I have no problem with this at all. What would you want him to do with a room full of children? Insight panic or fear? I would have done my best to give the impression all is fine and under control regardless. Nothing he could have said or done differently would have changed anything that had already taken place. Kinda like if someone you know dies and you are notified. No need to rush anywhere they are going to still be dead when you get there. I promise you will not miss a thing. While I may not be articulating my thought on this that well I understand the action of President Bush and would have done the exact same thing if in his shoes.
Clinton body count:
Clinton Body Count
While this may not be that great of a site the data is valid. There was an insurance company that calculated the odds of knowing the number of people that died from single gunshot wounds to the head that one would know in their lifetime. When they plugged in the Clinton's the number was unreal. I do not remember the actual number. Perhaps a search online could dig up that figure.
