Something that country needed at that time. I'm sure that who ever he was traveling with, SS, personal aides and such were going absolutely crazy right after the attacks. Plus, you have no idea what was whispered into his ear when they told him about the attacks. It could very well be they told him to stay put, feeling the school was the safest place at the moment.
Lined to to the precise time when the President was supposed to be leaving. Everything had to be changed to fit the schedule because of the earlier exit from the school. Ever watched a President go by in a motorcade? The security is out of this world.
Good leaders also don't jump up and run around screaming. Besides, you really think it was Bush's fault that he had to sit there? Or don't you think that his people told him to stay put until they were sure what was happening?

You are aware I'm sure that their is a happy medium between "sitting still" and "running around screaming".
This is ridiculous. You are saying 2 different things. 1) the security is "out of this world" and 2) they weren't prepared for anything to happen other than what was written in the daytimer
Which is it?
This is really a silly argument. In the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter what he did in that 7 minutes. It was a signature moment though -- he both looked and acted like he was in over his head.
He should be happy that it was caught on camera though because if anyone ever needs absolute proof that he wasn't "in on it" as some of the more suspicious types have hinted, the look on his face in that classroom should be enough to prove it.
