WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama pronounced the deadly Boston Marathon explosions an act of terrorism on Tuesday as individuals close to the investigation said the two bombs were made of pressure cookers packed with ball bearings and metal shards that cut into the victims.

Speaking at the White House, Obama said investigators do not know if the attack was carried out by an international or domestic organization, or perhaps by a "malevolent individual." Three people were killed, including an 8 year-old boy, and more than 170 were wounded.

In his second public statement in less than 24 hours since the explosions, the president said, "Clearly we are at the beginning of our investigation." He urged anyone with information relating to the events to contact authorities.

Is he going to use the same investigating team that he did at Benghazi??

Captain Obvious finally speaks, eh?

[skeeter]

Its a sign of the times that the media feels it necessary to print such a ridiculous headline.

Poll/focus group tested.

Sharp as a bowling ball, that one...

oh now he comes out and uses the word TERRORISM...what a coward...a sham...a loser...who cares what ZERO thinks anymore...the world goes on without him and no one cares what he has to say — the biggest joke since Carter!

[Mr. K]

If he says so, it must be so.

Will the FBI and DHS consult him in this matter?

Welcome to the party, Dear Leader! The rest of America knew this within nanoseconds after it happened, what took you so long??


(I'd love to be a fly on the wall to hear how sock puppet Jay Carney spins this one!)

It's an act of radical islamists... that's what I want to hear from our President. Extremist is a term the totalitarian left likes to use for anyone who isn't part of their group-think...

I think he is jumping to conclusions too quickly without knowing all the facts. This could be a case of workplace violence. /s

I guess after 3 killed & 170 wounded, apparently 0dumb0 now can grudgingly "jump to the conclusion" that this was a terrorist attack. I'm sure he's still hoping & praying (to Allah) that the culprits are not his bosom buddy muzzzlim brothers.

“malevolent individual”

Like this guy:

[SparkyBass]

Now that they have a white, domestic, conservative group to pin it on they can call it “terrorism”
