Okay, Bush Jr had the shoe, Obama had the book. Who's taking bets on the next president having a hat thrown at them?

Fight smart, not fair.

It's really hard to throw a hat and actually hit somebody at the necessary distance. We're not all Oddjob.

Hat was the most likely thing I could think of. And you clearly don't wear a cowboy hat often enough if you think they're very hard to throw. I suppose it could be a wallet or some such instead.

A naked man was arrested in a separate incident at the same rally. He was apparently trying to win a reward from British billionaire Alki David, who offered $1 million to the first person to streak at an Obama rally while advertising his video-sharing website.

Awesome.

I'd really like to know what book that was, might add some extra depth to the whole thing.

The only way throwing a hat would be awesome would be if it was thrown in such a way that it landed neatly on the target's head.

That would be excellent.

I love how he didn't even notice as the book flew past him.

Apparently the man wasn't trying to be nasty or anything to Obama - he just wanted the president to read the book (which he wrote) and got kind of over-exuberant in his attempts to give the president the book. Or so he claims, at any rate.

Hmmmm, "I wasn't trying to kill the president, I was just trying to show him my flamethrower and got overzealous!" Think it would work?

In before Major Tom.

Are you expecting him to criticize Obama for this? Because, if so, I think you may have a rather strawmannish perception of the guy in your head.

Also, speaking of throwing things at presidents, this is awesome.

Come on, the things presidents have to deal with now are nothing compared to the past.

Which president was it who got shot and still completed his speech?

The term "Great Man" is disturbingly interchangeable with "mass murderer" in history books.

I'm still kind of curious just what that book was. I really want to know now.

I'm honestly more interested with that Police Officer at the end of the video. Specifically, where his hand appeared to be.
