George Walker Bush will be remembered in America by a man who mobilized an entire nation to defeat evil on the other side of the globe. A man that created so much hype and fear that if you didn’t have an American flag magnet on your car you were looked at as an outsider to the united people of America. There was a sense of unity that had not been seen in a long time, a belief in the American people that was good and true. Something all American big and tall, old and young, could associate with. The American people looked to their leader with unwavering support in going to Afghanistan to defeat evil and stomp the terrorist threat.
I watched the 9/11 address the nation and listened to the partially incoherent although somewhat convincing speech that President Bush gave to the anxious nation. These people needed information and in my opinion he gave the people of America no wise words of advice, comfort or strength. He read his words of his teleprompter like a deer in the headlights. You can tell in the video that he is very nervous and uncomfortable. He blinks his eyes whenever he is about to say another word and in between. He almost looks as though he has no clue what he is talking about. He shows no emotion in his face, and looks at you as if he was trying to hypnotize you and just barely cracks a smile towards the end of the clip.
The address is very short and dry and does not motivate me to do anything. I have a hard time taking him seriously for the simple fact that he smiled during the address. Thousands of people have perished. Business workers pedestrians, firefighters, policemen and other brave men and women died in the chaos. A cloud of smoke rose over the city, leaving the nation in chaos and pure amazement. As they turned toward their leader and gave him their undivided attention while he smiles and seems to laugh to himself during his speech.
