11/7/09: Bush Acts Presidential. Obama Relaxes.
Remember when 13 US soldiers were killed and 29 were wounded in a horrific shooting at Fort Hood?
Remember when President Obama gave a shout-out and pandered to a political conference before he spoke about the Fort Hood massacre?
Remember when President Obama went to relax at Camp David while former President George W. Bush visited the wounded soldiers at Fort Hood? No? Well, check this out:
Former President George W. Bush and his wife Laura secretly visited Fort Hood last night and spent "considerable time" consoling those who were wounded in Thursday's shooting spree, Fox News has learned.
The Bushes entered and departed the sprawling military facility in secret, having told the base commander they did not want press coverage of their visit, a source told Fox News.

Yowza. Between the shout-out, Obama's absence at Fort Hood and his amateurishly transparent photo-op in Dover, Obama's feelings towards the US military are becoming clear. Or maybe he's just a creepy bureaucrat:
A year into his presidency, however, Mr Obama seems a curiously bloodless president. If he experiences passion, he seldom shows it. It is often anyone's guess as to whether an event or issue truly moves him.
He has spent more than two months considering a troop increase but do we know how he really feels about the Afghan war?
In a sign that the Obama honeymoon truly is over, I began to hear this week the first stirrings of a wistfulness about Mr Bush. "I never thought I'd hear myself say it," one Democrat told me. "But Obama makes you feel that at least with Bush you knew where he was on something."

And while former President Bush acted with class and concern for the dead and wounded soldiers, what was President Obama up to? Why, he was campaigning for Obamacare and relaxing at Camp David. Busy day!
