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."

Obama and the rabid left detest the military because they believe our armed forces drain money from their harebrained socialist programs.

Obama Reminds Nation of Military’s Diversity

WASHINGTON — President Obama, extending condolences to the community at Fort Hood, Texas, reminded Americans on Saturday that people of “every race, faith and station” serve in the military — an oblique attempt to prevent a backlash against Muslims in the wake of Thursday’s shootings by an Army psychiatrist.

President Bush and Mrs. Bush doing the right thing. How refreshing. God bless them.

I posted the following yesterday.

[Gibbs also tap danced his way through a question regarding when Obama would go to Fort Hood. Apparently there are no travel plans for the President as of yet. Gibbs gave some lame excuse. Although Gibbs did mention that Obama intends to go to the Hill tomorrow regarding health care. I guess that takes precedence?

Obama is the CIC, wouldn’t he want to travel to Fort Hood to give comfort and support to our armed service personnel and their families??]

A meaningful comparison:

Dubya quietly visits the troops.

Obama loudly visits the House to armtwist for Obamacare.

Whoops! Who really cares?

Obama’s trip to Walter Reed was on the agenda before the shooting.

wouldn't have expect anything less.

Same here.
I may not have agreed with his social programs, but I did respect the mans core values. He has class.

Oboma is like a welfare cockroach. You can take Oboma out of the getto, but you can't take the getto out of Oboma.

But they all thought President Bush should have been in New Orleans even before the hurricane had died down.

Mr. Obama paid tribute ......"They are Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus and nonbelievers.....

NONBELIEVERS? Why didn't he just say atheist? He's sounding more like his Muslim brothers every day!

“I am always hoping he trips and falls flat getting off Marine One!”

You know if he did, we’d never see a video of it!

I bet we would see stills of it, though. If you pay attention to the wire photos, it's obvious that a lot of the photographers don't like him.

That photo brought me to tears!

It's one of the better pictures I have of GWB. Just looking at it makes me recall his unswerving defense of America, and puts an incredibly stark contrast against the Obozo administration.

They are losers and traitors. They're everything we always thought they were. And they must go. America will not survive their destructive agenda.
