like to the rest of the world.
Absolute fools.
I am not surprised in the least…was anyone here? BDS is no more than pure blind hatred without rational cause…these fools do not have any idea how liberal bush was…I’ve often felt over the last 8 yrs. what are they bitching about damn near everything he did was liberal.
Since these are the people that LOVE Obama, I afraid this is going to be… “The most corrupt administration evhaa”
Just got home to northern
MexicoVirginia after leaving to avoid thecoronationinauguration.I avoided all the CNN in the airports while traveling, avoided newspapers, everything. But still can’t shake a feeling of awfulness. You gotta love a nation that votes to hasten it’s own destruction, and then celebrates the fact.
What a rotten day.
Liberals showing of their class and tolerance.
True. I may dislike their policies and I may disrespect particular men on a personal level, but in an official capacity I would be deferential and respectful to the office they represent.
I lived through the Clinton years, somehow I will make it through the Obama years.
Once you grasp the concept that rules are for losers then you will understand why the Dems get away with almost everything.
We’re screwed.

Grownups don’t rub victories in the face of the losers. Grownups don’t act like spoiled children when they win a game, in this case, politics. You won the damn election. You have both houses of Congress. Maybe a little class is in order? Maybe a little of that bipartisanship that was being pimped today? Maybe just a touch of maturity?
Oh yeah. I forgot.
Grownups were in short supply this time around. Thanks, perpetual adolescents, I hope you’re proud of your display.
A warning to all RINOs.
If you’re going to be castigated for doing the right thing then let it be for doing the right thing all of the time.
With expectations this high, there is bound to be consternation amongst the liberals soon. President Obama won the popular vote by 4 percentage points. He is already thinking about a second term and so I hope he will be pragmatic in his leadership. Rational polciies about ending the Iraq war and detaining battlefield terrorists will enrage the far left who want knee jerk responses. Of course they will still vote for him, but they will be angry if he has centrist policies. That is what I am waiting to see.
Add to that a chunk of voters who realize that hope and change are just slogans and hopefully some of the sheen will come off the Democratic party that in truth caused the subprime lending crisis, housing bubble, and is all about unions, taxes and spending.
The republican party should take a look at California and highlight just exaclty what happens when you let the liberals run the state: A bankrupt state that needs more and more tax revenue to provide les and less services. Where illegal immigration pressurizes all public systems, where infrastructure is crumbling, where schools are failing, and where Democrats have called the legislative shots for decades.
We encourage boorish and juvenile behavior in this country, and it was on full display today. Just remember all that talk of unity goes out the door tomorrow when Conyers and Pelosi go after the outgoing administration with their BS criminal probes. PUMA? Nah, just UMA. The One seems to bring that out in folks.
Exactly. Bush governed every bit the same as any “moderate” liberal would have, and in some ways his socialist ways were more radical that Clinton’s.
Democrat partisanship will be the utter ruination of the country. Our republic is dead, and something insidious has taken its place. Personally, I don’t care if it survives or not.
One of the primary characteristics of the left is projection. One of their defining characteristics is that they are incapable of respect.
Why do you think they worship Obama? Because they don’t know how to have simple respect even for one of their own. They substitute unrestrained emotion instead.
Let me see if I got this straight…
You libs demand that we conservatives give Obama all the respect in the world while for 8 years and still going you libs refuse to give George W. Bush any respect whatsoever.
