You're way off base. The President is the Commander and it is his responsibility to not contribute to the uncertainty of the situation by acting foolishly.
At the time he went to wherever he went, I doubt if anyone knew exactly what the hell was going on, and he had a responsibility to stay safe in order to carry out his duties. When the situation was under some semblance of control, (diverting flights, canceling flights, etc etc) he did what was the right thing, and that was to return to D.C.

Suppose this was something that was going to happen all day long? Would you have preferred he be in the White House with a 747 bearing down on him? What good would that have done the country or the world?

Is it possible that you are allowing your dislike for Pres. Bush to cloud your perspective on the situation?
