On Friday evening, a small entourage with secret Service agents in tow, arrived at Fort Hood, TX to meet with the families of those who lost loved one’s in the Fort Hood tragedy Thursday. Had Barack Obama quietly snuck out of DC amdist the healthcare arm-twisting? Now that you’ve had enough time to laugh, that answer is absolutely NOT!!
The contingent that paid visits to the injured and the fallen was George W. Bush and Laura Bush.
The Bushes kept their visit low key, not as a photo op.
The present Commander-in-Chief had remarks shortly after the incident occurred, albeit it took 2:41 minutes of “shout outs” before he got to the solemn remarks about Fort Hood; Later that evening he hosted a concert at the White House. Friday he discussed Fort Hood and the unemployment numbers from the Rose Garden, and postponed his armtwisting on Capitol Hill until today.
After leaving the Capitol, Obama returned to the White House to the waiting family, and Marine One, ducking off to Camp David before his trip to Asia on Wednesday. Obama will appear at Fort Hood, enroute to China, on Tuesday, for the planned memorial service.
