Actually, I was researching Columbine and my post was made after KMA's was posted. However, I still stand by what I say. This is a snippet from the link that KMA posted.
Quote:
Some American Indians have complained that Bush did not respond publicly to the shooting for four days. Just hours after the shootings at Colorado's Columbine High School that left 15 dead, then-President Clinton publicly expressed his condolences.
Bush's delayed reaction was in contrast to his swift intervention in the Terri Schiavo case. The president interrupted his vacation and hurried to Washington on Sunday to sign legislation allowing federal courts to consider the case of the brain-damaged Florida woman

That the president would cut short his vacation for the Schiavo case, yet can not offer condolences to the families of 8 dead children in the second worst school shooting in our nation's history is STILL sad, in my opinion.
