If Bush would have left the classroom, they would be accusing him of running from the scene of where he thought the next plane was about to crash...abandoning the kids to let them die in the explosion.
That isn't hyperbole, it's precisely what they would be saying.
This is the second time that Senator John (F*&$ing) Kerry has questioned the actions of George W. Bush in a war-time scenario. The first was his partisan and public questioning, on Nov 6th 2000, of the honorability of the President's National Guard service (Source: Boston Globe 11-6-2000), and now this straw-reaching slander regarding the President's actions the morning of Sept. 11th.
It appears that Senator Kerry wishes to make heroism in the face of attack an issue. If it is now an open topic of discussion, why is he trying to quell the 1st Amendment rights of the sailors who served with him, the commanders he served under, and all the brave veterans he slandered upon his return to CONUS? The President is willing to let by-gones be by-gones, but he will not stand by for this kind of unscrupulous and baseless personal attack on his character. The future tone of this campaign is now squarely in the hands of the Kerry campaign.

Now, Helen, 1st question...
