George W. Bush Visits Fort Hood, Wounded Soldiers

 

Fort Hood (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."

W and his wife are good people, and I think he has a good heart, but Obama is going to be at Fort Hood Tuesday, and is postponing a trip to Asia.

"I thought he accomplished that via his speech made concerning the shootings

You mean the speech where he spent the first two minutes "givin' a shout out" to his cronies?

Wow, there's just no pleasing some people. If Obama had gone right away, there would have been those who would say he was using it as a photo op, or that he was wasting taxpayer dollars, or that he was playing to the media or something else just as repugnant. The former President, as you have noted, cannot be harassed with the notion that there is some ulterior motive. For some, the current President can do NO right; they will find something wrong in every choice he makes no matter how well intended.

Politics aside, very nice of former Pres. Bush and his wife to go to Ft. Hood.

"Nice to see a former president try to show the current how to be a respectful man."

Um, hello? Obama is putting off his Asia trip to go to the Ft Hood memorial service.

Obamas muslim...I MEAN CHRISTIAN...faith would not allow him to show respect

i thought it was funny

"I thought he accomplished that via his speech made concerning the shootings. If the entire day he spends going to Texas can be better used developing a war stratedgy then I'd rather him park the jumbojet and come up with a plan."

I agree. NCSP- don't waste your time being logical. If he did go they would complain that it cost taxpayers or that it was a photo op. There's no winning with this one.

"Who would have ever thought that the president could remain in touch with the goings on of the world outsid DC?"

I thought he accomplished that via his speech made concerning the shootings. If the entire day he spends going to Texas can be better used developing a war stratedgy then I'd rather him park the jumbojet and come up with a plan.

"You learn about things like this after you grow up."

Do you learn about spelling too?

W was present at Dover MANY TIMES. He just didn't use it as a photo op. THAT is being respectful of the deceased.

Nice to see a former president try to show the current how to be a respectful man. I guess if it doesnt involve an apology to muslim, he wants no part of it
