[green pastures]

Thanks for the ping.

I too searched around the official WH site and wasn't able to find any statement. A web searched turned up:

"Meanwhile, in a statement released by the White House Wednesday, President Obama said, “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.” "

So, the “only” evidence that the White House made ANY statement is the LOCAL TV Station which alleges the White House released a statment - a statement which can NOT be found on the White House Web Site - although (timely!!) statements regarding just about ANYTHING can be found there ...

I call BS.
