Jesus **** man it's not like they pelted him with shoes. Publicly and nonviolently expressing dissatisfaction with the President is reasonable discourse. Is it "classy"? Maybe not. But it's definitely not unreasonable or unexpected for a guy with the lowest public opinion polls since Nixon.

The problem with that idea is that the point of Bush being there wasn't a "Bush leaving office" ceremony. It was a "Obama sworn in" ceremony. Their focus shouldn't have been so negative... in fact, they should have been expressing glee at the idea of him being out of office if they hate him so much.

All things aside, yes, freedom to express one's self is a great thing, but that doesn't mean one still cannot be prone to expressing one's self immaturely. I don't think anyone is saying that they shouldn't be free to do what they did, just that they should have known better than to do what they did.
