George W Bush Declines to attend Obama speech at Ground Zero
Fox News ^ | 5/04/2011 | Chris Stirewalt

Posted on 05/04/2011 7:44:56 AM PDT by ScoutLaw

Obama invited former President George W. Bush and former New York Mayor Rudy Guiliani to hear him speak at the former site of the World Trade Center. Bush declined, and Giuliani’s status is unclear, but those are the kinds of guests one would invite for a major political event.

I believe this is a class move by president Bush and a re-election campaign ploy by Obama.

Again, George Bush takes the high road instead of seeking the low road like Carter and Obama.

Nothing can surpass his Ground Zero visit and speech on 9/14/2001, or the nation’s response. That was his moment - why tarnish the memory by playing second fiddle to Obama and help bolster his popularity?

Didn't he go there once and while everyone was laying down roses on the memorial spot, BO threw his from a distance??? Or was that a different occasion?

Yep, I was right!

I wonder if they have any catchy slogans and cheesy souvenir t-shirts ready?

Good for President Bush for not giving this current moron in
the white house credibility, when he had to be dragged kicking
and screaming into making the decision to take out his fellow
muslim!

Obama isn’t fit to shine Bush’s shoes when it comes to the War On Terror.

I’m sure this was unintentional. Obama planned his big campaign rally at Ground Zero on the same day Fox is hosting the first Republican presidential debate. He’s hoping his big speech will drown out any criticism he’s likely to get at this debate.

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!

AMEN!

Obama trying to look all serious. He’s probably praising Allah.

Ossabama is a shameless croock unable to win a war, refusing to fight islamo-terrorism since , according to him, islam is goooood.

Ossabama want us and you , americans, to think that BinLaden is the lonely responsible for 9/11....!!!
With that coup , the supposed BinLadin’s very fast killing and disappearance, the poseur want us to believe that the job is done and the game is over...

Meanwhile Afghanistan and M.East all the muslim world are in a big mess with a big risk of islamism...before ObHamas “blind” eyes...

This looks like fun but unfortunately it will be a short game as we will all be passed out by the end of his first sentence.

RE “We Hear You” Image in #23...

He heard us, Mr. President...OBL finally heard us - and we opened up his ears so he heard us REALLY WELL.

Thank you President Bush for everything, in spite of the miserable treatment you received at the hands of some people in this country... Notice I did not say your “countrymen” - because they are NOT our countrymen.

They are strangers bent on our end, and no better than those who knocked those buildings down.

Thanks for posting that image, Liberty Valance...choked me up, and that’s not easy.

Who would want to go to hear someone else claim victory and basically fluff his feathers over, for something you yourself started and presided over and should yourself get credit for? And you know, Obama will not ever give Bush credit directly....but it is ironic that it was and is the majority of Bush’s “doctrine” and interrogation techniques that helped capture Bin Laden. Just because Obama is in office when he’s caught, IMO, does NOT make Obama the victor. And I still don’t believe it was Obama who made any decisions to go after Bin Laden either....I think he was TOLD to...and being the puppet he is...he did.

Good on Bush though. He has remained above the fray and has said (and shown) many times since he left office, he stays out of political fray and keeps his mouth shut.

No matter what one says about Bush, you can NEVER call him disrespectful or without class.

GW is just demonstrating Southern grace. Too bad The Won hasn’t a clue to the meaning of it.

After what that man did to Cantor et al the other day, and the Supreme Court sometime back, one would be a fool to accept an invitation from this b@stard. He’d probably mention his name and then start picking his nose with his middle finger, as he is so fond of doing.

Yeah, I have NEVER gotten over what was done to us, in fact it’s gotten FAR FAR WORSE since the election of the fabian muslo-communist. I may have to take the anger, resentment, and rage to my grave like so many other natural born Americans because it isn’t looking to me like we’re win-NING(!) this war. Gratified? Only that that a-hole doesn’t get to see the final fruits of his victory.
