It's just sort of a dumb thing. One of those situations where the president should have taken charge and excused himself, but instead just sat there and read a book with kids while his handlers decided what to do. He left when someone in his camp decided it was time for him to go. This is something where you would think that he, knowing that America was under attack, would immediately get the hell out because clearly he is needed elsewhere. It didn't, as it turned out, mean anything that he waited, but at that point for all Bush knew, that attack was just the beginning.
Besides, if the tables were reversed and it were a Democrat who did that, Republicans would be railing against that person too and saying that the president lacked the balls to take charge, typical wussy liberal that he is. Nobody wants a president who waits for their staff to make their decisions for them. Ari Fleischer may have encouraged the president to stay, but the bottom line is that the president is first in the chain of command. What Ari Flesicher said makes absolutely no difference.
If President Bush is so incompetent, and I'm certainly not saying that he isn't, why has the seven minutes become such a centerpiece in the attack on his leadership? Very few people would have immediately reacted to that news, in that setting, any better than President Bush did. Most of those people are ninjas. The rest of the seven-minute critics should find something meaningful to talk about. Certainly President Bush has more flaws; this incident smells more like a foible than a massive inability to lead.
