When Bush comes on the platform on 1/20 to the final rendition of Hail to the Chief for him

[book_worm]

what kind of reception will he get from the crowd?

[ThomWV]

1. Will he even be there?

[glowing]

3. He's supposed to.

4. Of course it's traditional that the outgoing president ride with the incoming to the capitol

and then attend the inaugural. On a couple of instances in history it didn't happen but in modern times it has always been this way.

5. Did Truman do it with Eisenhower?

I understand they even refused to greet each other at the White House.

9. Ike came to the WH to pick up Truman but refused to get out of the car to go in for coffee

and greet the Truman's. Truman had to come out and get in the car. But HST did attend the inaugural.

2. Hopefully, one long boo.

6. Shoes

7. They will sing.

Goodbye, you turd,
We thank God that you are leaving.
With these few words,
We tell you, go fuck yourself, you bastard.

Though we have wept,
Today's a day of celebration,
For now you have left,
And you can no more destroy the nation!

[Jeanette in FL]

8. "Na, na, na, na, Na, na na na, hey, hey, Goodbye"

"Na, na, na, na, Na, na na na, hey, hey, Goodbye"
"Na, na, na, na, Na, na na na, hey, hey, Goodbye"
"Na, na, na, na, Na, na na na, hey, hey, Goodbye"
"Na, na, na, na, Na, na na na, hey, hey, Goodbye"

I would love that to be chanted so loud from the crowd that he hears it.

10. I hope they don't boo....Though some shoe hurlin' would be nice..

:evilgrin:

11. I hope the volume for his "Hail" is half

of the volume the band plays for Obama. And maybe a little on the flat side for *.
