    I brought up Bush’s reaction as an example of leadership failure, to highlight how tone-deaf it is for leaders to act indifferent in a crisis, regardless of the reason. And it’s ironic you’re resorting to ad hominem attacks about my intelligence when that’s the weakest form of argument.

      So, you still don’t understand why it wouldn’t be appropriate to react strongly in a room full of kids is what you’re saying.

      It’s not an ad hominem when calling out your inability to comprehend the reason for that is the entire point to my comment. It highlights a severe deficiency in your social awareness at the bare minimum, which doesn’t reflect well on your ability to discern the motives of other people online.

      Fine, let’s put that aside. In your eyes, what would have been an appropriate response for Bush to take in that situation? This ought to be entertaining.
