Hundreds of people pushed past Secret Service barricades Thursday to protest President Bush's visit to the tomb of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. on what would have been the civil rights leader's 75th birthday.

Bush placed a wreath on King's grave before heading to a $2,000-a-plate fund-raiser in Atlanta.

Two people were arrested as the protesters pushed toward the street in front of King's tomb, abandoning a designated area several hundred yards away.

Authorities responded by parking three city buses on the street to block the protesters from the president's motorcade.

As Bush arrived, the crowd of about 500 people booed and chanted "Bush go home!"

Is this just more of Bush/Rove's never ending bullshit or what, to use the media exposure, as if Bush cares for anything except the filthy rich...and to distort the fact, Rove timed it to collect a few million bucks to steal the upcoming election, so the Bush fascist can oppress the poor and black people even more in the coming years. Completely shameless, hypocritical, disgusting slimy swine, Bush/Rove/Cheney & Company are!!!
