john kerry lacks presidential temperament
WHY JOHN KERRY IS DANGEROUS FOR AMERICA

by Mia T, 8.20.04


I do think that Senator Kerry losing his cool should not be an excuse for him to lash out at the president with false and baseless attacks. We've already said we weren't involved in any way in these ads. We've made that clear.

White House spokesman Scott McClellan

 

Mr. McClellan needs to understand that John Kerry is not the type of leader who will sit and read 'My [sic] Pet Goat' to a group of second graders while America is under attack.

the missus on hubby's 9/11 paralysis
(apparently teresa, like kerry, has a pesky little problem with the truth)

missus heinz kerry on July 25, 2004:

Heinz Kerry on what her husband would have done if he were president during 9/11

Chris Matthews, host: If it was 9/11 and your husband were president of the United States; remember how you imagined, we all saw a bit of how the President behaved. He was in a school room, there was some hesitation and then they tried to protect him and then by two or three days later he seemed to be in charge; how do you think your husband would have behaved on 9/11?

Teresa Heinz Kerry: I think the President behaved correctly in terms of being quiet amidst stunning news like that. I mean, a classroom of kids-- what can you do? It takes you a couple of minutes to digest what you've just heard. And then, he was not in his White House with all of his people, he was in a school in Florida. I know that there are all these people always available to the President-- it must've been terrible. I mean, I don't know that anybody would have done what they normally do perfectly and under those circumstances. John is a soldier though, someone who has to have quick reactions, probably would have reacted a little differently, because as a Captain of his swift boat it was his job to protect his men, physically to protect them. That's a good question-- I've never asked him what would you do. I think he would have gone to the site immediately and if he was persuaded not to by other people or tried to, I think he would have persuaded them that he had to.

Matthews: Be more aggressive.

Heinz Kerry: He would've gone there immediately.

Matthews: Why do you think that he would have done that?

Heinz Kerry: I think it comes from that thing, protecting, "Have to go, have to see my men, I've got to see the people." But that's how he is; now, you know, in hindsight how can you tell? I don't blame the President for being stunned at all as we all were-- almost paralyzed-- on that day. But, I remember John's feeling that I hope he goes, I hope he goes, I hope he goes--quickly.

missus heinz kerry on July 8, 2004:

KING: Where were you on 9/11?

KERRY: I was in the Capitol. We'd just had a meeting -- we'd just come into a leadership meeting in Tom Daschle's office, looking out at the Capitol. And as I came in, 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. And then word came from the White House, they were evacuating, and we were to evacuate, and so we immediately began the evacuation.

HEINZ KERRY: You walked out with John McCain, didn't you?

KERRY: Yes.

KING: You and what?

HEINZ KERRY: He and John walked out together.

KING: He and John McCain walked out..

Kerry, NOT Bush, paralyzed by 9/11 attacks
Hear Kerry admit he could not think
WHY JOHN KERRY IS DANGEROUS FOR AMERICA

ATLANTA - Thursday Senator John Kerry criticized President Bush for his immediate reaction to the 9/11 attacks on America soon after Michael Moore's use of the footage in Fahrenheit 911. Addressing minority journalists in DC, Mr. Kerry said he would have moved into action much faster than the President on that morning.

Kerry said, "Had I been reading to children and had my top aide whispered in my ear, 'America is under attack,' I would have told those kids very politely and nicely that the president of the United States had something that he needed to attend to -- and I would have attended to it."

In the same interview with Larry King on July 8th where Kerry claimed "I haven't had time" to be briefed on new security threats, he told King what he did that horrible morning....

KING: Where were you on 9/11?

KERRY: I was in the Capitol. We'd just had a meeting -- we'd just come into a leadership meeting in Tom Daschle's office, looking out at the Capitol. And as I came in, 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. And then word came from the White House, they were evacuating, and we were to evacuate, and so we immediately began the evacuation.

HEINZ KERRY: You walked out with John McCain, didn't you?

KERRY: Yes.

KING: You and what?

HEINZ KERRY: He and John walked out together.

KING: He and John McCain walked out..
..

 

The second plane hit the WTC at 9:03 AM and the plane crashed into the Pentagon at 9:43 AM. For a period of 40 minutes Mr. Kerry did nothing because "nobody could think".

Conversely, the President did think. It took the President seven minutes to vault into action while his staff was preparing his departure. Those were seven minutes the Secret Service had to secure an alternate route for the Presidential motorcade and Air Force One, seven minutes to make the executive decision to ground all aircraft, and seven minutes to make the decision to issue orders to shoot down any aircraft that failed to comply.

Kerry's immediate response was not to check on his family, not to check on any of his Boston constituency where some attack planes originated, not to inquire if the attack was continuing, and for at least 40 minutes he didn't call any federal agency to see where he could be of help. In fact, he waited for 40 minutes to be told what to do.

Since he is not the President, Kerry would know nothing of what emergency protocols were in place for that day. The President did indeed "attend to it" after the proper protocols had been initiated. He simply did not alarm the children and teachers at that the moment he was informed.

Bush 7 - Kerry 40

ot even the scene conjured up on Larry King Live by the little missus, Kerry's (purportedly) calm exit from the Capitol with the macho John McCain, can erase the image of John Kerry's limp-wristed ineffectualness on the morning of 9/11, an image offered up on national TV by none other than the limp-wristed, ineffectual Mr. Kerry, himself.

Even so, missus heinz kerry's McCain maneuver was far more effective than the silly tack taken Moore or less by hubby -- projecting his 9/11 limp-wristed ineffectualness onto the president, a man known far and wide as anything but....

KERRY PARALYSIS

On the morning of 9/11, the president initiated critical action immediately after the first attack, while John Kerry, by his own admission, sat like lump for almost an hour, paralyzed, unable to think or act, watching helplessly as two planes plowed into the WTC and one plowed into the Pentagon.

Paralysis in the face of major attack calls into question Kerry's famous "gut"... and his "guts," as well.

How is kerry unfit for office? Let me count the ways....


ADDENDUM:

It is my calculation that kerry was paralyzed for no less than 58 minutes,
i.e., from the first attack at 8:45 to the Pentagon attack at 9:43.

I suspect he was still in a state of paralysis during the evacuation after the Pentagon hit,
even if McCain did hold his hand.

Indeed, by any objective measure, john kerry seems to be in a congenital state of paralysis especially when it comes to our national security .

I'm sure he won't. He'll be running his boat 5000 meters (nearly 3 miles) away at the first sign of trouble.

NO.....He just will sit in a stupor for 40 mins and wait until he is told to evacuate the building.

Per his interview with Larry King

Awesome post. I wrote to kerry's camp earlier today and mentioned I would take six minutes of "My Pet Goat" over forty minutes of "what's got your goat?" every time.

We should never for an instant forget that John Kerry is sprung from the loins of the bastard-offspring of the Communist Party of America's and Socialist International's self-annointing, self-appointing and self-perpetuating un-and-anti-American Alger-HisState Department Brahmanas.

This ugly, evil, brainless bastard may well be the Rich/Soros sleeper who makes evil's Peking/Armand Hammer Cli'ton/Gore manifestation look like happenstance.
