The following is an email I received that I feel should be shared. I love our country. I love George W. Bush. I'm not saying anything at all about his ability to lead our country. I'm saying he is an amazingly Godly man who sincerely cares about people. That is the kind of person I want running our country. Sorry about the font. I couldn't get it changed to normal.
A doctor had his TV on in his office when the news of the military base shootings at Ft. Hood , TX came on. The husband of one of his employees was stationed there.

He called her into his office and as he told her what had happened, she got a text message from her husband saying, "I am okay." Her cell phone rang right after she read the message. It was an ER nurse,” I’m the one who just sent you a text, not your husband. I thought it would
be comforting but I was mistaken in doing so. I am sorry to tell you this, but your husband has been shot 4 times and he is in surgery."
The soldier's wife left Southern Clinic in Dothan, AL and drove all night to Hood. When she arrived, she found out her husband was out of surgery and would be OK. She rushed to his room and found that he already had visitors there to comfort him. He was just waking up and found his wife and the visitors by his side. The nurse took this picture. 
What? No news crews and cameras? This is how people
with class respond and pay respect to those in uniform.
I sent my cousin in Fayetteville , N.C. (Retired from Special Forces) that picture of Geo. W. visiting the wounded at Ft. Hood . I got this reply:
What is even better is the fact George W. Bush heard about Fort Hood, got in his car without any escort, apparently they did not have time to react, and drove to Fort Hood . He was stopped
at the gate and the guard could not believe who he had
just stopped. Bush only asks for directions to the hospital
then drove on. The gate guard called that "The President is on Fort Hood and driving to the hospital."
The base went bananas looking for Obama. When they found it was Bush, they immediately offered escort. Bush simply told them it was o.k. and to let him visit the wounded and the dependents
of the dead.
He stayed at Fort Hood for over six hours, and was finally
asked to leave by a message from the White House.
Obama flew in days later and held a "photo" session in a
gym, and did not even go to the hospital .
All this I picked up from two soldiers here who happened
to be at Fort Hood when it happened. This Bush/Obama/Ft.Hood
story is something that should be sent to every voter in the
US . Those who wanted "change" certainly got it.
Someone, PLEASE , show me anything that
will tell us
that Obama has ANY respect for the country he leads!
I'm looking for just a little sign of respect!

this makes me proud, sick and disgusted all at the same time. I miss George so much, and am so saddened by the direction our country has turned after Obama took office. Thanks for posting this!
Linds, thanks for the comment. I, too, miss George. I know he had faults but he was a great President who cared about us.
