POLITICO: Former President George W. Bush has turned down President Barack Obama’s invitation to join him at ground zero on Thursday, citing his desire to avoid the media glare.

“President Bush appreciated the invite, but has chosen in his post-presidency to remain largely out of the spotlight,” Bush spokesman David Sherzer told POLITICO in an email Tuesday night. “He continues to celebrate with all Americans this important victory in the war on terror.”

Obama — who has sharply criticized Bush for neglecting the hunt for bin Laden by invading Iraq — made the offer to Bush shortly after he decided on his New York trip, according to two people familiar with the situation.

BEN’S COMMENT: In his speech after the Navy SEALs killed bin Laden, Obama did not give so much as a hat-tip to George W. Bush for setting up the “War on Terror” system that made the tacking and killing of bin Laden happen.

The courier that led the SEALs to bin Laden was identified and started being tracked years before Obama become President. The identify of the courier and info about him was gleaned from harsh interrogations at secret CIA prisons and Gitmo, set up by Bush.

But all Obama has done is trash Bush, even while reversing course and adopting all Bush’s “War on Terror” policies. Now he want’s Bush’s stamp of approval, even while Obama continues to give himself all the credit. Bush is wise to have nothing to do with this truly awful person.
