Let's FAIR & BALANCE-ize this blog!

Posted By Chris Crosby at 4:30 AM

I've been reading the forums, and it seems some people object pretty strongly to some of the recent posts to this blog, particularly my posts about Bush's actions on 9-11. I consider his actions in the classroom on 9-11 to be dereliction of duty, and if any other President did the same thing, I'd say the same thing. But I understand that completely reasonable people could disagree with me. In the interest of equal time, and because I'm genuinely interested in the thought process behind those who think differently than I, please answer this question directly:

Q: Why was it cool for our Commander-in-Chief to spend at least 7 minutes sitting silently and making small talk with children after being told "America is under attack" and that the World Trade Center had been hit by two planes? Keep in mind that these seven wasted minutes occured BEFORE the Pentagon was hit (which happened nearly a half-hour later) and BEFORE United Flight 93 crashed in Pennsylvania (nearly an hour later), and that President Bush was the only man in America with the power to order the hijacked aircraft to be shot down. ALSO keep in mind that no one could predict what would happen next on 9-11, so the President's actions should not be excused based on the knowledge of what EVENTUALLY happened.
