Makes You Proud to Be a Republican or an Independent--an American
A doctor had his TV on in his office when the news of the military base shootings at Ft. Hood, TX came on. The husband of one of his employees was stationed there.
He called her into his office and, as he told her what had happened, she got a text message from her husband saying, "I am okay." Her cell phone rang right after she read the message. It was an ER nurse, "I'm the one who just sent you a text, not your husband. I thought it would be comforting but I was mistaken in doing so. 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, AL and drove all night to Ft. Hood. When she arrived, she found out her husband was out of surgery and would be OK. She rushed to his room and found that he already had two visitors there to comfort him. He was just waking up and found his wife and the visitors by his side.
The nurse took this picture:

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 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 and said '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 it was O.K. and to 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 opportunity" 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.

To those who wanted "change". You certainly got it.
OMG, Froggy! What a story. Pres & Mrs. Bush were asked to leave by order of the White House?
ReplyDeleteWhy am I still shocked that Obama would do such a petty thing? For some reason, I didn't think even he could be so low. Oh how I miss the Bushes!
I belong to a Yahoo group--we've known each other going on about 5-6 years. We all met over at FrontPage Magazine (and it's about half Jewish!) and we talk politics all day. One of them sent me this. Along with the picture, the original email had military ranks included with the names, so I took a leap and deemed this as true and decided to post it.
ReplyDeleteI started crying (so did Sissy) when I saw the picture--and, yes, I think it's appalling that Obama didn't visit them, and asked 'W' to leave! What a worthless man Obama is!
Message for Obama: "Life is like a jar of Jalapeno Peppers, what you do today will burn your ass tomorrow".
ReplyDeleteThe Bushes used to visit the troops and the vet hospitals...and not for photo ops.
ReplyDeleteEverything O does is only for a campaign op and to ask for money. When does he run the country? Isn't that what a president is supposed to do? Am I missing something?
