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."

George and Laura are the real deal, not an act. Obozo and his first bitch are nothing but an act.

One man goes to visit the sick and injured, giving them hope.

One man goes to twist arms and break legs, paying ‘them’ off with ‘stimulus’ to detroy life blood.

One set of people would die for us.
One set of people would make us die off for them.

Hard choice there, which to support. Hmmm.

That’s not true.
Visiting WR wasn’t on his agenda.
It was added after the massacre.

“on a side note .. what a disgrace that Michael Jackson’s death gets more airtime than another major terrorist attack on American soil. Noone on tv is talking about this at all today. What a travesty!!”

The Progressively Liberal Mediots in charge of the media will try to bury this story by not discussing it.

I believe President Bush would have traveled thousands of miles to be with wounded military and their families.

I just had a image come before me while thinking about Bush's visit to Ft. Hood.

Prez Bush and Laura walk up to one of the wounded and greet them with concern.

Solder: Oh Mr. President Bush it is great to see you. You see I just woke up from a terrible nightmare.

Prez Bush: What was it about soldier?

Soldier: Obama was our President and not only did trash our economy, but he trashed our health care and refuses to admit that we were targets of Islamic terrorist. But I guess that just a bad dream because here you are.

Prez Bush: Sorry son, but that was not a nightmare, it is our reality. But there is hope, Sarah will take him in 2012, just like Reagan did to Carter.

Amen to your response: "George and Laura are the real deal, not an act. Obozo and his first bitch are nothing but an act."

Yes and those who dropped away (instead of staying or getting involved) gave us that POS in the White House.

And, yes, I’m mad as heck. I’m angry and there are millions like me.

Me too. I think he was the greatest. Still ashamed how the country including tons of so called conservatives turned their backs on him.

My point is that the trip to Walter Reed was not in response to the shooting. I heard a news report by Ann Compton last night and she said the trip was scheduled before the shooting.

I’m simply underscoring how lame the O’s response was to the shooting.

One thing Obama can never do is care about the military men and women like George W does. Not even close.
