This was a man in panic and trying to think thru stuff. Bush does have at least two "personal problems" which have "inhibited" him thinking clearly.
One is that he does have a speech impediment and this also extends beyond his ability to get words flowing out of his mouth in a coherrent manner. Associated with that is also an "impediment" in thought processing. This is common with people associated with dyslexia. Think I read some members of his family has a more "pronounced" problem like this?
The other is, - hell, I don't know Bush's "real" background, but he clearly shows the actions of a person subject to "addiction" of some kind. Watch his mouth and the ease at which he can deliver "instant blame" elsewhere, - the sign of an "addict", tho he can't make more rational statements so easily. (ie.. "It was not my fault - it was them")
I suspect what we saw in that classroom was a mind in panic wondering what the hell he should do now. Any rational person would have calmly excused themselves with the children and got their ass outta there damned fast and find out what the fuck is going on.
BTW.. This ain't no "defense" of Bush  I know he is a born liar and no better than a common criminal who, should not be standing within 100 miles of the Oval Office, but in a courtroom standing trial.

Can you possibly comprehend what he must have been thinking at the time?
Unless you're him or, of course, Michael Moore, I think not.
He has just been told of a devastating attack of untold and unheard of proportions in this or any lifetime upon the USA. And HE not you or I, is the "Leader of the free world". Whatever decisions he makes will be up for generations or criticism.
Perhaps he was thinking about all the money spent on his visit to Florida to promote literacy. Perhaps he was thinking about not upsetting all of the children in his presence. Remember, this date would have been remembered for the rest of these children's lives regardless of whether or not those attacks had taken place.
I hazard to guess that if he had up and left or been removed by the secret service, the Michael Moore spin would have been as follows:
-The president wasted these poor peoples tax dollars when all he was doing was preserving his OWN safely (he would have been whisked away to a safe place).
After all, the mayor and governor of NY were already dealing with the situation at hand and were on scene. GWB couldn't do anything immediately. You'd thing he'd have been able to spend 20 minutes finishing reading a book and THEN being taken away.
The sad thing about Michael Moore is not matter what GWB did or would have chose to do he was or would have been in the wrong. That's Michael Moore's agenda and his sheep believe every single word of it without looking at it objectively. That speaks for a great lack of intelligence. End of story.
