You've been around a lot of president's when they were told about the sudden deaths of thousands of their citizens?

I doubt it. > Character revealing moment. See above response :) My wife's workplace doesn't hold 50,000 people, i'm only responsible for HER, not the safety of the rest of the nation, i have no idea right now if the crash is a terrible accident or terrorism.......your analogies just aren't apt, they CAN'T be. 9/11 is a brand spankin' new set of nightmares. I can act immediately because my course is singular and clear: find my wife. If i'm the president, i've got about 500 other considerations i've got to deal with. Criticize the President for his actions in the months and years following the tragedy, i'll be right there with ya....but calling his immediate reaction in the minutes following a "revealing character moment", i just don't think is accurate or fair. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:170941 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
