President Bush was invited. He made the choice to not attend. Depending on who you believe, he either 1.) did not want to "steal the thunder" from Obama, or 2.

) he was sulking because Obama succeeded where he failed, or 3. ) he is enjoying his life as it is now, and has no desire to step back into the spotlight. I, personally, feel he did not attend out of a mix of 1 and 3.

And I would like to say that although I disliked President Bush intensely, I think that former President Bush showed a good deal of class in his turning down President Obama's invitation. This is not a partisan issue. We all suffered a loss on 9/11, and we ALL celebrated a victory in getting Bin Laden .

You will notice Bush has stayed in the background for the Obama Presidency. S stated desire is to not detract from Obama's leadership and stature. I think this admirable and Bush as held fast to what he said he would do.
