Can you HONESTLY blame him?

Iraqi reporter hurls shoes at Bush

Welcome to Baghdad. An Iraqi reporter set off pandemonium Sunday by hurling two shoes at President Bush during a news conference that was the centerpiece of his secret good-bye visit.

Bush successfully ducked both throws. Photos show him with his head down near the top of the podium.

"This is a farewell kiss, dog," the man shouted, according to a colleague who was quoted in a White House pool report by Steven Lee Myers of The New York Times.

Myers wrote in his pool report: "The president's appearance was interrupted by a man, apparently a journalist, who leapt to his feet and threw his shoe at the president, who ducked and thus narrowly missed being struck. Chaos ensued. The [man] threw a second shoe, which also narrowly missed the president. The man was roughly 12 feet from the lectern in the center of two rows of chairs, about two feet from the pool. A scrum of security agents descended on the man and wrestled him, first to the floor and then out of the ornate room where the press conference was taking place. The president was at no point injured and he brushed off the incident."

"All I can report is it is a size 10," Bush quipped.

The shoe pitcher needs to think of what would of happened had he chucked his hush-puppies at a visiting head of state 10 years ago. Do you think he'll get off a little lighter now, fff?

Yeah, I can HONESTLY blame him. I don't like Barack Obama, but I hope that I never get so full of hate for him that I take the side of a foreigner who disrespects and assaults MY President. :???:

The news stations are reporting that the shoe thrower is being hailed as a hero in Iraq by the Iraqi folks :shock: Apparently not much support for this military agreement he signed with Malaki while there...

I heard one of the Canadian announcers comment that it looks like Bush has been practicing dodging things- or else has had experience with shoes thrown at him before.... :???: :wink:

They are also reporting that this "shoethrowing incident" will go down in history- and even be taught in history books in the schools in the future- much like Kruschevs UN shoe beating- as a summing up of the Bush reign.... :lol:

Well if you look back- its been me on here thats been forecasting things are going to get bad economically-- because of the idiotic policies of GW Bush and his neocons- and chastised for questioning the idiot....And it was me for the last 4 years that was predicting that Bush's direction would run this country into economic ruin- while all the Bushites kept backslapping him...
And you are right- I and many of the economists think Bush has so wrecked this economy and country- that it will take 8-10 years just to recover the economic damages done, especially to many folks entire retirement savings and confidence-but that might take generations to rebuild the worldwide confidence and respect...

Thats the reason I've been having so much fun telling the Bushites " I TOLD YOU SO".... :D Altho sometimes you really feel like crying when you think of what Bush allowed to happen to this country... :(

I hope you too have a Merry Christmas-- and I know I will as I know we will soon have someone leading us that cares more about all people- than just the Corporate CEO's and his elitist global trader buddies.....

OT won't you come clean with us? Are you truly an idiot? or are you just trying to be a Caustic Burno on here? Is that your job to go against the grain to keep the thread moving?

I don't mind debating issues with someone but to be toyed with for your amusement is getting old!

Cares for all people!!!??? How about the hard working rural americans? How about NON-union small business owners?????!!!!! Do you think the corporate CEO's and the elitists put the economy in this condition?? How about the high and mighty libs that took control 2 years ago??? one man cannot destroy a country, but a majority and a president can. I am having a real hard time trying to figure out your line of thinking??? I am about 90% positive we have met a few years ago and if you are the person I think you are, you must have had a change of life or come out of the closet or something??? :? :???: I am glad you are happy with the president elect, I am not! but when your PERA or whichever retirement you deputies get is taxed up the azz, remember how your leader cares for all people not just ceo's. My family will weather the next few years as we have worked hard and done well the last few years. But there are alot of folks out there that are gonna have some tough sledding. For those hard working people are the ones I care about. Happy new year too. Shawn

Do you really believe that the Democrats in two years of control of the Congress with a Republican President ruined the economy :???:
Even GW's first Treasury Secretary, Paul O'neill, said that the direction Bush was heading was dangerous to the economy... So what does Bush do- not listen to him- get a new Treasury Secretary and proceed full speed ahead into disaster.... :(

Tell me what Bush did for the small business owners :???: Tell me how Bush helped the small Packers like Creekstone over the Tyson/Swift/Cargil/JBS multinational Corporate giants... :???:

There ya' go! Especially when the Busheviks were able to twist enough arms...or stonewall anything the Congress was trying to accomplish...just to make headlines for themselves...or get what the lobbyists were offering them! Arrogant, lowlife b'tards!

I was just pointing out that he obviously doesn't give a rip for his brother. Did you have a point?
