While he may not be one of our finest Presidents, he has shown class post Presidency that few other Presidents have matched.
I believe that's called slinking away with your tail between your legs.

It's called being classy.

What do you want from the man?

Should he be out like carter and clinton, throwing insults at obama at every turn?

He realizes how difficult the job is, and to his credit will not remark on obama's policies.

We could only wish that clinton and carter would shrink away.

I like GW. Don't feel this guy deserves any kind of celebrating of his death.

Now, if Osama's body was laid at ground zero for all Americans that wanted to **** on his corpse....

I applaud GW for not wanting to celebrate the death of a killer.

Exactly.

Bush is a class act and does not want to make a dog and pony show out of this.

To me I am thinking Bush would never use this as a political tool like Obama is and will be using.

And, Bush would have NEVER ordered the killing of anyone, even OBL if he was unarmed and unprotected like he was. He would have made them capture him if they knew he was unarmed and has no confrontation.

Bush is classy all the way and always has been. Why tarnish that by going to a dog and pony show that is only done to prop up one single person.

I have never been a Bush supporter, but I agree with you completely on this one.

Did Obama invite Clinton?

Wondering.

Bush failed at his task and standing at Ground Zero would be a reminder of that failure.

He started a costly (in lives and money), needless war in Iraq and failed to go after the real target of the 9/11 terrorists who were no where near Iraq.

By the way.....all of those things, Obama has done to Bush over the last 2 years!! Constantly....

Bush has made it clear that he wants no more spot light....he said he doesn't think its proper.

Where's the link to this story?

Well, I think what Obama did was right (about time someone with some b**s went in there and did what should have been done years ago). I wish Bush had done the same thing, I may have respected him for something. Are you seriously going to find fault with the manner that OBL was killed? I guess we will have to agree to disagree on everything you wrote.
