George W. Bush secretly visits Ft. Hood victims

Just look at some of the faces of some of the G.I.s ( like the guy at the top & the black guy , & the top to his right ) They should have pulled him into the crowd & beat him silly ! Like he really cares ( after sending all thoes troops to die in ah war that was ah joke ) . Somebody give me ah SHOE ! Why are they smiling ? they just loss some of there best friends ..........& THEY ARE SMILING WAITING TO SHAKE HIS HAND ?????? Why & FOR WHAT ???????? HUH ?

Interesting PR stunt . Considering it was to some degree HIS responsibility , and so conveniently located ..... In only he had been there at the time . Justice , will you ever come ?

It's a great gesture. He didn't have to do it, you know. Can't we just put politics aside for a minute and show some compassion?

Wow. Obama hasn't even been down there yet, or called anyone victimized.

Thats not the only thing he did secretly.

We can't be upstaged by Obama at Dover.

LOL... i'm so late but my thoughts are the same... sorry Caucasian and Latino folks, but the brother in the back and some other guy back there, are the only ones that look like they know what should be happening at that point. KICK HIS ASS!

I see my Latinos trying to shake his hand as well, dumb assess!! I would have slapped each and every Latino there and asked them, WTF were you thinking?!?! Putos!

Once again, Bush proves he's a real guy that cares. That's why he was twice elected, and is still much more respected by the military than the new guy.

i mean, the least he could do would be to write some $1,000+ cheques. i mean, the fort is just 30 miles from his 1600 acre ranch.. oh, and he sent a lot of people to die in a phony war.

Under any other circumstance, I would applaud Bush for doing this. HOWEVER, the guy is the reason these soldiers are being deployed and killed, I'm just considering this as damage control

That was quicker then when he ordered FEMA to respond to St. Lois. Bush should apologize for his contributions to the situation; with regard to not keeping the public informed on who the enemy is, and accepting ignorance to flourish with arrogance. Then again, he had to focus on invading two countries and screwing around with every type of regulation and policy known; from corporate to the environment, pharmaceuticals and health insurance, energy, automobile manufacturing. And on top of all that, he is the ones with the ties to Muslims in the Middle East; but im not just talking about the bin Laden's, its old news that Bush was an oil industry man with all the right connects in the region.

Everything the crazies of the GOP, these Tea-Baggers would say about Obama, they were playing dumb to when our country was in need. Here, we have a black president that is making the attempt to have Congress work together on the new policies of reform, rather then bypass every opportunity to take a vote. Bush of course bypassed many of his own policies, or had them swept through Congress. He definitely had an act for having special groups prepared with haste. Well, at least with security and corporate fraud. Maybe not-so-much when dealing with the environment.

I hope George W. Bush only did this to show that he shares the pain. If this incident is used as publicity, something like an insult towards Obama, then i pity those who will play ignorant to who they are praising. Ignorance is bliss, but in this information age and the power of the internet, where you can google just about anything, its time people got educated if they want to be so passionate about their opinions. With great power, comes great reponsibility; now revert to an immature state where it is easier to focus on the quote being in a lame movie, or be honest with yourself, then with everyone else, accept humility, acknowledge where people went wrong and seek long term solutions, not band-aid solutions. That applies to just about everything Bush created, supported, and promoted.

A War On Terror?
And just how do you suppose that should end? You couldnt kill every terrorist because there is no one country where there are those that are willing to plot against The United States. And now there has been one right in the very Army that would be assembled to and deployed to Iraq. Instead of try and understand the situation in more dimensions then one, typically in blind patriotism, people simply yell for the Major Nidal Hasan's head. As hard as it is, think about if Bush was still President. Hasan's head would on eBay by now. Think about it. He would have finally had someone to kill for those that have starving for Bush's good old family friend, mister Osama bin Laden. So now he could scapegoat that victory with an American raised Muslim that joined the army to proudly serve his country, only vigorously resisted to be deployed while facing discrimination from those that were going to be sent to a fellow Muslim nation that the U.S. illegally invaded and still occupies, and with reasoning was convinced the military men at Fort Hood were a bunch racists that wanted to kill them some Muslims. So yes, George W. Bush had better show his condolences, but he bares no pride when he helped breed a nation that can call Obama a Socialist-Muslim Terrorist, thats trying to destroy this nation, all because he wants an honest Health Care Reform and provide those in the nation that are not covered. These people played ignorant then, but as i said before, its not fooling anyone when you can Google the credentials of just about anything, only they choose to follow very narrow minded views and mistake that conservatism; e.g. Sarah Palin.

