Time was, a good Secret Service man would take a shoe for his President. Those days are gone.
Perhaps they know something we don't ....
Heh, if that had happened in the U.S. he would've been buried beneath so many Secret Service agents that he could be buried in a large flat mailing envelope. I remember when Ronald Reagan was shot...security people teleported in from nowhere to form the World's Largest Scrum.
I remember that. It was as though they were just suddenly there. An impressive sight, I must say.
It is a testament to the eyes and control of the SS that they did not start whipping out their weapons and such. They saw it was a shoe and that the President wasn't struck. Still they should've been able to stop the second shoe from being even thrown or at least stand in the way of it. I know they're supposed to catch bullets for the Prez but maybe they're not trained on catching shoes...
Kinda makes me wonder how well will they defend Obama? Oh of course they will I shouldn't doubt it.
Um ... not with shoes.
Sure he wasn't from the NYT?
