His instinct, apparently, was to sit still in a kindergarten classroom and wait for his aides to come up with something.

Do you think the aides were trying to fact gather during the 10 minutes, or were they out back smoking? The President is generally told information, do you expect him to be working the radio? This is an absurd point.
