President George W. Bush declined an invitation from the White House to join President Obama in a visit to Ground Zero Thursday.
"President Bush will not be in attendance on Thursday. He appreciated the invite, but has chosen in his post-presidency to remain largely out of the spotlight. He continues to celebrate with all Americans this important victory in the war on terror," according to a statement released by Bush spokesman David Sherzer late Tuesday.

he got no bounce from even the usual cooked up poll sources .
the compost cooked up something so awful its being openly mocked and that showed him at hovering around 50 %
Bowbama would have treated W like he did Paul Ryan...IMHO. W is, and will always be, a CLASS ACT!

I couldn't agree more!
IMHO, the “stories” are changing to fit the world-wide polling. Obama would love nothing more than to point to W and say “it's his fault”.
President Bush was not perfect but I do believe he loved his Country and loved all Americans.
So Truman did what FDR failed to do? So Nixon in landing on the moon did what JFK failed to do? Very insecure about their man-child President, arenn't they?
It may drop even lower as the truth emerges about how much and for how long he resisted this.
Don't screw our men and women in uniform!
You can't out-fox real patriots
...because he knows grandstanding when he sees it.
As per later in the article, Bush is joining Obama at Ground Zero for the 9/11 10th Anniversary commemoration this September 11th.
I’m sure he’ll treat him badly regardless, but without using W as a prop. Smart call.
Funny about the bounce...the Friends, who are usually not Obama cheerleaders, were jubilant this morning declaring that Barry got a 9-point bounce in the polls. Brian then added that after tomorrow’s appearance at Ground Zero, it would sure to go up even more. I think that was all scripted because this is not their usual style. They also reported on a poll that credits the military by 89% over Barry for killing OBL. Just wanted to add that Condi was on yesterday and did not hail Barry but firmly defended W and the past administration.
Funny how a man who just had a nationwide media tour and has done work with Bill Clinton for charity declines due to wanting to stay out of the spotlight. I HOPE there is another reason- such as he knows what a disaster Obama is, and doesn’t want to be seen with him.
Thank goodness GW is smarter than that.
Timmy the tax cheat has moved the drop dead date to August 2 for the debt ceiling to be raised or NOT.
There will be a time to discuss all this when everyone is on vacation. How convenient.
It’s a trap....</Admiral Akabar>
Wise move by W, no good could come of this. This is nothing more than a ‘victory lap,’ by Obama which has a potential for blowing up in his face. The truth is already out with regards to how this intel was collected, and where it was collected.
Now I would expect to see W at Ground Zero on 09/11/11 along with Rudy and yes Obama. Now is nothing more than a campaign stop.
It is they who will really miss that hug from President Bush on Thurs. And they will miss the chance to thank him while the event is still so fresh. They know who had their backs, and ours for years upon years.
They know.
And so does President Bush.
Thee is a huge difference between President Bush and uhbama. It has a name. It's called good character.
Very true. I would add Cheney to the list along with all members of our armed forces. The level of class that Bush exhibited during the course of his presidency, while the press and liberal legions were taunting him and attempting to ridicule his every move, was his greatest attribute. He never once lost his composure, blamed others, spoke ill of others, passed the buck, or did anything that would stain the institution of the office of the President. I may not agree with all of his policy decisions, but I damn sure have tremendous amount of respect for him. Laura Bush, as well, is a gracious and intelligent woman who knew that the office of the presidency was bigger than the both of them, and more important as well.
