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."

talking dog. no way no how. obama is a parasite (as defined -1. biology - an organism that grows, feeds and sheltered on or in a different organism while contributing nothing to the survival of the host. - 2 a person who habitually takes advantage of the generosity of others without making any useful return 3. a professional dinner guest, esp in ancient Greece 4. a sycophant, a person who coninually eats at the expense of another). Hopefully that clears that concept up once and for all. Do you not agree he is a parasite

Obama’s mother kept the afterbirth and through out the baby with the bathwater. that is why the birth certificate controversy exists yet today - and if fits the true nature of what Obama - HE SERVES NO PURPOSE OTHER THAN TO CONSUME OFF THE HOST AND HAS NO REAL VALUE, SUBSTANCE TO PROVIDE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. (Note I am not yelling pointing in caps the understanding of what the Parasite of the USA POTUS).

On a surprising note, Scott Pelley on CBS referred to this as an “event in the war on terror.” The CBS coverage last night was miles ahead of what I saw on Fox with Greta, by the way.

Scott Pelley on CBS called it “an event in the War on Terror.” Occurring within yards of the Harvard wall, in a place where leftist dogma has virtually expunged traditional Judaeo-Christian influence, this event may come as a kick in the teeth to our elites who comsider themselves transcendent.

What if Bush had said that after 9-11?

"When a tragedy like this happens … it's important that we do this right."

Translation from the Prompterese:

"We have to carefully and deliberately construct a coverup to ensure that no Democrat will ever pay a political price when protected classes go on a murderous rampage."

Can you imagine if this sort of thing happened more than 4 years into the Bush administration? There would be demands for hearings, investigations into why the bad guys were not stopped earlier, howling over how they failed to keep Americans safe etc. If any Republican were to dare to say anything now about the current administration’s failures they probably would be condemned and told not to bring partisanship into this.

4 people, including the poor 26 yr old cop who got murdered.

maybe obama would say the dead MIT cop was “acting stupidly”

not that theWon would be rushing to judgement or anything ....

He needed to talk to several of his comrades earlier this week about “rushing to judgment”...

David Axelrod who spoke for Obama while theorizing that it might be related to Patriots Day or tax day...

Chrissy Matthews and the whole MSNBC gang who were frothing at the mouth over the possibility that the bombing was done by Far-Right Bitter Clingers because, after all, it happened in Boston (as in Tea Party) on Patriots Day...

It’s absolutely disgusting. And the cherry on top is that we now are forced to endure The Won admonishing us peasants not to rush to judgment.

I agree with both points.

They already knew the older brother was dangerous and when they saw his image on video they went straight to him.

Your post is worth repeating, so I am:

“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.

You wrote: 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.

Well let’s cut them a break. It isn’t as if we’re spending billions a year on overblown agencies to keep us safe. We musn’t profile. We musn’t accuse anyone of anything until they actually blow some of us up. Now move along with eyes closed, and be sure to take off your shoes and get scanned and probed at the airport like a good little subject. It’s keeping us safer; I’m sure it is, because they say so.

Not sure from his tweets but it sounds like the one they caught was glad 0bama won last year. Can you imagine the media reaction if these perpetrators expressed support for Paul, or Palin, or anyone on the American right??

Obama looked disinterested and quite frankly peeved that he had to speak to this issue. His facial expressions at the end of his charade were disturbing.

Notice how he doesn’t condemn the murders. He NEVER does anything that would annoy his buddies.
When the ROP kills Christians, he’s silent. When a Christian insults his buddies, he’s outraged.

This only means The Won is in full damage control mode. The Islamic brand has suffered a major setback with the revelation that the perps represented major players in the struggle for dominance and the establishment of the Worldwide Caliphate, now being played out in Syria and under the Muslim Brotherhood. It is rather curious as to why this struggle was taken to the Boston Marathon, but score easy targets where you can, one would suppose.

This may have been an error in judgment by a couple of overzealous young soldiers of Allah, but clearly, it does not end with just these two young sons of Chechnya. The ties go much wider and deeper than that, though it may be doubtful whether the Current Regime is willing to make any of these bonds known. Not to worry, the Russian Federation is very good at connecting the dots in the Chechnyan puzzle, as they have wide experience in dealing with them on a direct basis.

Didn’t he say it’s been a bad week? It sure has for him. First guns, and now immigration... along with a whole bunch of questions that’ll come out about to the Boston mess.

This piece of crap still covering for islam.. There is no rush to judgement Obama. We understand that islam’s goal is our death and destruction. No amount of covering by you will change that.
