97. The NY Daily News is carrying the story too

Bush feels Obama ignoring ex-president's role in Osama Bin Laden strike for 'victory lap': source

By Thomas M. Defrank
DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU CHIEF

"WASHINGTON - George W. Bush won't be at Ground Zero with President Obama Thursday in part because he feels his team is getting short shrift in the decade-long manhunt for Osama Bin Laden.

" viewed this as an Obama victory lap," a highly-placed source told the Daily News Wednesday.

Bush's visit to the rubble after the 9/11 attacks was the emotional high point of his presidency, but associates say the invitation to return with his successor was a non-starter.

"He doesn't feel personally snubbed and appreciates the invitation, but Obama's claiming all the credit and a lot of other people deserve some of it," the source added."

Read more of Bush's bullshit at the link, if you can stomach it.

BTW, take a look at the poll too. So far 73% of those answering say credit for the operation belongs to President Obama. And that's in the NY Daily News!
