Bush Declines Obama Invitation to Ground Zero Event

It's Obama's moment and I think Bush knows it. It was humble and and gracious of President Obama to invite Bush. But as this article says via NewsBusters, I think Obama will use it as a political moment (admittely he would probably crazy not to) instead of a time of closure for a lot of Americans. I think Bush knows this and dosen't want to be used as a propaganda tool. But mostly, again I agree with the article, that "Bush doesn’t want to encroach on the singular role that Obama, as president, should rightly have in leading the ceremonies marking Bin Laden’s demise."
