Anti-War Protestors Welcome Obama

Between 75 to a 100 demonstrators have gathered outside of the Beverly Hilton to welcome Obama to Los Angeles.

The gathering, made up of several groups including Code-Pink, has formed to let Obama know that they are not happy with the aggressive direction that the administration is taking in relation to Afghanistan, along with the lack of troop withdrawal in Iraq and the waffling of the attitudes about torture and transparency.
Also present are people from the Armenian community demanding acknowledgment of the genocide they have suffered by the Turks.
The anti-proposition 8 group is expected to join the protest within the hour.
