"We wouldn't expect this type of behavior out of our press corps"??

Like I said, I got a guy who needs protecting.  My guy is under more threats than any other President in history.  God forbid, should something happen remotely like this, I don't wanna hear these excuses from the Secret Service...

No one should read anything more into it than what it was, which was an individual throwing a shoe.

Eric Zahren, a Secret Service spokesman.

Or...

They are already so protected as it is that it's hard to imagine how they could guard against something like this. It just comes with the territory.

John E. Pike, director of GlobalSecurity.org, a think tank on defense and security issues.

Or...

This was a room full of cleared and screened press, and that could be the case anywhere. We wouldn't expect this type of behavior out of our press corps, but within the security structure, people can still misbehave.

Eric Zahren, again.

Uhhh, fellas.

No offense, you guys are doing a fantastic job, normally.  You are protecting the Obama Family very well, but I seem to remember, Ahmad Shah Massoud, the closest thing America had to an ally in Afghanistan, pre 9/11 was assassinated by Al-Queda on September 9, 2001 masquerading as guess what? Journalists wanting to interview Massoud.

Please explain to me again how "We wouldn't expect this type of behavior out of our press corps"??
