On inauguration day some will protest by throwing shoes at the White House. I gather they will have borrowed or stolen the shoes.
Bashers End Bush Era Deflated by Lack of Prosecutions
Bush bashers say they aren't going to let the inauguration of Barack Obama get in the way of their effort to have the president prosecuted on war crimes.
For some die-hards, Tuesday is not a day to hail the arrival of Obama or celebrate Bush's exit.
"I'm not holding out great hopes that he's [Obama] going to change things around," said Laurie Dobson of Kennebunkport, Maine.
Dobson, who unsuccessfully ran as an independent against Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, in 2008, has protested Bush's policies almost from the beginning of his administration. She warned that pressure has to be kept on Obama to take action against the nation's 43rd president.
"People give [Obama] all kinds of excuses because they want so much to believe in him," she said. "That's how they make a tyrant. ... If we do our job as [citizens] then he could be a good president. It all depends on us keeping him in line."
Harold Burbank, an attorney from Canton, Conn., said, "Tuesday is not a day to celebrate."
Obama must be greatly relieved that Ms. Dobson is on the job keeping him in line.
