He didn't just "sit."


wrong...find me one link that supports what you allege.

He sat and read to students for 7 minutes.


Yeah right, if there is one thing we can all agree on about Bush, it is that he is a man of action. He doesn't just sit around. Puh-leez!

Duck, you're a critical thinker. I'm sure you can discern the truth for yourself.

Here's the film taken that day, loads good on cable:

In hindsight...that would have worked, assuming that the clueless mush minded children didn't already have a sense of panic developing...

I can't believe we are arguing about how the President reacted within a 5-7 minute time frame, in a classroom full of children.

Amen Eric....beware though...you are trying to justify his actions with reason and common sense...the liberals won't like that


Would it have been reasonable and common sensical for him to calmly say

"Children, I'm sorry, I have to leave to tend to an important matter"


He handled the situation that day as best he could.

Zwyts if you want to know why Bush didn't say "Children, I'm sorry, I have to leave to tend to an important matter"...why not write him a letter and ask him yourself? Sheesh

he has already stated why.

I just find it to be a display of poor leadership.

the initial reaction of this board was that it didnt happen. Then it was defense.

If it wasnt a big deal then why try to fight the fact that it happened.

No need to watch it (and it won't load here anyway). I already posted from the 9/11 Report that he remained in the room for a short time.

Just a little FYI, not all people from opposing viewpoints disagree with this assessment. I am having a hard time trying to determine what Bush could have done so drastically different that makes it is soooo important that he get up and leave right away rather than sit there. It isn't like he was campaigning and continued to campaign after he received word.

zwtys, what is the point you are trying to make?

My original point was that a leader would not have sat there like a deer in headlights for 7 minutes.

A better leader would have calmly informed the room that he must leave to tend to important business.

7 minutes is a LONG time.

The above is my opinion.

I do not think that those who disagree are bad people, stupid, idiots, clueless, or immoral.

I will prep myself for responses which attack me and not the message.

You have still not mentioned what Clinton did for 8 years! I am waiting. Pretty sad when you have no other argument but to question someone sitting there in front of a classroom of kids for 7 minutes. KEY WORDS: CLASSROOM FULL OF KIDS!

I do not need a talk show host to make up my mind for me. Next?

Gore would have thrown a temper tantrum like he did after the election and whined to the UN. Accomplishment? ZERO!! Same boat? YES!!

He sat in the classroom for 5-7 minutes after Card tld him that the 2nd tower was hit.


I'm not wrong. What I remember from duckie's post did happen. And I never said he didn't sit in the classroom for 5-7 minutes. I didn't know how long he stayed in there with the children and that's why I was looking for a reputable timeline.

BS...I have admitted that Clinton made mistakes...Stop diverting the argument.

Attack the argument...It is not that hard.

Say you disagree with me.

How tough is that?

The statements in this article are sourced and linked. Quite a few from the White House as a matter of fact. Where's your proof that it happened any differently than the dozens of reports sited there?

lol...you don't see the blatantly obvious left-biased take on this article? I don't think that's possible.
