Not like this is much of a shock but even after all this time I still shake my head in disgust. President Obama has released his official statement on the terror attack that claimed 53 innocent lives and injured over 50 people. Of course, the idiot-in-chief would not place the blame squarely where it belongs, but rather ignore the glaring pink elephant in the room.
According to DailyCaller:
The White House released a statement Sunday morning on the Pulse Nightclub attack, yet unlike all the major news outlets it refrained from recognizing the actions of 29-year-old Omar Mateen as radical Islamic terrorism.

“The President was briefed this morning by Lisa Monaco, Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism, on the tragic shooting in Orlando, Florida. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and loved ones of the victims,” reads the statement.
“The President asked to receive regular updates as the FBI, and other federal officials, work with the Orlando Police to gather more information, and directed that the federal government provide any assistance necessary to pursue the investigation and support the community.”
What about you? Does this shock you at all?
