I would say that the airplanes smashed into the Capitol somewhere around 3:12 of that.
Very illustrative of the man, don't you think?

Let's do some role-playing.
The national security adviser calls the president at three in the morning and tells you a couple of commercial jets have been hijackacked by al Qaeda and are headed toward the Capitol, Matthews asked Obama at West Chester University in Pennsylvania. “What do you do?’’
Me, most of the people reading this, and indeed, most Democrats:
(interrupting) You order those planes shot down, Chris. You immediately order them shot down, and then you go on television to the American people to take responsibility for giving that order, and then you go over to Homeland Security with a meat-ax and fix whatever it was that caused that failure. Because that's all part of the job of the President of the United States of America.
And, frankly, that was a damfool question to even ask me.

I'd be more annoyed that he didn't actually answer the question, except that I no more expected him to do so than I expect to see a real, live unicorn on my way to the bank this morning.

PS: Any bets on how many progressives are just going to pretend that they didn't hear him talk about how nobody could have predicted 9/11?
Yeah, yeah, I know: even they didn't believe it at the time, either. Still.

"and gather up good intelligence."
Mr. President, they're flying directly for the U.S. Capitol in the middle of the night! Hijacked airplanes!
"I will consult with my national security advisor, who will tell me: 'Pahk the cah in havahd yahd, jawbone the terrorists, will it pass the global test?'"
...would listen to that man and think other than "charlatan."
It was blather, but it sher wer purty.
To paraphrase one Michelle Obama: For the first time in my life, I'm actually embarrassed for my country, that a bozo like this has been able to dupe so many people and actually has a shot at the presidency.
You mean you've never been embarrassed before any other bozo has been able to dupe so many people and actually have a shot at the presidency (nay, even a general-election victory)?
:-)
He blathers on about getting good intelligence and decisiveness and does so in the context of dodging a question.
This man will do a lot of damage to our country if he gets elected.

nuisance. Then, after due deliberation, I would decide if the Capitol was to be saved. Oh, it's gone?"
Edward Said must have taught him to say it like that. What a preening poser.
There is just no other conclusion to come to. DOES he EVER answer a question? I can't take these rambling non-answers that he foists upon us while his minions stare open jawed in admiration at his 'nuance'.
The planes would crash by 3:12 as predicted, and Obama would still be discussing what to do 3 months later.
He is a moron.

This dope is no better than she was.

Morally Compromised
I personally believe that I would gather intelligence, such as, to tell the truth, US Americans. And by that we can use intelligence because some US Americans don't have that. I would consult with France and the Germany and everywhere such as. I believe that they should, our intelligence over here in the US should help the US, it should help the France and the Germany and the Asian countries, such as. So we will be able to build up our future.

... because we don't need a second president sitting down looking confused and wondering what to do when terrible news is delivered... I agree with Moe, shoot the planes down, apologize later.
...45 minutes, correct?

PS: Excuse me. :leaning over:
Ptui.
Your words. They just somehow inexplicably showed up in my mouth.

The "give me the bad news first" line is really close to the Dilbert Principle's #8 Lie of Management namely, "We don't shoot the messenger."
By the way, I am so glad that he can get good intelligence just by saying that he wants bad news. What an inexpensive way to reform the intelligence community!
I just wonder whether the poor guy/gal who has to give him his daily Iraq briefs will need to categorize coalition successes as "bad news."
But what if that bad news went like this: Agent Jones approaches Obama, "Sir, please sit down, this file is for your eyes only." Obama clears the room and takes the folder from Jones. It's the worst possible news. Pres. Obama's unbelieving eyes quickly scan the papers. "oh my God"...
Yes, in that folder is something that hasn't been spoken of among Democrats for the entire previous 8 years. It's something George W. Bush did right, and maybe even evidence that B. Clinton's people were asleep at the switch, to boot.
Well, that folder was never seen again. Agent Jones? Never heard of him...
Oh... he did fail. But, it was thought out. Just ask the 2506 Assault Brigade. But, Kennedy just didn't have the cojones to follow through. That is where he failed. And he hung the anti-Castro forces out to dry without air cover.
Obama's answer is a joke.
But, as fas as your response. I agree with most of it, but you just need to abolish the DHS. What a bloated piece of mess that is... Awful.
