are we going to bring up Bush again? Bush didnt go golfing after 9/11,,,,remember?
No one even knew where baby Bush was after 9/11 ...flying him safely on a plane while he cried over his cozy little lunch, so Cheney called the shots.
Baby Bush didn't want to cry and disrupt his vacation to check on the disaster of the Katrina hurricane
Lets see people in Benghazi..........over 5000 or more under Bush's watch
How come we never hear anything about that...ummmmm how come?
I responded to this post earlier but couldn't get back to edit in what happened during 9/11. Obviously you're a partisan fool who just thought Bush was wining and dining and just flying around for fun.
Time to get educated. First hand account by Bush's pilot on Air Force One. Quite riveting.
On 9/11, Air Force One pilot's only concern was President Bush's safety

As told to Arizona Republic reporter Dennis Wagner
We landed Sept. 10 in Sarasota, Fla., and were scheduled to leave the next morning, after President Bush's appearance at an elementary school.
I'd been with Air Force One since 1992, and was promoted to chief presidential pilot earlier in the year.
On the morning of 9/11, everything seemed normal when I arrived at the airport. We went through briefings for security, maintenance and navigation. The Secret Service gave an all-clear. I was talking with flight attendants about the menu when our radio operator called me upstairs and said, "You've got to see this, sir."
A plane had flown into one of the towers at the World Trade Center, but it seemed like an accident. Our radios, which normally go crazy if something's going on, were quiet - no squawking about an emergency - so I went back downstairs.
Moments later, the radio operator called me back. A second aircraft had struck. I watched replays on TV, realizing it was no accident. Then they showed Mr. Bush in a classroom, with White House Chief of Staff Andy Card whispering in his ear. It's my understanding he was saying, "Mr. President, we are under attack."
Radios and phones on Air Force One came alive. The Secret Service created a huge security perimeter on the tarmac. My boss, Mark Rosenker, called and told me to depart as soon as the president got on board.
There are written protocols to follow in a nuclear attack, a chemical attack or anything like that. I knew someone was hijacking airliners and hitting targets. But there was no manual for terrorists in suicide planes. The sky was filled with other aircraft, and I really didn't know who had hijacked what. Was Air Force One among the targets? I needed a plan to make sure the president was safe.
I was still married then, and had three kids. But there was so much going on I didn't have time to get emotional or think about anything but my job. Communications systems were overwhelmed with traffic. Key officials were being evacuated in Washington, D.C., and cell calls that got through were breaking up. Information was mixed with rumor. We had to switch to the military radio network. The president couldn't reach key people on regular phones because people like the secretary of Defense had abandoned buildings in D.C. Cellphones were useless because the networks were saturated.
At one point, Mr. Bush advised me through a staffer that we were a target. The message, using a code name for Air Force One: "Angel is next."
Some flight attendants were crying, asking what they should tell the media in the back of the plane. I made all the crew members shut off their cellphones. We were at war, and I didn't want to take a chance that someone would slip up and leak our location or destination."
They knew they were at war. There was no wining and dining and just flying around for fun.

So did any one here think about Benghazi while Bambi was "Crying Over The Children"?
