See the video here.  The president was unhurt and told reporters, he was okay and said, "It doesn’t bother me. So what if he threw a shoe at me. All I can report is it is a size 10."  Photos here at TMZ.  Our President kept his sense of humor.

BDS, Iraqui style

I thought only horses could throw shoes, but I guess it is possible for a jackass to do it also.

When will he be on Keith Olbermann, the View, Jon Stewart and Meet the Press?

[diverteach]

I can’t believe Secret Service gave the guy the time to grab his second shoe.

BTW, good duck Mr. President

[kinsman redeemer]

I watched the video.

Here's my take: President Bush has EXCELLENT reflexes and is very agile!

They were pretty good throws and there was significant velocity. The President's response was measured and quite athletic. On the second throw (by then he knew the rules of the game), his dodge was just the minimum of effort needed to avoid getting hit.

I honor our President!

After reading the headline a few times today, I went ahead and watched it. I did not expect said shoes to be thrown that hard. Good duck indeed.

Do we even know he's Iraqi?

He works for an Egyptian TV station.

[Wild Irish Rogue]

Too bad he didn’t chuck it back.
President Bush has a good arm.
Did our media applaud and high five the Arab scumbag ?

[devere]

It’s really an unexpected honor for Bush. He finally gets to face “enemy fire” in Iraq, and gets to joke about it afterward. He finally at long last reminded me of Reagan.

[lnzog]

...but we need to be respectful to Obama...

0bvi0usly an 0be supp0rter.

NEVER FORGET:

I noticed people throwing shoes at Saddam statues. Apparently this journalist worked for the Butcher and unlike his opponents he escapes with his life with the “insult.”

[maclay]

So - who’s gonna make the “shoebomber” connection first?

[1rudeboy]

Good arm on the journo. Good reaction by the Pres.

[OldNavyVet]

One thing Democrats, Communists, and like-minded totalitarian nuts have in common is their taking over the training of journalists in universities around the earth.

[taxesareforever]

I would have thought he would have tossed his panties at him.

[DB]

Well you can bet the Iraqis are doing more than putting panties on the guys head about now...

[kenth]

I wish the President had just bailed off into the crowd and went to wailing on him. That would have been interesting. It probably would not be good international relations, especially in the Muslim world, and especially in Iraq; but interesting nonetheless.

[bolobaby]

Give him the Saddam treatment and feed his shoeless feet into a paper shredder.

Wait, what? He got let go without even being arrested?

Taste the freedom Bush brought you, beyotch.
