So what do you think Obama's reaction was when he saw the

[Rainbowreflect]

"shoe video"? How about Clinton's reaction or Gore's?
I would really have like to have seen those reactions.
Did they laugh their butts off like I did, or were they more dignified?

1. Obama probably credited Bush* for his fast reflexes...

Hillary Clinton might have enjoyed it with Bill a bit more... Al, oh, hell, Al is transcendent. Anyone able to get past the 2000 theft has to be absolutely transcendent, yet given his strong anti-war admonishments throughout, I imagine he empathized considerably with the Iraqi journalist's motivations.

2. if I were Obama, i would want the names of every secret service

agent that was there. then i would make sure they never have anything but a desk job.

4. We were wondering about how slow the secret service was,

but then figured they were laughing too hard to move quickly.

5. i wondered if they might have kinda looked the other way and

privately cheered.

8. Maybe the best

of the Secret Service have already been transferred to covering Obama. At least that's what I'm telling myself to explain that pitifully slow response.

3. Publicly - dignified

Privately - come on, they're bound to have laughed their asses off!!! Didn't we all?

6. I have no doubt that it gave Obama a shiver. Obama inherits this mess.

7. it's a heavily ironic, sad and kind of scary commentary on Bush's presidency

what if someone had thrown something dangerous? As much as I dislike the Pres, his horrible indifference and lack of wisdom, I don't want to see him physically harmed.


In the same sense that I would not want to see anyone (Bush or Obama) physically harmed.
