It was a day I will never forget as I am sure most others won't either.Wow... I can't imagine what it must have felt like being so close. I mean, the whole world saw it, eventually, and even in real time, but from a safe distance.
Won’t forget where I was or who I was with.It was a day I will never forget as I am sure most others won't either.

Most of what was on TV was the Lamestream Media lambasting the President because he didn't jump up and run out of the room where he was reading to a bunch of little kids, scaring the poop out of them.
That was proof that he was a moron and unfit to be President.
According to to the Democrats and the media there has never been a Republican President that was fit for the job.
Similar fears started running through Mariah Williams' head. "I don't remember the story we were reading — was it about pigs?" says Williams, 16. "But I'll always remember watching his face turn red. He got really serious all of a sudden. But I was clueless. I was just 7. I'm just glad he didn't get up and leave, because then I would have been more scared and confused." Chantal Guerrero, 16, agrees. Even today, she's grateful that Bush regained his composure and stayed with the students until The Pet Goat was finished. "I think the President was trying to keep us from finding out," says Guerrero, "so we all wouldn't freak out."
President George W. Bush is a good man and he was the best leader and the right leader at the time. I believe in fate and destiny. Things happen for a reason. I've seen it too many times in my life to discount it. I also know fully well how our country's response to incidents like this work both then and now and the President taking the 10 extra minutes to compose himself and stay calm and with those kids did more good for our country and also threw up a bigger middle finger to our enemy who perpetrated those cowardly acts than it would have if he would have jumped up and ran out of the room.I remember that, both his reaction and being bashed for it.
He did stay calm and collected, character traits you want in a leader.
Several years later, the kids who were present were glad the president kept reading in that classroom.

The president was on the phone a few minutes later (not sure how long he kept reading).

ATM, Calling ATM!
I just watched that presidential address for the first time today since I couldn't understand English 18 years ago ...
I'm sure many of you remember watching it live on TV at the time.
