Here's a nice article on Captain Crusader Bunnypants
<snip>
A leader marches to the sound of the guns. George Washington, Robert E. Lee or Napoleon would have done that. Rudy Giuliani did do that. After the first plane struck the Twin Towers, he went immediately to the World Trade Center and helped supervise emergency efforts there. But what exactly did George W. Bush do?
<snip>
Did Bush march to the sound of the guns? Did he go to New York where his presence would have been the symbol of a nation unbowed? No. Instead, at about 10:40 a.m., when Air Force One picked up a fighter escort near Jacksonville, Bush accepted Cheney’s advice not to return immediately to Washington.
<snip>
Only late in the day did the president return to the East coast. He stepped onto White House grounds at about 7:00 that evening. Three days after the attacks President Bush finally went to New York. This sorry record is not one of steady leadership, nor does it show a decisive president willing to override poor advice.
