They were defying the army's warning to stay off the streets.
In a speech to the UN General Assembly, Mr Bush also announced new sanctions against Burma's military rulers.
Mr Bush said tighter sanctions against Burma's rulers would include visa restrictions on the Burmese leadership and their financial backers.
