So, to me this admin. is doing nothing the others did not do. That speaks nothing to whether I, you, or anyone is correct in thinking it is in bad taste. I am just saying that if you think it is in bad taste for the reason that such a show is awful when people are dying for our country -- then you have to hate them all because they all did the same thing.

Interestingly, the WH always does the best when entertaining and decorating. So, why should this be any different

I think in the end, people just hate this because Bush is doing it.

..or in the end..he is just hated..period!
