White House spokesman Bill Burton told Fox News that President Obama's visit to the Army's top medical facility was planned before Thursday's shooting rampage at Fort Hood that left 13 people dead and 30 wounded.
In the wake of the deadliest mass shooting at a U.S. base, President Obama plans to visit Walter Reed Army Medical Center Friday.
White House spokesman Bill Burton told Fox News that Obama's visit to the Army's top medical facility was planned before Thursday's shooting rampage at Fort Hood that left 13 people dead and 30 wounded.
Although it didn't appear on the White Houses' weekly schedule, Burton said it was already in the works. Obama was planning to visit House Democrats on Capitol Hill ahead of their historic debate and vote on health care reform but he pushed the meeting back to Saturday. White House aides said the delay is not because of the shooting aftermath but because he wants to visit closer to the vote expected as early as late Saturday.

So why doesn’t he visit the wounded at Hood?
Because Ft. Hood is in Texas and Texas went for Juan McCain so in his narcissistic little pea brain, they got what they deserved.
I actually became physically ill when I watched that jerk.
American Troops were dead or dying, he knew it... and he smiles as continues to feed his ego and pretend that he’s the CIC.
Disgusting traitor.
exactly.....White House is in full damage control mode. They will bring POTUS and media to Walter Reed for photo op. I hope a soldier there tells him to stick it like every family but one did when he tried to use their dead hero soldier for a photo op at Dover.
Bush went over countless times with no press posse.
Nope.
All week they said he was going to Capital Hill on Friday, and now that is being pushed back to Sat.
What a lying POS.
I look for him to me uneasy and probably even loathing the seeing of wounded troops. The contrast with that and Bush is striking. IT WILL HAVE A PROFOUND EFFECT ON HIS DECISION IN AFGHANISTAN, WHICH WILL BE TO PULL OUT. HE WILL NOT GIVE THE ADDITIONAL 40,000 TROOOPS...

What a LIAR!!!!!
Yes, that ought to help the soldiers at Ft. Hood feel better! Way to go, Barry Sotero!
“Bill Burton told Fox News that President Obama’s visit to the Army’s top medical facility was planned before Thursday’s shooting rampage....”
Lying sack of SH*T! AS*HOLES!
How much more must we take?
I didn’t know that Major Hasan was being kept at Walter Reed.
The good doctors are going to pull Obama's head out of his ass.
One can only hope...
We don't want him anywhere near the Lone Star State.
