Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye

evenkat

Anyone else hear the crowd signing 'Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye' to Bush while he was flying over the crowd in the helicopter on this way back to Texas?

are you serious?
if so...wow.....fantastic. haha. bit in poor taste really, i give obama credit for being very gracious towards bush, but yea....the sentiment is very accurate.


once obama's speech was done, we all went back to our cubes. :P

justam

I heard that too.

I couldn't help but wonder what Bush thought when he noticed the difference between this day and his day.

Got to give Obama credit... it's not easy to be gracious and respectful when your speech essentially has to be about how the last guy really fucked everything up and you're going to try to fix it... but he managed

agreed. not easy, but he did pull it off....and then sure, went into abit of all the fucked up things and how collectively we need to work and fix it. i see a lot of people rather 'eh' about his speech. i thought it was really strong and good. maybe not as emotional/inspirational as others in the past....but i thought it really was on traget and well done for the day, and to put in people's minds what he wants to start. a HAPPY day indeed!

in poor taste? Sometimes it's the only time people can get to have their opinions HEARD is at a public event of some kind. I think it was brilliant!.. and very very tastefully done. The man's a mass murderer on Ghengis Khan scale so I think he got away lightly to be very honest. I think it would be fantastic if Obama held him accountable... but obviously doubtful.

I didn't notice the crowd, but I do know that watching him leave for good was the best part of the inauguration.

yeah tom should have said "speech read to him" :P

that's hallarious... sad we'll never see him make a fool of himself again while addressing the nation... don't think we'll see that with obama (hopefully).

I agree but that wasn't the time for that. Maybe I'm old fashion but he's still the president and show some respect hate him or not. Anyway he's gone and time for the next guy to jump into fire. Good luck Obama.

I've said it in other threads but... professions do NOT earn you respect. YOU earn respect. The man is a mass murderer... and he got away with a song... he should be relieved.

True... but that's nothing to do with him... certainly the opposite. BECAUSE of bush, I can guarantee you that 'terror cells' are building up around the world and there is a HUGE anti american feeling in certain countries. You think this is over just cos bush is gone? Nope there's a LOT of work to be done yet to make the world safe... not just america.

Yup and there were groups that hated us b4 Bush became president. Always have and always will.

actually, i think it's respect for the whole process; the inauguration itself, the office of the presidency. obama acted with total class. i have zero respect for bush, but i have respect for the presidency. i also don't have a problem with people doing so, tis their own perogative of course...and sure, it made me laugh...but yea, i do agree....not very classy. differing perspectives and all that. c'est la vie.


it's just like before the elctions when palin was trying to rally people against obama and people called out horrific things, etc, mccain was totally against it and it seemed, rather shocked at times.


anyhoo...done with bush, so it's all good!

Of course a politician should be disgusted by acts like that... if they wanna get votes. However I do think that McCain ran and lost his campaign with the utmost of grace and deserves some respect for that. BUSH however................................................................................. :shock: actually I'm trying to think of ONE thing... JUST one thing... he's done that deserves my respect and all I can think of is 'na na na na, na na na na, hey hey-eh, goodbye'. I thought that was extremely classy in comparison to giving the man what he really deserves

did you read my quote? :?
i said i have zero respect for bush, the man. i have respect for the office of the presidency, and i have respect for the entire process, the inauguration, etc. i personally believe it was in poor taste...accurate in it's sentiment and kinda funny, but sure...poor taste. again, different perspectives. cool you see it one way, and i another. and while i think he is a reprehensible person, i also do not hold him soley responsible for it all either....he certainly did not act alone, and hell, the majority of americans voted him back in office! we as a country all shoulder blame.

He's the man paid to act and TAKE the blame. He was supposed to do everything in the best interest of the country... he did nothing. He was basically born with a silver spoon and has had everything his own way so I have no sympathy for someone like that when their failures get reflected back at them. I believe in karma... and if this is all karma has to offer bush, well I dunno if I believe in it anymore. Do you seriously think this song was in poor taste? Like I said... those people singing... could well be the worst effected by his reign and could have personally lost plenty... and considering the demographics of the crowd I'd say this is well true. So those people certainly have a right to sing without being told it's in poor taste :?

i know full well bush's history, and his policies, his lack of action, his poor choices for us all. none of this have i disagreed with. nor did i say he deserves respect. i've made my point pretty clear a few times now.

and i never once said that they did not have the *right* to sing and do as they did.....and it is certainly my right to believe it's in poor taste. i honestly don't understnad why you seem to have a problem with it? :? i don't take issue with you agreeing...i just see it differently. i said in my first post 'wow...that's fantastic! bit in poor taste' or soemthing to that effect. so sure, they can sing...and i can say it's in poor taste...and i don't think any of us will lose sleep over it. :P i personally do not think it was appropriate at the inaugural ceremony. tis my opinion to have and certainly don't expect any to agree, makes no difference. discussing the topic, it's not 'personal'...and i doubt anyone in the crowd could give a shit if i thought it in poor taste, unclassy, or whatever.....

I don't have a problem with it... I just fail to understand how it's in poor taste or unclassy... and I probably never will.

well that i can appreicate. i may not 'understand' that...but i can appreciate that pov. and that's all i ask of my own views as well. obviously we all see the world through very different filters, and all based on our own views and experiences, etc....which naturally colors our views in a myriad different ways. i probably will never understand a lot of differnt things about people, their views, what goes on in the world, etc...and so it goes....
