If the shoe fits?

I have to say that the Pres has some pretty good reaction times.

I wonder if any other politcos would have the same kind of reflexes.

No doubt he's been hunting with Cheney more than once.

The journalist who threw the shoes is being hailed as a hero by many in Iraq. Throwing shoes at someone is the worst possible insult in the Arab world. Remember all the people hitting Saddam's fallen statue with their shoes?

And he, the journalist, does not have to respect or honor the Office of POTUS. He's a resident of Iraq - not the USA.

Grace, by doing that he's also insulting every resident of the United States. But, Cheer him on, go ahead.

Under Saddam that would have never happened, because the penalty for him doing that would have been death.

I understand the a resident of a foreign country might not respect the President, or the office. But I'd expect at least a passing attempt at respect from citizens of the US, regardless of how you feel about the current occupant.
