Army Recruiter Killed – Where’s Obama Outrage?

There was a same day response and comment from Barack Obama after the killing of a high profile doctor specializing in late-term abortion.

“I am shocked and outraged by the murder of Dr. George Tiller as he attended church services this morning.”
~Barack Obama

The following day a man walks into a Conway, Arkansas military recruiting center and shoots and kills one Army recruiter assistant Private William Long and wounds another. Where is the President’s shock and outrage in the murder of an Army recruiter as he carried out his official duties? Did he use up these emotions the day before on Dr. Tiller’s killing and couldn’t even muster up a good case of stunned and perturbed in the death of a soldier?

Was this a homegrown domestic terrorist attack by a Muslim extremist? Possibly. It’s being reported that the suspect “probably had political and religious motives for the attack” and was under surveillance by federal agents since returning to the United States from Yemen.

Where is the liberal left? This story of the murder of a soldier has conveniently disappeared from the front page of mainstream news media while the Dr. Tiller killing remains front and center. The Doctor’s murder is being used by liberals to fuel their outrage and desire in conjuring up a story of domestic terrorism and having it spun around blaming political commentary host Bill O’Reilly? Why no outrage when a Muslim man, upset with the military, specifically targets a military recruiting center and kills a U.S. soldier?

Judging from the White House comments or lack of comments from these two criminal acts what are we to conclude?

It would appear that the death of an abortion doctor performing thousands of life-ending procedures carries more political importance than the death of a soldier assisting with recruiting young Americans to defend freedom and liberty.

The US military was attacked on US soil by a domestic jihadist but there is no denoucement by any senior government officials. Where is the Commander-in-Chief regarding the murder of PFC William Long? His death is a politically-motivated assassination.

Sadly, PFC Long’s killing was page 5 news in USA Today.

It gives emphasis to the politicization of the news media.
