Obama Too Busy Playing Politics to Visit Fort Hood

After the tragedies in Fort Hood, our President visited wounded soldiers and their families and thanked Fort Hood's military leaders and hospital staff for the "amazing care they are providing." Not our sitting President- he has been busy in Washington playing politics with healthcare. It was former President George W. Bush who visited these soldiers and tried to bring them and their families a small measure of comfort.

President Barack Obama will attend a memorial service for the fallen soldiers on Tuesday. The White House did not clarify what he will be doing for the wounded soldiers, their families, or the people at the base who are working so hard. The White House also did not say how it would thank the hero's out of this tragedy.

In fact, other than an occasional statement, the White House seems more annoyed that this real tragedy happened, because it has forced them to divert their attention away from enacting the tragic healthcare bill on the American people.

Obama doesn't visit, doesn't go on national TV, and doesn't do anything big to honor the fallen after one of the worst shootings on a military base in the history of this country. It falls to former President Bush to meet with these families and soldiers, quietly and in secret so as to not make Obama look bad, while Obama works over politicians and special interest groups in Washington DC before he can make a show of a ceremony on Tuesday.

Watching how Obama treats our nation is making me increasingly angry, and this is just more evidence that we elected a President who cares most about himself and his schemes and not about other people and the tragedies of our nation.
