The 9/11 museum was dedicated today---But guess who was missing? [View all]

The 9/11 museum was dedicated today. Obama was there. Clinton. Cuomo. Mayors Guiliani, Bloomberg and De Blasio all there as well. Who was conspicuous by his absence? George W. The guy who stood with that bullhorn on the still smoking ruins of the World Trade Center. The guy who was actually Prez. when the whole thing went down.

..................

Former President George W. Bush issued a statement saying the museum “will help ensure that our nation remembers the lessons of Sept. 11.”

Wow. How long do you think that took him to write it?
