It’s unexpected moments like this that define President Bush. His genuine respect and admiration for the men and women who served in our armed services and the sacrifices they make on behalf of the rest of us — it’s palpable, it’s honest, and the troops get it.
And it’s what sets President Bush apart from the current Commander in Chief, who neither respects our troops nor their mission. And the troops get that, too.
President Bush showed up unannounced and unexpected in Ft. Worth to welcome home Soldiers returning from war — the smiles are genuine all around:
President Bush greets a shocked Soldier at the airport
Now, imagine Obama trying to muster this kind of genuine enthusiasm for something so simple as welcoming home our Nation's heroes...
Tell me this Soldier isn't as genuinly thrilled to be meeting President Bush as President Bush is to meet him...

Good job, W.
Looks them straight in the eye, firm handshake…unmistakable respect for the troops.
Dang, I was at the airport this morning too, just wished I could have been at Terminal D when this happened, but I was long gone.
A class act!
Another great pic from today, with W being playful and the young soldier with a huge grin.

No tougher than stepping on a cockroach…
Bwaa ha ha ha… fucking libtard. Keep blaming Bush, keep running against Bush. Well I will agree with you fuck stains on one point…ABB… anyone butt barack.
Nothing ever happens when a dim is in office. pull your head out of your ass and wake up. we are watching this once great nation fall to pieces because of the pos in office, not because of the former administration.
I wasn’t happy when Bush let government expand at a higher rate than clinton. But, these pics show a true American hero. We sure do miss him now.
GOD BLESS TEXAS!!
