[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 986679, member: 12570"] I'm sorry but I strongly disagree--the White House is the symbol of America and giving the finger to a portrait of a former President is absolutely disgraceful. Do or say what you want anywhere else but when you are in the White House you need to show respect. Why do you think Tim Thomas chose not to join the rest of the Boston Bruins when they went to visit the WH after they won the Stanley Cup a few years ago? His political beliefs differed from those of the President and rather than disrespect either the President or the WH he chose not to participate. Was this in essence his way of giving the middle finger? Perhaps but he did so without stepping foot in DC. When you are a guest in someone's home you need to respect both the occupants and their home. [/QUOTE]
