But how are our freedoms and liberties going to be trampled upon in order to make us feel more safe?

Given the setting for the blast, the sequence of blasts, the presence of ball bearings this would have all the markings of the IRA. Of course motive is missing but method and location would point that way if this were 30 years ago.


Some other stuff I’ve observed makes your observation very pertinent. Thank you.

I wonder what tipped them off this was terrorism?

I didn’t immediately think it was terrorism when the first explosion occurred right near the finish line in one of the biggest marathons in the USA.

When the other explosion happened close by and shortly after. I still didn’t think it was terrorism.

When the third explosion rocked another location, I admit, I DID get a little suspicious it might be terrorism.

But, like the Obama, I didnt want to get too out in front of it and call it terrorism.

More likely, as the facts came in he realized there was no way he could put it off to “workplace violence” and decided he had to, albeit reluctantly, admit what everyone with half a working brain cell had already figured out.

Someone at the White House explained to Obama that if the act, by nature, terrorized citizens then it was an ‘act of terror’. Now Obama is wringing his hands hoping they can find a George Zimmerman that isn't Hispanic and attended a Tea Party rally, to pin it on.

I guess Obama can find his butt with both hands.

As long as he has a fully illustrated road map.

If the White House believes that this was an act of terror, their next step will be to blame Conservatives and the Tea Party.

The parenthetical comment, 100% wrong. He found some push back apparently in just seconds after he left the air having given a speech with not one trace of emotion, compassion or empathy and not using the words terror or terrorism.

Chuck Todd was on NBC very quickly putting forth the WH update you see in these next paragraphs from this story. They tried to get away with their no terrorism language again and it didn’t work——

“When multiple devices go off, that’s an act of terrorism,” a senior administration official told Fox News, just moments after President Obama delivered a statement to the nation and did not use the word “terror.”

The official stressed that with details still coming in, it is unclear whether a foreign entity like Al Qaeda was behind it or whether it was home-grown terrorism. As a result, this official said the administration did not want the president to get out too far ahead and directly call it “terror.”

Well, Richard Serino was and is right there, after all........

“Mr. Serino brings 35 years of state and local emergency management and emergency medical services experience to his position at FEMA. Prior to his appointment as Deputy Administrator, he served as Chief of Boston EMS and Assistant Director of the Boston Public Health Commission. In that role, he bolstered the city’s response plans for major emergencies, including chemical, biological, and radiological attacks. He also led citywide planning for H1N1 influenza. Mr. Serino has served as an Incident Commander for over 35 mass casualty incidents and for all of Boston’s major planned events, including the Boston Marathon, Boston’s Fourth of July celebration, First Night, and the 2004 Democratic National Convention, a National Special Security Event.”

PREZBO did not use the “T” word, he will NEVER be recorded using that word. He lets his buttboys release a statement after the fact.

I don’t like to disrespect people, but I will make an exception; he is a disgraceful sack of a spineless gasbag and small mindedness.

The jackasses in the government that have continued to allow immigration from known terrorist supporting nations or even Islamic ones are also just as guilty! We are still at war for heaven sakes. Did we allow Germans to immigrant during world war two? Of course not! Daaaa! What a bunch of traitors we have in government. Well meaning or not...traitors.

Hussein did not say it - it was someone trotted out later to cleanup:
