Bush's seven minutes, Nixon's eighteen minutes, Obama's seven hours

James Soviero writes at The Independent Sentinel that there is a huge difference in the way Bush and Nixon, on the one hand, and Obama, on the other hand, have been examined on the most significant events of their presidencies. Recall the press treatment of George W. Bush when he stayed in the Florida classroom for seven minutes after he learned that a second plane had crashed into the World Trade Center. Recall the uproar over the 18 and one-half minutes of erased tape by Richard Nixon's secretary. Recall the total lack of examination of Obama's silent night of 9-11-12.
