I'm sure you know this syndrome: give a child a toy he/she doesn't
particularly care for. Then try to take that toy away and you will get an instant tantrum! Then take a classroom full of kids who are somewhat scared and confused by the day's activity and commotion, and you have the perfect setup. One little tantrum would spread through the classroom like wildfire, all in front of the TV cameras. At this point, the only things known were that some airplanes had crashed into some buildings, and officials on the scene did not have anymore information than that. And Bush was sitting there calmly. If Bush had tried to get up an leave early, the probably result would have been a bunch of crying kids. And while newsmen aren't generally reporters, under circumstances like these they will ask questions. And then the President would be in a position where if he said everything was O.K., people would want to know why he was leaving. And then the President, who probably didn't know very much at that point, would be battered with questions that he could not have satisfactorily answered. So, Bush finished what he was doing, go up and left with no fuss, and everything ended satisfactorily... "Michael 182" wrote in message news:AINYc.87940$Fg5.51056@attbi_s53... "Bill Denton" wrote in message ... I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were so far out of the loop. I thought it was common knowledge that Bush was reading to some very young children in front of a bunch of television cameras. I had small children - still don't know your point. Michael |
