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."

Tragedy <====== No, terrorism. Tragedy would have been if lightning suddenly struck. Once again, the Muslim resident can't bring himself to call it what it is because it was perpetrated by his favored people.

He has worms and fleas. Wonder if a veternarian can prescribe a medication to deworm him and other for the fleas. Might have to have an exterminator come in and delouse the White House. Just thought it would be a god way to clarify what Our Parasite in Chief is truly.

Why wasn’t he on TV telling the MSM not to rush to judgement when they were trying (hoping) to pin this on some old white guy/NRA/Tea Party/Conservatives?

Yeah, that’s what I thought.

He’s a “Move On” guy. Al Queda is defeated (forget Bengazi); move on. What a tool.

What he's really upset about is that terrorist #2 is still alive so the story will be in the news for a LONG time. Bongo is definitely having a bad week.

He has worms and fleas.

Flies love to land on him, too, since he smells like $#!7. Even his family says so.

In an interview with Glamour magazine, Michelle Obama reveals that her husband, Barack, is so “snore-y and stinky” when he wakes up in the morning that their daughters won’t crawl into bed with him.The interview, in the magazine’s October issue, was conducted by Tonya Lewis Lee, who is married to Spike Lee, the filmmaker.

This is only two. There are many thousands of others.

It’s not over. Not even close.

There is only another million or so motivated Muslim Democratic terrorists hiding on the campuses.

This was just two, possibly three if one does accept the reality the Saudi national was indeed involved, possibly the instigator working on the behalf of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Quit telling us how to think, Bammy. Can’t you take a break from trying to control us for a moment while we celebrate this capture?

The Chechens have a lot of oil money which they use to send their kids here to live the high life. Not all are radical Islamists but I’m sure some are. It’s probably pretty easy for someone to pull the trigger since the one I just found out about (during a discussion of Boston) has no skills. That means he is utterly reliant on the money stream and whoever controls the money can control the kid.

Not at all. The Chechens are just one example.

Glad to hear he thinks it is all over....

I am hoping that Glenn Beck’s story will show all of us that it is, indeed, not over.

Oh, how I wish you were right, but the game and the lies will continue. The media will see to that.

Well said!

Even FDR, with all of his misguided socialist goals, probably thought he was doing something good for this country. Obamugabe hates this country and wants to destroy it, which is why Soros picked him as his window dressing.

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

It still blows my mind that a mere 7 years after 9/11, we elected a Muslim.
