Dubya ducked pretty good though. Twice heh
What a repugnant, disgusting and dangerous act by that "journalist".
Who put him in charge of Iraqi foreign policy?
That opinion would not change if a different President had been the target.
This violent act easily could have been mistaken as an assassination attempt by an agent who didn't clearly see what was being thrown. Had just one agent opened fire, innocent people could have died.
I don't care how much this jackass disliked President Bush... he should have used his pen, his keyboard to express that.
This is I think the crucial point: doing that could have gone horrifically sideways, with many innocent lives put at risk. As Grydth says, challenge away, the more sharply the better—that's an important part of journalism—but do it sanely.
As long as he stays out of Dallas, he should be fine.....It is a testament to the eyes and control of the SS that they did not start whipping out their weapons and such. They saw it was a shoe and that the President wasn't struck. Still they should've been able to stop the second shoe from being even thrown or at least stand in the way of it. I know they're supposed to catch bullets for the Prez but maybe they're not trained on catching shoes...
Kinda makes me wonder how well will they defend Obama? Oh of course they will I shouldn't doubt it.
Or a hotel kitchen in Chicago? Or a theater in Washington D.C. ? Or how about a train station or an Exposition? Or even a 2nd floor Motel Room?As long as he stays out of Dallas, he should be fine.....
Luckily, the shoeter was quickly apprehended.
In days gone by, the mere sight of all the security would have made many with bad intentions shoo.Time was, a good Secret Service man would take a shoe for his President. Those days are gone.
