[rsmith6621]

Breaking on the Last Word

Obama invited BushJr and George has declined to go with Obama to NYC on Thursday....

[Enrique]

1. Thursdays are one of his drinking days n/t

[madmax]

2. He's a punk. Afraid someone may boo him? nt

[monmouth]

3. To compared to Obama...Hehe, no way would he subject himself to that...n/t

[northoftheborder]

4. He has a golf game planned for that day.

[RagAss]

5. Actually, I think he's giving Obama his due recognition.

[REP]

6. zOMG Did someone lend him some common decency? Or is this just cowardice?

[Sparkly]

7. Keep it classy, Chimpy.

What a little man.

[bluestateguy]

8. Barack Obama is really to much of a gracious gentlemen for politics

to the point where it is actually a liability for him.

[JI7]

9. if he had said yes i would have wished Obama hadn't invited him

but i like it that it's out there that OBama invited him but he wont be going so i don't have ot see him.

[Auntie Bush]

10. He's afraid of being overshadowed.

[Blue Owl]

11. So telling

that all Bu$h's hubris was NOT about the USA and the ideals of democracy, but about petty, personal family business/corporate/MIC/propaganda bullshit.

What a disgrace to the country.

12. Good!

I support former Pres. Bush's decision...I didn't think I'd ever say that! Pres. Obama is much nicer than I think I could ever be. He's dependably smart and classy.

[Ellipsis]

13. He's afraid he get "Trumped", and he would... but by the crowd.

[EC]

14. His Dad likely told him not to go.

that it was Obama's day...as much as I dislike the Bush family..old man Bush seems to allow credit to be given where it should be (maybe the last good sportsman in his family? It's a generational thing - I think.)

[louis-t]

15. He's intimidated by people with actual brains.

Sit home and sulk, asshole.

[arcane1]

16. I wonder if he invited Clinton too?

If he did, I hope Clinton declines now that Bush has done so.

[dancingme]

17. I think Bush is being a nice guy about this

he's allowing Obama to accept the credit that is justly due him. I was never a Bush fan but I do admire his resolve not to trash the current president and not to hog the spotlight.