Give us some good, solid, logical reasons, if you can, WHY we should give Obama the respect that you refused to ever give George W. Bush.
George Bush is going to look pretty damn good after a couple years of Oblamma.
Even Olbermann and Maddow were speechless when Bush was getting booed. Now THAT is saying something.
I’m sure there will be penalties for boo-ing President Obama.
Obama’s America is NOT MY America!
This is an excellent point (bravo!). “Unrestrained emotion” as their inability to understand respect or to behave respectfully is something I have not ever considered, although projecting their own faults and shortcomings onto their adversaries is all too obvious.
The notion that their worship and adoration of Obama is indeed a product of their incapacity to be respectful and disciplined in any meaningful way is something I’d like to examine more fully. I think you are onto something.
And the bleat goes on…
See this at the official White House web site as of today:
President Obama will keep the broken promises made by President Bush to rebuild New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. He and Vice President Biden will take steps to ensure that the federal government will never again allow such catastrophic failures in emergency planning and response to occur.
These people (term used loosely) have no concept of graciousness and respect.
*spit*
I have saved a PDF of the page… you know… “just in case!”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Oh, I am SO stealing that….LOL
If I could turn back the clock a few months, I could wholeheartedly agree with this parting statement from the former president. For over 7 years he did most things right, and history will bear him out. Unfortunately, he did not endure to the end. When he “abandoned free-market principles to save the free-market system”, he not only sold his soul to accommodate the political process, he also sacrificed some very important conservative values I thought he once had.
So, I have to disagree with George Bush. He is not leaving Washington with the same set of values he came with. I have no interest in bringing him up on charges or even booing him for this mistake. I just hope that when he abandoned his free-market principles, he left them someplace in the White House where Obama can find them.
Remember, liberals use emotion to make decisions for them, not logic. Today’s government thrives off of emotion to get what they want enacted. It’s the way all totalitarian governments work…encite the people emotionally to work against any competition.
I saw a bumper sticker today that I loved “I’m Going To Keep My Bible, Guns and Money – You Can Keep The Change“. Also just noticed that GM is crying that they are going to be out of money by March 31st (as predicted – both the crying and running out of money).
Now that the democrats have “their” candidate in the white house (black), I wonder if the congress will turn him into another Andrew Johnson. Since he has no experience really, will they dictate what he will do and say, and try to control him? “You’re in now, so shut up and do what we tell you to do.”
I’m speaking truth to B.H.O you will not kill america cause if you try to. Us bitter clinger will need to vote you out and vote in a adult to clean up your mess.
Those who booed Bush only succeeded in cheapening for all time a historic moment. Like him or not, Obama’s election is a milestone, and the “street” shown in the video laughing and booing Bush have simply spray-painted an f— you on what was otherwise a proud moment in our history.
I didn’t vote for him, and I think the merchandising of Obama crap is shameful, but for better or worse, he was elected, and he is the President, and deserved the respect at his inauguration shown by most. That some of his own would irreparably mar that moment with their childish behavior was a shame.
Like the media created and crowned Al Sharpton as the ambassador of the entire black race, so they created Obama as their personal stake in creating history.
Funny, I thought they were supposed to report it.

