Obama has visited NYC dozens of times since becoming President. During that time he has never once visited Ground Zero.

He didn't need the photo op as "presidential candidate" Obama before!!

('Nuff said!)

FLASHBACK:

"Ground Zero etiquette: A tale of two roses
Barack Obama flings a memorial rose at Ground Zero like he's a kid tossing pennies into a fountain at the shopping mall ...
By contrast, John McCain and his wife kneel and gently, somberly, place their roses down at the foot of the 9/11 tribute."

Cindy McCain is also there. Michelle Obama is not"

Maybe he was planning to go for the dedication of the Ground Zero mosque, but since that seems to have been delayed, probably until after the next election, he decided to take advantage of the death of Bin Laden for his photo op.
