There is no actionable intelligence anywhere to be found in the Bush administration.

RE: "I'm sure it was the secret service that had him seek some shelter." - intn1

The Secret Service ordered Condi Rice to run away and hide on 9/11, like Bush and Cheney. She refused, and remained in her office in Washington DC, aware that at times like that our leaders should have more on their minds than their own physical safety.

Did President Eisenhower ever hide in an armored vehicle to escape a thunderstorm ? Did Woody Allen ever do that ?

(Maybe it was the two Scottish Terriers that ordered the commander-in-chief to hide in an armored vehicle during the storm. Those dogs won't hunt.)

When I was about 8 years old in Michigan I saw a tornado from the basement window of our farm. I didn't know it at the time but it was headed for the small town of Burnips, Michigan where it would kill a young mother and her infant child by flattening their house trailer down to less then a foot tall, with them in it. That was tragic, but not as much as the fact that the one in Texas yesterday missed George W. Bush. That a mother and child should have died nearly 40 years ago is still sad compared to the fact that Bush didn't meet a similar fate yesterday.

Well at least for an atheist like me it's proof that there is no god, because if there was he wouldn't have missed that bast*ard!

Too bad, he'd be right at home in Oz. Picture this, Laura the 2 dogs and the scarecrow looking for a brain following the yellow brick road KBR built to the pipeline pump station. There'd be no brain for him there, but dumbya would finally find oil without the Saudi's pumping it into the ground behind the curtain for his drilling rig to strike. Oh well, at least the dogs are safe.

All his hot air combined with his famous ability to spin anything might have finally developed to the point that it appeared on Doppler radar. He may have been practicing his speech explaining that staying the course is now the new way forward, not just staying the course.

During Vietnam we had a phrase for "men" like Bush. Gutless wonders. It fit him then and now. The "man" is one of the biggest cowards on two feet.

I'm sure it was the secret service that had him seek some shelter. Tornado watches can turn to warnings in seconds and without warning. It's intelligent to get somewhere safe.

As for that crazy AP-AOL poll, I would want to see the demographics of the people who took the poll. I think the only truly reliable poll is one that surveys anybody old enough to grasp the issue and decide.

RE: "It must be agonizing to go through life so tormented by fear of physical danger as Bush obviously is."

Can you imagine young Dubya in combat on one of those Swift Boats during the Vietnam War ?

The poor guy would have been a section 8 the first week. Total mental collapse.

Only brave men and leaders could go though that experience.

CNN is calling it a tornado watch, not a tornado warning.

As far as I know, no twister had touched down. It was just a reaction to a storm of the type that has produced tornados in the past.

It must be agonizing to go through life so tormented by fear of physical danger as Bush obviously is.

After the 9-11-2001 terrorist attack, when a Bush spokesperson assured the public that Bush, who had gone into hiding, was safe, Newsweek reported that an unnamed Republican Congressman grumbled, "We don't need her to tell us the President is safe. We need the President to tell us America is safe."

RE "Hey George W Bush your not President to Play Hide & Seek Every Time Something Happens Stupid!" - sandy5274

A tornado watch isn't as serious as a tornado warning, where twisters have actually touched down.

A tornado watch just means that conditions are ripe for tornados.

It was a little silly for the man who says over and over again that "I'm not going to lose my nerve" to run off to an armored vehicle during a mere tornado warning.

How many other Texans had access to one of those ?

A President should set a better example of "true Texas grit" than that.

(Maybe he was concerned that if anything happened to him and his Napoleon-like military genius brain, the situation in Iraq would start to get bad.)

Poor President Bush. Tornados are the least of his problems.

In the latest AP-AOL News poll, Bush won the "villain of the year 2006" sweepstakes by a landslide, with one in four respondents putting him at the top of that bad-guy list. When people were asked to name the candidate for villain that first came to mind, Bush far outdistanced even Osama bin Laden, the terrorist leader in hiding; and former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, who is scheduled for execution.

What does it say about him, that one in four Americans rank him worse than Saddam and Osama ? He must be doing something seriously wrong.

How many Americans ranked FDR as worse than Hitler and Tojo during World War Two ?

None. Nobody did.

Oh, come on. It was a tornado, and Bush took shelter in an armored vehicle. How can anyone complain about that? I swear, some people are as eager to blame Bush for anything he does as others are to praise him.
