Hawk, 41, skated in the grand foyer and the nearby Old Executive Office Building, with the permission of White House officials.

Oh, this is bloody brilliant. And next week, we’ll have a graffiti artist come and display his edgy self-expression thing.

When will this nightmare end???????????

Somebody wake me up, please?

The headline would be.

DURING TRYING ECONOMIC TIMES BUSH DEFILES THE WHITE HOUSE AS SOLDIERS CONTINUE TO DIE IN IRAQ ON FATHERS DAY.

Well thats a rather large headline....

but PRAVDA would figure out a way to make it fit.

I would bet he can still show you the proper routine for saying his Muslim prayers, also.

No need to bet or speculate. It's already documented... by the New York Times no less. Another little gem that went under-reported before November as the masses were falling into orgasmic adoration of this empty suit.

Kristof in the NYT

I quote:

"Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it’ll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as one of the 'prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset'."

Click here for a photo of Hawk skateboarding down a hallway. I'm no expert on the WH layout, but it doesn't seem to be one of the fanciest areas; looks more like the basement. Anyway, decide for yourself.

“...I’m sure as a youngster, Obummer didn’t learn American history while going to Muslin schools overseas. Maybe this is just another small example of why we don’t allow foreign born citizens to be president.
He did show his upbringing when he bowed to the Saudi king, tho. I would bet he can still show you the proper routine for saying his Muslim prayers, also.
The more I see of this man, the more I believe that he is not fit to be president.....”

His being raised in a somewhat dysfunctional situation (no long term father, identity confusion, frequent uprooting, etc ) no doubt account for his manifold ignorance of grace, gratitude and virtue in public: he never learned proper manners.

Great movie. It’s in my DVD library. Hilarious in a very depressing sort of way.

"Obama should have a professional wrestling match at the White House."

Only if The Undertaker is the feature. I'd pay big time to see The Deadman give Zero a Tombstone Piledriver.

Iran screams for freedom and The ‘Bamster is busy with more important things like Tony Hawk skateboarding down the halls of The White House.

The pressure The Bush Adminsitration put on Iran to fall from within using the dual front pincer of Afghanistan and Iraq comes to fruition only to get frittered away by this tyrnat and puerile nonsense... again.

It is now official, this administration IS Carter Part II.

Obama has turned this country into the Titanic.

He's turned the country into MTV.

Bill Clinton started it, but was too much of a puffy white dork to have real street cred.

How long before Tila Tequila entertains a "date" in the Lincoln Bedroom?

The article says "in the grand foyer and the nearby Old Executive Office Building..." I'm guessing this photo is in the Old Executive Office Building...? Guess I'd have to see a photo of the grand foyer.
