TWO PRESIDENTS -- A Study in Contrasts

[from an email]



TWO PRESIDENTS 


A study in contrasts


 


The doctor had the TV on in his office when the news of the 

military base shootings at Ft. Hood, Texas, came on. 

 

The husband of one of his employees was stationed there.

She called his cell phone and a nurse answered.


"I am  sorry to  tell you this, but your husband has been 

shot 4 times and he is in surgery."

 

The soldier's wife left Southern Clinic in Dothan, Alabama,  

and drove all night to Ft.Hood. When she arrived,

she was told that her husband was out of surgery and would be OK. 

 

She rushed to his room and found that he already

had visitors there to comfort him. 

 

He was just waking up.


The nurse took this picture: 

 


George W. and Laura Bush at Ft. Hood


 


What?  No news crews and cameras?

This is how people with class respond and pay respect to those in uniform. 

 

I sent my cousin in Fayetteville, N.C.

(Retired from Special Forces) that picture of George W. 

visiting  the wounded at Ft. Hood. 

 

I got this reply:

What is even better is the fact that George W. Bush 

heard about Fort Hood, got in his car without any escort,

(apparently they did not have time to react) and drove to Fort Hood.  

 

He was stopped at the gate and the guard could not believe

who he had just stopped. 

 

Bush only asked for directions to the hospital then drove on. 

 

The gate guard called to report that 

"The President is on Fort Hood and driving to the hospital."     


The base went bananas looking for Obama. 

 

When they found it was Bush, they immediately offered escort. 

 

Bush simply told them to shut up and let him visit

the wounded and the dependents of the dead.    


He stayed  at Fort Hood for over six hours, 

and was finally asked to leave 

by a message from the White House.


Obama flew in days later and held a "photo" session in a gym, and did not even go to the hospital.  


All this I picked up from two soldiers here who happened

to be at Fort Hood when it happened.  


This  Bush/Obama/Ft.Hood story is something

that should  be sent to every voter in the US.  

 

Those who wanted "change" certainly got it.
