Hard Observation on Todays Inauguration lacked Applause
HARD OBSERVATION: President Bush received a very Lack Luster applause from the audience that stood before him during today's Presidential Inauguration. Comparing today's applause from a crowd of Bush Supporters celebrating the beginning of his second term to that of the crowds who cheered and applauded him during his
re-election campaign leading to the November 2nd Elections, it gives credence to suspicions that the Bush Re-Election campaign had bussed in Professional Cheerleading Crowds and Strategically placed them in front of George Bush during his Campaign Stops, giving a False Impression of 'Great Acceptance'

Thats my observation of today, I posted that as soon as Bush's Speech was done. Did anyone else notice this? Did anyone notice how when Bush took a pause or two, there was that 'Lack' of screaming applause he was used to getting during his re-election campaign stops across selected arena's in America?

That is my review of todays speech delivered by Bush.

1. Lackluster applause in the cleansed areas, loud boos everywhere else
Most of the parade route was loudly dominated by booing.

2. Crowd microphones were probably turned WAY down
To drown out the "F*** Bush!" chants.

3. But they weren't entirely successful
Listen to this clip from CNN, about two thirds of the way through the clip you can distinctly hear someone yelling "Fuck Bush" in the background, and several times too, not just once.

5. Thanks for the Post - This is Hilarious
I wonder if Fox News had any incidents like this today.

I didn't spend that much time today paying attention to the ceremonies, I had some running around to do this afternoon and only caught some broadcasts of Air America after Bush's Speech.

4. Some folks said the cheers drowned the boos at the end of his speech.
So, which was it? More boos than cheers or vice versa?

I have trouble trusting what the MSM displays because they only make news, not report it. Does anyone who was there got a take on the event?

How I dream, hope and wish that the protests destroyed the festivities. I imagine Smirky the Chimp riding down the street in his limo, getting pelted with rotten eggs--plus crowds of people mooning him and waving signs that say "Impeach the Bastard!"

Oh, please, please, please say it was so!
