"It was equally gracious on President Bushs part to allow Obama his moment to celebrate a great success. This is in keeping with Bushs extremely complimentary reaction to the decisions made and actions taken by President Obama leading to the successful mission."

BUSH DECLINES NYC INVITE: President Obama invited former President George W. Bush on a visit to Ground Zero on Thursday but Bush has declined, according to two people familiar with the situation.
Obama will travel to the site of the World Trade Center attacks of Sept. 11 in the days following the killing of Osama bin Laden in a U.S. special forces operation in Pakistan. He will meet with families of Sept. 11 victims, according to the Associated Press.
Can't blame Bush at all. I'm pretty picky about who I hang around with too.
Obama got Bin Laden. Bush not only let Bin Laden go, he said Bin Laden didn't even concern him. Not sure I would want to stand up in front of thousands of people I let down either.

I know for a fact Reagan spent a LOT of time flying to his ranch in Santa Barbara. Air Force One would be stashed in our hangar when he was in town....a lot. Pretty much shut things down across the way when it was.
To the right wing, "facts" are a liberal conspiracy.
Please.
Don't confuse the issue with facts.
They don't like 'em.
It doesn't surprise me that either of these dummies either can't read or are too dishonest to distinguish between vacation and travel.
You remind me of Conhog....
i'm sorry. are you my post police?
there is nothing in my post that indicates hatred. i don't hate bush. i DO think he was the worst president we've had in my lifetime and i've just spent the last two days watching the intellectually impaired rightwingnuts talk about how HE was responsible for getting bin laden.
now THAT'S nuts.
and near as i can tell, you've done a bang up job injecting partisan hatred into this thread.
Can you give me a list of differences between Bush and Obama, Police only... Thanks.
I would like to see how far up or below Obama ranks compared to the "worst president we've had" in your lifetime.
Stem cell research
Health care bill
actually sticking with the plan to get bin laden
not going to war and killing 4k service member based on a lie.

WASHINGTON (AP) A spokesman for George W. Bush says the former president has declined an invitation from President Barack Obama to attend an observance at New York's ground zero.
The spokesman, David Sherzer, says the former president appreciated the offer to attend but has chosen to remain out of the spotlight during his post-presidency.
Sherzer says Bush celebrates bin Laden's death as an "important victory in the war on terror."

Makes sense.
He really wants out of the spot light as much as possible, it seems. So sharing the occasion would be the opposite of what he wants. And being a deeply religious man, may feel out of sorts celebrating the assassination of another person.

Here we see Bush denying he said it, and then tape of him saying it.Can't blame Bush at all. I'm pretty picky about who I hang around with too.

You libs are still beating this dead horse. Kerry ran on this and lost miserably.
In 2002 Bush was a little bit more concerned with the war in Afghanistan and rebuilding a country and goverment that had been ruled by the Taliban.
As he put it:
So I don't know where he is. You know, I just don't spend that much time on him, Kelly, to be honest with you. I'm more worried about making sure that our soldiers are well-supplied; that the strategy is clear; that the coalition is strong; that when we find enemy bunched up like we did in Shahikot Mountains, that the military has all the support it needs to go in and do the job, which they did.
I can't imagine that this isn't just a big photo op for Obama and the 2012 campaign. If Bush realizes that, can you be surprised that he doesnt want to participate?
I heard Obama is getting fitted for a flight suit and the sign is already made.

He should go...Obama should share the spotlight with him.
SEAL team of course can't go....but I'm sure they're getting free beer from their shipmates for a LOOOONG time.
Actually..no..he shouldn't.
Bush and Cheney..and their ideas should be swept into the dustbin of history..and discarded for the utter failures they were.
They deserve nothing but scorn.
Ive alwys said this dolt is one of the most naive on the forums and he proves it to me time and time again!!!

He had to invite him.
He had to decline.
Political Two-Step to entertain the masses.
