Amazing, the things that go on when people turn out to see the Presidential motorcade…
Sean had to go back to work (he snuck out to join in the fun), so we drove him back to my place where his car was, then me, Adam, and Brendan went to another spot along the highway that we had spied earlier. A friendly Kerry supporter named Mr. Shenk let us use his front yard to display our banners. Now comes the good part. After waiting around for about 45 minutes, the motorcade passed by us again. A few police cars, followed by a van or two, drove by. Then, a Bush/Cheney bus passed, followed by a second one going slower. At the front of this second bus was The W himself, waving cheerily at his supporters on the other side of the highway. Adam, Brendan, and I rose our banner (the More Trees, Less Bush one) and he turned to wave to our side of the road. His smile faded, and he raised his left arm in our direction. And then, George W. Bush, the 43rd president of the United States of America, extended his middle finger.
Read that last sentence again. I got flipped off by George W. Bush. A ponytailed man standing next to us confirmed the event, saying, “I do believe the President of the U.S. just gave you boys the finger.”

Well I had no doubt what he thought but the fact that he would be silly enough to publicly display it amazes me. I just hope someone in the press got a good photo
yeah what a bs story.. we already know u hate bush.. how much bush bashing u got to do?
First the VP with the F word now the president with the finger. Ahhhhh, bring on the debates.
BTW, is it bad when C-Span shows a Klan rally? Oh, sorry it’s the “Alliance for Marriage.”
Really, I don’t get it, why do so many people rally around denying people basic rights? If they say it’s religious, ok, it can’t be added to constitution or laws regarding it due to separation of church and state. Is it purely legal? Ok, then doesn’t everyone deserve the same rights?
One more thing, member of Alliance for Marriage just brought up the Ten Commandments. Last time I checked didn’t it say don’t kill people? Yet, no outrage against the USA going to war.
The country is split on hatred. Someone, save us.
Enough that if it bothers you all that much, you might want to read another website.
In Soviet Russia, Presidents Bird Flips You! … Sorry Not Soviet Russia, Oligarchic America!
To inflame the troll: As soon as describing events which have transpired becomes “bashing” then all we’re in one hell of a situation. I mean, I’d be “bashing” my best friends on a regular basis. I’d be “bashing” Gateway on a regular basis. (Oh, wait, I already am!) You’re wrong in calling it “bashing.” Maybe a little “lopsided” as I am sure Bush has given hugs to people, but does giving hugs to people really warrant a story? We want to know what he’s done that could be considered offensive; most of us understand he can be nice (even if it is a facade).
