His response to 9/11 was respectable but that's about it. It's hard not to put him in the bottom 5
Wasn't his response to read a children's book, dither and make some speeches namrchecking FREEDOM a lo while dragging out the commission so the dumkopf spooks who allowed terrorists to slip through the cracks all could hurriedly shred their files?
He was at a school doing a PR stunt. Yes, he could of excused himself quietly when he was alerted that the US was under attack but I'm not going to take marks off for not rushing off in a panic. He publically addressed a grieving nation afterwards (including his support to Muslim-Americans despite convert FBI actions) and didn't go in guns-blazing-no-questions-asked Iraq/Viet Nam-style.
I'm not going to defend any of his other actions like the Patriot Act or Iraq but he handled 9/11 fairly competently.
I mean, I hate Dubya as next as the next guy, but where the hell was he supposed to give the address? The top floor of the South Tower?
