Teaching common sense to the Haters

It would be hard to imagine a better way for a President to have handled the moment when he received the awful news on 9/11 than the way President Bush in fact handled it. Rushing from the classroom would in no way have enabled him to deal with the situation any better; exposing himself to the possibilty of death by airliner by returning to the White House would have been the act of a fool. Instead, his quiet, calm determination as he finished reading that story to those kids, and his self-possession at a moment of dire crisis, comforted and inspired the whole nation.

Not surprisingly, the Haters (Michael Moore included) fault him for this. But now, Gwendolyn Tose'-Rigell. the principal of the school in question, has shared her take on the President's behavior that day with us.
