Why do people think George Bush was wrong to stay in the school room as the terrorist attacks took place?

I agree with you 100% re: George Bush's reaction to the terrorist attack. Exciting the children would be the worst thing. His reaction to the shoe throwing was also on the mark, but I don't think the man who threw the shoe should have gotten 3 years in prison. And no, I'm sorry I never saw the movie "the Siege". I didn't like Bush as president either but those 2 incidents were (as you stated) impressive. Too bad there weren't more like that.
