16. Remember in 2000
when George and Laura tried to walk the last few blocks, but had to jump back in because the crowd was so hostile?

They then literally raced the last leg to the WH.

29. The "announcers"...
They had "announcers" every few blocks... they sucked terribly! They were to give running commentary on the parade, civilian and military info.

Before the parade began, the announcers were highly annoying, to attendees and cops alike. They were conducting "presidential trivia" over the loudspeakers. No kidding, one of the early questions was, "Who is the only president to not be elected into office?" To which a majority of the crowd immediately shouted, "BUSH!" This was met with a wry chuckle from the announcer.

Anyhow, as the motorcade continued down Pennsylvania Ave., he was trying to amp the crowd. "They're three blocks away, and I want THIS BLOCK to be the loudest cheering section!" I'm hopeful, from where I stood, that we were the loudest jeering section. The repubs nearby were completely drowned out; their pitiful crys were indescirnible.

28. Prior to the the motorcade...
and while the stormtroopers took their positions along the street, DC police announced via bullhorn something along the lines of: "We have established this police line. Anyone who crosses this police line WILL be arrested. This is your warning. Anyone who crosses this police line WILL be arrested."

12. The thing that bothers me more than anything
Is that he DOES NOT CARE!

He could care less how wrong he is and how much he is hated!

15. He doesn't care because he thinks he has the whole thing
bagged! I'm sure that's what Rover and Co. are telling him -- you are the champ, Sir, you da man, you a real hero, man - the people just luv ya, Sir - you look so authoritative in that uniform -- you are God's envoy, Sir -- God is speaking through you, Sir. You're going to bring freedom to the world -- you'll go down in history as America's savior, on and on bullshit, bullshit. But, he's so dumb and manipulatable, he actually believes it and so do his wife and daughters. They WANT to believe it -- they are the beautiful people -- the ones we worship and crave to see, etc., etc., ad nauseum. Sometimes I just stare in amazement because they are just as DUPED as the ones screaming "four more years" last year in New York.

20. Of course, all you say is absolutely true
But that doesn't make it any less tragic that the president of the US doesn't know ALL BY HIMSELF that MURDER and THEFT ARE WRONG. That anyone around him can easily convince him otherwise is deeply depressing.

13. I miss the 70 pounds or so of garbage
that were heaved at Bush's vehicle in 2000.

D'ya think C-Span will rebroadcast that this weekend? I wish I'd taped it then, it was real Democracy in action. Bush's Nazi-mobile (heavily & newly armored) was covered in trash.

23. It was in the year 2000 that the eggs were hurled.
It did not happen this year. It did not happen today.

The spectators are too far away this year, and there are many more cops.

Even my cousin from Chicago was pulled in! Cops brought in from as far away as Chicago, do you REALLY think this display cost only 40 million bucks?
