Class Acts Thanks Presidents PAST and FUTURE

Class Always Shows - Its almost impossible to hide the fact when you don't have any.

I graduated from Dothan High School (don’t ask me what year)!

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 Ft. 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 two  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: 

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE PRESIDENT BUSH

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 OK and to let him visit the wounded and the dependents of the dead. 

What?  No news crews and cameras?  This is how people with class respond and pay respect to those in uniform.
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 opportunity" 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",  you certainly got what you voted for.

Someone, anyone, PLEASE, show me anything that will indicate that Obama has ANY respect for the country he leads!  Don’t show me anything Obama has SAID, but show me SOME ACTION that wasn’t a photo op!

I'm looking in the face of our current president for some little hint of honor, or of respect, or of heart-felt honesty, or of patriotic pride, OR ANYTHING OTHER THAN THAT CHANGE HE PROMISED THAT MOST OF US ARE FINDING “HARD TO BELIEVE IN”?

America has had millions of past and current military HEROS - we also are currently suffering under our military ZEROS

Republicans Want to Kill Social Security & Medicare??

More Liberal lies from Obama and other Democrats to distract voters from the fact that Obama and the Democrats have proposed NO budget for FY-2010!  The only two proposals have come from Republicans.


The Democrats also passed no budget for FY-2009, even though they were in control of all three branches of the federal government AT THAT TIME!  Now THAT should be real cause to scare anyone!

The budget bill just passed by the Republican house and passed to the Senate for approval, imposes caps on federal spending as a percentage of GDP.  It also allows for an INCREASE in the debt ceiling by $2.4 trillion IN EXCHANGE for both the Senate and House approving a balanced budget amendment.  So pay no more attention to liberal lies which try to scare you by saying that “Republicans will not compromise and refuse to allow a rise of the debt ceiling”.

Watch Dick Morris's video below, repeating what I have been saying in my last few posts, that Obama is only using his disgusting scare tactics when he says that Military pay, Social Security, and Medicare "might not" get paid if we don't raise the debt ceiling!  More lies from the "liar in chief".  As I said earlier, if he actually tries to refuse essential payments in his quest to destroy America - his destructive "new world" prioritizing would GUARANTEE his defeat in 2012, because of the UNNECESSARY pain he would bring to MOST of his own supporters.  Most of his supporters are on the dole of handouts from the federal government.  The only supporters of his that would not be affected by his irrational prioritizing would be the relative small numbers of his "dead" voters.

These are all the programs below, that the new Republican House has proposed cutting in the “Cut, Cap and Balance” budget bill they just passed (234 to 190), and sent it to the Democrat controlled Senate.  Notice that military, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are not in the Republican cuts, as was falsely accused by Obama and the Democrat threats and scare tactics!


Take a look at each cut, and see if you think any of them are “ESSENTIAL” to prevent the destruction of the USA as we know it.  Couple these OBVIOUSLY non-essential cuts with the Republican bill, and you have one out of only two proposals (both from Republicans) to turn our country around!

Obama promised to end the "pork" if he was elected POTUS.  So look at the list below and then leave me a comment about how you think he is doing:

President Obama can breathe a sigh of relief. The Senate voted way back in March to keep all those porky earmarks that "don’t exist" in his $410 BILLION spending bill.

GOP Sen. John McCain’s amendment stripping the omni-pork package of an estimated 8,500 pet pork projects worth roughly $8 billion was defeated this afternoon. You can find a database of all those teeny, tiny pork projects here.

Here’s the roll call vote:

Looks like quite a few Democrats didn't want McCain's bill to chop 8,500 "pork" projects in order to save about EIGHT BILLION DOLLARS ??  They cast most of the "nay" votes.  Guess they didn't get Obama's campaign message?  God save us from "bipartisanship", and help us get more Republicans into the fray.
