Bush eff'd pretty much everything he got involved in, so the boos are deserved. If McCain wins, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. If he eff's it up, too, give him the boos.

If you boo you are disrespecting the office? I don't buy that. The office is bigger than Bush and booing him doesn't diminish the office or the accomplishments of prior presidents. If anyone has disrespected the office it is Bush. The man is shameless and his stench can not be masked. Everyone knows he is a disgrace and he has no one to blame but himself. Also, booing him shows the rest of the world that not all Americans approve of the Bush Administration (something your really want to convey seeing how opinions about the U.S. are at an all time low).
