las cumbres de las américas...entonces y ahora.

1998

at one point, clinton walked in hazy sunshine down gran avenida, a busy commercial street lined with thousands of people, including schoolchildren in blue and white uniforms, many of them chanting "clinton, clinton." a few bystanders chanted "kennedy," apparently in reference to the popular former u.s.. president.

2005

a crowd of 10,000 people chanting "get out bush!" swarmed the streets of this argentine resort friday, hours before the hemisphere's leaders sat down to debate free trade, immigration and job creation at the fourth summit of the americas.

...chanting "fascist bush! you are the terrorist!" the protesters hung from the engine and moved up the sides of the train, trying to shake hands with those inside.
