Opponents of the outgoing President hurled shoes at an effigy of George W. Bush on the beach at Newport Ave. in Ocean Beach, San Diego. The event was hosted by a performance group called the Ground Zero Players
In Ocean Beach yesterday evening I witnessed a gathering that was less a celebration of the inauguration of President Obama and more a relishing of the end of the term of President Bush. The crowd was not large, but the airborne shoes and ill feelings oriented toward the outgoing leader were in no short supply. After taking turns pelting Bush’s likeness, the group broke out in song, crooning “Thanks for the Memories” with smiles on all their faces.
The event was put together by a street theater group known as the Ground Zero Players.
