Army Major General Harold Greene was murdered in Afghanistan on August 5, but President Obama hadn’t said a word about it. Skeptical tweeters wondered if he ever would.
Well today, two days later, he finally broke his silence:
Pres Obama used his bill signing speech to mention the loss this week of Maj Gen Harold Greene. Called him "a dedicated American soldier."

"Our prayers are with the Greene Family as they are with all the Gold Star families," said Pres Obama in his V.A. speech.

Nice of Obama to “mention” the slain hero.
@markknoller Well that's big of him

.@markknoller No doubt his family will be eternally grateful that he finally got around to it before he goes on vacation. #tcot

Hey, it was the least POTUS could do — the very least.

Not to mention sad and incredibly disrespectful. But what else would you expect from him?
@redsteeze He made sure to give a "shout out" to someone at the Indian Affairs ceremony just after the Fort Hood shooting ended
