Giuliani May Join Obama At Ground Zero, Bush To Remain "Out Of Spotlight"

Via America's Most Trusted News Source/The Onion

After the news circulated that President Bush would not be joining President Obama for Thursday's meeting with families of 9/11 victims at Ground Zero, the Times reports that a spokesman clarified Bush's refusal, saying that while the former president "appreciated the invite," he "has chosen in his post-presidency to remain largely out of the spotlight."

Speaking of spotlights and the difficulty of remaining out of them, former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani also received an invitation from the President to join him Thursday, but Politico reports that "it's unclear what Giuliani will do." The mayor of 9/11 was near Ground Zero on Monday morning, but we'd be surprised if he refuses a chance to mug with the President and get a head start on 2012.

Good for President Bush. Bush declined is because Obama blamed him for the mess US are in. And why would he want to go there and help Obama campaign?

Guliani would machine-gun a troupe of 6 year olds singing Christmas carols to get in front of a camera and take (mistaken) credit for the city's response to 9/11. He is a shameless attention-whore who began the corporate ruin of New York's character. Plus his genius put the Emergency Response Team IN the WTC after it had already been bombed in '93. Stay home you poser, and watch the real deal on TV.

waterbording is a mother, plus Giuliani is the reason why you can't afford Manhattan (now below 140th) anymore... Washington Heights was the brunt of your jokes till those 1/A trains started to grow on you

The smartest thing Dubya has ever done is stay out of the spotlight post-presidency. It's a shame he didn't use those "smarts" in office. Anyway, I highly doubt that Giuliani will not be there. If ever there was a fame whore...
