A paperback book was hurled towards President Obama seconds after he completed a Democratic rally in Philadelphia on Sunday, but aides say the incident in no way affected the event.
In video of the President, the book appears as little more than a blurr hurdling past his head to his left as he waved to the crowd on his right. It is not clear how close the book came to him but it is apparent the President does not notice it at all. The paperback seems to be coming from the direction of the audience penned in closest to the stage, not from the thousands of other spectators behind barricades farther back.
I remember when someone in iraq threw a shoe at Bush, and was so close. Bush had to maneuver. Does this mean iraq's have better throwing arms than americans? This guy who thrown the book was WAY off, lol.
YOU BE THE JUDGE, JURY AND EXECUTIONER!!

At that rally there was also someone who was streaking.
Someone is offering a 1 million dollar reward to find out who threw the book
This website has a much better video of the book being tossed at obama, and it also has some info and a censored video on the streaker http://www.eurweb.com/?p=57101

books open and flutter around when thrown, shoes do not. Its easier to have accuracy with a solid object than one that opens up.

No word from the White House on the name of the book -- or the author. But media reports say the author was trying to get some attention for his book, and did not mean Obama any harm.
