The Japanese media praises Bush for his ninja lightning reflexes for dodging the shoe of death. I was impressed too.
But am more impressed with the Bush gifs going around the Internets which you can see at Dumpert via Boing Boing.

          Well from the recent bidding scandal that is tied to Obama not to mention people already beginning to hate him even more before he even reaches office, I think we're going to have one hell of a ride for the next 4 years.

        But the thing is that many political historians, historians, and others are saying that Richard Nixon was a better President than him. And before then, he was known as the worst President the country ever had.

      the problem is that i hope in the future they don't pin bush as a "good" president. For all we know the people who liked him could be the ones who right the history books and make him look like a hero... We just have to hope that they see him for what he really was...

        Many things are clouded in hindsight and other things made clearer. We won't know the full effects of Bush's tenure good or bad until perhaps thirty or forty years later when we can look back at the effects of his actions. Things like the War on Terror or the Iraq War will have complex repercussions which may be supported or condemned when we have a chance to see later on.

      regardless of his declining popularity, bear in mind that the americans voted this guy for a second term, even after the afghanistan and iraq invasion.
      so as much as most americans would see the comedic side of this, flash games notwithstanding, it's a direct insult to the american people and the democratic process that has voted him not once, but twice into office.

But I am surprised the secret service came out after two shoes were thrown and not just one. If that was a gun and the first missed...

    Before he threw the shoe, the guy said; "This is a goodbye kiss from the Iraqi people, dog"
    and later on Bush goes on to comment; "All I can report is it is a size 10" and "I didn't know what the guy said, but I saw his sole"

      I agree. Bush isn't a bad guy, it's his administration. And they couldn't do squat without Congress, hmm who was it who voted to go to war. The President cannot declare war. People should stop roasting the puppet.

        Exactly.

        That's one reason why during the races presidential runners tried to distance themselves by saying that they didn't vote for the war in Iraq. By doing that they sort of get that boost from the American people seeing as the war itself is seen very poorly.

    aparently it is a big insult to throw a shoe at somebody.. and apparently he's been planning it for awhile.. wonder how much jail time the reporter is going to get...

    it is a felony here.. with a 5 year prison sentince for asaulting the prez.. true..

    on him... in keeping us safe..i give him an A..
    us policy.. a D.. a good guy, heart in the right place,, but a few f#$% up polices..

    Nobody thought it strange that the secret service didn't jump on the guy when he stood up out of turn? Or maybe after the first shoe? But yeah, they took their dear sweet time getting out there to tackle the guy. Which leads me to wonder whether they're getting lazy, or it was a staged incident for publicity. Whatever the case, I hope the service cracks down on security from now on. I suppose the good thing to come out of this incident is that we now know the answer to the age old hypothetical question: If you could choose from any of the past US presidents, which would you choose for your dodge ball team?

    Other then his Ninja-like reflexes...I was surprised it took so long for the Secret Service to finally jump in. The Iraqi reporter in the front did their job that day. They lucked out the guy did not have anything else on him other then his shoes. The President should have bought him dinner or something for helping him with the shoe throwing guy.

    Yeah, that was hilarious, I think even for Bush himself, he seems so amused. I think the guy chose the wrong way to try and insult Bush. I mean throwing one's shoes doesn't mean really anything in the western culture. And dogs are rather loved here too.

      The only good that came of this is that now we all know of Bush's secret ninjitsu techniques, we must all be vigilante for he may creep up on us anytime.

      Since Bush planning enter the election for the first time, he know someone eventualy will try to murder/hurt him, so he set all of his skill point into 99 AGI and 99 DEX. With another addintional from equippment and cards, he will gain 75% perfect dodge.

    Yeah, his dodging skills are pretty impressive. Nice reflexes, although the guy had really bad aim. I mean, you could see the journalist wind up pretty obviously, so Bush knew to dodge. If he really wanted to hit someone, the journalist should have gone for the body shot x 2 instead of a headshot.

    here, George Bush was able to make his speech, analyze the scene, watch every single move of every person in the room, and dodge the shoe


    He has waited 8 years of presidency to hide his secret

    George is a TRUE SHINOBI and deserves respect !!!!


    I was really impressed


    is he mastering his mega flow of chakra or is he an innovator ? does he have Trans-AM inside ???

      a lot of people over 30 don't like George either, and I don't think brainwashing had anything to do with it. If the under 30's need to look up other's points of view online then perhaps that's a good thing. Perhaps then they can gather enough information to really form their own opinion, as you certainly don't get any diversity in opinion from the mainstream media.

      Me, I think the man is a dill - but I don't hate him - I just hate what he and his cronies stand for. I hope Obama does a better job (it won't be hard to do that), but time will tell...
