"He was waiting for someone to tell him what to do." This is your way of putting it. Condescending of course. But you are probably correct for the most part. I am sure he was waiting for further analysis of the situation. The most pressing concern at that point was his safety. My guess is that he was notified of the plane hitting and asked to wait for further analysis. It is not the President's postion, nor expertise to make some bold pronouncement on such limited information. The secret service I am sure did not say "A 2nd plane hit the WTC. What would you like to do?" That seems to be what your belief is. But nobody would really believe that. More dishonest spin to paint your hated enemy in an unflattering light. Just like your buddy Moore does for a living. He's sure got you all frothed up. "looked like he wanted his mommy" Just more inflamatory commentary from someone who hates. Looks to me like he is mighty concerned. Getting up and running out was not the best course of action. Securing the President's safety was. Taking a few minutes to get THE EXPERT'S assessment seems prudent to me. If someone did want to get the President in this situation (as a specific target based on where he was) it would be more likely they would be waiting outside the school for the group to be scurrying out than to hit the school with an airplane.

Have you seen the video? He wasn't leading anything. He was waiting for someone to tell him what to do. The President of the United States, the last superpower standing, under attack, looked like he wanted his mommy. I guess you are just to stupid to understand the gravity and shock of the situation at that time. It was unknown if further attacks were occurring or about to occur, and I am sure he was told by the Secret Service to sit tight until they could analyze the situation. I am not sure what you and the rest of your idiots wanted him to do. Maybe run around screaming as a Gore or Dean, or should he have proclaimed " when I was in 'Nam", like Kerry? If this had occurred on your watch I am sure you would have shit your little panties. Kerry, of course, would have put himself in for a medal. Your bunch are a sad bunch of buffoons, but then your hero is Michael Moore. No more need to be said. You are on ignore. I can't stand absolute stupidity as you express it. KM
