Obama Calls Magazine Murders a 'Terrorist Act'
Weekly Standard ^ | January 7, 2015 | DANIEL HALPER

Posted on 01/07/2015 7:32:00 AM PST by COUNTrecount

President Obama's statement on the terror attack in France:

"I strongly condemn the horrific shooting at the offices of Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris that has reportedly killed 12 people. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of this terrorist attack and the people of France at this difficult time. France is America’s oldest ally, and has stood shoulder to shoulder with the United States in the fight against terrorists who threaten our shared security and the world. Time and again, the French people have stood up for the universal values that generations of our people have defended. France, and the great city of Paris where this outrageous attack took place, offer the world a timeless example that will endure well beyond the hateful vision of these killers. We are in touch with French officials and I have directed my Administration to provide any assistance needed to help bring these terrorists to justice."

Earlier, White House press secretary Josh Earnest was unsure the attack was "terrorism."

Oooh. I don’t know if Obama should have used the “T” word. This was clearly just a tragic case of workplace violence.

Of course, when it happens here, it’s simply domestic violence or civil disobedience which is approved by the black muslim pos.

It is a leftwing magazine. Of course it was a terrorist act. If it was a righting magazine, it would be due to a failure in conservative values or Islamophobia.

The next couple days will separate journalistic enterprises that actually publish the cartoons of this story...from the trembling poodles (NYT, WaPost, CNN?) that give in to Muslim terror and continue to hide the images.

Well their’s certainly doesn’t. I’m guessing deep down he’s really okay with it.
