Al Sharpton: Bush Declined Obama’s Ground Zero Invite Since He’s ‘Clearly Embarrassed’

Says the man who brought you Tawanta Brawley… F^ck off Al. Maybe Bush is trying to be respectful and give Obama his moment. Geez, what an @SS.

Yes , Al just loaded with class .

We all are, Al. We all are. It’s a really crass campaign stop, and even Bubba declined an invite. Presidents know better than to do that sort of thing.

ask Paul Ryan about Obama invites…

and what is Bil Clinton’s excuse?

Will this poverty pimp please go away. He’s gained fame and fortune on the backs of the poor and yet he is lauded by them. He’s a disgrace.

One can always count on Al “White Interlopers; Freddies Fashion Mart” Sharpton for sharp political insight….

Rev. Al is right. Bush should be embarrassed.

I wonder what Hillary told Bill… hmmmmmm…

Every ” real ” American including former president Bush of Obama. That’s why he does not want any part of his treasonous ways.

Obama only begged W to go because the ” real ” American people have called him out for being a scumbag…..again.

Even Bill Clinton refused to be seen with Obama. I’ve noticed The Racist Al not too Sharp weighs a Ton omited that from his sermon in the gutter.

Bush was:

1. Class act in turning this down
2. Communications genius in turning this down – Obama has show his petty nature and Bush shouldn’t be at this event at all. Let the President treat Americans with his photo-op opportunity.

Then maybe he can tell us how he’s gonna bring the jobs back and keep gas prices down.

Ask the Supreme Court and Paul Ryan what it’s like to accept an invitation from Obama.

A race-hustler who promoted the Tawana Brawley hoax is saying who should be embarrassed when?
What an absolute moron this jerk is…

There’s no way Bush can win with The Rev. Had he accepted Obama’s invitation and gone to Ground Zero, Sharpton would have accused him of trying to hog some of the glory that belongs to the president. By not going Bush is said to be too embarrassed to show up. Al, you seem to have your own special way of polluting the public discourse. Go sit by Michael Moore. He’s rich and might come across with a handout to help you pay your office rent in Harlem.

Ah yes, the liberal media loons still give weight to what the good old rev al has to say.

Bwahahahahahahaha

Bullshit “source” indeed. That’s not how George W. Bush is. Bush is not a vindictive SOB like some of the bitter sycophants in his administration are. That “source” is probably some DC neocon like the fake “journalist” Thiessen on WaPo or some other rancid bottom-feeder. ToiletInWi is wrong and so is Al Sharpton. What was reported earlier is most likely the truth if you go by precedent. He simply doesn’t want to be in the limelight. Something he has said repeatedly. Bush also usually doesn’t give a f*ck about what people think of him, he really doesn’t, so, even if the “not giving him enough credit” was true, and he truly felt slighted — he wouldn’t care and still show up. That is one good thing about the guy. He always takes the high road. It’s SO FUNNY seeing all the wingnut and after-birther vermin scampering around fighting for credit for the success of this mission. It’s these same cretins who would have been pilloring, lambasting & panning Obama had that mission gone up in smoke Carter-style. Kiss Obama’s black ass you pos hypocrites! All the polls I have seen agree that Obama gets the most credit of the two Presidents for Osama’s termination.

Well…..since President Bush had no INTENT on catching Bin Laden (his long time associate and business partner)….why WOULD he want to be present! His mind has GOT to be spinning!

Hey Al, question for you, “Bias much?”

This story says a lot about you MEDIAITE, a lot.

Mstr Adassa has seen too many Michael Moore schlockumentaries. The US has done business with the bin Laden family’s construction company in the past. The same family that disowned Osama years before that. If anybody served at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, they would have noticed the bin Laden name on many of the structures and containers throughout the living area of the base. Oh yeah, PSAB was built during the Clinton administration, after radical Islam blew up the Khobar Towers.

