Beat me to it. I wonder what would have happened if they both hit him.

This is hilarious. If only he hit him.

[Dan]

That was a hell of a duck. Figures, the only time he really tried was for his own well being.

[Joest]

I feel bad for the reporter because he lost both of his shoes, me missed Bush's face and he is probably on his way to Guantanamo, right now.

[poguemahon]

lol. Not a bad dodge for an old guy :D

before the shoes got to Bush, the dude was on the floor.

[Karl]

Unsurprising.

[Dragon]

Good reflexes.

<_<

If he was hit in the face it would be all over the net by now.

[Dan]

It would, and is on the net that this happened. He barely ducked, it was just him putting his hand on his face, and him moving slightly down. That guy just had crappy aim.

Well a shoe isn't a very accurate weapon.

[Blade_the_fox]

I would have thrown a week old pie made with rotten eggs at him myself.

[Stuntman]

I wish I could've seen this.

It is all over the net. I saw it on another forum before I saw it here.

I have to admit, Bush has pretty good reflexes. Good dodge on that first shoe.

And I think it's actually kind of interesting -- the reporter didn't seem religiously motivated or anything. I think he was just fed up with Bush's policies and what he's been doing.

[Blixinator]

Damn! So close to becoming the defining moment of the Bush Administration.

Expect many funny .gifs

[Defective]

I was surprised that Bush joked about it. I thought it would have been hilarious if the shoes hit him. However it's a huge insult over there, sort of like saying "#### you" over here.

[Kerolix™]

I lol'd when I saw the clpis this morning.

[Blixinator]

I think it pretty much sums up the worlds opinion of him.
The fact that it was a shoe makes it even better. It's like saying that he doesn't deserve to have anything worth more than a shoe wasted in an attempt to hit him.

[e p]

If only it was thrown by this guy:

Busch is a good president, the people that tell us bad stuff about him are wrong. Because they dont tell us about the good stuff he does for America.

Maybe we'll change our opinions if you tell us the "good stuff he does."

Obviously he is your favorite. You love him so much that you spell his name wrong.

Well, one thing is for sure. Bush was the top of his class when it came to Dodgeball.

Why does he come back up after the first shoe was thrown?

[YoureANubcake]

He killed Saddam Hussein...?

That's about all I can think about, but at the cost of what?

So? He killed Hussein, but over 2,000 Americans were killed in the process.

lol!

[swatdude]

Say-I think I got one good thing about Bush: he can imitate a chimpanzee!
=-D

X-P

Wait a minute... <.<

In all of seriousness, even if Bush did do couple of good thing here and there (no, I am not bothering to give an example), his action overall is still horrendous, taking lives of Iraqis over so called "WMD", alienating the allies through arrogance, sending America into trillions dollar debt, disgracing his own party, etc.

This sounds awfully familiar (http://forums.xgenstudios.com/showthread.php?t=148909). Hmm... Maybe because someone else used the same rebuttal before? We weren't told about all the amazing things he has done? Because you say so? Cmon, using your logic, you can argue that William H Harrison was the best president in the world.

In fact... (http://forums.xgenstudios.com/showpost.php?p=2153913&postcount=16)

Regardless he still has a wicked ducking ability.

[Ggdude3]

Hee-Hee! That was a good throw, too.

[Leper Ghandi]

His bodyguards would've shot the guy who threw the shoes.

My personal favorite so far.

lol they both missed. this was absolutely hilarious.

[DarkReality]

We're pretty disappointing. As a species, I mean. There are wars going on in the world, injustices against humanity. Of all the diverse forms of entertainment we've been given, of the wide spectrum of videos available on Youtube, a video of the US president being attacked by shoes is the most viewed.

And not just once. Nooooo. The video is on the most viewed front page a whopping 18 (!!!) of 20 times.

Seriously, it's not that fascinating. Unless this shoe had some hidden knives, explosives, or threatened to actually knock some sense into the #######, there's nothing very spectacular about it.

Then (By your standards) the assassination attempted on him in 2005 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_Presidential_assassination_a ttempts#George_W._Bush) was VERY interesting.

[.slick.]

That is what he diserves plus alot more...:/

Relax, people. He's outta here in a month.

Jimmy Carter

May 5, 1979: Two minutes before Carter was about to speak at the civic center mall in Los Angeles, Raymond Lee Harvey was arrested carrying a pistol.[11] He later told authorities that he and another man, Osvaldo Ortiz, were hired to create a diversion so that Mexican hit men armed with sniper rifles could kill Carter. Charges against him were dismissed for lack of evidence.[12] Lol wut?
Andrew Jsckson
January 30, 1835: At the Capitol Building, a house painter named Richard Lawrence aimed two flintlock pistols at the President, but both misfired, one of them while Lawrence stood within 13 feet (4 m) of Jackson and the other at point-blank range.[1] Lawrence was apprehended after Jackson beat him down with a cane. Lawrence was found not guilty by reason of insanity and confined to a mental institution until his death in 1861.

More like "Most likely to get killed by a Redneck wearing white robes."

That's right. Judging someone before they've actually done anything always looks professional and shows that you know what you're talking about.

At least Obama is interested in fixing America. Bush didn't seem to give a #### what happened as long as it offered a steady stream of money and soldiers.

[Dan]

Everyone knows when Mikeh posts, he means the exact opposite of what he's saying. He really feels that Barrack Obama will be the best president.

Really?

So James Buchanan, Warren Harding or Herbert Hoover has come back from the dead?

Please tell me which one. I'd love to meet a zombie.

I heard about this news story a while ago... and then I read this thread's title and it got me thinking... this would make an amusing flash game...

I'd play it...

I think the real question we should all be asking is how the hell the guy got the shoe into the press conference in the first place.

[Sebian]

That's so funny. I want to see it again and again and again.

[Blaze Zero-Three]

Did anyone notice the guy standing next to Bush pretty much held the exact same expression throughout the shoe-tossing?
