He was probably told to stay right there until we can figure out where we want to take you and our pilots are ready to take off. They didn't want him to move until they could give him the best protection possible.

Kerry's a fool. I also believe he is a bit disoriented, i.e., jumps around like a twit with this "big scoop" on how he would handle things IF I WERE THE PRESIDENT.

Notice he continuously puts himself in Bush's shoes and leaves his 17 year old Senate shoes in the closet.

That's exactly what I've thought for a long time, and couldn't figure out why it has never been mentioned. I guarantee you that the people who protect the President told him to sit there for a few minutes until they could get ready to take him where he needed to be. At that point, they didn't know WHAT they were dealing with, they couldn't know that armed gunmen weren't going to storm that school or bomb it, could they?

I have always thought that what you said was part of Andy Card's words to the President.

The 'ratics really do not know how to respond to a national emergency. They only know how to go for the imature playground taunt.
