President Obama and his national security team met today in the wake of the dramatic arrest Friday night of Dzhokar Tsarnaev, the surviving suspect of the terror attack at the Boston Marathon.

The weekend meeting lasted 90 minutes and was attended by FBI Director Robert Mueller, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, CIA director John Brennan, Attorney General Eric Holder, and other members of the National Security Council, according to a White House statement.

Vice President Joe Biden joined the Situation Room session via teleconference; Biden traveled to Detroit today for an evening fundraiser for the Michigan Democratic Party.

“The President commended the work that was done to pursue justice in the Boston Marathon bombing, and underscored the need to continue gathering intelligence to answer the remaining questions about this terrorist attack going forward,” the White House statement said.

Federal authorities tell ABC News they are planning to invoke a “public safety exception” with Tsarnaev, which allows for them to engage the naturalized U.S. citizen in limited interrogations when there is a threat of danger to the public, without him being read his Miranda rights.

But as the president met with his council today some Republican lawmakers urged the Obama administration to label Tsarnaev an “enemy combatant” as well, a legal status that would put him under the purview of a military commission, rather than a civilian court....

Don’t think the Bostonians will go along with BO’s spin on the USA being the problem.

BHO is saying everything he can to associate these terrorists as being “raised” in America. He is going for the “homegrown” angle as much as he possibly can!

It is vile and it is disgusting.

Dear Leader is concerned that burying this story might not be feasible, even with the assistance of the mainstream media’s lies and omissions.

“Vice President Joe Biden joined the Situation Room session via teleconference; Biden traveled to Detroit today for an evening fundraiser for the Michigan Democratic Party.” Apparently Biden dialed in to brief them on their main priorities.

“SHIP OF FOOLS”

Having a meeting on the deck of the Titanic.

Meeting on the Hindenburg.

Having morning breakfast at Pearl Harbor, Dec. 7, 1941.

[ I once asked my father-in-law where he was on Dec. 7th, 1941, and he said as a matter of fact, “Getting bombed at Schofield Barracks”. - Lesson learned)

Suggestion for the good of FR:

We need to start naming news in 0bama’s corner as ‘Undocumented OFA Department’ ABC....or CNN....etc.

Same for papers: ‘Undocumented 0bama Office’ NYT...Boston Globe...etc.

Same for reporters: ‘Semi-official Paid White House Spokesbot’ Adriana Huffington....Geraldo Rivera....Chris Matthews, etc.
