Actually another disaster possibly begins.

Final Bush approval rating 21%.
Final Obama approval rating 61%.
Incoming President elect Trump 40%.

Yes, we are all fortunate, Trump could be an improvement over Bush thanks to Putin.

So Bush tax breaks with borrowed money should have won him plaudits, not only free but OPM.

I agree and am grateful they have that right, but it is childish of them to do so - as representatives of the government they should put attendance to respect the peaceful transfer of power ahead of their disagreement. Being on hand for the inauguration salutes the process, not the President.

We all have rights to do a lot of things we do not because common sense and decorum would render them selfish, petty, and to no good end.

I am not a bit sure that any good end will be served by offering the new POTUS the 'legitimacy' of the respect you counsel.

President Obama, real class to the end, models the decorum you value so highly here. Michelle, however, was not putting up any fronts....

I love the look on her face. If it was any different I would be concerned.

If they believe for good reason he is not legitimate, they can gather the evidence and move forward. If there is none, I would expect them to get to work doing what we pay them for.

Birthers against Obama.
"The Russians are Coming" against Trump.

It's embarrassing. We are giving Italian politics a run for their money.

I'm afraid the evidence you request may or may not ever surface. It's Trump's Justice Dept, etc, now.

We agree about the embarrassing part, but there's a lot of things I'd put higher on the embarrassing list than 'lack of support for inauguration ceremony.'
