Succumbing to Ashton Kutcher’s peer pressure, pro skater Tony Hawk took a short roll in the White House on Friday. Hawk skated in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building and the Grand Foyer while attending a Father’s Day celebration hosted by President Obama. Shortly after blurry photos of Hawk’s presidential skateboard ride were posted to Twitter, a handful of nobodies jumped at the chance to criticize the “asshole†skater and the Obama administration for somehow disrespecting the sacred building. I wonder if they felt the same way when President Bush let Israeli Prime Minister Olmert rip around on a Segway. See the inane twitter attacks, both real and sarcastic, after the jump.

I think Tony Hawk skateboarding in the white house was absolutly amazing. I guys if you and old fart you would see it as repulsive. I wish i could grind on Obamas dinner table,lol.
Tony is stupid for this. Just because some people don't get the concepts of reverence, respect, what's appropriate and what's not, doesn't give you any legitimacy to bad mouth people who do. Obviously lots and lots of people WERE offended….That should be your first clue, Lack of respect for the sensibilities of others is not "cool". It is rude, without class, and an indicator of your ignorance.
I don’t really consider this disrespect. He’s a professional skater, using his god given talent and it was a once in a life time opportunity, who wouldn't have taken it? It’s not like he was spitting on the floor and stomping on the flag. This isn’t a time for Americans to be so uptight. Loosen your panties a little bit and sit back and enjoy life. Life is too short to be worrying about who’s doing what and who’s being disrespectful. Its ridicules….
