I agree - they likely had several options to choose from. I am just saying that I suspect the plan was to keep the Pres. in the securest location, which presumably the school was, until they could determine where to fly AF-1 to. I mean if there were rouge airplanes in the air, that could have taken time to figure out. I am not saying that was the deal - but it is likely. But, I agree, I now think him sitting there was odd.
On edit - I do think it smacks of cowardice though. I mean he portrays himself as the gun slinging wild west cowboy and then he appears to cower in a school while Americans are dying. But, his actions were similar, but IMO worse, when he was called into duty for Nam and instead took the easy way out. What can you expect from a hog but a grunt?
