Amid a strong police presence, angry demonstrators on Wednesday chanted and waved banners and placards denouncing issues as diverse as the war in Iraq, Bush’s economic polices and his administration’s response to the deadly Hurricane Katrina.
The protests in cities including San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York and Chicago were organised by a coalition of opponents to the administration called "The World Can’t Wait — Drive Out the Bush Regime" that urged employees to skip work and children to abandon classes to protest.
In the liberal West coast city of San Francisco, up to 4 000 marching protesters clogged the city’s streets in a protest during which a firebomb was thrown at police.
No one was injured in the incident.
