So what, you think Al Gore or John Kerry would have handled the issue in the same way as Bush? Our country gets attacked, thousands of civilians die and you call it non-issue for the commander-in-chief?

You're about as ignorant as Raptor!

Like I said, local and state officials control my world, but I am sure you are one of those whiners that complain about everything and blame everything on the president just because you are a loser.

You are young...and very immature. If you are to believe that it makes NO difference to your life who is in office...you are completely mistaken. Here is one example that could have changed your life dramatically. One night in 1962 I asked my Dad if Russia was going to send missles towards the US. He said, " I don't know Son". You see, if Kennedy had not been as assertive as he was, there might have been all out nuclear war. You think Johnson would have accomplished the same thing?

For 444 days Iran held US hostages in captivity. Carter was a wussy (and still is) and just kept saying,"you had better release those hostages, or I'll, I'll, I'll do something". He didn't do squat. Bt then Reagan was elected and Iran knew he didn't mess around. The hostages were released within a few days. Have I made it clear to you that it DOES make a difference in everyones life, who is in office. Whether they know it or not.

Read that last sentence again Ford#1.

People that are as dumb as you should not post. You obviously cannot read. Instead of skimming through it, next time read it. But that may be a challenge for you..

For about a decade before that date there were several terrorists attacks on American interests here and abroad that were considered law enforcement issues and were basically ignored as a threat to our country.
I replied by saying that if the Government knew 10 years before 9/11 that there were threats ignored by the President, it would have been ignored by Clinton and Bush Sr. This being said that a Democrat and a Republican ignored the threats. This in return saying that who do you vote for or what difference does it make when both parties failed to do anything about this??, Is this a little clearer for you speed reader??

The seven dwarfs always left to go work in the mine early each morning.
As always, Snow White stayed home doing her domestic chores.

As lunchtime approached, she would prepare their lunch and carry it to the mine.

One day as she arrived at the mine with the lunch,
she saw that there had been a terrible cave-in.
Tearfully, and fearing the worst, Snow White began
calling out, hoping against hope that the dwarfs had somehow survived.

'Hello!...Hello!' she shouted. 'Can anyone hear me? Hello!'

For a long while, there was no answer.
Losing hope, Snow White again shouted,
'Hello! Is anyone down there?'

Just as she was about to give up all hope,
she heard a faint voice from deep within the mine, singing . . ...
'Vote for Barack Obama! - Vote for Barack Obama!'
Snow White fell to her knees, crossed herself and prayed,
'Oh, thank you, God! At least Dopey is still alive...

I understood exactly what you said (as pointless as it was... as of the morning of 9/11/01 it no longer mattered who allowed the attack to happen, what was important was how were we going to respond), however, my point remains as valid as the first time I said it.

Do you think Al Gore or John Kerry would have handled the issue in the same way as Bush? You repeatedly say that it does not matter who the president is, I've given one example that unequivocally shows how much of a difference it can make. Others here have given many other examples.

Of course it would have been nice if the attacks never happened, but they did. That instantly made it (arguably) the most important event during Bush's presidency. What sheltered world do you live in? It's obviously it's not the real world or else you wouldn't be saying stupid stuff like "If people would have been doing their job, this could have been avoided. Non issue for a president."

Grow up, or shut up.
