he goes to NY a lot for money but never went to GZ.
Now he goes and uses that as a back drop with pre selected family members which there is no doubt they will be his supporters.

It is sickening and good for Bush not using GZ as a political stop.

Then man obama has no class what so ever and even after OBL was shot he ordered OBL to be given a respectful religious burial which pisses me off and everyone I know

Will he be bringing a styrofoam replica of the tangled steel from the WTC?

If he doesn’t want to spike the football (my husband told me it means to celebrate) then I guess he should cancel the ground zero trip.

If the idiot voters don’t see this for what it is, which is a campaign appearance, they deserve Obama and everything he represents. I am grateful that I don’t know anyone murdered on that day, for obvious reasons. But if I did, I would see this as taking advantage of the deaths and would be the same to me if someone pissed on their grave. He makes my skin crawl because he is such an opportunist.

He only goes to NYC for dinner dates, Broadway shows, and fundraisers.

You must be hiding under the President’s bed because I know you are quoting Michelle.

In explaining his choice not to release the photo, Mr. Obama said that "we don't need to spike the football."

"We don't trot out this stuff as trophies," Mr. Obama added.

Political or otherwise. How come the photo can be seen as being triumphant, right? But when it comes to Obama's own political gain he doesn't worry if a Muslim is going to be upset about that when obviously many of them will be angry about triumphant victory lap.

He has never had a reason to go to Ground Zero to promote himself until now, and he was kind of tied up in the controversy about whether they should build the mosque. Now he can go and take some great campaign photos, maybe some of him with flags behind him, him hugging 9-11 victim family members, etc. It is all good.... (/s)

Then why in the hell are you PIMPING NYC and the victems families there this Thurs you fatuous, incredibly shallow, narcissistic prig?

You want a trophy, arse, oh YES you do, you want GLORY and an election victory for making one decision. While the VERY IMPLEMENTED PROGRAMS that made this seek and kill mission POSSIBLE and SUCCESSFUL were those made by President Bush.

YOU FRIGGIN PIG!

Wait until the Memorial Service in Sept and keep your nasty words and pompous mannerisms in the WH pen.

You so afraid of parading in public like osama is a trophy? That is EXACTLY what you are doing by calling this festive HOOOOO YAH in NYC.

Inappropriate and truly liberal in nature. Pathetic.

BTW- my guess is that uhbama decided not to release the pic of osama dead because he PROBABLY was worried about people putting a copy of osama's blown apart mug on posters at the great big murder rally in NYC.

The pics will come out later.
