Yah.

I couldn't agree more. I don't care if it's George W. or Barack Obama, if you throw a projectile at my president I will pull the fucking trigger myself.

I guess his henchmen didn't get there in time to make sure only those that loved Bush (and coincidentally also still believe the Sun rotates around the Earth) were present.

I bet Bush didn't expect that, not that he'd have any reason to since he has no knowledge outside of his immediate self or the diatribe he's been spoon-fed as a belief system by the same people that blow up buildings, burnt down Waco, assassinate doctors, and changed the phrase "Drinking the kool-aid" into what it is today.

Poor guy was probably caught totally off-guard by the idea that someone in the world was not in love with his dumb ass.

I thought of the matrix when I saw this as well, but it was the part when all the Smith's come rushing in out of no where.

he deserves it! GWB is a smug moron who hoodwinked even his own people. respect? meh! he lost "ours" a long long time ago!

if bush does only one thing right it's to ask for leniency. supposedly, the shoe thrower is looking at 7yrs in the clink for disrespecting a visiting head of state.

He wasn't really trying to harm the president, just insult him. In Arab culture the sole of the shoe is meant to be deeply offensive - showing it to someone suggests that they are beneath them. When Saddam's statue was pulled down in 2003, the locals threw shoes at it. This journalist shouted "This is from the widows, the orphans and those who were killed in Iraq!" with the second shoe. It was a protest.

Exactly right! But I still think they should have fucked him up! You dont fuck with the President of the U.S.!!

There are things you do and things you don't do. Throwing a show at the head of the president of the United States falls into the things you don't do.

He is lucky he wasn't shot. If security was as good as it should have been his brains would have been splattered on a wall before he made the toss.

That's a pretty unrealistic expectation, not to mention that it would have been a completely inappropriate response.

Inappropriate response? In a country where there are multiple terrorist attacks a week and American servicemen and women are killed frequently I don't think it's inappropriate to shoot a person who pulls out a black object and throws it towards the leader of the free world, twice.

I would automatically assume it was a grenade and his ass would have been dead.

It is a secret service agent's job to scan the crowd and assess threats. Technically they are taught to know he is a threat by his demeanor. The way he acts, if he is sweating, all these things are considered...

Maybe he would get the toss off but he should have been pumped full of holes unless they knew it was a shoe. If they weren't sure he should have been shot.

Yes, inappropriate.

First, did you actually watch the clip and pay attention to how much time elapsed?
Second, do you have any experience what-so-ever with handguns, much less shooting a moving target.
Third, why would you shoot someone in the head for throwing a shoe? Do you actually think the SS is capable of drawing and firing a shot into the head of a moving person in a crowded room, yet incapable of identifying the object being thrown as a shoe?

Next time there's a Die Hard marathon on TV, maybe you should find something to do outside.

I scored a 4

hey all I heard in these responses is a bunch of bullshit on top of the bullshit not one of you people have said that the guy should be thanking G.W.B. Because of bush he is able to throw the shoe and not get shot, but i see all the bush haters are here right along with the AMERICA haters wake up assholes. bush may not be the best U.S. pres. but i watched two planes go through buildings and people jumping for there lives,(and not on tv either in real life) and i can sit here and also tell you that iam here to tell you this story because we havent been attacked since 9/11 thanks to G.W.B. WAKE THE FUCK UP PEOPLE!

that was soooooooo close - i'd have loved to have been there - imagine the nasty inbred fascist getting caught square on the jaw with that size 10! i'd pay good money to see that - wish i coud have thrown the shoe at the murderous arse hole myself - i can absolutely guarantee you i would have been a better shot!

I'm not sure if you're really that hateful, or just a troll, but you're not right in the head either way.

i dont like bush either, but you need some serious, titanium balls to do even that to the american president, regardless of who it is at the time. but hey, at least we got one more hilarious, embarrassing video of bush before we say goodbye to making fun of him all the time
