A great day

[Keystone Phil]

And please don't come with the 9/11 BS...

A major event and the response is "BS?"

And please don't come with the 9/11 BS...

A major event and the response is "BS?"

Yes, correct. Bush isn't a good president because he said some nice words and quoted the bible after 9/11.

Ok, you knew I meant the other responses to the attacks.

Not necessarily but even so, that doesn't make it something that is worthy of approval?

But in what way was 9/11 a positive accomplishment of Bush? 

US gets attack; 1,000s die... and Heckav' job Bushie???

The response to 9/11. You knew what I meant.

[Keystone Phil]

So let me get this straight, Bush is a good president because 9/11 happened? Unless you can say how other Presidents would have reacted differently (other than the bible quoting), that's basically what you're saying.

For probably the fourth time now, I have clearly said I approve of his response to 9/11. How the hell do you conclude that I think Bush was a good President because 9/11 happened when I literally said that wasn't the case? My point is just because other Presidents would have responded the same way doesn't mean his response isn't worthy of approval.

How this is better than Obama is mind boggling.   
But then again the American people re-lected this asshat.

Yes, he should have got up, ran out of the room and did...eh...did what exactly during those seven minutes? What would have happened differently?

[Keystone Phil]

He should have gotten up and acted like President.  You are claiming his response to 9/11 was so great.  Well there it was -- his response to an attack on this country is to just sit there.

"Acted like the President" and did what? There was more to the response than this but I know how his haters like the latch on to trivial matters.

No, it doesn't make me angry. I'm still waiting to find out what he would have done differently in those seven minutes that would have stopped Americans from dying. On the other hand, if he just stood up and walked out or explained why he had to leave, it would have been "Look how he traumatized those kids!"

Funny how you want to talk about responding. How long did the current President take to respond to that little oil spill in the Gulf?

[Keystone Phil]

Obama's supporters don't use Obama's response to the oil spill as one of his major accomplishments.

That has nothing to do with what I'm saying. He wants to complain about response time between Bush and Obama and I provided an example of Obama doing a far worse job.

Bush had nothing to do with the decisions made after 9/11? For whatever idiotic reason, you think that someone doing something that is worthy of praise is meaningless because someone else would have done the same. Mind bogglingly stupid.

[Keystone Phil]

Trivial matters?  The event of 9/11 is now to you a trivial matter.  Fascinating.

No, making an issue out of his seven minutes of reading a book is trivial. Don't bother responding if you're going to debate like a child.

So what should he have done that would have made an immediate difference.

Again, what national security decisions would have been made in those seven minutes that weren't made afterwards that would changed things?

I know. It wouldn't have stopped his haters from using it though!

...

Wow. James Carville, that evil Republican operative, would like to have a word with you.

[Keystone Phil]

I am not debating like a child.  These are the seven minutes after planes struck the world trade center and before one had struck the Pentagon.  I don't consider what the President, any President, was doing during an attack on the country to be trivial.

Still waiting on something Bush would have done that would have had a different impact. Otherwise, yes, it's a trivial complaint.  

You must be logged in to read this quote.

But he ended up making decisions afterwards and we have the result. So, again, what could have been done that would have brought about a different result?

Of course you don't have a specific decision that you wanted made during those seven minutes. Further proof that this is trivial.
