Protesters force Bush to move Stanford meeting

Mercury News

President Bush's visit to Stanford University's Hoover Institution was
quickly moved to another location after more than 1,000 protesters converged
around the Hoover tower.

The White House said the protesters blocked the only road into the central
areaof the campus where Hoover is located, which forced a meeting with
several Hoover fellows to be moved to the campus home of former Secretary of
State George Shultz, a Hoover fellow who organized the gathering.

The motorcade instead traveled to the house, which is on the outer edge of
campus.

The change in plans delayed the president's arrival by about 15 minutes.

Protesters said they were disappointed that the President would not see them
and accused the President of sneaking around to avoid them.
