There were 1,078 articles today written about Barack Obama’s speech Sunday in Philadelphia.
As of 10PM CST last night only one article, written by Britain’s Daily Mail, mentioned that a book was tossed at his head.

It narrowly missed him.

Once again, it took the British press to report on this incident.
(The Daily Mail)

Now we know why the media ignored this story.
The book tosser was an Obama supporter.
Via JWF and the AP:

The Secret Service says it questioned and released an overexuberant fan of President Barack Obama who had tossed a paperback book near the president at a Philadelphia rally on Sunday.

Spokesman Ed Donovan said the man had written the book and hoped the president would read it. Donovan said agents concluded the man posed no danger.

Obama seemed not to notice the book that landed near him on an outdoor stage after he finished speaking to a large crowd Sunday. The president had turned his back to shake hands with people on another side of the stage.

No wonder the state-run media ignored the story.

Sajid Ali Khan, the book tosser and Obama supporter, wrote about his lunacy on a blog last night.

SK
Yesterday was one of the most dramatic days of my life. Daring, courage and lunacy was all involved. I went to the President Obama rally, in Philadelphia. Usually I am able to place myself at a point where I can shake the hand of the President and talk to him. This time I was one fence away so there was no way I could speak to him. There was five rows of people between me and the President. I was still about 10′ away from him. So I held up my book and as soon as he looked at me I tilted the book to show him that I wanted to give it to him. I did it a few times when he looked towards my direction. The President is extremely intelligent and is always looking for new ideas so I could see that he took several good looks at the book. But he did not say anything. I realized that it was going no where. So I tried to focus on Vice President Biden. I tried to jester towards him, I kind of felt that he did not mind my throwing it to him. So I threw the book towards his feet. The book almost floated in a magical curve. I thought it would land off the stage but it floated and landed in front of the Vice President. I made a V sign and gave him a thumbs up and he enjoyed the whole episode and was smiling and gave me back a thumbs up. As if saying he got it. A secret service officer ran up to the stage and picked it up and soon I was surrounded by the secret service. I was interrogated by a few officers. They said it is a very serious crime to throw an object at the President of the United States, even if it is a book and I am to be locked up till they made sure I meant no harm. However the Chief Officer was very professional and I told him if the Vice President welcomed my behavior then how come it is a crime. Anyway one officer ran a background check and he finally said that my record is clean and that I am good. I explained to the chief officer the whole idea how I need to take my work to the President. He said that this is not the way. I talked to him for over an hour. He said that according to procedure he will file a report and send it with the book to the White House. Then he let me go with a warning that if I did anything like this again I would be banned from any future rallies.

The unlucky part is that when the book landed on the stage President Obama was almost off the stage shaking hands with the front row. I am sure he would have taken the book right there if he saw it next to him.

Also there was no way I could have thrown the book at him. So I was very cautious and threw it away from him. Any way I am doing all I can. I met at least one very promising senior officer from New York City. We immediately bonded and chatted for a little while. He asked me to email him my work!

  1. Would the lame stream media cover this without permission?

  2. A former Obama supporter?

    When will people wake up and understand this fool has no skills to run a country. All teleprompter no intelligence or bravity?

  3. No surprise there. Only very rarely are any non-Obamabots allowed anywhere near the man.

  4. “I met at least one very promising senior officer from New York City. We immediately bonded and chatted for a little while. He asked me to email him my work!”

    Love is in the air!

  5. “I tried to jester towards him…”

    I’d love to get my hands on this “book” I’m sure it’s chock full of pearly wisdom.

  6. “I tried to jester towards him”

    ‘Nuff said.

  7. So it was a fellow muslim…no wonder Hussain and his minions are not complaining…

  8. “Then he let me go with a warning that if I did anything like this again I would be banned from any future rallies.”

    Say it ain’t so/oh the humanity!!

  9. “The President is extremely intelligent and is always looking for new ideas so I could see that he took several good looks at the book.”

    funny!

  10. Here is more writings of Sajid Khan….

    http://knol.google.com/k/sajid-khan/-/2whdi0jnjfq1x/0#

    “Moral values can be based on pure science. I have created
    The Wisdom Express. You can look it up on BarackObama.com. I need to
    get my work out there. I am willing to share my hundreds of pages of
    notes with those who want to help humanity by making each person
    know, understand and become his/her true self.”

  11. “I am sure he would have taken the book right there if he saw it next to him.”

    Confirms my conclusion that all narcissists were taken in by The Won. The benign variety, for sure. They must see something of themselves in The Grand Narcissist.

    And they just can’t shake the devotion.

  12. Khan (probably a Pakistani) reminds me of that weird 50s-ish woman in a pre-election, pro-Barry Hussein crowd mouthing “I love you” over and over at him. Barry certainly does draw the kooks.

  13. Oh yeah – “jester” instead of “gesture”. Fits perfectly.

  14. Jim…..is’nt Crackpot Obamabot redundant?

  15. Send in the clowns.

  16. “Daring courage and lunacy WAS involved.”

    Thanks … ‘The Wisdom Express’ … ya know … I think there’s a job waiting for him in the West Wing!

  18. Hmmmm,
    I have this smooth, three pound pet rock (quartzite with traces of red pyrites lacing through it) that I would dearly love to have him accept. Next time he’s in central Texas I now know how to present it to him.

  19. …the man had written the book and hoped the president would read it…

    This scenario actually crossed my mind yesterday when I read about the book-throwing incident. That the man who tossed it could be a NY-lovin’, Ground Zero Rabat supportin’ Muslim didn’t.

  20. Correction to #22

    That the TOSSER could be a NY-lovin’, Ground Zero Rabat supportin’ Muslim didn’t.

    Brits will know what that means.

  21. Guess there’s a reason nobody else mentioned Obama having a “book” thrown at him.

  22. That guy is such a loon that I almost like him. His post made me laugh. Nobody, Nobody! can be that nutty!

  23. Okay, what was the book they threw? Was it “How Hopey Change Made Me Lose my Job, My House, and My Health”

  24. Luuuunatic!

  25. A wet paper bag of steaming horse poop would have to smack Barry square in the puss before the media would even suggest they weren’t throwing daisies.

  26. Sajid Ali Khan, huh? Is he any relation to the Khan guy who our wonderful government let go to Yemen recently, saying he was proud to be an American traitor who belongs to Al Quaela? That guy has only been on the internet for years with his crap and our wonderful government who should be monitoring these people didn’t. Oh, I forgot, montoring citizens is an infringement of their civil rights.

    Maybe that guy is a plant and when he hooks with the Yemeni iman, he plans to blow them both up. Hear the Alawai? Better off this mole while you still can.

  27. Here’s the book that was hurled at Obama. It’s called How to be Wise. Shame he didn’t read it. Seems like he missed out on some sound advice. http://obama-book-man.blogspot.com/

  28. As far as that mysterious naked man goes – let’s hope it was a dry run.

  29. Eric of Classical Values did the research to figure out who the book tosser was.

    He left a comment HERE about it

    I’m surprised you didn’t give him credit.

  30. Think you’ll find it broke here first. http://obama-book-man.blogspot.com/

  31. I’ve long advocated throwing the book at Obama, but that’s not quite what I had in mind.
