Today President Obama is traveling to Ground Zero to commemorate the killing of Osama Bin Laden. What is President Obama's purpose in going to Ground Zero if he could not be bothered to meet or invite all the 9/11 families who lost loved ones there? Many families are devastated and saddened about being left out and do not understand why that occurred. I was at Ground Zero on September 11th, 2009 and can emphatically state that not one family member is ever denied access to that sacred area. Numbers or space is not an excuse for turning away family members that have sacrificed and endured the loss of their loved ones this past ten years.
The Obama representative responded that "In consultation with the National 9/11 Memorial staff, we invited a group of 9/11 family members who we believe represents a cross section of family members from various 9/11 organizations. The President looks forward to spending time visiting with the families of those who were tragically killed on 9/11." Well, Mr. President, not all the families just the ones handpicked. At least the family members should be allowed to come to Ground Zero to be recognized, especially if the President is going to say a few words.
Those left out include the mom of a ten year old boy who was invited as well as the husband of an elderly couple that have gone to every 9/11 event together. The Obama representative was contacted by Americanthinker.com and he responded that if given the names he would correct the mistake. A few hours later the couple called me to inform me they were allowed to come.

Bush probably saw what happened to Justice Alito, Paul Ryan, and Trump when they attend events where Obama is to speak. He chose wisely.
I'll bet he is hitting that.
Don’t despair....I really believe things will come out that vindicate Bush, our military, and our policies. Obama got NO bounce in his polls...that should tell you something. And I too, hate to make this about Obama, but it is what it is.
GWB would not snub one single member of any 9/11 family! Zero is a total POS.
Going to work this a.m. heard Chuckie on Fox this morning saying that the situation is different now than when Bush was there and that Obama is cerebral.
Nearly ran off the road...
Bush is going on the ten-year anniversary and would be wise to go by himself and not together with Obama.
Good thing I missed that part.
Schumer has been so quiet. Guess he’s busy diddling Gillibrand.
Obama is pathetic
You mean he rose to his tippy toes so he could see the press rotflmao
“exclusive” email invite? wow. I am underwhelmed
The right heel does look bigger
Here she is with what appears to be Anita Dunn.
Either Anita Dunn or a very pretty monster. Ugh.
That will come in the email tomorrow.
I'll bet he is hitting that.
Ugh - just the thought of it made me throw up a little in my mouth.
So he really is the little twerp shown in this picture:
Are you one of those that mow with goggles a hardhat and ear protection?
Now, he’s spiking the football at visiting NYFD Engine 54.
LOL.... he will be SPIKING THE FOOTBALL into 2010. Sorry SOB!
that was suppose to be 2012... I can assure you the Obama-clan will be using every single photo opt they can to win over the Indy’s! He is sick!
The new PR firm he hired, we pay for, is remaking his image.
Like putting lipstick on a pig.
