Why do the FAR left bag on Bush about "My Pet Goat"?

Question

Are they jealous that he can read a book well beyond their capacity or did they want him to create a panic in a room full of kids and bash him for that or is it something else?

Another intelligent liberal answer from the troll down there, well, I guess that answers my question. Doesn anyone want to comment?

So when exactly did we know for certain it was a large scale terrorist attack again? Bush found out after the second plane had hit.

Answer 1

I do know one time he said his favorite childhood book was "the Furry Caterpillar". That book apparently wasn't published until he was 19. Regardless of where you stand, that is pretty funny. But yeah, "My Pet Goat" has nothing to do with anything.

Answer 2

He couldn't have left the room without creating a panic? And it didn't occur to anyone that the rest of the country might have been concerned that the President wasn't doing anything when we were under attack? Did he and his handlers think that maybe the plane flying into the WTC wouldn't make the news, so if he just kept reading, the kids would never find out? Or did they prefer that the kids think the President of the United States felt it was more important to read a book to kids than to actually run the country in a time of crisis?

I've generally given him the benefit of the doubt on this one, though. I'm sure there were some pretty big words in the book, and the pictures were interesting, otherwise he would have finished it faster.

Answer 3

As President of the United States, Bush should have done the responsible thing and attended to a clearly horrific crisis that was taking place.

He could have graciously excused himself and said that he had to attend to important, pressing business without upsetting the children. A sensible person could have responsibly handled that situation with calm and dignity. Instead, we know what he did.

Answer 4

I fault him for not leaving, as should we all.

The immediacy of the crisis on 11 September was more important than finishing a book with some schoolchildren; the school visit could have been rescheduled.

Answer 5

Thinking Americans fault him for surrendering US air space to 19 maniacs with box cutters for 2 hours.

Answer 6

"Kids, I've got to go. I can't tell you why. You'll find out shortly. But I have a job to do."

We bag on him because he didn't do his job that day. Al Gore's job, actually.

Ironic: Since he got off his lazy @$$ and left that room, he has spent the last 6 years trying to scare us and treating us like children.
