NO DOUBT HE'D BE UNCOMFORTABLE, BUT THE INVITATION WAS MADE, AND CERTAINLY PRESIDENT OBAMA WILL CREDIT BUSH WHEN THE TIME COMES. WATCH THE DARN VIDEO BEFORE POSTING!

And now you've made me yell...I hate that!
The people trashing Obama is because Obama has done nothing but Trash Bush.. Are you going to deny this is true?

Yes, even when announcing the death of bin laden he played up his part and implied less than the best of Bush.

I wouldn't put it past obama to do the same with Bush in attendance. He's done it before.

And guess what? This is the first visit to ground zero by obama. Surprise, surprise.

And Bush turned him down?

Why???
Maybe because Obama supported a mosque being built on that hallowed ground.

Actually, the mosque would be 600 feet from Ground Zero, not on it. That's incorrect. Try reading about it in a reputable source:

A mosque at ground zero? - Boston.com (http://articles.boston.com/2010-06-06/bostonglobe/29280956_1_ground-zero-cordoba-house-mosque - broken link)

Ooooh 600 feet. Splitting hairs. A mosque would be an affront to every victim who died on 9/11. Why did Obama support a mosque on that site?

Do some reading into the ties between the Bush family and the Bin Ladens as it pertains to finances and oil deals.

GWB let Bin laden get away in Torah Borah (Fact) Bush shut down the special CIA unit tasked to find Bin Laden in 2005 (Fact).

George Bush is in mourning right now people. He wanted Saddam and his oil, he never dreamed anything bad would happen to Osama.

Because Bush is a class guy. He said he is not president now and he won't take this away from Obama. Bush set up the leg work to get him but Obama gave the final order to get him.

You must not know that the Bin Ladens turned their backs on Obama Bin Laden. One of Obama Bin Laden's sons bashed him in a book.
