Obama: 'We've Closed An Important Chapter In This Tragedy'

President Obama addresses the apprehension of a suspected bomber, and the tragedies in both Boston and West, Texas. By Michael O'Brien.

The nation has "closed an important chapter" in its response to a terrorist attack on Monday, President Barack Obama said Friday evening at the White House, capping what the president called a "tough week" that captured much of the nation's attention.

After a day of anxious waiting that played out live on national television and in social media, police apprehended Dzhokhar Tsarnaev — the second, remaining suspect in Monday's bombing of the Boston Marathon — alive following a daylong manhunt that shut down much of the Boston metro area. (snip) The president warned against any rush to judgment. "When a tragedy like this happens … it's important that we do this right. That's why we have investigations. That's why we relentlessly gather the facts. That's why we have courts," he said. "That's why we take care not to rush to judgment -- not about motivations of individuals, certainly not about entire groups of people."

The War on Terror has been over for some time — I think it ended the day Obama picked up his Nobel Peace Prize.

True. but the war on us continues unabated.

In other words, don't rush to judgement about him.

It wasn’t an important chapter so much as it speaks volumes of The Religion of Pieces...

Even Franklin D. Roosevelt, for all his big government faults, would have gotten the basic morality of a terrorist attack on the American people right, unlike Obama. He would have been outraged and he would have known where to put the blame. The modern Democrat party is a leftist abomination that has no place in our politics.

“The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.” - Obama

Just the opposite, 0bumble. It must belong to those who tell the truth about the prophet of Islam and defeat his followers or we are doomed.

Obama, it will belong to those who call out a false prophet for who he is, a false prophet.

The nation has "closed an important chapter" in its response to a terrorist attack on Monday, President Barack Obama said Friday evening at the White House

Uh...no I am sorry President Obama this American does not see it that way at all, not at all. Besides the many obvious questions surrounding the radicalization I in fact have many no so obvious questions given these two had more than one bomb in waiting.

First a foremost in my mind right now is the media meme being spewed about the older one traveling abroad for 6 months. Even Fox News pundits are saying he was likely radicalized at that time. I disagree. He was trained and refined at that time, but his radicalization happened here, in the United States. Once near complete, he was sent overseas for training. Where did he get the money to travel? Who sponsored him and his trip?

We are already hearing the foundation being laid for the dysfunctional family meme being laid. From the family seeking asylum to very different views between family members to these young men being disowned by parts of the family. I want to know what the uncle knew and why he disowned them and if it was for terrorist type talk or recognizing the radicalization going on...the uncle needs to spill the beans. It is his duty to the United States and dare I say it is his duty to Islam, if he thinks these young men dishonored them.

And lastly, stop referring to Inspire as some sort of foreign terrorist magazine. Tell the damn truth about it. http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/us/2010/October/Al-Qaeda-Magazine-Inspires-Homegrown-Terrorism/ It was created by a native American to reach-out to radicalized Americans.

The radicalization is happening here, right here, on American soil all across our nation. No, Mr. President, no the 'chapter is not closed.' We've only seen the introduction.

If Romney were president now every Democrat and most members of the media would be saying this was a failure of his administration to keep Americans safe.

I’d still like to know more about the puke they first thought was involved and why the administration is covering for his moosie ass and are getting him out of the U.S. so quickly so as to not piss off them damn Saudis.

Had they deported him aka enforcing our existing laws, Boston would not have happened.

And because a foreign country made an inquiry, I have to believe that he was on a list and they're lying through their teeth.

And this Kenyan TURD calls himself a Christian?

Remember HOW our Heavenly Father telling us HOW to handle other religions,
how to show the proper reaction to their false gods.
Yes, remember:
