We planned on watching the swearing in from the Jones Day rooftop terrace located on the side of the Capitol where there was either a security breacch or a water main break (we heard both!) In any case the result was we were stuck on 1st street with thousands of other people...going nowhere. After about an hour of not moving, we made "our escape" and found our way to Jones Day. But since the entrance gates closed at 11.30 am--thousands of ticket holders at the purple gate never got in.
Look at all the people on the surrounding rooftops!
The Sharpshooters were everywhere.
While we perched atop Jones Day roof top garden, Aaron and Rebecca took part in the standing crowd and later joined us.
The crowd greeted introduction of GW Bush with a loud and long "boo".
While you watch this video, you will clearly hear the feelings of the crowd!!
