According to an exclusive report in the Daily Caller, the traditional moment of silence signifying he precise time American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon on September 11, 2001 was moved forward several minutes because President Obama wanted to move things along:
A Department of Defense official confirmed that the moment of silence was moved up a few minutes and that Obama was the one who made the decision, saying the president “moved early.”The moment of silence was originally slotted to take place at 9:37 AM — the time at which the Pentagon was attacked on September 11 — but ended up taking place a few minutes early.
The moment of silence has traditionally been synced to the exact moment the jumbo jet made impact at the Pentagon. It raises the emotional impact and the powerful significance of the moment. To re-schedule the moment to accommodate a churlish president’s personal needs is selfish, offensive and narcissistic.
