Bush Declines Obama Invitation to Visit Ground Zero

When it was announced yesterday that Obama would be visiting Ground Zero on Thursday I added this comment to the Tweet:

Victory lap. It would be classy to invite George Bush. RT @: Obama Going to Ground Zero on Thursday...
Obama did the classy thing and invited Bush, but Bush has declined. No reason given. My guess is Bush did not want to insert himself into the story. He's already connected forever to Ground Zero thanks to his bullhorn speech from the top of a destroyed fire engine.
UPDATE:
NBC said Bush plans to mark the 10-year anniversary of 9/11 at ground zero in September.

I believe your guess is correct. W has too much class to go now, but it was classy of Obama to invite him.

For all I can find fault with Obama on, this was definitely the thing for Obama to do. Good stuff :)
