WORST. PRESIDENT. EVER. Dissing Troop Families, Obambi Lobbies House on Health Vote; Meanwhile, Former President Bush Visits the Grieving at Fort Hood

CNN reports, "Obama Visits Hill in Push for Health Care Reform." See also, from Fox News's White House blog, "President Obama’s Saturday Schedule."

Meanwhile, also at Fox, "
George W. Bush Secretly Visits Fort Hood Victims":

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.

The couple was described as "deeply concerned" about military families on Fort Hood after Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan allegedly opened fire on soldiers and civilians, killing 13 and wounding 38.

The Bushes, who have a 1,600-acre property known as Prairie Chapel Ranch less than 30 miles from Fort Hood in central Texas, spent between one and two hours visiting the wounded and their families.
But note this from Reuters, "Obamas to attend Fort Hood memorial Tuesday." Better late than never, I guess. Or as Pamela suggests, "Obama's posse has announced he will go to Fort Hood next week. Not because he wants to, but because he was shamed into it. Disgusting."

No word yet from
the Bush-haters at Firedoglake.
