Saturday, May 14, 2005 Bush was Blissfully Unaware... Like Usual Anybody else find this incredibly disturbing?: While the "Cessna Scare" was going on, and the 1st Lady and her guest, former 1st Lady Reagan, and Cheney were whisked away to safe and undisclosed locations... Bush was... riding... his... freakin... BIKE? From WA Post: He was out at the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center in Beltsville, riding his bicycle -- at noon on Wednesday -- blissfully unaware. "The decision was made to inform the president upon conclusion of his bike ride," Bush press secretary Scott McClellan said later. WTF? John Roberts reports on the CBS Evening News: Roberts: "The fact that the President wasn't in danger is one aspect of this. But he's also the Commander-in-Chief. There was a military operation underway. Other people were in contact with the White House. Shouldn't the Commander-in-Chief have been notified of what was going on?" McClellan: "John, the protocols that we put in place after September 11th were being followed. They did not require presidential authority for this situation." Roberts then shows footage of Mike Woods, Bush's biking buddy, who upon his return to the White House yesterday is clearly surprised to hear from a reporter that there was a fuss while they were away. So, 1st McClellan says he didn't know until after his bike ride, but now when asked about when was the prez told about the situation, McClellan lies his ass off! He now says the Prez was told while biking. Was Bush still reading My Pet Goat? Did they simply not want to interrupt Georgie's book time? Or did they tell him when he was on his tricycle? WTF... who is running the F-ing show around here? War President my ass... he was off riding his trike while the adults handled the big people problems... F-ing twit. |
