They are showing a video tape of President Bush reading to some school
children on that day that the Twin Towers were hit.
Here is his charges:
Apologists claim that Bush didn't leave simply because he didn't want to
interrupt and upset the children, but this falls apart for several reasons:
1) America is being attacked, thousands are dying, and Bush doesn't know if
we're facing nuclear, biological, or chemical attacks, as well. Couldn't he
just say, "Excuse me, kids, I need to take care of something. It's part of
being President, y'understand. I'll be back as soon as I can."
2) At the moment Card told Bush about the second plane, the children weren't
reading to Bush. They had finished reading words from an easel and were
reaching under their chairs for a book when Card whispered to Bush. Another
30 seconds would elapse before they started reading again. This pause was a
perfect time for Bush to politely excuse himself.
3) By staying, he not only endangered his own life, but the lives of all of
those children. Wouldn't it be better to risk upsetting them than to risk
letting them die in a terror attack?
4) Even if Bush was afraid of hurting the kiddies' feelings, what about the
Secret Service? Have they been trained not to attempt to save the
President's life if it might bother some schoolchildren?
5) What about Chief of Staff Andrew Card, White House Spokesperson Ari
Fleischer, and other officials who were in that classroom? Didn't they feel
that a 21st-century Pearl Harbor and a potential attack on the President
himself were worth some sort of action?
6) Finally, and most damningly, this excuse doesn't explain why Bush
continued to mill around the classroom for several minutes after the
children had finished reading.
