Only because Bush didn't have the brains to figure out where the Titanic would be or what an iceberg is. He figured the latter was used to keep beer and whiskey cold. Obama at least understands time travel and navigation through the minefield of Konservative politics.
The theory I like involves ancient aliens covering up the disaster at Atlantis when one of their warp reactors exploded.
Nobody's saying the Titanic didn't sink. The question is was it really the Titanic? and why did it sink in the first place.
The Titanic never sank, you are part of a government plot to hide the truth from us. It currently resides in an Akron retirement home under the name Bertha Finklestein.
IMHO - It was really the Titanic and it sank because it filled with water after hitting an iceberg. People drowned because of insufficient lifeboat capacity and lack of emergency planning. Now as to why the iceberg was placed in front of the Titanic at the precise time for a collision I will leave to better imaginations than mine.

nope , he wasnt...but 700 people did survive the disarster...and they ALL say it was the titantic
They were passengers and crew members for God's sake. And to them, it was the Titanic ... that's what it said on their tickets ... and that's what was was labeled on the side of the ship that they boarded. So, for their purposes, it was the Titanic. If you got on a Southwest Airline 737 that your ticket said was Fl 215 ... how the hell would you know if it was actually the tail number listed for that flight ... to you it would be whatever you were told it was.
So, when the ship left dock, that's what everyone on board and standing on the dock waving goodbye believed too. Why should they not believe it? The freaking 4 foot tall letters on the side said Titanic ... their freaking tickets said Titanic! Why is this so hard for so many of you to grasp? Two virtually identical ships, one damaged far beyond what anyone realized except the owners ... insurance that wouldn't pay for the damage to the Olympia because the British exonerated themselves from fault in the accident between it's Naval vessel and the privately owned passenger ship, so they swapped ships, set the damaged one to sail masquerading as the Brand New Titanic in order to sink it and recover all 12 Million in insurance attached to the new Titanic, turning a substantial liability into a very positive gain.
Of course, had they just sent off the damaged Olympia (which the insurance co would not insure for anything close to the amounts the Titanic was insured for) and sunk it ... that would have been rather obvious, don't you think?
Like I said before, I don't know if the story is true or not .... but those engraved letters M & P under the spots where two of the riveted letters spelling Titanic have fallen off is pretty damning evidence that supports an otherwise chain of anecdotal evidence and speculation.
Of course, Insurance Fraud is such an unlikely thing to occur it should be immediately dismissed in favor of the story you were told in grade school for which you have no supporting evidence other than the story itself.
Besides, everyone knows how honest J. P. Morgan was, so he would never have done such a thing, right?

It took a while but finally a cohesive response to the documentary.
Let's not forget that J. P. Morgan canceled his trip on the "Titanic" at the last minute due to "illness". Also, three prominent American industrialists; Astor, Guggenheim and Strauss all died on the Titanic. All 3 were opposed to a central bank in the United States. Guess who was for a central bank in the U. S.? That's right, J.P. Morgan.
During the sinking, white flares were shot instead of the red flares that were generally used in an emergency. White flares were used for celebrations. James Cameron gives us some clues in his movie. No rescue attempt was made for hours until it was certain that certain individuals had died, namely Astor, Guggenheim and Strauss.
So let's look at the timeline of events:
1912: The sinking of the "Titanic". Astor, Guggenheim and Strauss who were against a central bank in the United States are now out of the picture. White Star Lines collects thier insurance claim for the lost ship.
1913: A central bank is created in the U. S., "The Federal Reserve"
You know, it's not like this is some unprecedented thing ... Lying and ships being sunk under false pretense.
The Lusitania is a classic example ... the story is those nasty Germans sunk a peaceful passenger vessel ... the story behind the story is that this peaceful passenger vessel was either loaded with military supplies for the allies against Germany in WW I, or that it really wasn't carrying military supplies, but it was leaked to German intelligence that it was carrying them, so that they would be on the lookout for it and sink it so that America, still taking a neutral position on the war would become more politically disposed to join the war.
We have the proven attack on the USS Liberty by Israel ... a clearly flagged US Navy warship relentlessly attacked but managed to survive to tell the tale rather than sinking, which was to be blamed on Egypt.
We have the USS Main, exploded in Havana harbor and blamed on Spain, which led to the US crushing Spain in the Spanish-American War.
So, you really need not be a "conspiracy theorist" to realize that conspiracies actually do occur from time to time .... they really do you know? There is actual evidence for these things ... generally such evidence isn't revealed until long after the event ... sometimes decades later.
This is why it's important to never be so fixated on one particular "belief" that you unable or unwilling to consider new information which usually doesn't become available until after the original story is told, and generally accepted as the truth.
Historically, "accepted as true" and "literally true" are often very two different things.
Always suspected RP fans were wackjobs, and they prove it every time they post more of their crackpot ideas. Jeeeeeeeeeez
