President Bush is doing the right thing by declining.
It strains credulity to imagine a sincere motive behind Obama’s invitation.
Smart move by President Bush. I’m sure he recognizes that Bin Laden’s death is not about him....unlike the current occupant of the White House who will use the occasion to shamelessly promote himself.
Yes, I miss President Bush in the White House. He’s the definition of class.
Good.
Pure class. One of the finest Men this great Country has.
1) For a sense of completeness to bookend his words here:
“President Bush: I can hear you! I can hear you! The rest of the world hears you! And the people — and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon!”

2) And secondly to see him be acknowledged for setting this in motion.
But I understand his humbleness in not going.
But the 10th anniversary will be a special time now.
This “event” makes no sense to me.
Or, I believe, anyone over 12 years old.
Now, if there’s going to be elephants, free food, circuses, maybe a few Christians thrown to lions... then I’d see a PR angle.
Maybe 12 years is the mental age of his core voters.
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Thank you for everything Mr. President.
Hussein has no business coming near the 9-11 site. GWB is right to give him the finger....especially since Hussein didnt have the decency to thank him.
Awesome..
Let the scumbag man-child Ubama look like the skunk he is as he seeks to steal the credit for the risks taken by the same US military that he and his party have relentlessly tried to eviscerate for decades.
Good for Bush to distance himself from this shameless scumbag’s photo op.
Class, class, class. Besides, he’d upstage 0 - of course, I’d love to see that. But W is allowing 0 the limelight. Pure class.
I understand it, but think this is sad. GW was the president we needed when we needed him and he deserves a pat on the back for all the work he did. It would be nice if Obama could stop talking about himself long enough to recognize GWB for the great American he is.
Stickin’ it to Zero with pure class. Gotta love it.
Good for Bush.
I don’t care what some people say about you President Bush, on the war on terror, you always placed the USA on high ground. I didn’t always agree with some of your policies, but when it concerned 9/11, you showed your love of Country and the American People. You kept me safe. You sir, are a real class act.
Glad you told Obama, Thanks but no Thanks.
Bill Clinton would have gone, taken over the podium, and Obama would leave for ice cream.
Sorry I’m late, I tried to get here before the “Bush has class” posts!
I agree Bush is a class act, but I don’t see why he should avoid this. The crowd will let Obama know who deserves the real credit without him having to say a word.
Yep, so starts the Obammy I am so wonderful, bask in my glow tour.
