Where were they yesterday?

Please correct me if I am wrong on this, but I do not recall seeing ANYONE from the Dubya administration at the 9/11 memorial dedication ceremony yesterday. Did I miss something? If not, I have to ask why there was no mention of it in the press? I saw nothing, and I was looking.
Imagine the situation reversed. The right would be screaming from the treetops (and any other platform) about disrespect, callousness, un-American, cowardly, you-fill-in-the-negative-descriptor shown by the left.

They cannot even show up to honor the citizens who died due to their fuck-ups.

the Memorial a few months ago in a private setting. President Bush did not want to take away from the day or from President Obama. President Bush normally is such a cad, but it is good that he let President Obama run the show.
