  The way he kept calm because he didn’t want to scare the children. You can feel his energy shift and his expressions just shows everything. His expressions just showed every emotion he was going through.

  “A second plane has hit the second tower. America is under attack … and I’m watching a child read.” <br><br>Knowing war is upon you and seeing the innocence of the babies before your eyes. Chilling.

  Imagine being an American citizen, a reporter, hearing your nation is under attack and seeing the president of your nation right in front of you, getting the same message.

  His body language during this is perfect for studying and understanding human behaviour. The rapid change in his train of thought and attitude without saying anything is like night and day

  Oddly as I grow older, I really respect his reaction and calmness here. The whole nation on his shoulder yet he was able to stay calm.

  Younger, I hated how he reacted at that moment. Older, I appreciate the calm he had. He didn&apos;t scare the children and the reality was there was nothing he could do at that very moment that wouldn&apos;t be either automatically done or even possible. If he couldn&apos;t care for those children at that moment, he couldn&apos;t care for the nation either.

  I don&apos;t like his presidency but I like how he handled the situation and I agree that when you are the face of a country you need to remain calm and set the tone
