Grading the U.S. Secret Service response to stopping the Iraqi Reporter from throwing two shoes?
What grade should be given to the Secret Service on how fast they responded to protect the President. Two shoes were thrown to President Bush and the Secret Service was not able to stop the Iraqi who done it. The Iraqi reported was held by other reporters before the any Secret Service were seen in the video. The Iraqi reporter threw his first shoe and then bent over to take off the other shoe and still had time to throw the second shoe. Please rate the protection of our President. Take note, this was done in Baghdad.
Rate from 1 to 5. (5 being the best response).

Maybe the Secret Service agreed with the shoe thrower.

It's one thing to take a shoe off and fling it. Maybe the SS should have seen it. But the "Shoe-ni" had time to reload and fire off another shoe and only then was he wrestled to the floor. But these are the same asleep-at-the-switch people that while the Bush twins were in South America somewhere, their purses were stolen right out from under SS personnel noses. Has anyone noticed how lackluster the people charged with security have become? Even the INS, and ICE don't seem to be doing their jobs either. "" I don't get how this is "the worst insult an Iraqi can give". Aren't these the guys that behead people? I'd think that would be a worse insult myself."" In Arab culture, throwing a shoe or showing the sole of your foot or shoe is considered a grave insult.

1. and i hesitate to give that high grade,had it been a grenade it would have been a tragedy and Obama will no doubt have attempts on his life and i hope his secret service people are more on the ball!
