WASHINGTON — The White House provided no explanation Monday amid questions over why the president had not ordered flags across the nation to half-staff in the wake of a Chattanooga, Tenn., shooting that killed five servicemembers.
Spokesman Josh Earnest said President Barack Obama offered condolences last week and may speak to veterans at VFW conference Tuesday about the shooting, but he had no further comment.
Obama has issued presidential proclamations that lowered flags at federal facilities and military bases after many mass shootings, including attacks at the Washington Navy Yard, Fort Hood in Texas, and Sandy Hook elementary in Connecticut. The lack of a proclamation following the deaths of four Marines and sailor in a possible terrorist attack Thursday by a 24-year-old Muslim man rankled some and spark online outrage.
“I don’t have more information about the status of the flag over the White House,” Earnest said, responding to a question at a daily briefing Monday with the press.

The shootings occurred while 0bama was c3lebrating the last day of Ramadan.
I did something today I have never done before. I emailed the WH demanding they lower the flag. I never email them because they ask for so much personal information but I don’t care any more. I am sick of Obama and his blatant disregard for our military!
Is it really that hard to figure out? I’m sure he said something to the effect of, “I don’t give a damn and you can’t make me...!”
Here’s the explanation. Domestic Islamic terror doesn’t fit The One’s narrative. It needs to go away.
And anyways, he was too busy looking at the lights in NYC lit up for EID.
Obama and his henchmen will not say out loud the reason why. But it’s obvious they don’t consider this to be a serious enough incident. Not enough people died, and/or given that the perpetrator is Muslim, we have to bend over backwards so as not to offend them. It might be offensive to Muslims if we lower the flags in honor of the victims.
The truth is along those lines. But they can’t say so out loud.
Kudos to John Boehner for hearing the voice of the people and lowering the flag at the Capitol. Credit where due.
No, he explained.
Kings don’t need “reasons” to not lower our country’s flag...
No explanation needed....I think that we know the reason.
It’s not a time of mourning for the Dirtbag In Chief, he was in the White Hut celebrating.
Why would obama would take note of the murder of white folk? Black lives matter, donchaknow?
The longer it takes, the more deliberate it looks.
P*ss on Baraq, fly your Confederate flag at half mast!
One possible explanation would be that the WH staff fear that once lowered, Old Glory would be replaced by something else.
Just juxtapose pictures of the killed military personnel against Whitney Houston, Trayvon, Michael Brown, etc and you get the answer. This is like playing poker with marked cards.