I hope no one is under the mistaken impression that just because President Bush is no longer in office, that BDS will cease. Liberals control everything, and history shows that never goes well. Democrats are going to *bleep* this country up — and that requires a scapegoat. They certainly wont accept responsibility.
In the same vein, My son got a random message while on-line on his Xbox last night. The message said that all white people should report to the South for work in the cotton fields. Apparaently on of his freinds also got via a text message on his cell phone, the same message.
I am a firm believer in the axiom ‘what goes around comes around.’
I will be singing that song as each and every msm outlet closes.
Looks like the DJIA had a bought of doubt or dare I say ODDS ‘Obama Democrat Doubt Syndrome’ yesterday.
Hurricane season has been relatively quiet since Katrina. (Galveston not withstanding) but…
I think this year will be quiet too. However, may I make a non-educated prediction of 3 major hurricanes and an earthquake in 2010? I think Bush has something in store for Obama but he doesnt want to waste it on this year.
Yeh, I posted that on here back on about Nov 5th, except the phrasing was ’should report for orientation’.
Don’t forget the nice parting shot on the new white house website.
what a jackass — meant in the truest sense of the word.
Those who booed should have been escorted out of the mall. This is America. . .love it or leave it! Bush was not perfect but he still should be respected!
The inmates are running the Asylum now. Those people and a large group of Sheeple made that happen. Welcome to a “Brave New World”!
Obama Derangement Syndrome kicks into high gear.
All the hate created by BDS will have to go somewhere. Haters don’t stop hating just because the get what they want (or think they want). These haters will be looking for new targets.
The fact of the matter is, the left booed him basically for not having a “D” after his name. The next president will spend, spend, spend, and get away with it also.
However, Bush kept our country safe from terrorism, that we could enjoy our day to day lives without fear. That also includes the insane left – that they could continue their hate campaign without fear.
Obama will not be booed, even when he shreads the constitution.
But the biggest thing that nauseated me all day yesterday was the constant assumption that MLK’s dream has now been fullfilled, just because a black man made it into the White House. Nothing about the content of his character, but rather all about the color of his skin.
If anyone thinks that ODS is in full swing already is in for a very sad and pathetic next 4-years. Please. Give me a freaking break. Yeah, I can’t wait to see all of the lunatics constructing elaborate theories about how Obama causes hurricanes and terrorist strikes on our soil.
Now we will see Obama Derangement Derangement Syndrome (ODDS)! Gotta love that one. More of the same crap. Change I knew would never happen because it’s asinine politics as usual.
Like anyone who disagrees with their beloved messiah. THAT will be the biggest challenge and test of the 1st Amendment.
Anyone care to take a stab at what the future may hold for us?
At what cost? Patriot Act? Illegal wire taps? Invasion of our privacy? Suspension of Habeas Corpus? Torture?
Not worth it.
“As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals.”
-Barak Obama 1/20/09
Based upon what I saw in the last campaign, I would guess that 90% of the boo-ers were in the liberal press (redundancy alert!).
Nah – they’ll be wringing their hands and wetting their panties for years over G.W. – that is until he becomes their hero. When a smoldering crater is found where Cleveland used to be, their defense will be “What about Bush? He did the same thing!”
Those ideals were tried prior to 9/11/01.
Great article by Noel Sheppard over at MRC yesterday:
Will Obama Inauguration End Bush Derangement Syndrome?
He offers historical examples, along with many from the last 8 years, and concludes that BDS could last for literally decades to come…
eaglecrashlanded
Far less in lives than what we got under liberalism.
There was no cost to the Patriot Act – unless you are/were a terrorist.
Are you talking about the enemy communication intercepts? Nothing illeagl there.
Didn’t happen.
Didn’t happen.
Another liberal myth.
The only things “Not worth it” are the liberal fantasies that enabled the terrorists to attack us in the first place.
So tell us, O’ brilliant one, what would have been your response to our national disaster on 9/11?
And how many times has your life been disrupted by the safeguards put in place by the Bush policies? Waited a little longer at the airport?
All for the sake of keeping Democrats in control.
This is a surprise? Of course, the Left cannot even win graciously. Not enough to have a Democrat as President and a Democrat majority in our government; they must continue to attack the previous President who was not even up for reelection and his party.
I am glad that all former Presidents have their own Secret Service detail for the rest of their lives; the way some people are still talking and behaving, there is no telling what might happen without any security.
And, Eagle, how will you feel if Obama does not reverse every one of the policies you mentioned? Will you find some way to spin it so that, even though we’re still doing the exact same thing, it still is NOT the same?
Even in victory liberals are petty and mean. Let’s not be like they are, but let’s be better than they are because we are better.
Trop #45:
“Obama Derangement Syndrome” is another liberal twist on words – like “The People’s Republic of North Korea”. Does anyone really believe that North Korea is a Republic in any sense of the word?
There can be no “Obama Derangement Syndrome” because we don’t have a visceral hate for the man like your side had with GW Bush. Don’t even try to go there.
And so it begins…..

