> Can you imagine if he had jumped up and ran out of the room with his bodyguards? That probably would not have inspired calm among the children, teachers, and the press who were covering the event, would it have?

How about "I'm sorry, children, something very important has come up and I must attend to it now. I enjoyed being with you."

You do realize that during those 7 minutes, a terrorist plane was headed toward the Pentagon? Did his 7 minute delay make any difference? Probably not, since Cheney apparently gave the order for shootdowns without bothering to ask Bush first, but we don't really know.

Just ask yourself, "If I were President, what would I have done in that situation?" My answer is, only a figurehead President would have just sat there. Only the staff of a figurehead President would have ALLOWED him to just sit there.
