Why hasn't the President given a statement concerning the shootings in Tennessee after 5 days?

It seems I was wrong in my initial statement. the potus did give a 3 minute speech about Chatanooga...however...... watch it carefully. He is in a chair, slumped down...not even sitting up right...he should have been standing...he talks slow and low and almost mumbles part of the speech...there is no show of feeling or concern...it's like a motion he had to go through to give this speech. then Google trayvon or gray or brown...he's standing...he's firm...he's speaking out loudly and showing anger and concern....I do not see any of this in this lousy 3 minute speech he gave about Chattanooga.

Not so. He did make comments about it from the Oval Office the next day. Don't get me wrong: the SOB has made a number of visits to, what shall we say, sites of certain ethnic deaths. The man is an unabashed racist and he is an anti-military president. He plays a game of looking like he cares for the Media. He's done all he's going to do. And it was pathetically little.

Disgraceful. Yet he sends representatives to the funerals of criminals.

Maybe SGT Mays it wasn't meant for you, it was directed at the situation. I did find that he released a statement and attached it here. I haven't seen it ran in the media.

The victims wernt black, illegals or Muslims. He never really said anything about the SF shooting either.

This president is extremely racist.

I saw on the news last night that even the Talking head from the white house wouldnt even answer why when asked yesterday. This President is a disgrace. He doesnt care one bit about Veterans.

Statement by the President on the Shooting in Chattanooga, TN

THE PRESIDENT: I just received a briefing from FBI Director Comey, as well as my White House team, about the tragic shooting that took place in Chattanooga today. We don't know yet all the details. We know that what appears to be a lone gunman carried out these attacks. We’ve identified a name. And at this point, a full investigation is taking place. The FBI will be in the lead, working closely with local law enforcement.

Although President Obama did make an initial statement, he certainly has not shown the same concern for these deaths as he did for blacks killed (legally) by police and one killed in self-defense by a Hispanic male. He also has made no comment about the murder of a Caucasian female in San Francisco by an illegal alien who had been deported many times and returned.
I guess, to be important to this president, you have to be black or gay. Nobody else matters, it seems.
