This is an historic day, regardless of who placed their hand on the bible and swore an oath. Today starts a new era, whether for good or bad, and that makes it historic. President Bush, and President Obama ARE my president, and as such I owe them respect and allegiance, no matter what I feel about them personally. If I can't respect the office, what right do I have to thrive in this republic?

I have been watching the whole thing since 10:00 am this morning. No one comments on the booing on nbc.

CJ, your post is political. You cannot possibly rationalize that.
Guys, you can bat it around and look stupid until Rod chews you all out, or you can just drop it now. C'mon folks. Even if you didn't start it, you should not post in a political thread.

That is EXACTLY what I thought. The roads were empty. All our "information panels" at work had the inauguration on and people were huddled around them for hours.
If you count the $170M for the ceremony and the COUNTLESS work lost from people either calling in sick/vacation or just watching it online we lost a ton of money. I'm all for giving respect to the position and I'm not griping I'm just pointing out any interesting parallel to the fact that we have suck a bad economy... Or so I have been told.
EDIT to say, I apologize now, I agree with Null and shouldn't even have posted on a thread that most like will go nuclear(political). Sorry folks.
Classless. That's the only word that comes to mind when hearing your story and hearing the chants that came through on TV. No matter what you think of any of our Presidents, you show respect. The office of the President is bigger than a single person or party and it is extremely disrespectful to not treat the person in office, or a former President, with anything less than respect. I for one would never want to handle the decisions Presidents make day in and day out.
Ironic, and disappointing, that President Obama's message today about working together and engaging in respectful discussion fell on so many deaf ears.

Yeah, too late.
My GOD! What assholes! I wish I could take some satisfaction in knowing Karma will take care of it. Those booing, not you guys. Except maybe Robbie and Matt.

Not only appropriate but one of my absolute favorites.

For once, knowledge is making me poor!
Yep, and not only will it likely turn political but it has already been insinuated that a newbies belief is not welcome here, so it may crash and burn in more ways than one.

Respect is earned. Its not an automatic thing. I don't have respect for Bush Jr and I have none for Obama either. Mabye Obama can earn it from me. Sofar though i don't see it happening

To err is human, to smoke, divine.
I'm pretty sure the office of the Presidency must be earned. Once a man has earned that office in the USA, he has my respect.

Where did all my money go?
I think he meant more along the lines of people treating others with respect. Something that should be a given.
Not the "I command you to respect me" thing.
Closing thread before it goes awry.
