Two Days Later White House Finally Issues Statement on Army Recruiter Shooting

Compare and contrast (from Michelle Malkin):
The White House finally got around to releasing a statement on the jihadi attack against our troops at the Arkansas military recruitment center.

Here is the entire statement:

“I am deeply saddened by this senseless act of violence against two brave young soldiers who were doing their part to strengthen our armed forces and keep our country safe. I would like to wish Quinton Ezeagwula a speedy recovery, and to offer my condolences and prayers to William Long’s family as they mourn the loss of their son.”

“Senseless?” It made perfectly good sense to a vengeful Muslim convert jihadi bent on “killing as many people in the Army as he could.”

For contrast, here is Obama’s full statement on the Tiller murder, issued just hours after 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.

The White House didn't have to be prompted to issue the statement on the Tiller shooting. It was a natural response for them.

It took two days of hounding by the press and others to get them to issue the milquetoast statement the offered on the Army shooting. Condemning anything that doesn't advance their agenda is difficult for them.
