"President Bush and Laura went to visit the wounded troops last night..."

Yes, and since they live within driving distance, don't travel with a press contingent, and have a fraction of the security detail, it's far less intrusive for W. to visit.

"As Commander in Chief, President Bush ALWAYS visited his troops,"

No he didn't. It's a rather foolish comment don't you think?

"HE could go, and it would be fine."

Fine for who? Fine by what standard? Fine for you - so you could trash him for going there for a photo op - like you already did?

What about fine for the people on the ground here in Central Texas trying to deal with the investigations, the security, the limits on access, ALL with out having to work around a freakin President who can't do a damn thing to help anyway. I think I speak for the majority of the people here - we don't want the President here right now. He can give his "shout outs" from Camp David.

"HE could control the press, but he WILL NOT because that's ALL he cares about. "

Does that sentence even make any sense? Perhaps you could shout a bit less and think a bit more.

Sorry, crescen, but I don't argue on a conservative forum with people who are defending Obama for doing the indefensible.

If you want to continue to make excuses for him, far be it from me to stop you, but you are dead, dead wrong.

IF Obama cared about what happened at Ft Hood. IF he were a real Commander in Chief. IF he didn't do everything he does for his own glory and self-gratification, then he would BE there, just like President Bush, who was there last night, just like President Bush who, as CinC, visited the families of the fallen......WITHOUT cameras, and even his SS detail in the room.

If President Bush were CinC when this happened HE would be there.

Everyone who thinks clearly and knows the difference in the two men, agrees with me on that.

Since the Army�s premier medical center began receiving wounded warriors injured in support of the Global War on Terrorism, President Bush and first lady Laura Bush have made regular visits to Walter Reed. http://www.dcmilitary.com/stories/091108/stripe_28220.shtml
