Obama Finally Notices Murder of Private Long

Maybe if Private William Long performed partial-birth abortions his killing would have caught the attention of Barack Hussein Obama a little quicker.

But since he was an Army soldier murdered by a Muslim jihadist, it wasn't worth mentioning for over two days, and until after Obama left the country.

Nothing like performing your Commander-in-Chief duties respectfully.

Meanwhile, in a statement released by the White House Wednesday, President Obama said, “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.”

Deeply saddened, huh? So much you ignored this murder for over 48 hours.

Lying PoS.

Recruiting Center Gunman Had 'Political and Religious Motives'

Hmm. Let's see. Religious motive, eh? His name was Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad.

I wonder what religion that could be? Curiously, the story doesn't mention a religion.

A man with "political and religious motives" killed a soldier just out of basic training and wounded another Monday in a targeted attack on a military recruiting center, police said. The shootings were not believed to be part of a broader scheme.

The soldiers completed basic training within the past two weeks and were not regular recruiters, said Lt. Col. Thomas F. Artis of the Oklahoma City Recruiting Battalion, which oversees the Little Rock office.

William Long, 24, of Conway, died, and Quinton Ezeagwula, 18, of Jacksonville, was wounded and in stable condition, Police Chief Stuart Thomas said.

Both men were from nearby hometowns and volunteered to work at the recruiting center to attract other locals to the military. "They can show the example, 'Here's where I was, and here is where I am,'" Artis said.

Police arrested Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, 23, along a crosstown interstate moments after the shootings at the Army-Navy Career Center in a shopping center in west Little Rock.

Muhammad acted alone, the police chief said, and based on an interview with officers, the suspect "probably had political and religious motives for the attack." He lived in an apartment just 1.5 miles from the recruiting center. A search warrant had been obtained for the apartment.

Thomas said Muhammad, previously known as Carlos Bledsoe, would be charged with first-degree murder, plus 15 counts of committing a terroristic act. Thomas said those counts result from the gunfire occurring near other people.

Interestingly, the leftwing blogosphere is silent.

I wonder why? Perhaps their strident anti-military stance help motivate this monster?

Oh wait, we can't assign blame, right?

Funny, but 24 hours ago they tried and convicted Bill O'Reilly, among others, in the shooting of the Kansas abortion doctor.

Tonight? Nothing.

The president, also quick to react to the Kansas shooting yesterday, apparently has no comment.
