Five working days later

| June 5, 2009

Monday morning two US soldiers were senselessly shot, one was murdered, within our borders while they were on a break. They were shot by what now appears to be a lone whacko, although the circle may widen soon. That shooter was apparently trained, or at least influenced to commit this crime, in a foreign country. And here we are five working days later and not one word from our President on the incident. I’ve heard about some statement that his office released to Arkansas media about the shooting, but I haven’t seen it.

In the circles I travel in, there’s only one place to look for a statement from the President – on the White House website. it’s where I found this statement on that website about a similar crime that happened the day before the shooting in Little Rock;

That particular shooting happened on a Sunday and was released the same day – a non-working day for many of us. But five working days later, there’s nothing about PVT Long’s death in the five pages preceding that particular link. Nothing.

I cut Obama some slack – maybe he didn’t want to anger the “Muslim world” before his Big Speech, but that speech is over…he’s in Germany today. The President and Commander-in-Chief plans on honoring the US military members who gave their lives for their country on Normandy beaches tomorrow – yet he can’t honor one lone soldier who was murdered solely because he happened to be a soldier taking a break last Monday in Little Rock, Arkansas under Obama’s command.

Five working days later.

The only place I have seen this “memo from the CiC” is Malkin. There is nothing from the White House, nothing in the news, no replies to e-mails.

I think we’ve seen what the president thinks of us.

I have said it many times, already, to anyone that would listen. Unfortunately, the President doesn’t care and the lefist POS media doesn’t care, because none of them are asking why the President hasn’t made an official statement. I guess you have to be a real baby killer in order to get any attention from this President.

He has proven time and again that he has no interest in the military. He doesn’t like the current warriors and he doesn’t like Vets. He has pissed on the boots of our wounded warriors in Germany, our MOH winners, our combat wounded warriors and us Vets several times and he hasn’t even been on the job for 6 months, yet.

He is not worthy to step foot on the hallowed ground in Normandy, or anywhere else our men and women are laid to rest. As most military personnel have a finely tuned BS meter, mine was spiking when he first stepped foot on the national stage. Fortunately, he hasn’t let me down, yet, since I don’t expect much from him to begin with.

We have a long 4 years ahead of us, because he’s only getting started.

You should be here in Wichita. It has been a Tiller Memorial/Love Fest since the shooting ocurred on Sunday. I think one of the local outlets had one short piece on the murder of Private Long. And this is an Air Force and Army Reserve town.
