I was just pointing out that you posted false information. Bush was originally told that it was a small twin engine plane that crashed into the first tower. He was not told until near the end of the classroom visit that the country was under attack. He was advised not to panic because the press corp was in the back of the room. They were finding out at the same time as him because it was on tv and they were getting cell phone calls. You need to keep in mind that it was being shown on CNN before the FAA even alerted the White House.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
