You can read President Obama's full statement here:
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.
WNU Editor: No mention of Islam, militant Muslims, Islamic terrorists, etc.. Nope ... no mention at all in his statement or in his remarks (see above video) on why this magazine was targeted and why they were killed. At least he is mentioning that it is was a terrorist attack .... unlike what his press spokesman said earlier today.

This was a pretty pathetic performance by Obama. It looked like he couldn't decide whether to take an afternoon nap or give a statement on the attack, so he decided to do both at once. By the end he was mumbling and trailing off. Just terrible.
