Bush 'comfortable' with handling of plane scare
President approves decision not to immediately tell him

WASHINGTON - President Bush said Tuesday he was comfortable with the way an airplane scare was handled in the nation’s capital earlier this month, including the decision not to interrupt his bike ride and immediately notify him about the incident.

No matter that his wife, first lady Laura Bush, has said he should have been told at once by his Secret Service detail. “Here’s the way it is,” he told a news conference in the Rose Garden. “She often disagrees with me.”

A small plane strayed into restricted airspace over Washington on May 11, setting off emergency evacuations of the Capitol, parts of the White House and the Supreme Court. Mrs. Bush was taken to a secure location in the White House complex during the scare


“Obviously, we do have a protocol in place to be able to deal with a situation that can unfold very rapidly,” Bush said at a news conference in his first direct remarks on the incident. “And certainly I was comfortable about the decisions of the people around me up there in Maryland. Anytime a situation like this comes up, people are constantly reviewing the situation. I was very comfortable with the decision they made.”

Our prez is declaring that he is comfortable not being in the loop during a state of emergency. Then who is our commander and chief then?

[liberal N proud]

1. The key the is the words "the decision THEY made"

Proves he is a do nothing president and someone else is in charge of our government.

2. Even if they did tell him,

he would've just kept on riding his tri-cycle with that "deer caught in headlights" look on his stupid face.

3. An inspired leader for pod people and bushbots.

Really interesting that even the stepford * wife disagrees with him.

"I promise to protect and defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic" has ZERO meaning for bush or the minions that manipulate him!

4. Yeah really

The people deserve to know where their CIC/president is in a crisis. Isn't he suppoesd to do something? Give some orders or whatnot?

5. "She often disagrees with me"

Translation: "Fuck what she thinks".

9. Unless that is to get people thinking that she is different from him

so if they did run her for Prez, all those who would normally vote Repub but can't stand him would think she's the opposite?

6. Sorry, I just have to correct you...

The quote was actually more like "uhh...Obviously, we do have eh umm protocol in place to ...be able to...to deal with a situation that can...rapid...unfol...unfould very rapidly"

7. * can barely speak. It's painful to listen to him try to say anything.

Welcome to DU Canadiana! :hi:
