Our President: Finally Agile

Posted by – December 14, 2008

You know what impresses me most about this video?

The reaction time of the camera man.

Before I could even fully process what was happening, he almost instinctively zooms out to catch the broader picture. I mean, you think you’re at a run-of-the-mill press conference, and all of a sudden an Iraqi journalist is throwing shoes at the U.S. President, and this camera man doesn’t even hesitate to process the fucking absurdity of the situation. He’s just like “Gotta zoom out to get the shoe-thrower.” What a pro.

    I was actually quite impressed with W's shoe dodging abilities!! Maybe he's a seasoned veteran and Laura is a closet shoe-thrower?? Only I feel sadness ... because what I REALLY wish would have happened is that he would have gotten nailed by the shoe! THAT would be funny! (I'm going to hell)

    Gotta admit, man can dodge.
