Before the President goes ANYWHERE, the Secret Service scope out the entire location... what's the fastest exit out of there, where is the closest hospital, etc... they do that for a reason. To protect the President... it didn't look as if they were too concerned about his well-being.
You can hear what Stanley Hilton had to say about this...

Of course, none of what he said has ever been verified, or made public the evidence he "supposedly" has... so take it with a grain of salt.
Also, the president is hardly every on t.v. or doing p.r. (especially before 9/11 when he was a lame duck). So the odds that he's infront of a camera while America get's attacked are slim to none. And the way that dude wispered in his ear that were being attacked and the look on his face seems a lot like good p.r.
He nods his head in acknowledgement, so he understood completely what was going on. The lack of action can ONLY mean one of two things. He didn't know what to do, or he knew what was going on, and sat there like a President who ordered the attack. He sat there, and received the "word" from Andrew Card.Originally Posted by PhilosophyGenius
For instance... let's say the President was sitting at an expensive dinner with a lot of friends, and plans were in the works for a "military strike" in some remote location. This "military strike" was taking place during the dinner. After the success of the strike, an aide of the President informs him of the success of the "military strike" by whispering in his ear, "Success", or something like that. He would nod, and continue his dinner...

I would compare the look on his face and the nod to say, doing something of serious consiquence and knowing there's no turning back.
-For instance in a mafia movie, the boss orders his best friend to be wacked for the greater good of the family. The look on his face would be, upon hearing that the job was done, is "okay, so it's done, it had to be" or "there's no turning back, what's done is done". That's the look he had on his face, maybe a little bit of judement as well. But he knew what he had ordered is what's best for the family.
-And as Bill Maher has said, anyone who hears that the country has been attacked would have immediatly gotten up, for curisiosity if nothing else. He probably wanted people to see his expression to make sure that they know he's sincere so he wouldn't look guilty of anything.
Realistically, if they knew terrorists were hijacking planes and flying them into buildings, they should have evacuated at least 10 blocks around that school. Remember, there were young kids in that school, they purposefully put those kids in danger if it was a real terrorist attack and should be sued by the parents.
However, it was definitely a photo op to try to make Bush look surprised and concerned, however, when you break protocol it becomes instantly suspicious. Remember they supposedly whisked Cheney away immediately after the attacks began, that is what was supposed to happen.
Again, because of the delayed flight, their plan backfired. The two towers should have been hit almost simulateously. The second tower was hit about a half hour after the first. Flight 175 was delayed for about a half hour.
-Card whispering in Bush's ear that the country is under attack and not take him away is suspicious. I mean if I worked for the president and the country is under attack. You tell him and then get him the hell out of there so he could do something about it or get briefed. Either that or you wait until the story is over then whisk him away. Telling him the country is under attack and then letting him sit there for 7 mins is pointless.
-Didn't know one of the flights was delayed. Image how horrrible for them it would be if the attacks were botched. Like one of the explosives prematurley denated or something. Man, that would really suck for them
