ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE — The White House Tuesday offered its condolences to the victims of "appalling violence" during the crackdown on protesters in Libya, President Barack Obama's spokesman said.
"We offer our condolences to the families of the victims of Libya and this appalling violence," spokesman Jay Carney told reporters, reiterating US condemnation of the crackdown.
Carney also said he did not anticipate Obama immediately making a public statement on the situation, but that his top diplomat, Hillary Clinton, would speak to the violence at 2:30 pm (1930 GMT).
On Monday, Clinton called on Libya to end "unacceptable bloodshed" and said Washington was working urgently with its partners to make its message clear to Kadhafi's teetering government.
Clinton reacted after Libyan residents described a "massacre" of violent suppression rocking Libyan cities, and as reports emerged of demonstrators being gunned down on the streets.

It is strange that Barry is silent on this. He appears to be devoting himself fulltime to helping Richard Trumka and the Unions in return for financing his re-election campaign. Barry has no time for world affairs.
In other words, Libya going down in flames as we post.
Obama has a prior relationship with Moamar through his Kenyan family.
Who is going to sanction obama for his “violet crackdown” on liberty in the USA?
Every time there is a blip in any Muslim country, Obama never misses the opportunity to import hundreds of thousands of them here. Of course, with free housing, cell phones, transportation, food, medical, education, foot baths, Federally/Saudi funded mosques, etc. Hey, never let a crisis got to waste, right?. Anyway, we all know the number one goal of all of America's society and institutions is Muslim outreach. What could be more important than Muslim outreach? Nothing.
Obama once bragged to the Arabs that he was the leader of the “largest Muslim country on Earth”, speaking of America believe it or not. It would seem that he is trying his hardest to make that wish come true.
If Qaddafi were an overtly pro-Western dictator, Obama would have denounced the violence and called for his immediate ouster. Enemies of the United States are, by contrast, now handled with intentional delicacy.
He will support them after they’ve won. “I was always with you.”
Has the WH issued condolences to the families of the 4 Americans murdered by the Islamist in Somolia.
Once again his silence is deafening.
In other words, 0bama said: “sucks to be you, I have a vacation to plan.”
doubt it, they were Christians handing out bibles
Has he said anything yet about the four American citizens slaughtered, their American blood spilled on foregin soils by Somali terrorists?
That was exactly my thought. Qaddafi was persecuted by the evil Reagan and therefore doesn't automatically get thrown under the bus.
Mizz Clinton added "I am prepared to use my influence to ask former AG Janet Reno to act as an adviser to Col. Kadhafi on resolving difficult domestic situations."
No, but Hillary Clinton just released a written statement condemning the murder of the American pirate victims.
Don’t hold your breath waiting.
He makes me sick.
