Tony Hawk does great things with a skateboard but I am not getting this stunt.
It’s just one more slap in the face by Obama towards all Americans.
He thinks of The White House as his House, not the People’s House.
Un-fricking-real. It’s the White House dude, you don’t go skateboading in the White House! What has this country headed?
“...He thinks of The White House as his House, not the People’s House.”
Do you really think he would allow this in his own house?
Would you?
Do you really think he would allow this in his own house?Would you?
I think Obama would allow it in his house for the publicity.
it is a finger in the eye of every American that believes that The White House is avery special place with a rich AMERICAN history.
Obama is doing this as part of a planned assault on Americanism.
Is this one of those puzzles where I’m supposed to spot the differences between the two pictures?
Okay, there’s a cloud in the first picture, but not the second. No wait, that’s dust on my screen. Gimme a minute.
So when does the half-pipe go in on the White House lawn?
Old Executive Office Building=new Disneyland thanks obama not.
Get that %^@$%@ing skateboard out of my house.
Yeah the WH is “cool” now instead of respected. Where’s the pic of the b**ches jumping on the Lincoln bed? It should be right next to Tony Hawk.
Why would he want proof that he has no respect for our country?
W would probably say “Cool”. No one cares anymore after what Clinton did to the place.
If you think of it Theodore Roosevelt had horses in the White House for his kids.
Great, Now we get Travis to back flip the Oval Office and Obama can practice his Base jumping
W didn’t disrespect the WH. Dems do it regularly.
Nothing this distasteful big eared communist does would surprise me any more. I'll be shocked if a South Pacific witch doctor dosen’t give the benediction at next state of the union.
I thought things were as bad as they could possibly get when I saw the pic of the women jumping on the bed in the Lincoln Bedroom under the Clinton administration, but I do believe this tops it. This fool is 41 years old! He should be embarrassed at not having a real job and being a productive member of society. What hope is there for our country if this is the kind of person the young admire and emulate?
When I was a child. I wanted to be a policeman or a astronaut. The youth today especially the boys are being dumned down and feminized. Progerssives/liberals want tiny versions of themselves. Feminine, easily frightened helpless emasculated princesses. So the population will have the inhearent will to resist bread right out of them.
I have said for a long time that a reckoning is coming. And I pray it happens before I get to old to pull a trigger.
I find it simply intolerable that a Senator insults a general, by being a feminist bitch, the president demeans The White House and then demands you respect him as a royal while he constantly poses like Mussalini.
Decadent,simply decadent.
I imagine there will be bottle rocket wars through the hallways on July 4th.
I cant wait for the 80 foot Kwanzaa bush on the South lawn this Holiday season. (had to stop myself from typing the un-pc “C” word)
CHILDREN are in charge pof the White House....CHILDREN!
LOL
I don’t care who this jerk is, this is one disrespectful stunt. This grown man thinks he is someone special who can do childish stunts in the hollowed halls of the White House complex. This administration is disgusting.
Gee I don’t know Joe? If you would ask him he would probably try to say he loves his country very much.
Yes, you are correct. Roosevelt's children literally had a horsein the White House.
One of Roosevelt's sons brought their pony up in the elevator to visit another son who was ill. That same son once dumped snakes on the President's desk during a meeting.
Jefferson has a mockingbird that he allowed to fly freely around the White House interior, which I'm sure was lovely.
And for the love of Mike, if a skater on hard tile gets people upset, they shouldn't even think about what happened when Andrew Jackson was inaugurated.
Some things are not worth the effort to work up a snit over. This is one of those.
Last time they were in charge it was this:
That is the Bed in the Lincoln Bedroom
LOLOL!
or you can say the “bamster” has a pet skateboarder or since he thinking he’s the king maybe it’s his jokester