It is a good thing for “Al the Racist” that the press is a bunch of lefties. If it were a Right Wing Press, you would NOT see a thing about this Racist in Print or on the air.

Unlike you, Reverend Al, Bush isn’t attracted to every photo opportunity that presents itself. He’s a class act. Something that no one will ever accuse you of being.

Sharpton’s a racist.

What do you expect from a no class proverty pimp?

Egads. Sharpton is such a buffoon.

Obama has ignored Ground Zero and what it represents throughout his presidency, going so far as to proclaim 9/11 a ‘National Service Day’, in his attempts to obscure the day’s real meaning. His posturing at Ground Zero today has to be the most distasteful campaign stop he has made to date.

I’m shocked. This is probably the first time Al Sharpton didn’t blame something on racism. Is Al okay? Someone get him to a doctor for a checkup.

Sharpton like the rest of the corrupt Black Congressional Caucus, NOW, La Raza and NAACP are “clearly racist” in the statements and liberal socialist agenda!

Ok, I know liberals criticized every little thing Bush ever did, many times legitimately, many times wrongfully so. And I do give Bush credit for his part in the capture of bin Laden, I think liberals should as well.

That said, I’m astonished at the criticism Obama is getting for doing this Ground Zero event. It’s a photo op? Pettiness?

I know Obama’s not perfect. I dont’ agree with everything Obama does and he’s made some pretty stupid mistakes in his time in office, but for God’s sake, can people put down the partisan hats and stop being so cynical towards this President?!

I know many of you have a inherent cynicism towards anyone who doesn’t think like you politically, but this is getting so freaking ridiculous.

I know, I know, many liberals are the same way. I’m not going to defend them either.

And I think Sharpton is wrong here as well. I am disappointed that Bush didn’t attend this as well, but I’m glad he doesn’t feel the need to inject himself in things, even though I don’t see the harm in him doing so every so often.

I wonder what Bill told Hillary!

Are there 2 dozen people in this Country that
really (be honest “SERIOUSLY”) gives a Rats Ass what
this ugly little Race Baiting Buffoon thinks about anything?

Strike Buffoon!
He gives Buffoons a Bad name.

The chance to kill UBL didn’t present itself when Bush was in office. That little fact eludes Sharpton’s notice, why? Is he trying to say, only Obimbo with his laser-like mentality could have recognizes the opportunity and then acted on it? Sharpten’s stupid remarks are RACIST from top to bottom!! That’s right Whoopi, I’m playing the race-card….when it does apply!

What Unite the country??? Oh yeah… lay that Bush as well – I thought that was Obama’s mantra.

Sharpton is a tool. Why should Bush be embarrassed? He laid all the tough ground work & policies, took the heat the hatred and unjust criticism that made this capture possible- he is actually vindicated by the operation. It is easy for Obama to appear magnanimous when he is riding the glory train, but let’s not forget this man stood against everything Bush tried to accomplish the past 8 years and took every chance to malign his foreign policy and his war strategy.
He would have looked petty to NOT have extended an invite – it was a win-win request for Obama.

Let’s just assume that Bush didn’t want to be used as an upcoming campaign commercial for it would prove a powerful image.
OR Better yet, how gracious that Bush is letting Obama have his day in the spotlight for the capture of Usama. They will appear united in 4 months on the anniversary of 9-11 in what should be a very moving commemoration.

With that said, I have absolutely no problem with Obama visiting Ground Zero and can’t really find any need to criticize his trip – I actually think it helps to put closure on 911 and pointedly reminds us all why Usama needed to brought to justice. He deserves this day in the spotlight and a moment to celebrate with the victim’s families- I just wish it had been opened to everyone.

“Obama in NYC for measure of 9/11 closure”

A crass, tasteless, offensive, shameful VICTORY-LAP CAMPAIGN-FOR-RE-ELECTION show from”You Lie!” hussein.

