I'm surprised the DailyMail didn't know what the book was - and even admitted that they had no idea. Someone knows, the SS knows, the thrower knows.

The back cover reminded me of "The Black Swan," which is a decently popular pseudo-free-market book that may have a paperback version that would be about that size. My second thought was "The Road to Serfdom" - does anyone have the latest printing? My GIS searching hasn't turned up a pic of the back cover yet.

The book's ID will be known by the end of the day. I just hope the thrower hasn't been isolated and removed from public discourse.

How about the US Constitution or Declaration of Independence to knock some truth into him.

I can still view it, you just have to click on the video itself because CBS disables embedding

Someone should throw "Economics in one Lesson" at him.

An unknown guest in the audience launched a book at the president following his speech. In the video below, the literary projectile can be seen flying past Obama, who appears not to notice.

Secret Service 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
