FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) ― Former President George W. Bush and his wife, Laura, visited wounded soldiers and their families near the site of the worst mass shooting on an Army post in the United States.

The Bushes made their private visit to Fort Hood's Darnall Army Medical Center on Friday night. Bush spokesman David Sherzer said in an e-mail that the couple thanked Fort Hood's military leaders and hospital staff for the "amazing care they are providing."

WoW! Bush always respected and cared for the troops.

Upstaged!

I look two articles down and there it is.

Barry O. is probably working the phones and having Wyagu Steak Tartar, while cajoling, prodding and horsetrading for votes on his precious DeathCare (Eugenicare) Plan.

He does have his priorities.

Why did Bush’s spokesman have to send out an Email, didn’t Bush invite the media along to take pictures

This made me cry when I first read it. Pres. Bush and his lovely wife quietly go and visit the wounded, and the impersonator can’t even offer his sympathies until forced. How I miss our president.

Class sure makes a difference. He sure showed up the idiot that appeared on video reminding America what a low-life community organizer looks like. 0 failed again.

I do believe your statement is sarcasm .. but some people might not take it that way. It’s always safe to put the following: [/s]. Just a comment, not a criticism.

When the President (Bush, I mean) visits wounded troops, it's always private.

Obama’s spin will be that this was arranged.
