The BBC reported President Bush visited soldiers today at the Walter Reed Medical Center. Bush apologized to the soldiers for the care, or lack thereof, they have received at Walter Reed and promised to fix the problems.
According to the BBC, “Some retired officers criticized the president for turning the visit into a photo opportunity.”

I for one am shocked that people would claim that about the President since he didn’t do it after 9-11 at Ground ZeroBush_Ground_Zero.jpg

Or on an aircraft carrier after the fall of Sadam Husseiniraq_bush03,0.jpg

Or in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrinabush_katrina.jpg

Whenever they want him to look "concerned" they must get him to suck on a lemon drop. It's not exactly genuine but it's the best he can do.
