Obama is 'sad' when a Muslim terrorist kills a US soldier and 'shocked and outraged' when an abortion doctor is killed

Obama is 'sad' when a Muslim terrorist kills a US soldier and 'shocked and outraged' when an abortion doctor is killed. The contrast between President Obama's reaction to these events that happened only hours apart is significant. President Obama responded to the death of Dr. Tiller after only five hours. It took him two days to issue a statement on the death of a US soldier by a domestic Muslim terrorist. The main stream news media had a bias in their reporting. AP attributed the killing our soldier to, "political and religious motives." They never mention the word Islamic, Muslim or terrorist.
The Weekly Standard reported:
After two days of silence, President Obama issued a statement Wednesday on the shooting of two U.S. soldiers by a Muslim militant in Arkansas--but the White House didn't even email the statement to its list of national reporters. Rather, the White House appears to have quietly released this statement to a local AP bureau in Arkansas (via Michelle Malkin):

“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.” (emphasis mine)


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.(emphasis mine)


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?

    It's understandable. Obama is a 'lefty' as Mrs Regan said (yeah, I know she meant something other but still funny). The abortion doctor was 'one of their own' and were of course, outraged. The soldier? I think that the left has made it plain that they despise the military. The statement by 'Obama' (or an aide) using the term 'sad' I suppose is better then the shrug that was actually representative of the Obama administration's reaction.
