This bull-shit about President Bush running around the country on 9/11 makes me sick.

On December 7, 1941, the United States was attacked by the Japanese at Pearl Harbor. Approximately 2,500 Americans were killed and much of our Navy was destroyed. We didn't hear a damned thing from our President - Franklin Delano Roosevelt - until the next day, when he appeared before the Congress.

Where was FDR for 24 hours? Was he ashamed to appear before the American people (we did have radio you know) because he had set Pearl Harbor up?

Are you sure? I was under the impression that he made the announcement that afternoon (some ballgames had the announcement), which, considering the time zones, wasn't long after it happened. I could be wrong.

Private prayer: Lord, please forgive me for defending Franklin Roosevelt, a prime destroyer of the Republic.
