That guy needs to learn to be heard without all the aggression. I'm sadden to learn he was injured, beaten after taken into custody. Wrong after wrong after wrong. I think they beat him cause he made them look bad. Whatever, I'm glad Bush is okay. I hope the shoe guy is treated and released. I think he's paid for his loss of temper with his ass whipping. I mean you gotta respect power! Even if it's Satan's! Because of who he is, even though you don't like what he's is. The Secret Service should've been the ones beat! Why the hell were they not there! @!$%#! And I don't like that bull@!$%# either!!! They not even in the same room with Bush! Bush should've took those shoes and knocked them upside their heads with them! And put their butts in jail too right with the shoe throwing guy. The whole trough of 'em would've went to the slammer had I been there. And the Secret Service don't need to go or take with Obama no damn where!! They asses ain't even paying attention! @!$%#!! What the hell? I feel so bad knowing these idiots is protecting any President! I know one thing, nothing, and I mean, NOT A DAMN THING, better happen to my Obama. The next 8 years better be smooth if they don't want to be punished by the American People. I have so little faith in Obama's security. Just look at what just happened with Bush. You feel good?  Man, Lincoln, Kennedy, now please, not Obama. Please!! I$$LOVE$$MY$$PRESIDENT$$ELECT!!  Reps+Dems=$$$  $$AMERICA$$4EVER$$$  $$$OBAMA$$BIDEN$$$2012  $$$OBAMA$$BIDEN$$2012  $$$STILL LOVE MY SENATOR$$$MCCAIN$$$

I too am glad Bush is alright but this whole incident has been a metaphor for what is wrong with our response to Iraq. Brute force to attack a problem that was at most an irritant (for us) and which has now grown into a major problem for our country. The guy who threw the shoes is not the problem but Bush, the guy who ginned up the war and generated the hate is responsible and we should not lose sight of that fact.

I don't care who started what! Bush is over. And Obama is here. Nothing negative better ever happen to him either. I love my new President! So whoever @!$%#s up watching Obama...let's skin 'em! Alive!  And I'm not playing. Yes, I am. But in addition to playing, I'm serious. @!$%#, I'll take a purse! And a belt!
