Book thrown at President Obama

Via CNN:

President Obama got the book thrown at him – literally.

In what was one of the president’s stranger campaign rallies, an unidentified individual in the crowd threw a book at Obama just after he wrapped up his remarks at the event in Philadelphia on Sunday.

The president did not appear to notice the flying projectile, which was caught on video, though it did appear to miss him by only a few feet. It’s not clear what book in particular was thrown, or why.

Chairman Zero has a lot in common with his big-spending predecessor, but his awareness and reflexes are clearly not as sharp as the Shoe-Dodger-In-Chief.

UPDATE: This explains why the lamestream media practically ignored this story yesterday — the book-thrower is an O-bot.

An overzealous Obama supporter was detained by Secret Service after he threw a paperback book at the president during a rally in Philadelphia Sunday.

The unnamed man was released without charge after Secret Service deemed him to be not a threat to the president and that he merely wanted Obama to read the book that he had written. The book did not hit the president, whose back was turned to the aspiring author during the incident.

At the same event, 24-year-old Juan Rodriguez was arrested after he striped naked at the rally in an attempt to win $1 million from Internet billionaire Alki David. The British entrepreneur offered the money to anyone who streaked in front of the president to promote his site. David told New York Daily News that he is reviewing the footage to see if Rodriguez earned the cash prize.

Can you imagine what would have happened if the “overzealous” tosser was a Republican, or a member of the Tea Party? But no. Since it was a Democrat, move along. Nothing to see here.

Still no word on which book was thrown. A few possibilities:

  • Economics for Dummies
  • 1984
  • Atlas Shrugged
  • My Pet Goat

    Man, I could watch that Bush-Matrix gif all day long.

    If it was a book that book-throwing dude hoped the Obamessiah would read, it better be no more difficult that One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish.

    Definitely not Atlas Shrugged unless the print was microscopic. Should have been the Constitution, but since it was one of his supporters we definitely know that's not what it was, more likely a book about taking all the successful authors book sales and redistributing them to lefty authors.
