Like the old Monty Python insult: "I fart in your general direction".

No photo ops, no grandstanding, no comments--just a quiet comforting visit from former President George W. Bush and his wife Laura to Fort Hood, Texas.
After traveling to the base, which is about 30 miles from their ranch, the former first couple spent about two hours visiting the wounded before slipping away as unobtrusively as they arrived, specifically telling the base commander no press coverage according to Bill Sammon of Fox News.
A fine example to set. Except President Obama decided to take a break from passing health care reform and holiday at Camp David.
The worst terrorist attack on American soil since 9/11 and Obama can't even make it to Fort Hood to visit his wounded troops?
An interesting contrast, don't you think?
Re: “Say what you will about W, I liked him and Mrs. Bush. She is a class act. And I miss her greatly.”

I won’t say a bad word against W and Laura, ever — what I stated, or meant, was that if Zero appeared at my bedside I’d tell him where to stick it; then I said he is a commie jacka**.
“there’s ?????”
The word you are looking for is Trash.
What? No ‘shout out’ to his homies first???
Oh, I forgot... He is the OLD style of President... class, honor, etc...
If I were able to move I’d just roll over or turn my head away and ignore the POS.
If I could break wind I’d do that as well.
He is beyond reprehensible. Words are inadequate to express my contempt for him.

I have it on good authority that President Bush and Laura used to visit the wounded at Walter Reed just as quietly, on a regular basis. Also those injured on 9/11. No press coverage whatsoever.
