Na Na Na Na,
Na Na Na Na,
Hey hey hey,
Goodbye.

These lyrics to this 60s era song were used by the crowd at the Obama inauguration to serenade former President Bush as he came down to his seat to watch the swearing in of our 44th President, Barack Hussein Obama.

This kind of disrespect almost makes me ashamed to be an American. We didn't see this kind of rudeness when President Clinton left office, and of course, there were all sorts of people who were political enemies of both Bill and his wife. I got to see the first inaugaration of President George W. Bush, and the former President was treated with the respect he deserved.

One wonders if President Bush could see the placards that were in the crowd...the ones that called for him to be arrested.

Prehaps I should not be surprised. A new internet video for Momlogic.com uses a two-year old as a pawn in an anti-Bush video. These are the same people who voted for Obama simply because of "hope" and "change", people who couldn't even name the person he was running against. Yet these same vacuous people have the unmitigated gall to treat President Bush worse than dirt.

These people forget that President Bush never walked into the Oval Office searching for a controversy. They forget that we were attacked in Spetember of 2001 and nearly 3000 people were killed. They forget that we liberated two countries and 50 million people. People can disagree with President Bush, even on some of these things, but up until now, these disagreements have general been civil.

However, people with Bush Derangement Syndrome are not about civility, they are about twisting the dagger just a little bit more... The problem these people are going to have is that they will only be able to complain, whine, and moan about President Bush for about a week before he fades from the scene, and people won't be able to blame him for very much. Certainly the psychos who are on the extreme Left will continue to be around for as long as they have things to hate.

The rest of us will move on.

Look, I don't agree with Presint Obama's politics or policies, and I believe that the country will be worse off in 2012, when Obama runs for re-election. However, I also don't want the country to fall completely apart in the next four years, and President Obama should be given the respect that is due to anyone who occupies the Oval Office.
