For Bush, No Vacation from Demonstrators
From Times Wire Reports
More than 600 antiwar protesters gathered near the home of President Bush’s family to call for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq.
The president was spending the weekend at the Kennebunkport estate of his parents, former President George H.W. Bush and Barbara Bush, to attend a wedding and relax.
“Hey George, while you’re golfing and fishing, kids are dying. Sleep well,” said one protester’s sign. Another placard read, “We were misled and tens of thousands are dead.”
