Obama Finally Offers Sympathy

President Obama, 3 days after the fact, finally got around to offering sympathy to the families of the soldiers who were shot on Monday by a Muslim terrorist. Says Obama:
“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.”
Two things wrong here. First, why did he wait three days? Public pressure? He didn't wait 3 days to issue his statement about Dr. Tiller. Second- why he didn't use the soldier's rank when he issued the statement?
It may sound petty, but when a soldier, airmen or someone from the Navy is addressed or mentioned, they are addressed by their rank. Sgt. Smith, Major Jones, Admiral Byrd. It's a sign of respect to the rank and to the person.
