It was perfect. Rather than create a panic by running out the door. He finished what he was doing and awaited more information.
It's what most real leaders do.
Bush was frozen while America was under attack and Americans were dying. It was a total failure of what a leader must do.
During that 15 minutes, NO ONE knew the scope of the attack. It was very possible Bush AND that school were also targets. Bush endangered those school children and FAILED this nation.
You are a partisan HACK with zero objectivity and totally out of line.

Out of line? The Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces on the United States of America was told "America is under attack"...and he just sat there. He didn't know who (or which country) was attacking, whether there would be more attacks, what military plans had been taken, what military actions should be takenindeed, he knew virtually nothing about what was going on outside the room. He didn't know if HE was a target, AND He just sat there...
It was the biggest failure of leadership in history...

You JACKASS. He completed what he was doing as not to panic people and didn't kneejerk as you would have liked him to do.
You are just a sad and pathetic piece of protoplasm.
what a dipshit
YES, Bush is a dip shit.
Hey asshole, if a commercial airliner with American citizens on board was needed to be shot down during Bush's total failure of leadership, WHO would have given that order? Bush was too busy learning about pet goats.
I'd love to hear what you would have done to not create panic...christ, what a moron

Sitting there clueless and comatose is the only option other than panic and kneejerk?
Maybe Bush could have acted like an adult and told the teacher there was an emergency and he had to leave, then let her tell the children. OR, he could have said to the whole classroom that he had important 'president' business and excused himself from the room.
Your typical right wing pea brain polarized option is childish.
YES, Bush is a dip shit.

Either tell the teacher there was an emergency and he I had to leave, then let her tell the children. OR, get up and tell the whole classroom that I had important 'president' business and excused myself from the room.
It is the kind of things competent adults do, something that would be totally foreign to pea brains like you.
So what do you recommend he should have done?
Fly up off the chair in front of the kids and storm off?
Tell the kids..."Sorry, the country's being bombed and I have to attend to it?"
Put a more worried expression on his face?
What would have been your response?
Are there any choices other than sitting there clueless or causing a scene by storming off? Let's try to think like an adult here Marc. He could have calmly told the teacher there was an emergency and he had to leave, then let her tell the children. OR, he could have said to the whole classroom that he had important 'president' business and excused himself from the room.
Instead, what did the Commander in Chief do with the knowledge that the United States was under attack?
He did nothing.
Bush did not say one word. He did not ask Card any questions. He did not give any orders. He did not know who (or which country) was attacking, whether there would be more attacks, what military plans had been taken, what military actions should be taken—indeed, he knew virtually nothing about what was going on outside the room. He just sat there. Bush later recalled: “There was no time for discussion or anything.” [Fighting Back: The War on Terrorism—From Inside the Bush White House, by Bill Sammon, 10/02, pp. 83-84] Even stranger, as one newspaper put it, although the nation was under terrorist attack, “for some reason, Secret Service agents [did] not bustle him away.” [Globe and Mail, 9/12/01]
Military pilots must have “permission from the White House because only the president has the authority to order a civilian aircraft shot down.” [CNN, 10/26/99] But if retaliatory strikes needed to the authorized, Bush was not available. If one of the planes had to be shot down to save more lives on the ground, Bush was not available. Although several fighters had been dispatched to defend New York City, the pilot of one of the planes flying to catch Flight 175 later noted that it wouldn’t have mattered if he caught up with it, because only Bush could order a shootdown, and Bush could not be reached in the classroom. [Cape Cod Times, 8/21/02]
Hijackers could have crashed a plane into Bush’s publicized location and his security would have been completely helpless to stop it. Remember, Bush’s schedule had been announced on September 7 and two of the 9/11 hijackers came to Sarasota that same day. [White House, 9/7/01, Longboat Observer, 11/21/01, Washington Post, 1/27/02] Furthermore, the Secret Service was aware of the strange request for an interview a few hours earlier and the previous night’s report of a person in town who had made violent threats against Bush.
Indeed, a few days after 9/11, Sarasota’s main newspaper reported, “Sarasota barely skirted its own disaster. As it turns out, terrorists targeted the president and Air Force One on Tuesday, maybe even while they were on the ground in Sarasota and certainly not long after. The Secret Service learned of the threat just minutes after Bush left Booker Elementary.” [Sarasota Herald-Tribune, 9/16/01]
An Interesting Day: President Bush's Movements and Actions on 9/11
So what? Bush was dead on accurate in his response, sir. YOU are outta line as the Partisan HACK that you are.
I'd love to hear what you would have done to not create panic...christ, what a moron

So YOU propose to tell a grown man...the leader of the free Western Culture HOW to act?
Dude? YOU while removing that splinter from his eye refuse to remove the very PLANK in front of yours.
YES, Bush is a dip shit.

there is a difference, moron, Bush made a lot of mistakes, his response on 9/11 wasnt one of themEither tell the teacher there was an emergency and he I had to leave, then let her tell the children. OR, get up and tell the whole classroom that I had important 'president' business and excused myself from the room.

YES Dude...Bush FAILED miserably. Andrew Card whispered in Bush's ear that 'America is under attack' The teacher and the classroom of 5th graders did not hear it and they were not privy to that information, so there is no credible reason Bush couldn't have excused himself without causing alarm, panic or suspicion. OR you know, he could have just LIED, something he was good at; he could have said he had to take an important phone call in the hallway and not returned.
What I find fascinating is all you right wing pea brains constantly disavow Bush as a RINO and that none of you thought he was a good president...UNTIL someone calls him out, THEN you defend this poor excuse for a leader with every cell in your pathetic little bodies.

tell the children what exactly? They are SECOND GRADERS!!!!! Sorry...you're just not on the right side of the ball here.
Do you really think they were planning to dive a plane into an elementary school? There were reasons why the WTC, Pentagon and Whitehouse were targeted. That school didn't meet their criteria. If they were gonna take out GWB and AF1 they would have had to have targeted the airfield. But it wouldn't have happened. They would have been taken out. As for the president giving the order to shoot down a civilian aircraft, that could have been accomplished at any moment. All he has to do is give a nod. Contact with the president was maintained at all times. Just because he was conducting himself in a controlled manner in a class room full of kids doesn't mean he can't take a phone call. God forbid we should have to deal with an attack like this while Obama was on the golf course...how would he have handled it...FROM A PHONE!!! Of course he would have duffed his 7th shot on the 9th hole first...but still, he would have had the same options as Bush did. All he had to do was listen to the situation and say the word "YES" and the order would be given.

WHERE do you come up with this fairy tale? A 'nod'? Watch the fucking video...Bush just sat there with a clueless glaze on his face for more than 5 minutes after being told "AMERICA IS UNDER ATTACK"...He talked to NO ONE, he didn't 'nod' of even look at his staff...
He was frozen...his incompetence overwhelmed him.
There is nothing he could have done that you would not have objected to. Nothing. Stop pretending otherwise.WHERE do you come up with this fairy tale? A 'nod'?
