CNN - Suspect charged with murder in slaying of gay teen in Puerto Rico

So here it is late Wednesday and I finally see a mainstream news site reporting on Jorge's horrible murder.

I still feel that Obama and the White House should release a statement supporting a federal investigation of a possible hate crime. The Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act was signed into law for crimes like this.

Will we go another day waiting for Pres. Obama to make a statement condeming the killer of Jorge Steven Lopez Mercado?
