If You Were President, How Would You React After Being Told "America Is Under Attack"?

I would think, if it were me, I would sharply look at Andrew Card in disbelief, and say... "WHAT DO YOU MEAN AMERICA IS UNDER ATTACK? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? WHAT'S THE SITUATION?" I don't think I would care how many cameras were on me, or how many children were around. Or, I would say, "Children, I have to leave, some thing's come up", and walk out of the classroom, and THEN say, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN AMERICA IS UNDER ATTACK? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? WHAT'S THE SITUATION?"

How do you think you would react? If you were the President of the United States, sitting in a classroom full of children with multiple cameras on you, and your Chief of Staff whispers in your ear “a second plane hit the second tower. America is under attack", how would you react?

I'm curious as to what people think they would do.

First off I

would not have entered the classroom it was obvious that the 1st plane was something more serious than an accident! It would be prevalent to get to the bottom of the situation! Make sure our defences were up!

I would get out off that classroom as quick as possible as ...

bonjour ,

I would say the same as Jon above and I would get out off that classroom as quick as possible as among other reasons my presence there is an immediate potential danger for the children and everyone at that school including myself.

Remember the extreme precautions taken at the 27th G8 summit

Remember it was possible that there was a terrorist incident early that same morning.

The trained secret service should never have let him leave his hotel for the school knowing that the first plane had hit the north tower and his life could be in danger

The Secret Service

should have removed the president from the room immediately, as if he was on FIRE.... but they didn't, because they all knew where the attacks would be happening, and he was in no danger.

What I would do ..

After the SS had taken me to a safe location I would tell them that
it was unneeded. I would also have told Andy Card that I already knew about the attack because I saw the first plane hit WTC on TV ..

Yeah, or...

...do (nothing) exactly as Bush did....nothing (like say, for example, protecting the country) is more important than "not frightening those school children" at that moment....after all, the photo-op must go on undisturbed or "the terrorists win"....

9/11 Truth ends the 9/11 Wars

I have the most difficult time...

... imagining that I would not at least stand to my feet. If nothing... and nothing else... I would stand up, onto my feet.

Bush didn't even uncross his legs in discomfort.

Maybe, or maybe not address the children... but if I did... it would be easy enough to simply say "dear kids... something has come up and I must go now... do your best to stay in school and off drugs. Wish I could spend more time with you. Good bye." Yet, I would only be saying that, on my feet, as I was walking briskly toward the door.

President of the United States, George W. Bush, didn't even unfold his hands. If there is ANY, any at all truth in body language... George W. Bush was saying in no uncertain terms, that the information he was purportedly receiving was of no surprise, of no importance, nor seemingly any significant concern to him what so ever.

That fucker just nodded his head, in the affirmative.

If Card really said to Bush

If Card really said to Bush what he and the 9/11 Commission claim he said, he said it at the speed of a radio ad disclaimer. Card is complicit.

"How Do You Know....

...we're under attack? And by whom? Let's get the f**k outta here now & take precautionary measures. And grab my coat!"

Basically...

What I'm seeing in the comments is that NO ONE thinks they would do absolutely nothing. Which is exactly what our "President" did.


Why isn't Dick Cheney in prison?

Yep..

Unfortunately it doesn't really prove anything but I DO like how the SS allegedly evacuated
Dick Cheney while he was COG-planning but left Dubya sitting like a lame duck .

If that woz me.....

I would sit back and try to imagine what a real president would do.....Then I would look at my goat book to see what a goat would do.
Then I would wonder if this is what Dick was referring to when he said, before I left for Florida "Don't worry I have it all sorted...."
