“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.”
In contrast, the White House blasted a statement to reporters via email about five hours after news broke that third-trimester abortionist George Tiller was murdered on Sunday:
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 contrast between Obama's statements is striking: He's "deeply saddened" by the murder of a U.S. soldier, but "shocked and outraged" by the murder of an abortionist? The murder of a U.S. soldier is a "senseless" act of violence but the murder of an abortionist is a "heinous" act of violence? Weekly Standand

Ah... thank you for posting Barry's reaction to the soldier's murder by the jihadist. I couldn't find any report of his reaction to the second murder, whereas his reaction on the other one was certainly well-reported.
I made the same point on the differences in the two reactions.
Amazing how sometimes stuff unfolds so that we can juxtapose similar/different events so closely in terms of time, so as to expose hidden agendas?
Ie. The Owe cares far more about babykillers than about terrorist killers. But we already knew that, eh?
