Flying shoes

He threw his shoes at our president.
Okay, I'm no fan of Bush and will be glad when his reign is over but at this point he's still our president and I can't help getting upset that some wacko is hurling objects at him.
I don't care that it's some kind of insult in that country because it really means nothing here, (Unless you're Austin Powers?) but until January 20th Bush is still our president and we should defend him.
Other than that I thought he handled it well. He joked and made light of it and moved on.
Now what do you think about the reaction time of the Secret Service?
