Looks like the campaign has begun in earnest...

Also sounds like an excuse for meet-up of tri-state FReepers

"Did BO have a accomplishment? I thought it was the military"

This malignant marxist muslim narcissist will probably have a ticker tape parade with himself as the centerpiece. Is he channeling FDR again, I thought it was Reagan. /s

President Bush has already made the definitive speech at Ground Zero.
I'll look forward to his remarks on September 11, 2011.

9/11/01 - Never Forget!

Obama drinking game for ground zero:

(zero at zero)

1 shot for each “I” or “me”
2 shot for each “um”
4 shot if he says something positive about GWBush
1 shot if he blames bush
1 beer and a shot if he says reform ecconomics
1 shot if he says “bipartisan”
1 shot if he blames republicans
1 shot if the speech actually has something to do with ground zero
10 shots if he does not use a teleprompter.

Why would Bush dignify the occasion by his presence.

He would most likely have to sit there and endure a bunch of snide comments from Zer0.

Why would GW go there and let Obama bash him from the podium?

May the resulting alcohol poisoning from just #1 and #2 be upon your head then! ;)

Also - the drinking game should involve drinking the official celebratory drink “Bin Laden’s” - two shots and a splash of water.

Exactly! No doubt Bush saw what happened the last time some Republicans were given the front row at a speech by the Won.

Tomorrow is National Day of Prayer - I find it disgusting that Obama would do this on a Day our Focus should be on Praise of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and ALL that HE sacrificed on our behalf. Perhaps Bush partly refused because he has other plans on National Day of Prayer that give true meaning to this special day! NOT that prayers aren’t going to be said at Ground Zero, but why tomorrow of all days? Nothing this President has done is ever for the Praise of our Lord, no matter if he attends a church or says he is a believer - actions speak louder than words!

>>> Thoughts?

Yeah, it would be telling if the crowd chants “USA USA USA” or “Obama Obama Obama”.

I hope the New York crowd have more class.

Given Obomba’s recent history with Paul Ryan and Donald Trump, he’d have sat Bush in the front row, and then spent five minutes blasting him for not catching OBL.

Has Obama ever even gone to ground zero? When was his last visit. I seem to recall Libs expressing outrage that 911 would be used for politics when Bush was running for reelection. Libs make me sick.

1 Shot for "unity"

many of my more liberal friends on FaceBook have been pushing this meme for a couple of days now.

BO is a legend in his own mind.

And the mind of his enemedia enablers.

But lets give him credit for at least signing off on this operation and not warning Pakistan. Bill Clinton couldn't even accomplish that much.

Bush knows that Bambi’s speech would include put downs aimed at Bush and making Obama seem like the king. You know it, I know it and it seems Bush knows it too!

I hope Juliani also declines! That would be hilarious.....

This may finally show a RINO learning that cuddling up to socialists is a legacy loser.

Maybe the narcissist wants to be worshiped.
