Activists rally against the president in Portland
by NIKI SULLIVAN Associated Press Writer
PORTLAND, Ore. - At least 2,000 activists marched through downtown Portland on Thursday, to protest President Bush's inauguration, the Iraq war and the administration's economic and social policies.

Police said they arrested 13 protesters, but despite some tense moments, the situation stayed relatively peaceful.

Grandmothers and grandfathers, middle-age professionals, students and others took part in the march that wound through downtown. <snip>

When a marching middle-age protester was confronted by Bush supporters, he shook the American flag he was carrying in their face. <snip>
