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.

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

Having watched the video I'd have to wonder, with regards the near immediate dismissal of security and seeming further interest in the "situation", whether or not his interests were more focused on the questions, complaints and concerns of the individual or moreover That of Let's see what happens next...

Just had that feel...


Yep, he did handle it well, and seemed to defuse the situation a bit, telling everyone to calm down, and sit down, to carry on.

Must say the only time I have ever been impressed with anything GW did...

I had a thought watching it reminded me a little bit of back in school, Like a food fight, imagine if another Iraqi in there had followed his lead!!

Within seconds 100 odd pairs of shoes reigning down on him!

The first assassination attempt ever by shoes...

Elf.


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

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

Not everyone wants to stoop to that level.

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.

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.

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.
