Whom can we depend on to act in a crisis, Bush or Kerry?





John Kerry's Moment


Kerry's boat ran up to me in the water, bow on, and I was able to climb up a cargo net to the lip of the deck. But, because I was nearly upside down, I couldn't make it over the edge of the deck. This left me hanging out in the open, a perfect target. John, already wounded by the explosion that threw me off his boat, came out onto the bow, exposing himself to the fire directed at us from the jungle, and pulled me aboard.

George Bush's Moment


So what did the Commander in Chief do with the knowledge that the United States was under attack?

He did nothing.

Bush did not say one word. He did not ask Card any questions. He did not give any orders. He did not know who (or which country) was attacking, whether there would be more attacks, what military plans had been taken, what military actions should be taken—indeed, he knew virtually nothing about what was going on outside the room. He just sat there.

An Interesting Day

3. He knew what was happening and who was doing it.
He didn't care. .

4. Bush not very curious
He admitted he never read the newspaper. He hadn't read many books.

Sept 11 ... what a time to start!
