Tony Hawk Rolls Through the White House

16. Disrespectful. Nice to know the youth of today have such a "classy and respectful" individual to look up to now days. (Sarcasm intended)

17. Everyone that thinks that this is disrespectful should remember something: Abe Lincoln's children used to bring their animals into the White House & they included horses.
John Quincy Adams, the sixth president also had a pet gator. His was a gift from the Marquis de Lafayette; it lived in a bathroom in the East Room of the White House. According to some reports, he enjoyed using the gator to scare his guests.
Herbert Hoover's son, Allan Henry Hoover, owned a pair of gators that were occasionally allowed to wander around the White House grounds.

Quit your grousing! There were probably also grouse living on the grounds!

18. It may be deemed disrespectful but that is a portrait of true America. Where else in this world would you be ALLOWED to even be around the President if you weren't a high ranking offical? Skate on Tony!

20. Big deal, he rode a skateboard in a govt. building. Ron D , your thinly veiled comments are'nt fooling anyone, and FUBO, it's HIS office desk, if the President wants to be comfortable while doing his job, what's the problem? Bush did it, and good for HIM too! Now, you put President in quotes...is'nt THAT disrespectful ???!?!?

24. TONY HAWK JUST DESRESPECTED GEORGE WASHINGTON OUR DEAD FOUR FATHERS. HE SHOULD BE SUED FOR WHAT THAT IGNORANT PRICK DID. I bet all his friends skate boards all over his house and f-ck his ugly ass wife.

25. How is this disrespectful? He would not have been allowed in the White House if they didn't expect something like this to happen. Furthermore, if the Secret Service, at any time, deemed this disrespectful, I can assure you they would have taken care of Tony. Quickly.

26. Tony got to do this while Obama was making a run to get cigarettes!
Way to go Tony!
For the record; I approve.
Skateboarding is NOT a crime!

27. RE: jeff

You might have had a valid point if he lived at the White House. He was a guest.

Disrespectful.

28. Nice one Tony...monkey see, monkey do! Lets keep count of all the stupid idiots going to attempt the same stunt there and at other historical locations.

29. Why is he even still skateboarding? Isn't he afraid of falling and breaking a hip at his age?

Disrespectful Tony, and you are an incredible douche for even doing it.
