A Fort Hood Story You Missed
From The CMP website,
George W. Bush Visits Fort Hood Families In Secret
Former President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush made a surprise and unannounced visit to the families and victims of the recent Fort Hood Terrorist Attack. The former President instructed the Commander at Fort Hood that there would be NO publicity of this visit. The Bush’s are said to have spent over 2 hours talking and consoling the families of the recent tragedy. President Bush showed his true leadership and character by making this visit in private. He had visited the soldiers at Walter Reed Medical Center many times in private, with no cameras, when he was President and carried on this tradition, showing his true character as a leader.
President Barack Obama, on the other hand, has announced that he will be attending the memorial service and will be speaking at this event in order to publicly show he cares. Obama recently went to Dover Air Force Base and was video taped saluting the caskets of fallen soldiers as they are returned home. While Bush never visited Dover (something he should have done), he often met with families and soldiers in private and thought it was something a President should do and that it shouldn’t be a publicity moment.
No matter how you may feel about President Bush. When it comes to Class this is a real contrast to the current resident of the White House. Thank you, GW!
Even those that railed against the Bush administration have had a change of heart, from Hillbuzz, Thank you former President George W. Bush and former First Lady Laura Bush.
How about that! Class beats Crass, every time.
