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."

” President Bush will also be at the memorial this week to pay his respects. “

I’m glad to hear that.
I figured that the WH was probably trying to discourage an invite to President Bush for fear GW would get a better reception than Barry.

They probably are, but it is not going work with President Bush. He loves our troops too much. I am sure he will be low key and let Obama make a fool of himself for all the world to see....lol

Right. They’ll say it’s the least Bush could do,after sending troops to die for a phony war,etc.,etc. Propaganda at its best. If Hitler would have had such talent working for him,he might have done better.

President Bush has class that obama can never buy

Zero doesn't even know what class or integrity are.

Thank you.

Of course he went. That’s what a Commander in Chief does.

God bless President Bush and Laura.

I dunno. Maybe Obama was visiting the bedside of the shooter? :|
