Haha..the secret service folks did react a bit slow...after the first shoe somebody should\'ve done something. It\'s cool that bush laughed it off, but i know bush felt embarrassed as hell. The whole world cannot wait until this cat leaves office.

Obama would have been knocked out. He\'s the stiffest half brotha I\'ve ever seen.

He\'s Texan. He dodges bullets and burritos like a New Yorker dodges taxis and couriers.

If I decided to throw something at GW it would sure as hell be a little more deadly than a shoe.

Ya I know, its supposed to be one of the most disrespectful things you can do because of the way they view to bottom of our feet.
I was just using the Austin Powers line.

have you seen Obama plays basketball before? he\'s very good at that sport. So, I wouldn\'t be surprised if he could dodge successfully too.

I remember some documentary about the fiasco at Mogadishu (sp?) as the American troops arrived by helicopter. The American GI\'s were sitting on the side of the copters with their feet dangling. To the people below, showing the sole of your shoe or sandal was an insult to them so a bunch of them took their sandals and showed the GI\'s the bottoms of their sandals. Right off the bat, things weren\'t going well for the Americans.
Cultural protocols can be quite complicated.

That\'s crazy....cultural misunderstandings can be idiotic sometimes, if not all the time. On another note, how unfortunate is it that bush\'s legacy and lasting image of the iraq war will most likely be this shoe throwing moment?....all joking aside it\'s pretty sad.

Unless that\'s what you\'re obsessed with, I doubt it.
He\'ll be remembered for 9/11, Iraq and Afghanistan.
Obama is a good basketball player. That\'s all I have on him for now. I ain\'t bein\' racist. :)

That\'s a fair assesment....but i think bush\'s iraq and foreign policies will overshadow 9/11 and Afghanastan.
