All I see is a failable Human Being (well he is American) with a dodgy memory and a less than perfect command of English. Sounds like most posters on ATS.
Thing that gets me about the 911 Cultists is that when it suits them they go on about Bush is a liar and don't believe a thing he says.
Then on the other hand if it suits their case they will take Bush quotes word for word and say see he knew already or whatever.

Many words or slip ups coming from officials sources are "admissions".

Bush was asked ""do you know what's going on in New York"? which I would interperate as 'are you aware'? So he said "Yes" because he was aware of the gaping hole in the first WTC tower.
The second plane later hit at 9:03, which he was told of whilst he was in the classroom. It was at this time that he realised that the USA was under attack.
Some are saying "bush left the hotel 10 minutes before the first plane hit". Well if the reporters asked about it then, they knew about it before hand too.
Maybe I'm missing something here

I do find the 11 minute gap a bit interesting, as my buddy Caustic pointed out. Its hard to say definatively if they were making reference to the crash, or to something else happening in New York.
Can anybody find a newsworthy event occuring in New York at about the same time that a reporter would want to ask the President about?
And why does Dubya have the book upside down?

You guys are taking what Bush said out of context. By saying he watched the first "plane crash" on TV, he obviously meant he saw whatever footage was being aired on the news at the time... which was probably shots of the WTC on fire from where the plane hit. Therefore meaning he heard about the first plane crash and saw the damage it did, not necessarily saw the plane actually hit the building lol...

As for the changing of the timeline. Well, it happened at the Pentagon too with slick Dick. He claims he wasn't at the Pentagon when that plane hit yet in the investigation there is witness testimony stating that he was receiving updates as to the location of the plane on it's approach. Hmmmm, but that timeline was changed to make sure it appeared he wasn't even there at the time of impact.
Why is it so bad to question our government on sketchy subjects like this?

Then his first story is that he is told of the events as he was reading in the classroom (which he starts out as describing when Jordan asked him that question). He then changes it from inside the classroom to outside of the classroom where he watched the first plane hit the tower. Okay, let's just say that he simlpy meant that he was watching the news on the tower being hit and that he didnt' actually 'see' the first plane hit. He still changes the story. Then he goes on after saying "we were in the classroom" to we were waiting outside of the classroom and 'obviously there were TVs on'.
Why would they then go on to the school? News casters were already claiming terror attack by then. Why would the president of the U.S. then go to a location in which he is KNOWN to be at? Why would the SS allow it? They wouldn't.

All I can see is the Primary Election in NY for Mayor that was cancelled when the attacks happened. On second thot thot, Rove whispering in Bush's ear wouldn't probably be about this, and my guess is the report is slightly confused, that this episode was after arriving at Booker elementary and so after the first crash, instead of upon leaving the Colony resport.
Mixed up timeline is most likely. If they knew at 8:35 about the plane hijacked and headed to NY, why did the reporter also know and so what does this prove?
And why does Dubya have the book upside down?
(speaking not to you but to everyone) Who knows? Does anyone really think he's so dumb he can't tell the Veep's wife's book with its letters and pictures is upside down? It's a photo op, and maybe he's showing his intense interest in the kids, not the book. And again, this book wasn't even released until May 02 so this isn't relevant ...
And as for the "saw it on the teevee" thing, clearly he didn't unless he had a special presidential camera at the WTC waiting for this, which is what some people have stupidly guessed. I'd guess he made it up, probably on Rove's advice, to sympathize with the common man who also saw it on teevee. The sloppiness of missing that the first plane WASN'T on teevee at the time is either an oversight or another designed distraction... if he lied about that, he lied about everything, some reason, and now let's go be overcertain jackasses who leap on every "admission" and clue left in plain sight...
That's my take on this trifecta - take it or leave it.

I'm not a fan of Bush, and I don't believe he's telling the truth, but how do we know the actual attack of the first tower was whispered into his ear?
Because this happened at 8.46am, whereas his aide whispered into his ear before he left the resort at about 8.30am.
Maybe he found out at that time that a plane had been hijacked.
Not maybe. He did. The time line allows nothing else.
And then maybe he had to decide whether to shoot down the plane or let it be..... (I'm not ruling out that 9/11 wasn't an inside job... he may have known if the plane was on a collision course with the WTC and perhaps he wanted it to crash for some evil agenda or something)
just my own speculation of course.

I hope you can shed some light on what was happening. Someone should start a list of possible things that were happening in NYC at that time and what would be worthy enough for Bush to talk about it later. Other than speculation, let's come up with facts. That's not directed at you Caustic.
