What President Al Franken did in classroom on 9/11.
(just on AAR)

He says he would have been out of the classroom on 9/11 in about 15 seconds without alarming the kids. His monologue went something like this:

"Hey Kids, Something has come up. I gotta go back to Air Force One and be President, but guess what? This class is going to the White House! We're going to figure out a way to get you a trip there in a month or two"

President Franken exits the classroom.

Immediately to aides: "What are we doing? Can we shoot them down?"

would have CANCELLED his little photo op and tended to the nightmare.

4. You are correct, Catfight
Bush knew of the first tower being hit by a hijacked commercial plane before he left for the school. He never should have set foot in that classroom, let alone stay there.

3. Clinton WOULD have been out of that seat in 15 seconds.
i have NO doubt about it.

Gore....perhaps 20-30 seconds.

DUMBYA? 7 minutes before SOMEONE ELSE came and got him.

50% approval rating?!?!


George W. Bush, Hero of the STUPID.

5. What was really whispered in Shrub's ear that morning...
..."Mr. President, your fly is unzipped."

7. plus, Clinton would have said something to put the class at ease ...
"Sorry, kids! I have to go pee!"

And the children would have thought he was the coolest grownup in the world.

8. The kids were a photo-op anyhow
Are we supposed to believe that Bush* placed a photo-op above the nation being attacked?

This man is not a leader. He is a coward and a killer.

6. "Uh, Mr. President...
Edited on Mon Jun-21-04 11:50 AM by Q3JR4
We need to make it look like you're actually in charge, so just sit there and look like a deer caught in the head lights while Mr. Cheney handles some stuff that's come up. No, no, no, eyes open a little more. That's the look sir. You got it. Just stay like that for another seven minutes or so and someone will come down to get you."
