The reason given for this was that he did not want to alarm the children and was waiting for the appropriate moment to excuse himself. I found this explanation to be perfectly acceptable at the time and nothing has changed.
To suggest that he was more interested in a photo-op than in handling the situation is assinine. It was SEVEN FUCKING MUNITES, for christ's sake. Say what you want to about about Bush, but you cannot deny that he did a hell of a job in rallying the country in the dark days after 9-11. Even liberal asswipe Gerraldo Rivera said 'I'm glad he is my president' on his MSNBC talk show.

I will agree that part of the movie was a bit too biased.. IMO it could have been done with out. I don't think there is anything Bush could have done at that point to stop anything already in progress. But overall the facts in that movie were nothing new to me..
I haven't seen enough information to be able to blame Bush for not acting pre 9-11. But it is a fact the guy was sleeping at the job before 9-11 and then just went full force into his personal agenda afterwords. Instead of uniting a great country, bush instead drove it father apart and down the wrong road.
