a few times, and the thing that stood out was were was the Secret Service? Maybe it was the camera angle, but it seemed that they blew this one. Anyone else see it the same way?

It's odd how they're reporting this. Regardless of how they interpret Bush's reaction, they feel the need to spin it as a negative. The real stories here are how out of line the reporter was and how slow the secret service was in reacting to the outrageous aggression. 

On a side note, is it just me or does Cruise look more out of it every time he appears?  His eyes just seem to be getting glossier and his actions speak to a disconnection with reality.

Doris Kearns Goodwin is talking nonsense on stilts! The scenario that she created out of thin air has nothing to do with reality.  But she had to make something up. She reads his mind, you know...she knows he can't wait to leave.  Well, Doris old girl, every President (except Bill Clinton)  has been glad to get out of the pressure cooker! 

And she has no idea what Bush would have done two years ago.  I happen to think he would have reacted the same way...that's just how he is.

Her little "analysis" is just solipsism.  A condition shared by many of her cohorts in the "pundit" trade.

That's why they all make me sick!

No matter what Bush did, it would have been deemed as embarrasing.  The media quite frankly wastes my time explaining this stuff.

Also Tom Cruise just keeps proving that Scientology rots your brain.

Five years and change ago, who would have thought an American President would be in Baghdad addressing an Iraqi free press?

That an Iraqi journalist whose most violent action is reduced to hurling a physical insult [his shoes] at Bush rather than exploding some kinda body bomb.

What is embarassing is the lack of coverage by the MSM about all the positives the American Forces have levied upon the Iraqi's through their humanitarian, civil and social endeavors.

Clinton would have never dreamed of addressing the Iraqi's face to face. Bush I might have been able to do that, had he continued Gulf War I another 100-hours, or had helped out with the Iraqi southern uprising after the war.

I think it was John Cleese who said that a man falling down the steps is tragedy ... but a man watching another man falling down steps is comedy.

Check out Maliki during the whole thing. First, he has that droopy dog face, and he remains completely calm throughout. But what cracked me up is that when the guy goes to throw his second show, Maliki tries to catch it!

President Bush has always been an honorable man. He would have had the same reaction no matter when this would have happened. The "Drive Buy's" always try and put a spin on just about everything to satisfy thier left wing agenda.

Goodwin is a raving ideologue and loses all credibility as a historian when she compares Nixon being "pelted by demonstrators" to one person throwing his shoes at Bush.

What this former historian fails to realize in his deranged hatred of Bush is that:

1. ALL of the other journalists in the room kept apologizing for the actions of one (1, uno) journalist.

2. This journalist would not have had the opportunity if Bush had not provided his freedom and the freedom of the press.

I would suggest that Goodwin's books are highly spun historical fiction because her credibility as a commentator on history sank some time ago into the toilet. This was another piece of evidence of that.

Why would anyone with even the faintest hint of a pulse be interested in anything she has to say?
