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 Americas 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."
I will not be surprised the weapons used were provided by obama. Remember he sent thousands of weapons to Mexico resulting over 400 men, women, children being murdered.
He did the same in Benghazi with at least 4 Americans murdered and unknown number wounded. Both obama and Clinton employ muslim terrorists.

I also want to take a moment to address the video circulating on the Internet that has led to these protests in a number of countries. Let me state very clearly and I hope it is obvious that the United States Government had absolutely nothing to do with this video. We absolutely reject its content and message To us, to me personally, this video is disgusting and reprehensible. It appears to have a deeply cynical purpose: to denigrate a great religion and to provoke rage. But as I said yesterday, there is no justification, none at all, for responding to this video with violence.
THIS administration is willing to defend France’s freedom but not America’s.
0bama will only use the ‘T’ word when it’s overseas. Terrorism can’t happen domestically under 0bama’s watch, so if he doesn’t call it ‘terrorism’ it must be something else like ‘workplace violence’.
Actually Barack, it MUST!
I bet,,, He will never say it again ,, regarding this event...
0 brought in a stern-looking Biden for extra gravitas. /s
