Monday, December 9

We planned when and how we take our semester test. We then watched a video on 9-11.

1. What was President Bush doing when he heard of the attacks?

He was reading to a group of Kindergarteners. The plan was to highlight education reform. "A second plane has hit the second tower. America is under attack."

2. According to President Bush, what is the first thing a leader needs to do for the country in times of crisis?

The first thing they have to do is project calm, because if he isn't calm, no one is. His job is to protect people.

3. Why did the Secret Service refuse to allow President Bush to go back to Washington D.C. right away?

4. What did the US government/military do to ensure another attack did not occur?

5. Why was President Bush sent to Offutt Air Force Base in Omaha?

6. Why did President Bush eventually insist on going back to Washington D.C. later that day against the will of the Secret Service?

7. What was the point of President Bush's message to the nation on the evening of 9-11?

8. Why did President Bush decide not to blame the CIA/FBI for not doing their job?

9. How did President Bush feel when he heard that Osama bin Laden had been killed?
