Just sat there and finished the story and did nothing, eh? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vFQRuwlvn4&eurl=http://www.netvibes.com/ Enjoy Go on, go on, watch it ^_^ For all you liberals that think President Bush didn't do anything: Can I call you stupid now? Since I've won? I doubt these schoolkids are lying
Yes he sat there after informed about the first plane, one of the students mentioned watching the second plane. If I were him at that point I'd assume, like many did, that it was an accident and being handled. If I knew what was really going on I would have immediatly reacted to make it look good, but that's just me, and maybe that's why I'm not the president.
So you think they were watching TV while the President was in their classroom?? Um... no. The President had left, when they heard what was going on, they turned on the TV and watched the second plane. Did you even pay attention to the video? So if you were Bush you would have thought the attacks were an accident... that's what Clinton would think. I'm certainly glad you're not the president! How can the death of 3,000 people including military officials be a good thing? If you tried to brush it off your shoulder like a spec of debris or a "good thing", I seriously would hope you would get impeached for TREASON.
Exactly, but the time most peolple relized it was an attack he had been reacting. That's what most people thought before the second plane hit. First off when the plane hit there were not 3,000 people dead yet. How many times have you seen a president react within minutes after a plane crash? What makes you an expert on how he should have acted at the time?
Here's what someone else would have done (or not done): Nobody could think, huh, for all that time? Between the second World Trade Center plane and the Pentagon? Yeah, that's rough-and-ready Kerry.
Yes, but the President would know better And even when the second plane hit (less than an hour later), would you STILL think that? I certainly hope not. ... unless it was your own conspiracy Wait, what?? Did you just contradict yourself? Because that statement doesn't make any sense to me... perhaps you can rephrase it. My bad. An hour after the first plane hit, there were 3,000 people dead. It's not like you would be talking to the American people in a conference less than an hour after the attacks... I haven't, which is my point. Look who's talkin
Wasn't he acting by this time, you're try to show how he reacted after the first plane hit; he sat there reading but by the time the second plane hit he was long gone. You said: The President had left, when they heard what was going on, they turned on the TV and watched the second plane. Did you even pay attention to the video? I answered that by the time people thought it was an attack and not an accident he was reacting. I'd be busy trying to figure out what's going on and how to prevent any more incidents.
Uhhh.... lol, is there anybody else who can make sense of this statement? The way you word this, it's almost as if... 1. He wasn't acting by "this time" which I am not sure what time that is you are referring to, 2. He reacted after the first plane hit (which would mean leaving the class, right?) 3. BUT by the time the second plane hit, he was already gone out of the class I don't think you understand what we're trying to prove here... I know, you use the term "was reacting". Maybe the problem here is that you're being vague: how was he reacting, what do you mean? Was he just leaving the classroom? Was he giving orders? Was he in a meeting with his top military advisors? What do you mean "reacting"? Maybe he was just thinking about it. The FAA already took care of preventing the incidents, for now. I hope that if you ever become president you are impeached immediately.... for sheer lack of intelligence. You may seem logical "Oh well let's try to figure this out", but you never talk about any action. That's the common liberal way... all talk no do. They're afraid of their precious ratings!
Video of President on 9/11 in the classroom during the attacks Just sat there and finished the story and did nothing, eh? You're point to this thread was that Bush did nothing for 10 minutes, fine, my view is that he, like many others may have thought it was an accident. By the time it was realized that it was not an accident he had left to deal with the situation. As for my use of the word 'reacting', I can not think of a better word as to I do not know what exactly he was doing but the definition of reacting is: To act in response to or under the influence of a stimulus or prompting:
Compuxp is aching for an argument too often. In those minutes, nothing would have been accomplished either way. Him sitting there or not sitting there did not directly affect the situation either way. It's a silly argument and always has been.
I guess I don't really find this movie very interesting... So what? He was caught off his guard for ten minutes. He needed to be sure of what he was doing. I think I can respect that. I certainly didnt' start to explain it away when I watched it on TV I sort of stared at the TV in disbelief for about ten minutes. I think it's a normal human reaction, unless of course you're abnormal or more concerned about politics than having normal feelings to consider a situation. I guess I just don't see how funny it is...
I think he should ran out like George Costanza at the birthday party. Pushing down kids, stepping on old people and locking them in (for their own protection). THAT would have been the right thing to do
And Cheney should have immediately shown up in that Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoats, Coat and Pimp hat!
