I see way too many questions on here referencing the book he was reading. It was an elementary level book meant for a group of ELEMENTARY students. What was he supposed to read to them? The latest Tom Clancy novel? Come on, already, this is ridiculous. Of everything that happened that day, this is probably one of the most insignificant. Your thoughts?
BTW - can we at least TRY to remain civil?

golden-I am simply trying to understand why this information is important. If you look at several of the previous questions tonight alone, you will see I am not perpitrating it, just looking for clarification.

29character - I am with you. Until I started seeing it on this site, I didn't even know he was reading to the class. I thought he was just visiting. I didn't even understand all the "My Pet Goat" references.

He was reading the book, I must have not been paying close attention to the news broadcasts. IN all honesty I thought he was simply visiting the classroom.

At first I found it highly symbolic. The President of the country being attacked by murderous terrorists was busy reading a kids book to 1st graders. Having done my share of reading to classes, it is a wonderfully kind and meaningful thing for the President of a super power nation to be caught doing. A perfect counter point to the Taliban nation supporting Bin Laden.
However, his response after being informed of the attack bordered on retarded. It was painful to watch our leader sit there without a clue as to what to do. How could he have not left quickly and with the sort of purpose an act of war demands?
It got worse as I learned about how he and his team had not been able to "connect the dots" leading up to 9/11. It happened on his watch and right in front of his eyes.
It is plain that the stupid and non-responsive reaction to the news was his normal mind set. He really is a clueless puppet with a radio set inside his jacket, incapable of reaching a rational decision on any topic. World leaders like him will inevitably end up warring because they can't see any original way out.
Only 654 days, 23 hours, and 41 minutes until he is out of office:

It's not what he was reading ... It was that he continued reading it.
The appropriate thing to do would have been to say,
"Oh guess what children, I have very much enjoyed my visit with you here today, but I have to go take care of some President Business. Be cool and Stay in School. Mrs. Teacher would you take the book, please. Thank you. Good-bye."
And then LEAVE. It would have been the GrownUp thing to do ... and certainly the Presidential thing to do.
That he continued reading a children's book (and not too well at that) was Idiotic ... Making fun of the book title is just a way of poking fun at how surreal it all was!

It was the only one big enough to hold the mercury switch that detonated the explosives in Tower 7. How many times do the C.T.'s have to tell you. He turned it upside down and triggered the explosive. Don't you ever read Nancy. She knows. He was reading to children. What do they want Shakespeare

you're right a more important question is why was WTC 7 never mentioned in the 9/11 [c]Ommission report?
Why does Bush have the border wide open during the war on terror??
While he jails border agent Ramos and Campean for shooting a Mexican drug dealer evading American law enforcement with almost a 1/2 ton of weed
Bank of NY is giving bank account to illegal aliens with no SS #??
Why did Bush sign the SPP {www.spp.gov}
without Congressional approval???
Why did he push through thePatriot Act without congressional approval??
Did Bush swear an oath to uphold the Constitution or did he swear an oath to the sacred UN charter like his "poppy" did in 1992.
Thanks buddy as long as you know you can never win debating facts on Bush.
His grandad Prescott funded the Nazis through Guaranty Trust when he worked for Brown Bros Harriman during WWII ??
These are all documented facts .

EDIT:
I realized my answer was somewhat vague down below there. What I was getting at was the "civility" issue. I can be civil, but not all are. And no, the actual title of the book is meaningless. What is disgusting is that when he heard a plane crashed into the WTC, he didn't appear to ask for more information. Just sat there like a deer in headlights.
I can, but I get tired of "questions" like this:

It is ironic and funny, you know 'cause Bush is such an ineffective speaker who does not project such a great intellect. It is a little amusing. But your right, it doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter one bit and haters are not civilized enough to acknowledge that he was in a classroom full of children. How they can criticize him for monitoring via his earpiece without alarming the children is beyond me.

It wasn't meant for even elementary students; it was meant for kindergärtners! I don't get it either, but then that's a lib or better yet a conspiracist for ya.
