He was giving a speech in West Berlin two months after he was shot

Op makes a Political post about a politician and asks us not to make it political.

Reagan and Obama both had really good comic instincts. The latter didn't improvise as many jokes but his delivery timing was excellent.
LeadPrick
need to play with sound to get it, guys.
VulpineAxiom
i think most people were waiting for him to duck or osmething
ThePunishersVengefulBrother
The man was in shoot-em-up movies AND a shooter. He knew the difference between a gunshot and an effect.

Fair point

I didn't care for his politics, but damn, he was one smooth mother fucker.
IllegalDuckling
The problem with american presidents. They're all either just decent people or comedians.
Forensics4Life
I like his voice, never really heard it before except for iconic wall speech
5NoteHalf
It amazes me to think his movies are now old enough that people "never really heard" his voice. Then again you might not be from the US :)

quick-wit is a sign of intelligence - also being an actor for so long probably helped.

Glad you enjoy

I'm at the office, so sound is off. And as a result I literally have no idea when in the footage the pop happens. I'm impressed.
BearForceTwo
if you're curious it happens just before the last time he looks up. when he looks up he goes "missed me" in a dry voice and laughter erupts.
DocHarriers
Ah, thank you.

When he got shot he told his wife 'Honey, I forgot to duck'. Jack Dempsey line, but still cool.
Keeperofthe7keys
He was a good president for the time foreign policy wise, I just wish republicans would stop hailing him as some hero of economics. 1/2
Keeperofthe7keys
Because he had no clue what he was doing in that department, among other issues 2/2

Man it's almost like he diffused a tense and questionably appropriate moment with humor omg maybe people should try it sometime
dumbledorable15
This and Teddy Roosevelt’s reactions are the best
Melondwarf
That is one calm reaction
kudayta
To be fair, he was pretty senile by this point.
copingcabana
He was a great man. He saved 77 people as a lifeguard growing up in Illinois.

I was waiting for a flinch. I only turned on the sound when I watched it through twice and couldn't pinpoint the moment.

I was pretty sure at what point it was but I had the experiance of living with someone who has suffered trauma so I know the look.

Ditto. I thought he was going to duck, or jump, or something. Regardless of politics, this is a president I can respect.

Exactly what I did. Even the the twice part :o

Me too!

Especially after being shot two months ago!
PsychedelicButterfly
While he didn't see combat he did train in the military. For a lot of the military it's ingrained to look for shooter & find cover.
PsychedelicButterfly
We also had to gauge the distance of the sound & see of there were casualties. Flinching only happened if the noise was right in your ear.
IllegalDuckling
And this is why drill sergeants scream so much.
BallsLikeWatermelonsPeckerLikeAThimble
He was so quick witted back then. It was a shame when he started sliding.
VulpineAxiom
he loved to clean the pool, so in order to keep track of him when he was really slipping, his agents would throw leaves in the pool
r0b0tc0rpse
I mean, he was a terrible president. But, hey, charisma.
Tamerdinosaur
Would you say his wit started to...trickle down?

reminds me when prince charles got rushed on stage and shot at twice and he just casually adjusted his cufflinks- circa 1994

guess it was his watch, not cufflinks. heh. anyway, i heard shots fired close by once and i hid behind a truck til the ambulance left. haha

Well that is one embarrassed attempted assassin.
stealthgunner385
"Would you awfully mind FUCKING NOT, please?"
Imalwaysready
Man, no one panicked. They all just sort of watched. Where did those shots go? I thought people behind him would have scattered.
SankariSuomi
It was a starter pistol, not a live firearm.
GasBandit
Apparently they were blanks.

The Queen shoots REAL ones so I'd guess he'd know from the sound he was in no danger.

Bush remains the shoe dodging champion of the world. He would NEVER flinch.

What flinch? That was ducking a shoe that was thrown

When Bush lied the nation into attacking Iraq. Bush created an expensive disaster still burning hot today. Your grandkids will pay for it.

That fuse was lit long before that particular Bush took office...
IBroughtASpareDrainpipe
But Bush the Patrician knew what a quagmire attacking Iraq would be. Bush the coward stupidly rushed in, and lost it all.

Technically, the US didn't light the fuse. But we sure did make sure it stayed lit.
