Description	You know, if there is anything I've learnt from the CGC so far this year, it is that you don't actually have to watch the news, listen to the radio or read the newspapers to keep abreast of current affairs. Instead it is sufficient that you play the latest games from the CGC. These games will keep you informed of the stuff that really matters. Even more than that, a new dimension is added as you become a mock participant on the virtual world stage, re-enacting the momentous world events of our times - thanks to the conduit of the CGC. My only regret is that this year's CGC will be finished shortly before Barcak Obama's inauguration. Still we can't have everything. I won this game on my first attempt, by picking a rather obvious shoe-throwing parameter. Will you manage the same feat?
Comments	Gavin graced us with lots of games at the beginning of CSSCGC 2008 but then had a long hiatus from the compo. He came back near the end with a final rallying cry and this little topical number. The man who threw shoes at George Bush did get beaten afterwards and this game does not let you forget that. Magenta background oozes a dedicated loyalty to the original "crap stylee". Anyway, see if you can win it without much difficulty. I inadvertently won it on my first go - as I'm sure many players would. Looking at the code, only one parameter actually influenced the outcome of the game. The other parameter is a bit of a red herring, or perhaps it is there for added realism?
