3. Seems strange Bush wouldn't accept, but maybe he knows how foolish he'd look.
David Corn saying it was gracious for Obama to invite him, and maybe even gracious for Bush to decline so as to not appear as the third wheel.

7. Corn ADDED that Bush said "See you in September."
That's when the BIG deal will be.

why so many, here on du, are willing to create him as a liar and more. at least bushco earned it. generally people have to earn it. obama has not earned it. the opposite

<snip>
President Barack Obama plans to visit New York City on Thursday to mark the death of Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.

The White House says Obama will visit ground zero, the site of Al Qaeda's attack on the World Trade Center, and meet with the families of people killed nearly 10 years ago.

16. I think Bush was serious when he said he wanted to stay
out of the spotlight.

I said it before he left office: he wants to just stay in Dallas and get drunk whenever he wants and not actually do anything.

And that is more than fine by me.

19. I think both did the right thing.
Edited on Tue May-03-11 09:36 PM by woo me with science
I think Obama was tremendously gracious to invite him, and Bush did the right thing by declining and making sure the moment belonged to the President.

This is the kind of maturity and class that the nation needs right now, and I thank both of them.
