WHAT A DIFFERENCE

A tragic series of events occurred at our military base at Ft Hood, Texas. A, most likely, deranged individual was able to (allegedly) kill at least 13 people and wound another 27. Most of these people were Military members waiting to be deployed overseas. The suspected shooter, a medical officer is still alive and will probably recover.

Shortly after the evens occurred, ex President G. Bush, without news coverage or fanfare, showed up at Ft Hood to provide comfort and care for the fallen and wounded. He was able to stay for about 2 hours while insisting there should be no press coverage for his presence. Seems to me he really cared, and still does, for the military and their families.

Meanwhile, President Obama provided, as an afterthought for a well conducted Indian conference, acknowledgement that some military people were killed at Ft Hood by someone. He then visited the Military hospital where the Suspect had been last stationed. (?). I have heard that he plans on visiting at Ft Hood sooner or later when proper arrangements may be made. Which means he probably has to be assured that the teleprompter works OK, Security is sufficiently tight, and he can work around his many very important task assignments.

Anyone with any sense of propriety should be able to see the difference between the former President and the present office holder. One is a true leader while the other only considers himself first.

Do you wonder about Obama? I would definitely not wish to be placed in harm's way with the present administration in charge. Even LBJ was better than this!
