As in years past, the balls were star-studded events. This year, including Kelsey Grammer, Marie Osmond, and Dixie Carter. The festivities followed the most solemn of all moments....when a teary George W. Bush was sworn in as the nations 43rd President -- following in his fathers footsteps. Through a steady flow of rain, the President gave his Inaugural address and talked about building a nation of justice and opportunity ... and of sticking to his proposed policies.
President Bush: We will reduce taxes to recover the momentum of our economy and reward the effort and enterprise of working Americans. (applause)
Just blocks away protesters clashed with police, but Bush still made the traditional walk down part of the Pennsylvania Avenue parade route. He also signed his first executive order as President and blocked many of President Clintons final acts.
In Washington, at least for now, theres no more talk of dimpled or hanging chads. With the Senate already confirming 7 members of Bush's Cabinet, all eyes are now on Mr. Bush as he begins his term as President. Gretchen Carlson, CBS News, Washington.))
