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."

Excellent, potlatch. This Lucy has the same reaction!
me too
Thanks so much LucyJo!
Yeah if it’s supposed to be a photo-op, as I read in one post, where are the pictures? Second, they accused him of never going to visit them when he was pres.! And that there, is one big, dirty, lie! Then they trashed Mr. Cheney and Liz, by saying that Mr. Cheney is a coward (?). Now how is he supposed to be a coward?
If it’s because he didn’t go into the service himself, and go to war; they can’t say a thing! Because neither Bill Clinton or Barak Obama were in any war, and were definitely not in the military, period!
Back when we had a real president.
If he came to visit me I would have to insist he stay away from me. He makes me sick.
And he was at Ft. Hood today, while Obama was taking a nap at Camp David ....
What was it Peter Jennings said on 9/11? "Some presidents are just better at this than others."
Yeah. I agree.
From the book The Hunt for Bin Laden by Robin Moore:
Occasionally, a quiet and humble man brought his wife along to visit the wounded in Walter Reed Army Medical Center.In the rare moments when there was a small opening in his schedule, he would take the time to see his soldiers.
One day, on a visit kept quiet as usual for security reasons, the couple paused to see a soldier whose distraught wife had just arrived. Laura Bush hugged her close, not knowing what else to do.
After eight long years of neglect and embarrassment, the U.S. military finally had a real commander and chief.
That's what we used to have.
I don't know what have now, but it's definitely not a commander-in-chief.
Or even a decent human being.
The TOTUS didn’t tell the _resident to go to Fort Hood....
Obama is a devout Muslim.
These infidel soldiers were just shot by a devout Muslim.
Subjecting them to Hussein Obama would be a cruel insult. Almost torture. Its best they keep the scumbag as far away as possible. In fact, it would not surprise me to find that the soldiers and their families requested that he keep his Islamo ass in DC.
An Islamo Nazi with a Nobel peace prize.
"Obama's aides were working to make way for Obama to attend a still unscheduled memorial service. The White House's top spokesman said Obama would attend that service and emphasized it would take place at the families' convenience and that it will not be dictated by the president's schedule."
"Obama stuck to health care and did not mention Fort Hood in remarks to reporters in the Rose Garden before departing to the presidential retreat at Camp David for a night away from Washington. He is to leave Wednesday for a 10-day trip to Asia."
So, his Ft. Hood visit will have to be done by Tuesday at the latest.He perfected that approach when his grannie died during the campaign.
Yes.
Thanks for the good cry, Jonny. I just got home from Mass. Not a word to pray for the victims of Ft. Hood, of course, and between that and the Deathcare vote going on tonight...I kept asking God to let this nightmare end.
Class.
Thanks Laura and George. I can’t believe how low rent what is living in the Whitehouse right now is!
perhaps that is one of the reasons that the media-left hated him? they cannot conceive of someone that does something for no gain to themselves
Is that Obama kissing the hand of a Suadi Prince?
Just when 0 couldn’t get more despicable as a human being , he does.
