Former President George W. Bush and his wife Laura visited wounded soldiers and family members of those involved in the Fort Hood shootings. The former Commander and Chief thanked army and hospital personnel for their service and the “amazing care they’re providing”. What? No cameras, no photo-op?
I’m sure the current Commander and Chief will get around to visiting Fort Hood and the families; just as soon as he’s finished wrangling enough votes to ram healthcare through. You know, priorities and all. And of course he’s busy trying to reassure the Muslim world that radical Islam had nothing to do with the attacks yesterday, he’s a busy guy.
Just a contrast in styles I’m sure, but remember the President’s famous “photo-op” with dead soldiers the other day? Bush used to pay his respects without cameras present, I’m just saying.
Well if it’s not about Obama, last time I checked the massacre at Fort Hood had nothing to do with Obama now did it?

The Ft. Hood massacre and the lack of an immediate presidential presence there really highlights Obama’s “me first” attitude and his apathy toward our military. His indifference is not only childish, but it absolutely makes me sick.

Amen John. Obama has no idea what it means to hold the title Commander and Chief.

Obama’s absence just makes me sick. He doesn’t care a bit about our military men and women.

Good for President Bush……No matter what, he loves his soldiers and was never afraid to go to them . He just showed up at Thanksgiving in Iraq. He put his soldiers first and gave them the morale so necessary to continue any fight. Sorry, This guy in there now leaves MUCH to be desired…………..PERIOD.
