George Bush claimed that the nation is warming to him again because the animosity of the crowds have simmered down lately. However, there was quite an anomaly in Bush's observations, because the crowd at Monticello to hear him speak could barely make out what he said over all the protesting.
From RawStory:
According to news accounts, "shouts from protesters were heard during Bush's remarks," while a transcript notes repeated occurrences all through the speech of "Audience disturbance," "Audience interruption," and "Audience interruption continues."
"Protesters made it hard to hear President Bush Friday," Fox News reported.
According to Virginia's News Leader, "Lee Catlin, community relations director for the Albemarle County, said six protesters were asked to leave the ceremony," but none were arrested.
The paper reported, "A Monticello spokesperson said that protesters were allowed to express their views unless they blocked views or passageways. He said that Monticello has no plans at this time to press charges against the six who were removed from the museum grounds."
The officials at Monticello know better than to press charges against those that honor the Constitution by protesting, unlike those that are paid to protect George Bush's bubble. By showing up, he ruined the day for those that took the oath of citizenship on this symbolic day. The price he paid for that is far less than he deserves for all his war crimes, but the fact that Swanson and others helped to burst that bubble helps put a smile on this liberal's face.
