Re: Obama Says Boston Bombings an Act of Terrorism.....
Obama only needed.....wait until he hears from all he needs to on the issue then he declared it for what it was. Anything Prior to 911 the FBI always considered any bombings to be terrorist related anyways, then anything after 911 it was written into law that FBI would be the lead agency on Bombings.
It is doubtful that that idea came into play in the timing of the announcement. Even then, what difference would it make waiting to call it a terrorist act? He called it a terrorist act today. A rush to judgement was not necessary yesterday. It was not needed. In fact, with television networks flogging the tragedy for every goddam ounce of viewership they can get, it was a good decision on the part of the White House to let things settle a bit.
What difference does it make in the scheme of things to Joe and Jane Sixpack? Sure political partisan dickwits are going to try to play "Gotcha!" with exactly what Obama said, exactly when Obama said it, and exactly how Obama was sitting in the Oval Office when he was being briefed. NONE of that matters except to partisan pukes, most who have the brains of a large rabbit.
