Even though the shoe incident occurred, it actually shows how well they are doing their job. The journalist who assaulted Bush didn't attack him with a weapon, it was a shoe. The chances of him hitting bush were pretty low, even if Mr. President wasn't a good dodger. If Bush was hit, he would maybe have gotten a concussion. He would definitely have survived the attack.
Second, the Secret Service has already uncovered plots against Obama, and neutralized those threats. This means that they are already taking great pains to protect him and investigate credible threats.
I also think the shoe incident is going to make the Secret Service take a good look at their current operations, which can only help them do a better job protecting both Bush and Obama.
It's a win-win-win: Bush gets better protection, Obama gets better protection, and we get a funny story about President Bush in which he comes out just fine in the end.

But it's not just the secret service's job to protect him. It's our job too. I don't mean we should go out sleuthing, or that we should phone the FBI every time we get worried. But when people start using hate speech toward the president, are you going to just listen, or are you going to ask them questions? If you can get them to stop and think, and to realize that not everybody agrees with them, you're sucking some of the wind out of their sails.
It may seem like a small thing, but when we allow America to be a safe space for racial hatreds, we allow America to become more dangerous. People have to psych themselves up to do evil things, and the mere act of letting some of the wind out of their sails can make the difference between them having a bad thought and them acting on it.

You can't blame the secret service for the "shoe incident". You can't make all the press interviews into nude events.