A black man that spoke for civil liberties has already met his end to a Southern white man's rifle (MLK Jr). Hid death was followed by rioting in 125 cities. Yet, progress did come. Yet the first black President probably....

...black President must worry of his own security to pay his condolences in person. The situation of the area consists of many ignorant people that are ill tempered. These groups are riled up and as ugly as ever. All the while, we all know these people are ken to those that were doing the hangings not too long ago. They believe it is acceptable to discuss assassinations of the President, yet one Arab American kills a few people that were being sent to war, and that is terrorism?

It is definitely unacceptable to kill, and what happened is a tragedy, for everyone involved. But let's not play ignorant, or be arrogant. Let's not repeat history. I don't want someone that stands for good to have there message realized only after their assassination. The crazies of this nation better turn off the television, cut down on their addictions, legal or not. Get to reading, and not just physical books, research about the world online! Its okay if you want to be passionate about your perspective, but do the rest of us a favor and try and keep up with the real information, not on manipulated logic to justify your "motivated reasoning".

Best shot of Bush. His back side showing his best side, his dumb ass! For those latinos reaching out, prob TexMexans. Who's last names are Rodriguez but surely act and talk like Bif and Ken.
Bush didn't care about Katrina's people so how in he'll is he going to care about the soldiers he sent to finish his daddy's war?

Yeh somebody had to show some care. With the congress debating on a baseball team and the prez stammering about what a great conference they had.
I think it's clear -- democrats don't give a shit about the military.
It's amuzing the excuses made for why the current commander in cheeze is so lame.

I bet they wished they had died! *ba dum chk*

"Getting shot at is 'uniquely American'." -Bush (abridged)

Am I not the only one that finds this kind of sick and suspicious? Fox News broke the story.... W never attended an Iraq war veterans funeral..... never attended a tarmac ceremony and only now chooses to do so, conveniently in "secret" just a week after Obama receives criticism for having photos taken during a tarmac ceremony, even though other presidents have done the exact same thing. All you have to do is connect the dots. What kind of manipulative moral high ground are the "right" trying to pull here? Talk about trying to capitalize on death in order to further their own ends.

Bush our Proxy President: Bush at Fort Hood, Obama at Camp David

The worst attack on a military base.
So GWB and Laura spent a few hours at Fort Hood, no photo ops. Now that's a CIC.
President Obama’s Saturday Schedule:

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

Camp David?

What, does he have a tee time close by? For heaven's sakes, he's the CIC. And he's taking the weekend off? This guy simply doesn't care.
Obama's posse has announced he will go to Fort Hood next week. Not because he wants to, but because he was shamed into it. Disgusting.

Obama could have gone down himself. The fact that Bush kept it on the down low shows that he was doing it for the right reasons, not for PR.

They look brainwashed....And this is considered a developing story? The only way this would qualify as a developing story would be if he were arrested there for war crimes. But then, if that happened I guess it would apply to other presidents continuing his war policies. And Bush should visit them as he helped bring it about just as Obama is continuing it. And he didn't do it for attention, yet here it is as a "developing" story on Current while other more important stories are ignored.
END THE WAR NOW.

He's responsible for a lot more of their deaths than 12. Those smily faced people shaking his hand in the pic are... deluded.

He should be apologising to them.

The attacks on Bush are laughable imagine if Obama would have been president on 911 he would have blamed america and apologised to alquida for us forcing them to attack us he would have done nothing but sit and wait for more americans to die without fighting back and for some reason that is exactly what you want

JanforGore i could not have said it better somebody tell that asshole JOHRAYMOND
cause he thinks it ok because of what he sees in the pic ,,,,,,Geez !

I can end the war we collect and ship to america every woman and child in afghanistan then we leave the taliban to slowly die out every time our scouts see a woman or child there we swoop in and take them to Dearborn Michigan.

Why is he crowd surfing? Inappropriate.
