Wonderful picture.

And yet, somehow I doubt this soldier heard any cracks from the former President about what a great photo-op it was.

Seriously though, Dubya and Laura demonstrate true class, unlike the last two Democrats who’ve been in the Oval Office.

You either have it or you don’t.

The way President Bush went to Ft Hood with Mrs. Bush shows the difference between them and the Obamas.

Obama goes and magically has tons of photographers there in the middle of the night and it is all over every MSM channel the next day. But it was really about the troops, yeah right.

The Bush’s go to Ft Hood and hardly a peep. There were no huge press releases and live feeds to the media. There wasn’t any of that press because that wouldn’t have done any of the Ft Hood-ers a bit of good. It was truly about the wounded and grieving.

Somehow I’m pretty sure that the Bush’s get all they need from the thank you’s they get from the troops. I know I’m glad my commissioning papers have his name on them.

Fantastic picture.

Worst terrorist attack on US soil since 9/11? We need to get that out of the news cycle ASAP. “Yeah, yeah…here’s to a speedy recovery and all that. Harry, would you hurry with that health care bill?”

it is a result of the rampant, dangerous, and now outdated availability of guns under a seriously out of date 2nd Amendment – you know that “dead” part of that “collection of negative rights” we call the Consitution.

God knows I felt safer when he was in charge-history will be kind to George W. Bush, a man who acknowledged the presence of evil, aand never backed down in the face of it, no matter what the polls or the spineless told him to do. Bush=The Dark Knight, Obama’s just a Joker.

Glad at least one Commander in Chief showed his concern.

I swore the oath under Carter.
After active duty I took 12 years off to grow up and figure out I wasn’t finished with military life, so after WTC 1 I came back in as a reservist, swearing oath twice under Clinton.
When finally under GW Bush I reenlisted and took the oath, it was after 9/11 and after my stint in Iraq.
It was for the first time I was finally able to say with pride “…the President of the United States…”
GW bush was an awesome CinC, and remains so today.
Saddest day for me was when his picture came down off our Chain of Command wall to be replaced by a huge unknown but suspect individual.
No longer suspect, it’s confirmed. I’m saddened, but hey; I retire this year after 20.
Now if I can just get a letter from my former CinC to be read at the ceremony it would be awesome.

What a real Commander-in-Chief looks like. One that commands the military, that is. Not the one that organizes the community zombies.

of anything else, George W. Bush was, is and will always be one of the great good men that has been president. No other comparisons necessary.

That picture had me choking back tears.

For our soldiers who were wounded and killed in an act of domestic terrorism that had no business happening.

In seeing President Bush truly caring about the men and women who selflessly serve our country with honor and dignity. President Bush is 100% class act.

And for my country, who is led by a man, an administration, and a congress who couldn’t give a flying fruitbasket about this great country and the men and women who made it, and keep it, the greatest country on the planet.

To say that Obama, Holder, Reid, and Pelosi disgust me is a huge understatement. May the join the ranks of the increasing unemployed they’ve helped wrought very soon….

When you are railing on and complaining about how “terrible” he was and how he “sold out” conservatives by being soft on illegals or failing to curb domestic spending initiatives, just remember how good he was at the MOST IMPORTANT aspect of the job; being Commander in Chief of the mightiest fighting force the world has ever known.

It was always evident that he understood what we went through and who we were. He was always proud of us, and respected us.

Whatever anyone may ever say about the man, he is a rock star among the troops, because we knew we could believe in him and we knew he had our backs. It is that much more meaningful given the contrast with his successor.

While Obama will receive polite applause from the troops, he will never get the “Ooh-rah!” welcome that Bush always received.

Even when I disagreed with Bush, I knew he wasn’t watching the polls. He is a man of genuine decency and really was a compassionate conservative. While I disagreed with Bush on his domestic agenda, I was pleased with his social and military policy commitments, despite taking several steps back from the Bush Doctrine in his last few years in office.

As for his fiscal policies, I saw them as a tradeoff in which he expended his political capital on the Global War on Terror, FISA, etc., and therefore did not have the political capital to fight for conservative fiscal policies apart from his admirable commitment to lowering taxes.

and Obama will get a tugboat. A rusty one. Bought used from the Czech Navy.

Sheesh, Carter was a Navy man AND an Annapolis graduate and he only got a sub (that specializes in peacekeeping tasks).

I am still annoyed with Bush and Cheney for their infuriating refusal to defend themselves and their policies during the last few years, but it is good to see George and Laura in a wonderful photo, doing the right thing for our troops.

I spent some time at the hospital bedsides of two of my son’s Marine buddies in Bethesda after his unit was attacked in Ramadi in early 2008. It’s not easy to do.

My son called last night to say he’s been asked to go on deployment # 3. Afghanistan this time. “What do you think, Mom?”

Sigh. What do I think? “I think you’re a great Marine, hun.”

For all my disagreements with Bush, the man has an uncanny knack for always hitting just the right tonein these situations. I suspect its the product of genuine empathy and compassion. Something clearly lacking these days.

Do my weary eyes deceive me?? God love ya G’

Yeah, I disagreed with him on many things…especially that he didn’t fight those wascally Democwats hard enough. But he understands how very important it is to TRULY support our military.

don’t know where to write/send thanks to W…but….
