Awkward moments for new American presidents

THE most awkward moment – as well as the first time the inaugural oath was disrupted – occurred in 2001.

According to http://www.usnews.com, in the wake of President George W. Bush’s controversial 2000 victory, two protesters found a way around the ban on ticket-holders bringing signs, placards, or stickers to the inauguration. They wrote “No Mandate” and “Hail to the Thief” on their bodies and suddenly stripped 20 yards from the new president.
