His going to Ground Zero is just his Narcissistic Personality Disorder kicking in.
Bush no doubt learned something from Obama’s treatment of “invited guests” in the past, i.e., the Supreme Court at the State of the Union two years ago, and Paul Ryan’s treatment during Obama’s budget speech a few weeks ago.
When you dump all over the people you invite to your functions, better expect to receive a few declines in future RSVP’s.
And also better expect to receive fewer invitations yourself, e.g., the recent Royal Wedding.
In the end, people figure out who’s to be trusted and who’s not, even when they really don’t want to believe it.
The far-left, for instance, is about to have to come to grips with the fact that they’ve been supporting a man who would prefer to just dispense with wrongdoers, rather than subject them to a messy trial, as illustrated by the killing of Bin Laden. Gotta be a lot of cognitive dissonance over on that side right now.
Wonder if Bush would have issued “kill when captured” orders in that raid (as it sounds like Obama might have done)? Of course, Bush would have been more likely to squeeze every last bit of intel from him, whereas Obama probably just looked at him as another potential drain on the federal budget, with the left ready to pounce at the first sign of any “enhanced” interrogation.
Nobama will likely resist as all he wants is the Repubs to sit on the stage in his shadow.
This will be a speech about how we can now all get along with the muzzies, and there’s no longer any reason to hold any animosity toward them. He will “build bridges” by offering various (radical terrorist) groups aid and so on.
Maybe the wind will blow over his telepromters in mid sentence, early in his speech and he will have to ad lib. That always seems to get him in real trouble. He can NOT speak without reading prepared text.
I’m glad GWB decided not to attend. This character has a bad habit of inviting people to his events but when he gets them there he starts slamming them. Look what he did to Ryan when he gave his speech on the deficit.
