Goodbye, Little Lord Pissypants.

I may not (in all honesty...I will probably not) get to see President Obama. But I will probably get to see that.

:bounce: :patriot:

1. I will be glued to the TV screen
after the inauguration to see just that event.

I'll be singing him out of office: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwnqqj5Q1BU

6. Of what...?
The backs of 3,999,999 heads? :rofl:

I doubt I will SEE much of ANYTHING.

But I feel the NEED to be there.

I've been there for a few major war protests. I NEED to be there for this.

My kids are both pretty much insisting we ALL go for this. They are 18 and 21 now. They were young teens when this shit all started and we've done War Protests together since that time. I guess we are going to see this son of a bitch out together.

15. I live here
Fifteen minutes from the White House.

The latest estimate is that they're expecting between 3 and 4 million people.

I can't figure out where they're going to stand, let alone bunk down.

But the bars will be open 24 hours a day starting on the 17th. That's going to help things a lot, I suspect.

I'll be happy watching it all on TV. I simply don't understand the people who want to be there, but I applaud y'all and wish you well.

It's going to be insane. And gorgeous.

5. My bet is he leaves a couple of days early and you won't hear a word from him
Gone, like a fart in the wind ...

29. Look at how much he cares about the Constitution. Think he cares about some tradition?
I agree with ThomWV ... depending on how things look closer to the 20th, he might skip town early, with some excuse as to why.

9. Move On should hold a rally party within sight of the plane
And have everyone screaming obscenities at him as he goes from car to plane. BIG signs telling him off. People with MEGAPHONES hissing at him as he goes.

And another crowd nearby, making the shape of a huge hand with the middle finger thrust in the air with BUSH written in from of the hand.

12. Marine One is the Helicopter that takes off from the White House Lawn.
I think it may be met with many moons.

If you know what I mean.

18. The plane is at Andrews Air Force Base,
which is over in Maryland. You can't even see it from anywhere that civilians are allowed.

So, all the screaming and gesturing will be wasted. Plus, you'll be stuck in a podunk Maryland neighborhood.

10. Would be great if people who live in the path that Marine 1 takes
painted their sentiments about him on an old sheet and put it on their rooftops.

19. He's President until Obama is sworn in,
and that doesn't take place until Fuckface is aboard his flight to Texas.

Timing.

It's everything, really.

14. I'd rather see him boarding an overcrowded Greyhound bus.
He shouldn't be afforded the honor of a military flight.

Screw him.

Those people are already suffering enough.

16. Could *e Get Together?
*ould it be possible for a large group of us to get together some place near the *hite House?

*e could all sing that song, "Na Na Na Na Na Na Hey Hey GOODBYE!"

That *ould be so s*eet!

Note: In protest of the continuing occupation of OUR *hite House by the illegal and totally corrupt Bush/Cheney regime of thugs and cronies, I REFUSE to use the letter bet*een "V" and "X", and I urge you to do the same.

the Marine Band will play "Hail to the Thief" for him one last time.

20. SwampRat or another PhotoShop whiz needed
to depict the Chimp giving a final Nixonian wave in front of a garbage truck instead of Marine 1.

22. The smell of * could somersault a buzzard backward off a garbage truck from 50 yards away.
GOODBYE CHIMP!

24. Right after the swearing in I'd like to see the secret Service put
both bu$h & Cheney in chains and turn them in to a waiting World court for their War Crimes. That would send a clear signal to the rest of the criminals that they are also on the list.

I know it won't happen, but it is a nice fantasy.

28. I'd like to work with ya on this but...
In this case I think It's best to use the legal system. Stare the proper people down. Suggest it would be best for all concerned if maybe they earn their civil service pay for a change and actually do the job they were hired to do and enforce the law.
