7. Um....everywhere?
Were you watching?! There were thousands! It was triumphant. There was more booing than cheering, until near the end of the parade route where it was all staged.

11. They were everywhere. Look at how many times they shielded the limo
and rushed passed the crowd, only in front of their paid and invited supporter stands did * get his cheers.

17. Where were you? C Span had mentioned that 2/3s of protestors were
held up at other checkpoints. I felt they had a presence along the entire trek until the end. FLOP is in the eye of the beholder. I am proud and jealous of those who made there way to protest!

A demonstrator hit by streams of pepper spray fired by police has water poured into his eyes after protestors clashed with police on Pennsylvania Avenue several blocks from the White House in Washington, January 20, 2005. Anti-war chants competed with pomp and circumstance during the inauguration of President George W. Bush (news - web sites) for a second term as president took place amid the barricaded streets of central Washington. REUTERS/Jim Bourg
