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.

Once again, POTUS Obama leads from behind!!! Once again, he lays the groundwork and words of “not rushing to judgement”, which when recognized for what he really means, is be kind to terrorists, especially my Muslim Brothers. Once again, Obama let these brothers off the hook, when his FBI let one of the brothers get a pass two years ago!!!

Once again, he has, over the past few days, totally neglected the West, Texas explosion, for which the cause is still not known. The authorities in Texas are treating this horrible incident as a crime scene, untill facts prove otherwise. Whether it is “Bengazi” or the Colorado military base massacre, Obama always sides with our enemies. Shucks, even the Democrat Party elected politicians have no use for him. Sad!!! That America is taken in by this total incompetent!!! Impeach this “Lame Duck loser!!!

The turning point was palpable during Rand Paul’s filibuster, but the events of the weeks since then - and now this - tell me Obama’s 15 minutes of mojo are up.

In the parlance of Asia, Obama now has no face. It’s all over except the bitterness and probably some fairly dangerous revenge.

Obama is going to give Revenge a new meaning. He loathes America and his true colors are going to shine more by the day.

Time to move along. Nothing to see here. I love how he gave credit to Boston for “doing their part”, as if they were assisting him. He went on to reiterate that our stupidity is our strength, and urged us to keep it up.

He is going to wish it was closed. I think that there is much to be learned about these two terrorists from Dagestan. They and their connections will be the gift that keeps on giving.

Obama’s one-sided personal education precludes him
from doing anything BUT “rushing to judgment”. He and
his ilk only know conservatism as it is filtered through a
liberal lens. It’s like my liberal friend of 35 years plus who
claims he teaches his high school AP history class objectively.
He asserts that his students can’t tell whether he is liberal or
conservative. That would be laudible except if ask him to
evaluate the LA Times he would swear up and down that
the LAT is a “middle of the road” news source.

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

After the Marathon that is pure treason. Supporters of the prophet are violent crusaders bent on destroying America and its values, same as they have alwayss been since the seventh century. They persuade by dealing death in the name of their false god.

Funny Hussein obama would have been the first to jump to conclusion and tell it as truth ,were the two White American men. As the 2 belong to his religion of p.iss, he forbids us to have our opinion.
obama go to hell with those 2 ba.stards.

>from an european who is sick and tired of you and european lefties and evil ISLAM.

Of course, those who admonish us not to "jump to conclusions" have already jumped to one.

Sadly, they are mistaken.

The skin color of these terrorist bastards is completely irrelevant, since we already know Muslim terrorists come in all colors, shapes and sizes. Those of us who "jumped to the conclusion" that the perpetrators of this massacre would be Muslims have been vindicated; those who jumped to the conclusion that we were jumping to a conclusion were wrong. Unfortunately for three people in Boston, they were dead wrong.

"That's why we take care not to rush to judgment -- not about motivations of individuals, certainly not about entire groups of people."

He should write that on a Hallmark card and send it to George Zimmerman.
