maybe if Bush was anyone but the president. really, when it comes to matters of national defense, the feelings a few CHILDREN don't matter. He could have excused himself without freaking out the CHILDREN. But you see, that classroom is a metaphor for the whole country. We're all seen as CHILDREN by the elite, by the cops, but the military, all these tax paid servants who are far removed from normal life.
It has been documented that unknown men of middle eastern origin tried to get into Bush's hotel to "interview him" that morning or the night before (I forget exactly). Do you think it is a coincidence Bush was in the same area Atta and his crew had been just days before when these devout muslims were out getting drunk at titty bars??
To answer the original question, I'm sure Obama's masters would have directed him down a similar path.
