9/11 saved Bush's ass. He was not considered a legitimate President going into 9/11. His poll ratings were low and slipping. 9/11 in some truly bizarre way, allowed Bush to look like a strong leader?!? Despite the fact that he didn't lift a finger to protect our country on the morning of 9/11/01. Despite the fact that we've spent trillions on our military and couldn't even defend the Pentagon with over one hour to do so. Despite the fact that he had 8 months in office to get on top of Al Queada and prevent such an attack. Despite the fact that it now appears that the government was tracking the 9/11 hijackers a year before. Despite the fact that the President was briefed on 8/5/01 about a pending Bin Laden attack and did nothing to heighten our security. Despite the fact that he led us into war on half-truths and innuendos.

It doesn't matter. Bush is a cult of personality figure with the American people now. They don't care what he actually does. It's the aurora of the Presidency that makes people think of him as a stronger leader. People are detached from reality.
