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.

The difference is one of them has just recently begun cashing in on is promised 72 Helen Thomas virgins.
First Class all the way. Don’t really know how Obama can take any credit as he slammed the Bush Doctrine every chance he could.
Neither president should be given more than passing mention of credit for any of this. One authorized the means to accomplish the mission and the other continued those means. Making the decision to go forward is the job of the president whomever that may be. The intel and troops over 10 years of effort deserve the credit; not some pandering, pimple on the ass of time politician, who finally made the right decision based on political expediency. Bush is right not to interject himself into der Fuehrer’s self-aggrandizing campaign rally.
FUBO & FAD
It doesn't matter because President Bush will be bashed ANYWAY, just like he has been for over 10+ years. I am glad he is not going to prop up the effin' loser who is grubbing for personal and political points.
Obama has claimed this as "his" victory, let him enjoy his imaginary "spoils" all by his pathetic self.
This thing is shaping up to be another “Wellstone Memorial.” The liberals I know are positively giddy. They can’t help themselves. Watch as it eclipses new heights of partisan-tacky.
Indeed...and there are actually educated people who purposely spell the name with U to distinguish it from an American Marxist name...particularly for those who quickly skim articles.
There are also educated people who will be interested in what Interpol has on this site:

The white half of Obama is pure trash.
The military did a job that needed to be done. I admire them and am thankful we have men in uniform able to pull off such difficult missions.
I have admired the way the Japanese people have conducted themselves during recent disasters. They have shown class under pressure.
I don’t like to see anyone’s death celebrated like we saw on tv that night. I noticed that most of the revelers celebrating Osama’s death were young people. You take 10 years off their ages, they were small children on 9/11/01.
I saw very few adults involved. Just wondering how they decided to all show up in the same places that late at night and celebrate in this manner. Those pictures did NOT make our nation look good.
I saw the protestors at a Tea party event last year. They had this same look and they acted like they had been partying all day. Over behind a building we saw the buses that were used to bring in the rentamob. They had tables where union leaflets were being handed out.
I strongly suspect most of these partiers were rented for a show of support for Obummer’s decision. Afterall, if that many folks go out late at night to celebrate, then he must have made the correct decision, right?????? It’s just another campaign event to Obummer and the DNC!
Bush = POTUS
obama = POS.....
Kind of ridiculous to have a celebration for killing one man, when there are still so many terrorists out there. Celebrate military victories yes, but an assassination of a figure, whose time was long past as being the big dog in the War on Terror, while a great moment, is hardly something worth such a ceremony. Bush was right to turn this down.
You might want to check out the spelling in the 9/11 Commission Report too:

Overall, whether the name is spelled with an O or a U once it has been translated into English is not all that important. Knowing the truth about the man...and all the facts about how and why he was killed is of far more consequence.
;-)
This whole thing has to be so embarrassing for the Clintons. He had at least 8 chances to kill Bin Laden. Maybe Gorelick will accompany Ubama to Ground Zero.
I'm not sure what there is to attend. This is little more than a warmed over campaign stop for Obama. Look for lots of union members and children to be cheering him on.

Then he could have said, "I want to congratulate President Obama for finishing the job that was started almost 10 years ago. I'm sure, somehow this is all my fault." Then just sit down and disappear.
Pres Bush should not soil himself with any association with the Muslim in Chief.
