President George W. Bush will be upping the unemployment rate in the United States when he finds himself without a job in January, but he certainly can start handing out resumes on the dodgeballing field.

Just ask Ben Stiller, who produced and starred in 2004's Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story comedy film, you need to keep your head on a swivel at all times when playing the game. President Bush certainly displayed that prowess with excellence in Iraq yesterday on Sunday, December 14, 2008.

During a joint press conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, President Bush was on hand to express his farewell to the nation he invaded in 2003 upon capturing and killing dictator Saddam Hussein. His initial reason for invading was claiming that Iraq held weapons of mass destruction, but as we know that claim never held any truth.

Midway through the press conference, an Iraqi journalist stood up and shouted, "It is the farewell kiss, you dog," before throwing both of his shoes towards President Bush, one after another. In the Arab culture, this is the biggest showing of disrespect you can display towards anyone. When the Saddam Hussein statue was toppled, the surrounding people began beating the statue's face with their shoes in Baghdad in April 2003.

Today, the shoe insults rebounded within the Arab world as many protestors displayed the sole of their shoes along with signs that read, "Go Out USA," on the streets of Sadr City, a suburb of Baghdad. It's obvious that the job done by President Bush in Iraq has not been a reception accounted for under any positive light whatsoever.

If being President wasn't Bush's keynote for success, then dodgeballing seems to be his calling card towards that route.
