[debate]Why Bush Sucks (or not)[/debate]

I am interested in finding out as to why people hate bush, all I've heard is loads of propaganda, and not even the decent kind stuff that is flamingly bullshit, examplified below.

What did the Commander in Chief do? Nothing. He sat there. He sat for well over 5 minutes, doing nothing while 3,000 people were dying and the attacks were still in progress.

Not only did the leader of the free world sit as his country was attacked, the Secret Service also did nothing. Bush was appearing in public at a previously announced photo-op. He was a sitting duck. The attacks were ongoing at that point (planes had yet to hit the Pentagon or the field in Pennsylvania), and nobody knew how much more destruction was going to happen. Were there two, three, four, eight more planes hijacked and on their way to crash into prominent buildings? Was one headed for the school, where anyone who checked the President's public itinerary would know he was located? Were other terrorists planning to detonate dirty nukes? Were they going to release anthrax or smallpox or sarin? Was an assassination squad going to burst into the school and get Bush? Was a suicide bomber going to ram a truck full of explosives into that classroom?

Ok, this annoys me.

What in fucks name is Bush supposed to do? Wave his magical wand and make it all go away? Call in the police/airforce to push the WTC back in to place? He's not in a position to make important decisions, or leave- as he is in a class of kids, who have been waiting to see the president, and the media- who would be pissed at him for leaving during an important photo shoot...

If he knew about it before, what was he supposed to do? Tell everyone to stop going on planes, kill the airline buisness, and piss off more people, in both political parties? And if he was able to stop the airliners, he'd have to give a damn good reason- and by doing that, you create a national scare, and fuck up the economy anyway- and even worse, it still isn't impossible for them to jack a plane in europe, and fly it over here, or crash it into something over there, and then we have a foreign country pissed off at us.

I'm interested in finding out why everyone hates him so much, there has to be some truth to it...
