The only source to describe what happened next is Fighting Back by Bill Sammon. Publishers Weekly described Sammon's book as an "inside account of the Bush administration's reaction to 9-11 [and] a breathless, highly complimentary portrait of the president [showing] the great merit and unwavering moral vision of his inner circle." [Publisher's Weekly, 10/15/02] Sammon's conservative perspective makes his account of Bush's behavior at the end of the photo-op all the more surprising. Bush is described as smiling and chatting with the children "as if he didn't have a care in the world" and "in the most relaxed manner imaginable." White House aide Gordon Johndroe, then came in as he usually does at the end of press conferences, and said, "Thank you, press. If you could step out the door we came in, please." A reporter then asked, "Mr. President, are you aware of the reports of the plane crash in New York? Is there anything...", But Bush interrupted, and no doubt recalling his order, "DON'T SAY ANYTHING YET," Bush responded, "I'll talk about it later." But still the president did not leave. "He stepped forward and shook hands with [classroom teacher] Daniels, slipping his left hand behind her in another photo-op pose. He was taking his good old time. ... Bush lingered until the press was gone." [Fighting Back: The War on Terrorism - From Inside the Bush White House, by Bill Sammon, 10/02, p. 90]

what's bush gonna do? you expect him to run off and go to some undisclosed location? you expect him to run off and put a halt to all the chaos a few hundred miles away? what else is he gonna do from florida? he has no idea who's attacking him, what the motive is, or any other detailed events. if he knew, the football would have been used.

I have a hard time believing that he knew it was an attack at that moment. When someone first told me, I was like "Wow, that sucks". Not until I went home and turned on the TV did I realize what a big deal it was.

his attendant wasn't telling him "there's been a crash"
Card told him "america is under attack". The SS knew that there were 'terrorists' in the air - that's why they rushed Cheney to his bunker.
what would i expect Bush to do? haul ass someplace safe. as it's pointed out on the site, any terrorist could have known where the Prez would be that morning, and don't you think he'd be a target?
hmm.
