The White House excluded former president George W. Bush from the official photo of last Saturday's march through Selma to commemorate Bloody Sunday.

The original photo is a wide shot of crowds walking on Edmund Pettus Bridge led by Barack, Michelle, Malia and Sasha Obama, as well as Georgia Rep. John Lewis, Al Sharpton, Bush and his wife, former First Lady Laura.

Typical Obozo response: just ignore the facts and it becomes your truth. Idiot.

HAHA, serves GWBush right for being there anyway with leftists.

Besides look at the original shot,
Bush is faced AWAY from the camera, he looks stupid in it. Even Laura was facing the camera.

The Bushes were the turds in the punchbowl. Obviously they didn’t understand what the event was all about.

It looks like not only does Obammy have a pen and a phone, but Photoshop software as well!

Air-brushing political opponents out of historical photos was a typical Stalinist tactic. It went along with rewriting history books; but, given our education system, most of today’s voters have no idea.

It’s an old practice.

We have become them in many ways. The way I’ll know we’ve gone all the way is when you no longer see youtube videos of police acting badly.

The way they talk about it, one would think that bridge would be a pyre of destruction so devastating it could not be rebuilt.

Obama focusing in on Obama is nothing new. Cutting out Bush was just a bonus from making the picture about him.

So why was it such a big deal for GOP leadership to skip this political theater event again?
