Let's put it in more basic terms.

Let's say you own a business, felsha and you are away from the business that day at meetings.

The building that your business is in has a devastating fire and you get a phone call at your meeting telling you about it.

What do you do?

1) Continue on with your meeting and figure that the managers that you hired have it all under control and you don't have to do anything.

2) Excuse yourself from your meeting and find out what's going on and what YOU need to do to?

Seems pretty cut and dried to me.

Bush chose the wrong answer IMO.

"Can you point out in this instance where anything Bush didn't do cost any lives."


"There are automatic procedures that go into action as soon as a situation like this occurs."

Hindsight is not the point-- a president should be presidential when the situation demands it. There you go apologizing for the man again: "It's ok, there are 'procedures in place' and people who know what to do..." Damnit man, I don't give a shit about "procedures", I want to see my president react decisively in a time of dire national need, not staring blankly like a deer in the headlights, waiting to be told what to do and what to say.


And what's this obsession you people have with Michael Moore; Michael Moore this and Michael Moore that--give it a rest. Michael Moore does not speak for me.
