I know that President Bush would have addressed this soldier’s tragic death and would have been gracious enough to address Tiller’s death as well. It says a lot to me about Obama that he chooses to only address the one.

President Obama released a statement on the shooting.

“I am shocked and outraged by the murder of Dr. George Tiller as he attended church services this morning. However profound our differences as Americans over difficult issues such as abortion, they cannot be resolved by heinous acts of violence.”

Ohhh….you mean about the soldiers murdered by the islamist terrorist.

Than you’re right.

Obama’s silence on the death of LR soldier from the gun of a Yemen-schooled Jihadist is really NO SHOCKER.

We can expect the same COLDNESS through out his presidency.

Poor American soldiers!

Governor Palin continues to impress me with her ability to say the right thing when it counts, not just to placate Ms. Couric.

I had the privilege to see her in person at Dayton when John McCain introduced her to America. What a great family.

But, I am also reminded about the house I currently live in. My house was the childhood home of Sarah Low. Sarah was a flight attendant on the first plane that flew in to the World Trade Center on 9/11. Her name is scratched in the concrete in our basement. Sarah, and her family here, were true patriots just like William Long. And, its angering to me that our President would put more energy, assumeably, in his trip to Saudi Arabia than making a comment about William Longs murder.

Is he afraid coming out against this would hurt his trip over there? Is he afraid it would stoke the fire of America and Islamic Extremeists? Is he afraid of speaking up for American values AND AMERICANS SO MUCH??? It makes me so mad when my fellow Arkansans are relegated to this level and a President who does not even take the time to discuss what happened down here.

My prayers, and I hope yours, are with William Long’s family and all of our troops who defend what we cherish so dear; our freedoms. And, I hope that you are willing to pray for a man who apparently has no place in his schedule to do the same, our President.

As for a statement from the White House, I’m sure one is in the works. As soon as it has been focus-grouped, deeply vetted, purged of any patriotic sentimentality, and devoid of appropriate outrage.

The fact that the press won’t print it unless Obama says it’s so goes to show how the MSM won’t report any real news and give all the facts. Two wrongs don’t make a right.

Mr Obama is motivated by politics and self-promotion. He appears to have no core values, that most of us could identify with, which is reflected in his failure to recognize the tragedy that has befallen these young soldiers. There is simply no political or personal benefit for Obama to comment on it.
