What is 9/11 Really About?
According to the White House, it's all about Obama:
After weeks of internal debate, White House officials adopted the communications documents to shape public events and official statements, and they sought to strike a delicate balance between messages designed for these two very important but very different audiences on a day when the world’s attention will be focused on President Obama, his leadership team and his nation.
I think the fact that they say it is his nation speaks volumes. You do not own this country Mr. President, it is a country made by the people, for the people.
I was sitting in my 7th grade homeroom when we heard the news of the planes hitting the twin towers. I imagine everyone old enough remembers exactly where they were and the emotions they felt, and none were about a community organizer in Chicago. 9/11 is about the thousands of lives lost on that tragic day. Despite the tragedy America still stood strong and did not cower to terrorism and threats to the American Dream of a constitutional republic. Shame on you and your staff for trying to declare it as a day about you, your leadership team, and 'your nation'. It has absolutely nothing to do with you.

Forget the his country thing, the notion that the world's attention will be focused on him is even worse.

My thoughts exactly! Who's going to be focusing on Barack Obama on 9/11?
He'd do well to express a few somber words commemorating those who lost their lives, express gratitude to the heroes --everyone from NYPD and the firefighters to Mayor Giuliani and President Bush to our servicemen and women who've fought long and hard against terror in foreign theaters--and then spend the rest of the day out of sight. Of course he won't do that, though. His ego's far too enormous.
