President Obama Friday took time out of his day to make a politically motivated call a Georgetown Law student who had been insulted by Rush Limbaugh, but he failed to utter a single public statement or make any calls – as far as we know – related to the tornadoes raging the same day across the Midwest.
The tornadoes have so far killed at least 39 people. The Georgetown Law student had her feelings hurt.

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney didn’t bring the matter up during his briefing Friday.
The White House finally got around to referencing the tragedy Saturday, releasing details of work by FEMA and a short statement noting that Obama had made pro forma calls to the governors of Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio to offer “condolences to families†through them.
