Though the military has killed a good handful of civilians it is still nothing compared to the killings that Saddam has inflicked to his own people. He used a chemical weapon (WMD) on his own people for christ sacks. I am not at all excusing the reason why we went to war. SOME OF YOU AND PRESIDENT BUSH ARE NO DIFFERENT
You want the US to intervine with the genocides in Africa, but yet we would have to wage the same type of war in order to do so, because of there soverienty. The only difference between changing the government in Iraq and changing the government (ex. Sudan), is that Iraq has oil. Iraq is a member of Opec if we get its government to turn into a democratic allay we could possibly get oil alot cheaper. That was the thought process of President Bush fueled by %?*? Chaneys propraganda.

What makes you think that they are going protect Obama any better than Bush.

What makes you think that they are going to do any better protecting Obama

OK, WTF!!??? I’m not a fan of Bush, and it would have made a better story had the shoes actually hit him, but after the 1st shoe, where in the hell was the secret sercive. They were slow as hell to move. I hope that Pres.-elect Obama picks his own security. Funny and ridiculous at the same time. Good reflexes W. LOL!!!

All i gotta’ say is I can’t wait for Saturday Night Live to do this skit next week!!! OMG!!!

Should have been some hard heel shoes and aimmed lower.

Look out need to be more careful…………………

Bush got a some great reflexes. I was hopin to see one mo funny clip of Bush b4 he left office. Lol.

THAT WAS HELL OF FUNNY MADE MY MORNING. I WISH ONE WOULD HAVE HIT HIM, THEN I WOULD HAVE CAME TO WORK WITH TEAR OF JOY IN MY EYES LOL. THAT WAS JUST TOO FUNNY, AND HE SAID IT WAS LIKE SOMEONE FLIPPING HIM OFF WITH ALL FINGERS, THAT SOUNDED STUPID… WASNT NO ONE WAVING AT HIM.

DAVID, MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE ,SENCE YOU THINK SO HIGHLY OF THIS MAN. YOU SHOULD HAVE PROTECTED HIM AND MAYBE THE SHOE COULD HAVE HIT YOU INSTEAD . STILL LAUGHING

When you do dirt and treat hard working americans like shi…………….. and treat them as if their beneath you, take care of other countries instead of AMERICA first, you may just get the slow react from secret services:

On that NOTE, OBAMA is the total opposite of BUSH, he’s intelligent and smart and give a damm; putting AMERICA interest and needs FIRST, so he will be fine with secret services because they know they are protecting a decent and good president who actually care about america and their self’s and families!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree PENNIE:

David, should have been there to protect his all mighty god and got hit straight smack in the fuc………forehead, knocking him striaght the fuc….out!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe the impact of the man’s shoes would have given David some intelligence and brains when he awaken, so he could actually think for a change!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL: that is hilarious; I think the Secret Service DID protect the President quite well…they knew that Bush had quick reflexes, so they let him handle it from there…lol

LMAO thats what he gets..he caused all this drama and heart ache to many americans..they should have actually hit him..he deserved it!

DID anyone see the BARBARA WALTER’S SPECIAL with the PRESIDENT ELECT? well, when BARACK travel’s he has MILITARY SHARP SHOOTER’S, BLOCKING THE WINDOW’S of his VAN, so that’s just part of his SECURITY, and when I saw that on BARBARA WALTER’S , my mouth dropped open, and they don’t show the half of his security team, and let’s face it people, their are HATEMONGER’S out their, and can you imagine what it will be like when he really become’s the PRESIDENT? and as far as BUSH is concerned and the SHOE’S, well, you REAP what you SOW, he LIED about the WAR, and now he has the nerve to go into IRAUQ and want to bring GOOD TIDING’S AFTER, MILLION’S of people have been MURDERED!!!!!!!! WHERE WERE THE OTHER PEOPLE AT TO THROW THEIR SHOE’S!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That guy is a hero, even if he missed. Bush should not have been there anyway. Those people have suffered enough. That shows how arrogant and devilish he his. He is the most hated President in the world.GO HOME TO YOUR RACIST COMMUNITY MR PRESIDENT………….

That guy has represented the feelings of the world , the Iraqis and many American citzens.
There shoulds be more, for here is a man who is responsile for “war crimes and atrocities against mankind” and he is about to ride off into the sunset with out being tried and punished.
for americans he has devastated their economy.
He has promised to make the UN erelevant.
He is responsible for more american soldiers death than in WW11, unnecessary and counting……….

He needed a better farewell than 2 shoes, he needs a boot up the “farewell”

God does not sleep.

This reporter just don’t get it had he done this throw a shoe at Saddam he would have been beheaded and his family would have paid a terrible price. Some people just don’t know how to deal with freedom.

I couldn’t have said it better Truth, that man had enough guts to do what millions of people wanted to do anyway!!!!!!!!!!!

Bush don’t CARE about all the millions of troops who lost their lives and fought endlessly for our country that lived in United States, so what makes you think he give a dam about Baghdad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

these comments are a clear reason why bet should stay out of journalism. some of the least introspective, prefer to be non-informed perspectives are continually expressed by their readers. i come here from time to time hoping for an insightful point of view and i am steadily dissapointed. my only hope is that the majority of you who left comments are 15 years or younger. I can always hope anyways.
