Shoes thrown at Bush on Iraq trip

Hey!! Considered that Bush was being thrown with shoes while Clinton was being thrown at by 7.62 rounds at the White House back in the 90s, I say Bush had it easier.

Looks like Bush has been practicing dodging things thrown at him.

Well, when you go about ticking off the rest of the world, learning to dodge flying objects becomes a very useful practice routine.

Yeah bushes credibility has gone up a bit in my eyes now, he handled the situation very well indeed. That was some quick reflexes.

Obama may need to learn it as well as all Presidents should. Not every President was successful in dodging something.

How often have we seen Bush get flustered, he always stays cool,

aaaaaaaaaaaahahhahahahhahaha

man you made me laughinate all over myself.

listen..

did you see how slo-mo those secret service guys were???

Bush .. our commandAR in chief is in the land that we are at WAR with.. right.. and the secret service... allow a man to throw somethign at him.. that could have been explosive.

they could have allowed a man to step up with a GUN..
and it would have been all over.

they come in trot trot trot after the SECOND shoe is thrown..
are peole IDIOTS?

this is all freaking staged crap.
"ALLOWED" to happen.

so freaking obvious it's sick.
he knew to duck.

haha i'd like to see a "patriotic" "gun toting constitutionalists" get within 500 feet of the prez.. with a shoe.


but oh noes we have to take our shoes off on the aro planes because of shoe bomber but not before being within 20 feet of the president of the U.S. while in the land we're attacking for 4 years...

people in the U.S. are freaking retards to watch this .. it's hilarious.. i think it's so funny.. and it's getting more and more ironic and hilarious.. they're actually shoving it in americans faces.. that americans can't even freaking firgure it out hahahaha .. that they're being completely skewed. ahahaha I cant wait to see what it's going to be like with obama.

Precisely, perhaps he should have thrown a bomb instead, as Bush threw many to Iraq.

Thats a very good question. Why didn't he throw a bomb?

Not everyone wants to stoop to that level.

Perhaps shoes are easier to get into a press conference than a bomb.

oh yeah? but what about the shoe bomber?? huh?? what about him?

It is considered an insult in their culture

Very good, if he could he should have used a bomb, but remember that the Secret Service prevented something like that happening. Just like firing an AK47 at Clinton at the White House back in the 90s. Otherwise you may have to resort to less lethal means.

LOL funny

A bomb would have been more insulting than shoes.

That is not the message the guy wanted to send.

This is the same guy that threw a shoe at Saddam?

Or shoes were thrown at him also

Probably because he was not allowed. After all the Secret Service are looking for weapons, not shoes. Or it could all be a setup since the Secret Service was slow to react, they didn't shoot the "journalist" when he threw an object that could have been perceived as a grenade, and Bush told the Secret Service to not to arrest him and take him to Gitmo.

You know I was expecting something like the Arab reporter getting mobbed by the Secret Service and the Arab screaming "don't taze me bro!!!"

I don't think it was a setup. Would of been very hard to throw that close to his head while at the same time trying not to hit him.
