Beautiful pictures filled with such warmth.
Former President George W. Bush and his wife Laura pay a visit to Alabama Army Guard Maj. Randy Royer and his wife Trish in Royer's hospital room at Fort Hood, Texas
A great story and mostly true; especially the important parts. We all that W is a selfless guy who is always concerned about those who serve.
But the part about him driving there with no SS coordination made mew wonder!
Thanks for reposting the picture...it’s a keeper!
In reaction to the criticism over the Obama family heading to Marthas Vineyard amidst gargantuan economic woes and unemployment rates so high even the dead are disturbed, liberals have taken to defending Obamas vacation time (transportation compliments of two tax-payer funded jets) by portraying George W. Bush as a man who never worked.
According to Obamas defenders, Bush vacation days were disproportionately greater when compared to Barack nose-to-the-grindstone Obamas. The left argues that Obama has earned 10 days in a haven for multimillionaires because Bush spent eight years in perpetual party mode.
Mr. Bush did spend time on vacation. But Obama and Michelle closing down Bar Harbor, Maine to dine in upscale restaurants with a Latin flair is quite different from G.W. fishing on his familys estate in Kennebunkport prior to hosting a Lobster Summit for Vladimir Putin.
According to CBS reporter Mark Knoller, a vacationing President Bush would go into town for an annual cheeseburger. On the other hand, every chance he gets, Barack relaxes seaside, sipping sunset cocktails and eating lobster while the Secret Service keep peons at bay.
Maybe scorekeepers could refresh Americas memory and cite the instance when Mr. and Mrs. Bush nearly brought the Big Apple to a halt while they leisurely took in dinner and a show.
Intermittently, George W. did head home to conduct business from the Western White House in Crawford, Texas. For fun, Mr. Bush would be seen with a power saw in his hand going after brush and dead trees. President Obama has got to know that no one would condemn a decision to head home to his Tony Rezko-acquired property on South Greenwood Avenue in Chicago, instead of his $4,000 a night Winter White House in Hawaii.

Thank’s Kaslin.
You are welcome. I think it is needless to say that I bookmarked the article and will use it to throw it back at the left wingers when they bring President Bush’s vacations up
Thank you!
Obama is the kind of creep everyone has known in their lifetime no matter who you are. The one that is absolutely lazy and worthless. Where did they find him? They really scraped the bottom of the barrel when they found him. Hillary and Bill and Carter are bad enough; but Obama is a nothing. I would be embarrassed if I were Wookie Wide Load to be married to him. She must know that you can’t cover up forever. He is an insult to every person in America no matter what side of the fence you are on.
You said it. He is the worst of the worst
You’re welcome
EXCELLENT, Kaslin - thanks for posting - will share with my FB friends, too!
Right on! That’s a very well-written article. Glad you’ve posted it. Obama thinks he can live like a prince traveling around to these glamorous places and dine on gourmet food off of our hard-earned money. What a disgrace and it’s disgusting. This man has to go next year. I’m done with him. Thank you Kaslin!
President Bush and longtime family friend Cyndi Smith. The pic was either taken on Monday or over the weekend. It appears they were playing a game of paddle ball.
Bike ride yesterday morning:
Cyndi with Paul Morse. Paul was GWB's White House photographer and he also shot many of the photos of the Warrior 100k bike ride the President and the 14 wounded soldiers participated in this past April in the West Texas desert.
GWB in the lead as usual!
Paul Morse and the President
We always said we knew, though he’d been proud to be President, he’d be happy to be finally out of the White House, after his two terms. These pictures offer proof of that!
Great photos, thanks for posting them. I remember the name Morse from the Dose photos
I am very proud to still call him my President
Bush is well so normal.
