snopes.com: Fort Hood Visit

Ft. Hood
Down in Dothan , AL, a man had aTV on in his office whenthe news of themilitary baseshootings came on. The
husband of one of his employees was stationed there.. He called her into his office and the minute he told her whatwas going on, she got a text messagefrom her husband saying, "I am okay." The cell phone started ringing right after
that. It was an ER nurse. She said, "I'm the one who just sent you a text, not your husband." She thought the message would be comforting, but she immediately knew she had to let the wife know what was going on. She said, "I am sorry but your husband has been shot 4 times and he is in surgery."

The wife left Southern Clinic in Dothan and drove all night.


Miraculously, here is the photo I just received from my brother that was taken today in the hospital room. He is
awake and will recover. His wife, who lives in Dothan , made it to Ft. Hood about the time he was waking up.
Thought I'd share this great outcome.

I saw this on the evening news (cnn), heard about it on the radio... and it was reported as well on tons of other mainstream news sources when it happened, so I don't quite get your headline.

The Associated Press: George W. Bush visits Fort Hood, wounded soldiers

The comments after those news articles are interesting. Not for Obama but interesting.
