President Bush should have agreed to go. Then at the last minute, pull out, and send Dennis Kucinich instead.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

I would pass too. I would be willing to bet my next paycheck when the Narcissist in Chief gets up to speak at ground zero he will find a way to sneak in “I did what Bush could not because I am The One”.

Good point...

[chiefqc]

Everything for mac daddy is planned as a photo-op.

This person is so arrogant, shameless and phony that everything MUST be about HIM and ALWAYS HIM.

[Grey Eagle]

Yes, President Bush was a class act compared to Obama and his minions.

[r9etb]

I'm as glad as the next guy that Osama is a goner....

But I have to say: this on-going celebration of his death is just sick. And for Obama to travel around celebrating it (for political gain, yet) is even more sick.

[Miss Didi]

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.

Don't be sad...have you been on Facebook? It's amazing how the lefties are out in full force screaming against anything political and praising their Barry for killing OBL. Yesterday they were feeling conflicted suggesting that we all needed to remember Scripture and not rejoice in another's death. These are the same people who hated W, the military, and anything religious up to last week. My point is...whenever I see one of these people posting this crap on FB, I see very few jumping up and down "liking" and agreeing with comments. I think people have Barry's number. Let him put up his Grecian columns at Ground Zero and brag his head off. New Yorkers and the rest of America will not be amused.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

I agree Bush is a class act, but I don’t see why he should avoid this. "

Obama has a habit of trashing people who are in the audience listening to him. He did it to the Supreme Court judges. He did it to the congressman he invited to hear him speak at the college, and he just did it to Trump on Sat night.

People are on to BO now. All but the stupid that he counts on to vote for him, know who is mainly responsible for the OSB kill. He will just continue to lool like the arrogant punk that he has shown himself to be time and time again. This whole thing continues to show the liberals up for the massive hypocrits that they are. It will backfire.

[Neverforget01]

Obama has declined to visit Ground Zero since the 2008 campaign. Why is he going now? Just another campaign stop.

Bush would never stoop so low.

[jetson]

A mad Muslim is probably planning a revenge vaporization there anyway. I wouldn’t go.

My brother is friends with a guy who voted for obama. This guy is extra happy with obama today because bin laden is dead.

I know 6 people who voted for obama. They still like him.

I got into an argument with a lifelong friend about obamacare in 2009. This person is a teacher, and we used to have lunch twice a year. It's been a year and a half since we had lunch, and I don't anticipate it happening anytime soon.

When you actually talk to a liberal, you can understand why obama won. These people don't want to hear the other side.

[Tex-Con-Man]

I can understand and appreciate why he turned down the invitation, but there will be a lot of people there who are Bush fans that would love to see him in person.

[dandiegirl]

Like I said— they are stupid. Hard to argue with stupid people.

[goat granny]

Its impossible for democrat presidents to really leave the office....without political input from them, they shrivel up and die....Clinton and Carter cannot stand to be irrelevant. Republicans return to normal life...

[bitt]

was subjected to Anderson Cookoo tonight; his top story was about how President Bush was dissin’ The Won by refusing to come to Ground Zero after being so nicely invited. Discussion of how the GOP just can’t help trying to knock down the “best+president+ever” even in his moment of triumph...

hurl!

[bitt]

Bush was invited to Ground Zero as a human sheild for Zero -the crowds would be shouting *huzzah* for GW and Zero would smarmily say “Why, hear that, they just love me!”

Cheney would have to give him “The Look” again....

[Mr. Blond]

True, though let everyone see how little class Obama has once again. Although I was assuming Bush would appear on the stage as well.

[karnage]

I got into a beef with a Malibu lib yesterday. I said it was too bad that Obama would get credit for whacking OBL. The discussion turned to Libya - I said we had no business being there. “But Khadafy’s killing his own people!” the lib said. “So what?” I answered, “By that standard, we should invade Somalia, Sudan, Congo and half the other countries on the globe.”

You cannot converse with a lib. You must simply state the case that must be stated and then move away or beat the shit out of them.

[Chgogal]

Good for Bush, especially after all the hateful, shortsighted, vindictive, classless, mean demagoguery that escaped Obama’s mouth over the past 7+ years. The hypocrisy on the Obama Left is disgusting. If Bush had done this Obama/Holder/Pelosie, etc. would be calling Bush an assassin, accuse him of war crimes and have the SEALs put on trial. I'm glad Obama did what he did, but Bush would have done it, most Freepers would have done it, I would have done it, heck the Tooth Fariy would have done it. My reply to my fellow Lefty Hypocrites when they ask me my thoughts, I smile and I say, "It's Hug a SEAL week."

LOL

The liberals that are in my family are out of control. It makes for tense holidays. My liberal cousins are upset with their mother, my aunt. She started watching O'Reilly. They think he's a right-winger, and that she should not be watching Fox News.

People who have no contact with liberals don't understand any of this.
