Bush: Mr. Duhhhhhhhh

President Bush: Mr. Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
by Larry S. Rolirad

What would you do in a crisis situation?

What if you were aboard a plane that crashed on takeoff? Would you just sit in your seat reading a children's book while the plane was burning and people needed help?

What if you were in your living room watching cartoons with your young children and a neighbor came to your door yelling your older child is drowning in your backyard pool? Would you just sit there with your young children for seven minutes so you wouldn't scare them and allow your other child to drown?

What if you were a fireman playing cards at the fire station and you heard the fire alarm go off? Would you continue playing cards for another seven minutes or would you react to the alarm and go do what you were trained to do?

Imagine yourself as a platoon leader in a combat zone with enemy soldiers starting to advance on your position. Would you just sit in your foxhole reading letters from home and ignoring all of the men in your platoon while the enemy overtook you?

And finally, what if you were the president of the United States sitting in a classroom full of young kids looking at a children's color book and were told a second plane had crashed into the second World Trade Center building in New York? Remember, that you were already told that there had already been an aircraft that crashed into the first WTC building. Would you just sit on your stool looking dumbfounded and glance at a child's book for seven long minutes? This really happened and is well documented in Michael Moore's film, Fahrenheit 9/11.

And remember, Bush didn't know if there were two, four, ten, fifty or a hundred hijacked planes being flown by terrorists to their targets. And by remaining in that classroom, Bush was putting everyone in the school in grave danger. Terrorists could have been flying a commercial airliner or driving a Ryder truck full of explosives to blow up the school. And the secret service would not have been able to stop a plane traveling at 600 miles per hour or a truck driving at 70 miles per hour. By remaining in that classroom, Bush put the students, teachers, and parents in great danger.

Bush's sitting on a stool in a Florida classroom doing nothing for seven minutes during a national crisis was the most damning indictment against him for his complete lack of competence as president of the United States, or any position of leadership. Even after Andrew Card walked into the classroom and told Bush that a second aircraft had hit the second WTC building, Bush did absolutely nothing for seven long, excruciating minutes. It is obvious that Bush has to have someone to tell him what to do and what to say. He is obviously just a puppet with his strings being pulled by those who bought his political offices for him. In a rare unfiltered situation, Bush certainly demonstrated that he was definitely no leader. Bush certainly took no initiative. He certainly did not act as a president, or as any real leader, should.

Like Bush, the ancient Roman emperor Nero is also said to have been indifferent to catastrophe. While Rome burned, Nero played a violin while watching the flames. Like Bush, Nero took no action to stop Rome from being destroyed. Bush certainly walks in the same footsteps of the very cruel emperor Nero, who was so cruel he had his wife and mother killed. Nero also kicked his mistress to death while she was pregnant.

Bush is obviously unfit for the office he holds. He has never exhibited any leadership capabilities at any time during his entire life and I challenge any reader to cite even one instance in Bush's life where he has demonstrated any leadership abilities. There can be no excuses for Bush's complete lack of action during the biggest attack against the United States since Pearl Harbor. It is time for George W. Bush to resign from the presidency. He is a national embarrassment.
