It's always been the job of Secret Service agents to take a bullet for the President. Now they'll have to take a shoe.
I'm sure this video will get plenty of airplay on Leno, Letterman and Conan.

Did he intern at the New York Times or the Washington Post?

And the President waved off the Secret Service and calmly finished the news conference, quipping that, “it was a size 10.”
Class vs. crass.

Ya sure that wasn't one of the Astro's bullpen pitchers?

This shoe attack could have just been a probing attack to check defenses for a much larger shoe attack planned for later.

Well the good news is at least they have shoes with their Flat Tax.
If it was England with their socialized Medicine and insane marginal tax rates it is a miracle they have shoes. Besides they have been so geldified they would have thrown a high heel :-) .......

The reporter was allegedly from Egyptian Newspaper. I cant believe the comments on YouTube.You can't? I can. It takes all kinds. And some of the marginal ones congregate on YouTube.

Indeed — the President laughed at the clown.

I’m surprised the Secret Service didn’t drop the guy.

They probably wanded and searched them all for weps..that is why he had to resort to the shoes. In Arab culture this is a BIG insult.

As a U.S. taxpayer and fellow citizen of U.S. soldiers risking their lives, suffereing horrific injuries and dying to improve your litle hell-hole of a nation I say to that journalist f*** you and the horse you rode in on! If it were possible to isolate fools like that and hold them in a portion of Iraq which would be run in fashion like that under Saddam, I would be all in favor of it.

Wow, with reflexes like that, he could be married to the Hildabeast (ducking all the ashtrays).

Or at least be hired at the NYTimes and or MSNBC.

In Arab culture this [hitting with shoe] is a BIG insult"Remember when the Saddam statue was pulled through the streets of Baghdad and all the Shiites were hitting the statue with sandals and shoes?
To: sionnsar
Well, “sticks and stones” and all that. . .
As the President told graduates at Texas A&M on Friday:
“Remember that popularity is as fleeting as the Texas wind. Character and conscience are as sturdy as the oaks on this campus. If you go home at night, look in the mirror and be satisfied that you have done what is right, you will pass the only test that matters.”

No, the soles of shoes are very insulting to Arabs. It’s worse than giving them the finger.
