This Shoes for You

After watching the news and seeing an Iraqi reporter tossing not one..but two shoes at our President a couple of questions come to mind. Where was the secret service all this time?? I mean I could see one shoe getting tossed..but two, well I can see someone getting a butt chewing for that faux pas. But then again maybe the President was a little stingy with the Christmas bonus this year, getting them a key chain from "Things Remembered" instead of a check. Also there is a rumor going around MLB that the Mets are looking to sign the shoe tosser up as their new relief pitcher. Also
in the news actor/singer Jamie Fox suggested that President Elect Obama get a pit bull...well I have my thoughts on this subject but I will keep them to myself.

I think he (the shoe thrower) was tortured. One news item
said his face was all bruised.

I see from the comments that people are all having mixed feelings about this. This president is enormously unpopular at this time, but then again, he IS the president... Well, for now.

No wonder "Iraq" is so fluccked up... can't even hit "Bush" with a SHOE.. grrrrrrr

If the shoe fits...? But no matter who is President, more respect should be shown to the President of the United States. I wouldn't ever vote for a Bush but he deserves not to be assaulted. If it happened in the US, the thrower would receive the automatic 20 years in the clank. In Iraq they will probably give him a small fine and an iPod.

I found this to be very funny,but serious.
That was sort of uncalled for.This probably will be on youtube soon.

Watching the news to hear/see the story--all I have heard are bites about it--will they torture the shoe thrower?!?!?

That was a weird sight... seeing the President ducking the flying shoes.

I saw that and felt bad for him... And I wondered the same thing! Where was his staff?
