LOL pure comedy
you can hate bush all you want, but he is still the head of state
throwing a shoe at someone is considered to be the highest level of insult in muslim countries
if the shoes were to hit, it would have been straight up embarrassing for the American people

This is true, in Muslim countries throwing a shoe at someone is equivalent to spitting on someone

After the people that are in a closed area with the President are checked for weapons or whatever, the secret service are not exactly on the highest of alerts, expecting someone to pull out a gun and aim it towards Dubya as if they were in an open area with hundreds of people around.
@ the fact that 7 out of the 12 most viewed videos on Youtube today are about this incident, including #1 and #2.
Ummm...No. It is safe to assume that the Secret Service was/should have been on high alert; even with background checks of everyone present the President isstill in a Foreign Country in a room with Iraqi and Middle Eastern Nationals. Not exactly a kindergarten in Florida. Seeing the slow response of SS (The guyended up being brought down by fellow journalists!) makes me think that the Secret Service had stood down a bit and allowed other US Military to secure thearea. It is pretty well known that in potentially hostile environments/foreign trips that the US Military supplements the Secret Service for protection (well,except in Dallas in 1963.)

As much as I dislike George Bush as President, I don't rock with this. Until January 20th he's still the symbol of America. That's maddisrespectful in my eyes.

It is pretty well known that in potentially hostile environments/foreign trips that the US Military supplements the Secret Service for protection (well, except in Dallas in 1963.)At the very least, an agent should have been up front and between the President and the reporters, especially after the first shoe went flying. As far as I can see, they did not react quick enough. Shoot he had more visible protection in Texas, a Republican stronghold, then in that room.
son it was a shoe, relax. they walk around with guns in texas, not in that room they were in.
Bush handled that situation pretty well.

Legacy?
He is leaving office as a disgrace to America due to...
Economy in a recession
400 Billion deficit
2 wars he started but couldn't finish
Failed to capture Osama?
Bush is going down as one of the worst Presidents in American History. He was such a disgrace that the Republicans didn't even want him to campaign for McCain so yah what a grand legacy Bush will have.
Get over yourself.

Respect is earned and not given...
Becoming the president of the U.S. demands respect. However, much of what has gone on in this administration has been dishonorable and disrespectful IMHO.
I can not blame anybody for having a laugh at the guys expense. I am sure Bush and those close to him are doing the same thing.

It's so ironic that the cumulation of all that has happened in the last 8 years has actualized with someone throwing a shoe at him. IN Iraq, noless.
