Come on, give Obambi a break. Friday night is date night. Plus he has to help the kids with their homework since one of the just got a 73 on her science test. /sarc

And yet, he can shut down NYC for a date night.

Pretty sure tears were shed.

[MAD-AS-HELL]

I bet you that Rahm is FURIOUS that Bush is there before Obama.

[McLynnan]

Did you see this? Setting a good example for the self-involved boy president.

GWB truly loved and respected his troops. This (private) visit is no surprise.

We miss you, sir.

W!

[My Favorite Headache]

Former President beats the current President on a trip to the scene for our soldiers wounded by an Islamic thug.

Game. Set. Match.

[McLynnan]

Obama should have been there yesterday and he knows it.

[The Great RJ]

I suppose Obama is still getting his teleprompter loaded and is worried that he might offend Muslims by visiting these soldiers.

...It takes a REAL president...

[101voodoo]

A REAL president and first lady.

Yes, yes indeed.

[70th Division]

Obama will show up to visit the Major! ! !

All that can be said at this time “thank God”, W went to Fort Hood... many on the right don’t like W, but he is a man of honor...and he HONORS and RESPECTS our Military unlike the imbecile in the White House and his Gulag.

[clintonh8r]

The Bushes are a class act. He is behaving exactly as a former president should....unlike Carter and Clinton. Three cheers for 43!

[republicangel]

Once again, let the grownups show the man-child how it’s done.

[joethedrummer]

Retired and STILL having to do the job because the current ‘occupant’ hasn’t got the time and/or just doesn’t care.

[Paige]

This is how W honored the military throughout his presidency, low-key, “NO PHOTO-OPS” using our Military.

[MAD-AS-HELL]

Exactly! Now if this had been Bush and not gone? This has to become OBama’s Katrina moment but unfortunately no one in the media or Republican party will blast Obama for his insensitivity on this. WE all know Obama is trying pass his beloved health care plan.
