Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004): Inauguration Protests

The clip inauguration protests from Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004)

...on a nasty, but it could be worse, kind of day in Washington.
What do we want?
Justice!
When do we want it?
Now!
On the day George W. Bush was inaugurated...
...tens of thousands of Americans poured into the streets of D. C...
...in one last attempt to reclaim what had been taken from them.
They pelted Bush's limo with eggs...
Stay back! Get back!
...and brought the inauguration parade to a halt.
The plan to have Bush get out of the limo for the traditional walk...
...to the White House was scrapped.
Bush's limo hit the gas to prevent an even larger riot.
No president had ever witnessed such a thing on his inauguration day.
And for the next eight months, it didn't get any better for George W. Bush.
He couldn't get his judges appointed, he struggled to pass his legislation...
...and he lost Republican control of the Senate.
His approval ratings in the polls began to sink.
He was already beginning to look like a lame-duck president.
With everything going wrong, he did what any of us would do.
He went on vacation.
