Could the reason Bush declined Obama's invitation be...

[LiberalFighter]

he saw or heard what happened to Ryan when he was invited?

1. No. It's because he didn't like other ex presidents messing around when he was there.

[DrToast]

2. Seems pretty consistent with Bush post-Presidency

He hasn't been in public that much.

[tammywammy]

7. I believe so as well

I don't think he's said one negative thing about Obama.

[la la]

3. not to be too snarky, but---

maybe he thought he'd have to pay for his own liquor....?

[demwing]

4. Maybe he's scared?

I would be, what a target! Ground zero, Bush and Obama together, all to applaud OBL's death - it's a jihad waiting to happen...

8. He's gonna go in Sept. on the real anniversary for 9/11. n/t

[thelordofhell]

5. He's afraid to go to the scene of his greatest crime

Bush is a murderer

9. IMHO the GOP powers that be do not want to see any bonding between Obama and the right

during this time. It is how they will deminish any favour Obama might get for killing bin Laden and doing it with guts.

10. I don't think he can pull himself together well enough to pull it off.

He's probably tore up most of the time these days....cause he ain't got shit else to do.

11. Bush is flat out dumb and lacks any character whatsoever, because he's had affairs with men doesn't

matter.

12. OMG, and give up 2 whole days of drinking to get sober enough for the cameras?

That's why. He had the same choice as Obama had and instead he said, it would be better if the Pakistanis handled it.
