Paul,
I am a sound
engineer in Sarasota, Florida. Last night I was working an
event
for a program called "Let's Roll into Reading", put on by students
at
a local school to honor the heroes (firemen, police, etc.) who
had been
reading to school kids over the last few months. After
the program, I had
the opportunity to talk with Principal Gwen
Rigell of Booker Elementary
school for about twenty minutes. It
was quite an interesting conversation. I
asked her if in fact the
President had been watching the events of 9-11
unfold on TV
before he went into that classroom and she told me
"Absolutely
not." There was no TV in the corridor or anywhere
near that classroom (not
to mention that the footage he allegedly
saw didn't even exist at the time).
She said that he knew from
his people that the first plane had hit and was
told by Andy Card
during his time in the classroom about the second plane.
After he
left the classroom, he was whisked into another classroom
(their
green room if you will) where they had a TV. However, this
was the first
opportunity he had to see any footage.
Why would
he go to such great lengths to make up a story, complete
with
details about what he was feeling while watching this TV,
not once but
twice? And why did he sit there as long as he did,
knowing that not one but
two planes had just struck?
It's sad
that the picture that was plastered all over the programs
and
banners last night was of our Commander in Chief sitting on
his ass reading
children's books while our country suffered as it
did. That is the picture I
will always
remember.
Thanks,
