I can't beleive the Bush apologists on this one.
When I heard about the second plane, I knew instantly that we were under attack, and that it wasn't an accident. You probably did too. I don't know what took Bush so long to accept that and act on it. It was obvious.
He's the leader. He's supposed to lead in a situation like that. Maybe there were things he could do during the attack, and maybe not, but he didn't even try. He just sat there. He has bad instincts.
I remember very clearly that Bush wasn't the nation's leader that day, Rudy Giuliani was. Bush made a brief statement in the morning and then was whisked away for the rest of the day. It took him a couple of days to really pull himself together and start acting like a President.
He is obviously not the man you want to have around in an emergency. His instincts suck.
