Details are scant on President Obama's visit to Ground Zero on Thursday, as families of 9/11 victims wait for an invite and even Mayor Bloomberg is in the dark, the Daily News reports. "The White House will release their schedule and see," Bloomberg said, while Sally Regenhard, whose son was a firefighter slain on 9/11, noted that "I would certainly like to be there. I am trying to make inquiries as to who will be there."

Little may be known about Thursday's visit, but according to City Room, the President will spend the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks at the opening of a memorial at ground zero. What is certain is that Obama won't indulge in shotgunning beers and smoking joints like the crowd that gathered there early Monday morning.

Will Obama be stopping by anybody’s multi-million dollar 5th Ave apartment for campaign donations again?

The killing of Osama. . . will NOT reduce the Deficit by one dollar- will NOT create one Job here in America. . . will NOT reduce the price of Gasoline by one cent. . . and will NOT stave-off the inflationary disaster America is decidedly headed for- now at break-neck speed!

Osama being killed by the U.S. Military is but a 'glorious flash' in an otherwise lackluster performance by America's (elected) but incompetent chief executive.

Remember: George H.W. Bush had a 94% approval rating after liberating Kuwait in the Gulf War (1990-91); yet he was NOT re-elected to the presidency.

Phew, something else for 9/11 families to be upset about. 70 Special Ops people risk their lives and all you hear from them is "why couldn't I piss on a photo of the body?"