This is not about President Obama; he and his wife have been gracious to Former President and Mrs. Bush. This, as I said, is about people who CANNOT show any class, even in victory.
Another unfortunate side to this is when the MSM looses all credibility and viewership, goes into the red, they will get a bailout and the fairness doctrine reinstituted, all for the sake of restoring journalistic integrity.
Brainwashing 101.
I think the best way to be “better” is to simply ask liberals what they mean by all of The One’s catch phrases.
For example, “we are all responsible individually and collectively.” YAWN!
I would ask, if someone clearly understands the terms of their mortgage knows a propoerty is overinflated, signs a loan document after the mortgager has disclosed everything and the buyer lives a life style that is excessive and cannot pay their loan payment, is the buyer, not the lender RESPONSIBLE?
WATCH THE REACTION!!!
“Well…. well….. that’s not what I meant… blah blah blah.” In the Obama world there is not personal responsibility other than to society as a whole and The State.
Drag the facts out of them and display them for all to see. People like eagelhaslanded may finally see that beyond the rhetoric, reality is VERY different.

I am a free-born American and I will be that until I am a dead American.
I will make my stand where I always have – at my front door.
We will weather the Obama storm and will most likely emerge stronger for it, with maybe a Reagan-like conservative ready to run against him in 12.
I will not lower myself to ODS.
So is it still too early to begin saying “It’s all Obama’s fault” now?
That’s the whole key! They must keep BDS alive in order to continue
stealingwinning elections.No BDS, and they will be forced to look at obama’s antics with scrutiny. Can’t have that!
I’d like to respond to this by quoting a high-ranking member of the Obama administration:
“I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and disagree with this administration, somehow you’re not patriotic. We need to stand up and say we’re Americans, and we have the right to debate and disagree with any administration.”
Reminds me of the movie Mr Smith Goes To Washington. The political bosses needed another stooge to occupy a vacant Senate seat who would shut up and do as he was told. Some things never, ever change. King Solomon was right.
Is it worth your child’s life that a telephone conversation be monitored? How about the discomfort of a terrorist?
That’s the problem with liberals. They value the sensibilities of foreigners more than the lives of their children.
If they allow them to be born in the first place.
Is that eaglehaslanded I hear saying the gitmo terrorists should be held in his state???
I think so.

Guess you don’t read the posts on this website. You accuse liberals of BDS because they boo Bush. But posters here routinely wish and I might add on occasion say they pray for death to the Obamas. So tell me, which is worse?
les: Liberals did the same, except on a much larger scale from the second bush got in. Is that an excuse? No. Do I want obama dead? No. But I want him impeached today.

—————————————
Generalization. Are there some posts that are out of line on both sides? Yes. Do posters here “routinely” wish for harm to come to the Obamas? That’s going a bit far.
True. However the MSM, which completely ignored BDS or presented it as patriotic dissent by ordinary citizens, will pick up on the expression and start doing stories on it. Watch for investgative journalism to finally kick in as right wing blogs and talk radio are highlighted as hate sites and much discussion is devoted to the sanity of the participants. Obama Derangment Syndrome (unlike BDS) will be a household expression within one year. Count on it.
Fairness doctrine.
I’m sure Obama thinks it’s worth it. Or are you under the illusion that he’s going to significantly scale back any of the activities which you falsely labeled above?
The pissy thing is that even if Obama doesn’t change a single policy, nobody will consider it illegal, torture, suspension of due process, etc.
Don’t forget racism charged against anyone who disagrees.
First of all that’s not even an exaggeration, it’s a flat out lie. I’m on this site regularly and I can’t recall seeing any calls for Obama’s death, much less “routine” postings like that.
But even if you were right, and let’s say a dozen commenters here routinely wished the Obamas dead, that couldn’t begin to compare to the truly routine, truly nauseating and deeply sincere wishes for Bush, McCain, Palin, Cheney etc. to die. Michelle has an entire category here titled “assassination chic”, you should check it out sometime.
Since we are on the topic of BDS, did anyone else notice that every president has had their homecomings reported by the MSM except by President Bush 43rd.
The only media outlet that reported on Bush’s homecoming was FNC. It was conviently ignored by ABC, CBS, NBC, MSMBC and CNN.
I agree with that there are extremists on both sides of the policitcal spectrum, but conservatives routinely denounce members of their own view.
However, we do not wish harm to come to liberals (see some of MM photos of Bush “assination art” in past articles), but this is normal for the average liberal as evidenced by the posts on the daily kos and etc…
I’ll pray for my president, but will treat the man’s policies with a health dose of skeptisim since its patriotic to dissent those you disagree with you.

“This is Sparta!”
Let’s also not forget Hollywierd’s infamous “Death Of A President”.
Libs have scrambled eggs for brains, and that’s putting it mildly.
i wonder if the obama administration found the computer keyboards superglued and the door locks destroyed and the china and silverware stolen as the bush administration did when taking over from the last batch of a-hole liberal children.
How could they peel away and report that when their noses were lodged where they were lodged?
Want respect, show respect. Where’s your love for Carter? As a reminder, some of his accomplishments:
* Brokered an Israel/Arab treaty, something no Republican President has managed to do.
* Began the “tough love” policy — Volker — that finally conquered stagflation.
* The first President to make human rights a foreign policy principle.