Interesting fact: although “You Lie!” hussein has been in office for more than two (disastrous) years, and the suspected location of osama has been known for months (he’s lived in that compound for more than six years), osama is killed ONLY AFTER “You Lie!” begins his re-election campaign, ensuring maximum campaign publicity.

Anybody wanna buy an “obozo killed osama” tea-shirt? All proceeds go to “You Lie!”‘s re-election campaign.

Al’s illustrious career has been characterized as one embarrassment after another. Somebody needs to tell him to wash, he even reeks thru computer screens-putrid, really putrid.

I am amazed at the number of white racists on this board calling Al Sharpton that for his frank an accurate assessment of G W Bush. Your outrageous opinions of Mr. Sharpton certainly don’t matter to him or those who support him. Most of you white people are nothing but overt or covert racists; you know it; black people know it because the evidence demands that verdict! HATERS, get over yourselves!

I know people will thumbs-down you if they’re opposed to your normal views, but this is a good comment. Sharpton is often an embarrassment, and not the sort of person I want to be aligned with (despite being half-black, myself), and I don’t see the point in disrespecting an ex-politician’s desire to stay out of the spotlight after he’s done dealing with DC.

I know if I was ever a federal politician, I wouldn’t want to constantly get dragged back into the beltway after my time was done.

Nice to see Liberal Hypocrits are still amongst us. Sharpton and any other ultra leftists feeling the need to blow Obama’s horn in this have as usual totally missed what happened and how it was made possible. Bush did his job. He layed the ground work that allowed Obama to bring it to this end. Bush needs nothing from Obama nor anyone else in this world. He knows what he knows and you dont. Obama made a right choice when that choice was given to him by many many dedicated people put in place long before Obama came along. Obama is in deep trouble politically and is clinging to anything within reach to try and get re-elected. I personally hope he misses it. We can thank him for OBL but we must also thank Bush for making it possible. Now Obama must face up to the economy he has trashed, the upheaval he cant handle in most Arab countries, and do something to get people working again. He cant do that, because the only bullets in his bag are tax and spend, both designed to kill this struggling economy we are living in. He has to learn quick or get the hell out of the way and let someone with some understanding get this job started. Blame Bush all you like folks, but everyone knows down deep, it was Barney and Dodd who blew us out of the water. Bush warned them, and was of course ignored. What could he possibly know, he’s a redneck with poor grades and from the perspective of elitists from Boston, NY, and the likes, had a speech problem. Thats funny, hes the first guy in DC I could understand for years. As for Ground Zero, at this time, its Obama’s show, Bush did his 10 years ago and as usual does not wish to take from a very lacking wannabe Obama. Nice Going Pres Bush, and I know you sleep well at nite, you did your job in the face of so many fools who advised you to the contrary. The rest of you whining fools are just gona have to live with what you got. Shame on you all who continue to denigrate Bush. Obama doesnt even qualify to shine Bush’s boots.

Sharpton is just a fool. Absolutely no redeeming qualities. He doesn’t even know what’s in his own mind, but he figures he knows what’s in Bush’s’.

He’s a racist and a bigot and stupid to boot.

The cynicism stems from the fact that he hadn’t been able to find his way there until today.

Thank you for your thoughtful post. I might not agree with everything you said, but I appreciate your moderation.

While I agree with this….

“Why wouldn’t Bush want to unite the country in what he claimed was his goal. ”

I disagree with this…

“Why wouldn’t he and others from his administration that are now clearly embarrassed that according to all intelligence Bin Laden was right there”

Even though Limbaugh and Beck do it all the time I don’t think it is right when my side pretend they can discern the motives (or thoughts) of other people.
Anyway, I seriously doubt Bush is embarrassed. He is missing that gene.

Yeah right, that’s open to debate. After all, he comes from the bluest of blue blood elites.
What isn’t open to debate is most of his fans have absolutely no class or intellect.

Same can be said of most cons too!

Let’s see if Faux News reports this.

