9/11 School Principal Praises Bush Reaction to Attacks

Booker school principal Gwendolyn Tose-Rigell says, however, that Bush did just the right thing by staying put and continuing to read to her children. And she says the president's performance that day made her want to vote for him, even though she's a Democrat.

Bush has faith, a sense of purpose, dignity, moral clarity and courage. Kerry has a rich wife and nothing else. In the end, Bush's superiority will shine through for the nation to see.

[Semper Paratus]

Will Kerry sick his lawyers on him next?

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

Bush remained calm under the utmost pressure.

We now know that Kerry was catatonic for 40 minutes.

I'm sure Bill Clinton would have soiled himself!

[Babsig]

This needs to be a TV commercial played in all 50 states.

Tough to do when your pants are never on!

[Guenevere]

Why can't a story like this be front page, above the fold on every newspaper in the country....and read from every news anchor on all the stations....to refute Michael Moore's damage.

.....oh, excuse me.....I must have been dreaming.

Reality is this story will never see the light of day except in cyberspace on a few conservative websites.

[Mr. K]

"We now know that Kerry was catatonic for 40 minutes."

What do you know that I dont know?

This needs to be a TV commercial played in all 50 states.

That would be perfect!

[feedback doctor]

I remember that the lady in the room said that Bush had taken her aside and told her of what had happened, and asked her to pray from the country and him as he had to make important decisions. I don't know if this was the principal or the teacher. A young African-AMerican woman, this might have been her.

[No Blue States]

I share your frustration on that issue. It burns me up.

[MikefromOhio]

Don't forget that Hillary would have had a seance with FDR and Eleanor to figure out who to bomb first, Germany or Japan!!!!!!

What do you know that I dont know?

Take a look at this thread.

Listen, he wasn't president on Sept. 11, and I am not questioning his reflexes or reactions, but it is worth noting what Kerry did do on Sept. 11, 2001. Here's what he told Larry King: "...And as I came in [to a meeting in Sen. Daschle's office], Barbara Boxer and Harry Reid were standing there, and we watched the second plane come in to the building. And we shortly thereafter sat down at the table and then we just realized nobody could think, and then boom, right behind us, we saw the cloud of explosion at the Pentagon..."

What Kerry REALLY did on 9/11!!!!

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

This is what Kerry was doing. Sitting in a primary TARGET building for forty minutes, until someone else told him to evacuate. He's Presidential material, alright...

This thread among others will illuminate things for you. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1185921/posts

>>>... she says the president's performance that day made her want to vote for him, even though she's a Democrat.

Fair enough.

[PISANO]

You know it is SO DAMN easy to say WHAT you would have done if you were in charge after getting 3.5 years to ponder it. Kerry's seeming ignorance of the depth of character necessary to backward look on a national tragedy with such flip arrogance leaves me cold.

[Boundless]

>> "We now know that Kerry was catatonic for 40 minutes."

> What do you know that I dont know?

"catatonic" might be an exaggeration, but not by much.

Kerry: "...And as I came in [to a meeting in Senator
Daschle's office], Barbara Boxer and Harry Reid were
standing there, and we watched the second plane come
in to the building. And we shortly thereafter sat down
at the table and then we just realized nobody could
think, and then [40 minutes later] boom, right behind
us, we saw the cloud of explosion at the Pentagon..."

So once again, Kerry's claims (on what he would have
done) are contradicted by his own record.

Further, he has yet to tell us what he would have done
after exitting the stage - i.e., what the President could
have done in those 7 minutes that would have deflected
any further attacks. "Don't Panic" was probably the
most effective message to send. Bush sent it.

Tose-Rigell didn't vote for Bush, but said that after watching the way he handled himself in her classroom while under incredible pressure, "That day I would have voted for him."

What about today?

We need to find the article(s) where it says the SS were securing GW's leave taking in the wake of 9/11.
