A Commander-in-Chief Visits the Fort Hood Wounded
"The only thing is that it isn't the current Commander-in-Chief.
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."
Instead of comforting his troops, President Obama decided to spend the
weekend at Camp David.
11:25AM THE PRESIDENT addresses the House Democratic Caucus - Cannon
House Office Building
2:30PM THE PRESIDENT makes a statement to the press on Health Care -
Rose Garden
2:45PM THE PRESIDENT and THE FIRST LADY depart The White House en
route Camp David - South Lawn
Even if one were inclined to give President Obama the benefit of the
doubt and assume that he had asked Former President Bush and Mrs. Bush
to visit the wounded soldiers because the Bushes live in Texas, why
would he ask this of his predecessor and not get on Air Force One
overnight to get down there himself?
Why would he not go to be with those whom he is charged to send into
battle and who were so horrifyingly betrayed by one of their own?
Because he doesn't give a rat's backside, that's why not.
I bet Former President Bush told him to get his narrow a** down there
stat and he ignored it. No awards were being given to him so he said
"Screw all that blood and drama. I'll be chillin at Camp David."
He. Does. Not. Care."
related from a blog:
"Just how stupid does this White House think we are?
If the events of the past few months have shown us anything, it's
that Barack Obama has little enthusiasm for - or interest in - one of
the most important duties of an American President: his role as
Commander in Chief of the nation's armed forces...."
