They did the same thing with Bush. There was some incident where one of Bush's detail got tangled up with someone, and then, according to Bush supporters, he sprung to action and grabbed the guy's hand and whisked him out of there. If you watch the actual video, Bush is basically just standing there with his hand out. He didn't do anything. Stans see what they want to see.
I'm an Obama supporter but I don't have any delusions about him going into a building to take on a mass shooter. I don't think any president would, except maybe Eisenhower. Definitely not Trump. He's a bitch.
