At my local post office, the people in line demanded the portrait of Bush be taken down

[IndianaGreen]

According to my neighbor who was at the post office yesterday around lunch time, he said that people demanded the portrait be taken down. They had to get a supervisor to do it since the clerks were pretty busy.

How about your post office or federal building? I've heard they don't have any Obama official portraits yet.

2. I'll go in to mine near my work and check. If it's there, I'll raise holy what-for!

As only I can do.

6. I took the official portraits of Bush and Cheney down about an hour before

the proper time. Nobody complained.

9. There were no pictures of bush around

my town. There was one in the library around 2001 but one of the Librarians took it down not too long later.

Thankfully, cause I use to go into the library and make sure I didn't look at the part of that wall.

Just move it over to where they post all the "wanted" posters.

15. I feel the need to buy stamps.

From every post office in town. Gawd what a great idea.

21. Our local post office used to have the poster for the movie

The Postman on the wall. I was disappointed when they took it down. Great David Brin story.

[asdjrocky]

23. So you're the other person that liked it!

[Norrin Radd]

24. Lots of people liked that book

[pop goes the weasel]

16. they should have just moved Bush's portrait

over to the wall with the other criminals.

[Froward69]

18. I will check...

[Hieronymus]

19. The replacement should be quick .. Obama's is the first digital ..

presidential portrait.

20. Hard to believe he's finally GONE.

I never could accept him in that job (that he stole from Al Gore).

22. Still fighting the solitary good fight. Nothing will change here.

25. If the Post Office wasn't so damned stuffy about their no-darts rule, this wouldn't be an issue.

:evilgrin:

[RepublicanElephant]

26. maybe they could deliver those portraits to the local republican party office...

...if they'll accept them.

[DeschutesRiver]

27. I don't know why they didn't have any official portraits ready to go

They figured out how to move the Bush family out and the Obama family in within a 24 hour period. Bet the official stationery is ready also. We've known Obama was PE since November. Yeah, technically, it would have been an official photo of a president elect, not a president.

28. Guess they can't do everything at once - they don't have the WH comment line up either.

And I'm OK with that, because all I wanted to say was "THANK YOU for what you've done so far!"

29. like getting rid of Stalin's statues

30. I am hoping President Obama portrait as replaced Bush's at the Houston VA hospital.

I hated walking in the front lobby and seeing Bush.

I will know next week when I take my father there for his next visit.
