President George W. Bush Not Joining Obama at Ground Zero Thursday
ABC News ^

Posted on 05/04/2011 5:16:43 AM PDT by Red in Blue PA

President George W. Bush declined an invitation from the White House to join President Obama in a visit to Ground Zero Thursday.

"President Bush will not be in attendance on Thursday. He appreciated the invite, but has chosen in his post-presidency to remain largely out of the spotlight. He continues to celebrate with all Americans this important victory in the war on terror," according to a statement released by Bush spokesman David Sherzer late Tuesday.

Fox is now packed full of Obama drones like Sheppy.

It was only one poll from the compost that showed any movement and they polled a veryyyy small group of adults
( includes illegals , foreigner vacationers) . I guess polling american voters had a disasterous results.

Who are the Obama cheerleader on Friends Now ?

Ailes is running Fox into the ground with Sheppy nad Geraldo and Juan .

This is snarky and off topic, but I sure wish I knew the names and the faces of the muslim jerks who want to build (or are already building?) the mosque (community ctr, lol) right beside 9-11 memorial in NY.

Just wondering if those gloating jerks who want to see the victory (for muslims) building go up, are equally jubliant over osama's murder and will be at the celebration of killing osama. My bet-no way.

The Friends are not Barry cheerleaders, that is what was surprising. Yesterday they were screaming over the ceremonial burying at sea. They also had on the mother who gave President Bush his son’s badge—she was so sweet the way she talked of her admiration for W.

The proof is in the pudding, as will be evidenced, by the crowd turnout (in spite of Far Left Mayor Bloom-ing-Idiot's and the Unions' attempt to bus in a whole lot of Moonbats) and reception Capt Zero gets this week and what Bush gets on 9/11.

Personally, though W has been (too much so, IMHO) gracious toward the Fascist Commie, I think deep inside is seething over what this usurper is doing to our Republic and how shabbily he treats our Military, which Bush so much loves and respects, thus W does not want to lend any "Legitimacy" or give O'Bozzo "Credibility" as he tries to milk this Ops for all the petty, man-child is worth.

I bet a dollar Barry will still put Bush down in some way during his campaign spech at ground zero. It’s just so like him. Barry, don’t go to ground zero. Your presence would only desecrate the ground you walk on.

I’m still at a loss at to why this whole “event” is happening? Is Al-Qaeda totally destroyed? Are we totally out of the woods from a terror attack? Is the Middle East a more stable place now that bin Laden is gone?

This “celebration” is only going to happen to promote the 0bama brand. He is absolutely disgusting. I know that there are some threads started that he didn’t want to give the authorization on this..and I hope it all plays out that way. I’d like to hear the media spin on that.

I am absolutely repulsed by this indignant, narcissistic poser. The smallest man in the room.

it took Bush about 8 years for gas to get to $4 a gallon and 2 years for Obama.

1.) 5 dollar gas

2.) 20+% Unemployment

3.) Hyperinflation, Recession, Economic Stagnation, etc.

4.) Unconstitutionally Qualified to hold office

5.) Destruction of the Housing Market

Etc...

Yep, he managed to do in 28 months what George Bush couldn't do in 8 years.

To make himself a pinata for Obama?

BINGO! Paul Ryan, SCOTUS, etc. clearly showed the treatment reserved for "special guests."

As to a joint appearance with Obama? Well he’s human. I know that I wouldn’t want to appear at Obama’s “campaign rally” if I were GWB. Not after the way he’s treated me for the last 2 years.

Same here, there is no way I'd want to be around or talk to the current Present after the disrespectful way I'd been treated.

I’m sure Barry is having Greek columns built now for tomorrow’s performance. As I said on an earlier thread, New Yorkers and the rest of America will not be amused.

obama knows Bush is popular over this and that he is not when it comes to NY city because of the way his admin acted and wanted civvy trials.

If he had got Bush he would have got more of a crowd etc but the class act BUSH on this occasion said no and did not want to use this event for political gain.

TAKE NOTE OBAMA,AND LEFTY KOOKS YOU DISAPPEAR ONCE OUT OF POWER

Did he invite Guiliani??

I understand he did, but I don't know whether Guiliani accepted.

“Obama is realllly going to overplay his hand and “over milk” this thing over the next few months.....”

I think you are right and it will be sooooo obvious that everyone will see it. There will not be a “bounce”, only a chuck hole.

While I think he should go, I understand this. No reason to be a lightning rod.

Actually there are more uneducated people than educated ones.

Actually.

Really.

Out side the echo chamber that is FR, it will be played and seen as sour grapes by Bush’s part.