NO Al Sharpton, you racial bigot A**hole. President GW Bush, did exactly the correct thing. Obama is the President now and even though the arrogant guy in the White House presently blames everyone else for any negatives that pop up and takes credit (falsely many times) when things turn out good, it should be Obama and only Obama who went to NY today.

Why little man Al Sharpton, do you find it necessary to always stick that stinky nose of yours into everything political? Your 15 minutes of fame were used up decades ago. Please, just go away!

Look up the word “embarrassment” and it will read: Al Sharpton.

Hey Al, call Tawanda…

I hate being right. Condoleeza Right and Laura Bush confirming what I thought all along. NYDN “source” = Bullshitter!

Bush did what any decent person would do, backed out and let Obama have his moment in the spotlight. Obama is trying to use this to make his campaign look better, but it will not help. Facts: Obama never went to Ground Zero the last two years, but sent Biden, Obama was too busy playing Golf or on Vacation somewhere. Now that the policies and intelligence, that Bush put into place, finally brought Osama to justice and Obama wants to make a show out of it, and take all the credit when he deserves none. He did give the go ahead, but he HAD to! If he hadn’t, We, the People would have found out and would certainly have him drawn and quartered. So he gave the forced approval and now Osama is dead and the Special Ops soldiers and Mr Bush deserve all the credit, period! Obama knows that and the American People know that, only the Racist, Sharpton has his head up his butt!

Sharpton… SHUT UP!

LOL…Al baby….your are always stepping on your nuts. Everything that has happen up to now has been Bushes fault, according to Obama. Obama Can’t take credit for this killing. The CIA, and Intel got the low down on where BL was. They went to Obama and said we can get him do we have the go a head to take him.

Now think, If Obama said no, and this leaked out, if Obama said wait a few days and BL got away, He had no choice but to say, “Go get him”

Now The information came from Bushes people who water boarded out side the U.S. and the information snow balled to what we had Sunday, BL in the sites of a U.S. weapon…..POP!……LOL….

Sharpton, you are a nut case….good for nothing……

ahhh …..poor dub ya and the GOP baggers–now they want a piece of the victory pie….if u guys behave -maybe Obama will give u a slice….but only if ur nice…after all you had EIGHT FU@K%NG YEARS to catch him and didnt lol

D Rex:

Let’s look at the facts. Intelligence acquired during the Bush administration directly led to the killing of UBL. No hype, just fact. Water-boarding was the method use to obtain that information, again, during the Bush administration. All your dufus did was OK the operation. Any part of that your not understanding? We all know you’d like your boy to look like he was actually leading but, as usual, he’s just a follower.

Nobody is waiting on that arrogant piece of shit to give them credit. Conservatives get credit whether he wants to give it to them or not. If Obama and his cohorts had gotten their way, none of the intelligence gathered that led up to mission would have been gathered, and thus it wouldn’t have happened.

Obama should be kissing Bush’s shoes. Bush gave him a slim chance at getting re-elected.

No surprises here from a has-been poverty pimp. Maybe there is some Somalia pirates that need his particular talents in Astroturfing demonstrations of support.

Al Sharpton: Bush Declined Obama’s Ground Zero Invite Since He’s ‘Clearly Embarrassed’

Without doubt, Sharpton is one of the most ridiculously stupid people I’ve ever seen. That speaks volumes about his constituents.

Hey now, don’t confuse that fool with any facts.

WHY is it that EVERYTHING Obama FAILS to do, it’s STILL “Bush’s fault” (Obama inherited ), but THIS is “all Obama” – Bush had NOTHING to do with it?

BUT, more to the point, WHY is Al Sharpton’s opinion relevent ON ANY topic? HE is a LIAR (can you say, “Tawana Brawley”?)!

But go ahead, Rev. Al – praise President Obama… You want a chant for Obama’s re-election campaign?

FOUR MORE YEARS (of the Bush Doctrine)!
