Obama Says Boston Bombings an Act of Terrorism[W: 77]

Re: Obama Says Boston Bombings an Act of Terrorism.....

Well, the course material for the class was provided by DHS so I'm going to go with what they say. One guy asked when this information was released to the public, the answer was "after 9/11". It seems that was the tipping point for DHS training civilians to assist.

Yes, that's why the FBI agent explained that the FBI has the lead.....not so much about security of the nation.
 
Re: Obama Says Boston Bombings an Act of Terrorism.....

"Any time bombs are use to target innocent civilians it is an act of terror..."? I don't know if he wants to be making statements of absolute like that."

Terrorism didn't seem to bother Obama when he was with his buddies Bill Ayers and Frauline Dohrn... hell... he even let these terrorists raise money for him and open doors for him.

Anything is justifiable for socialists.
 
Re: Obama Says Boston Bombings an Act of Terrorism.....

Explaining satire is pointless. You either get it or you don't.

Actually I think you don't know
 
Re: Obama Says Boston Bombings an Act of Terrorism.....

I guess he's admitting he's a terrorist. This was his coming out speech.

Worrying about what the President labels the event is for those with too much time on their hands. What difference does it make... seriously?

Obama is not a socialist, he's a fascist. And anything is justifiable for government in general. It's not limited to any one type.

It matters partly as to how it will be written in the annals of history. And his interpretation will drastically influence the government reaction to this. I hope it's not going to be used as another power grab. But hey, look who we're talking about, of course it will be.
 
Re: Obama Says Boston Bombings an Act of Terrorism.....

Didn't Obama's buddy, Bill Ayers, do the same thing the Boston bomber did this week?

Exactly right! Our Silver-Tongued President puts his foot in his mouth, again.

By the actions of his predecessor and himself, the US government is the world's biggest terrorist. By Obama's words here, the US Government is also the World's Biggest Hypocrite.
 
Re: Obama Says Boston Bombings an Act of Terrorism.....

It's my thought that anytime someone or a group creates an event which causes pain, suffering, chaos and death, it's a terrorists act. Homegrown or foreign. Doesn't matter if it's a nutjob wielding a knife around stabbing at people. Or an individual shooting up a group of people. Terrorizing is terrorizing. Just a matter of how it's done and how many are caught up in it.

Correct me if I am wrong, but it seems you are OK with a president who picks and chooses what terrorists he likes to have assist him with his political journey.

Do you believe it is OK to have a president who got assistance up the political ladder from terrorists who used bombs as they had in Boston?

I guess if that's OK with you, you also feel it is ok to have a bigot and racist as his mentor too?

If you vote for and defend such and individual... it must be OK.That some terrorist bombers, some racists and bigots are more acceptable than others.

Obama claimed he had such terrific judgement... does a person with terrific judgement seek out such people to be associated with and to assist up the political ladder?

How do folks like you defend this? I am curious.

The truth is that Ayers and Obama hardly knew each other.

Two buckets of skunk vomit here on visas from the midle east. One is now dead the other will be soon.
 
Re: Obama Says Boston Bombings an Act of Terrorism.....

Maybe it's time to ban pressure cookers, or at least close the "Wal-Mart Loophole," wherein a housewife can just prance into any Wal-Mart and buy one.
 
Its so stupid that we make it a huge political issue whenever the president makes a comment after tragedies like this.

That tends to happen when stupid presidents make stupid comments.

Actually, the region is known as the Caucasus, the peoples are generally referred to as Caucasian.
 
Re: Obama Says Boston Bombings an Act of Terrorism.....

Considering the situation in Boston, I now believe that we need pressure cooker control. All pressure cookers should be registered with the Federal government, anybody who buys a pressure cooker should have a background check, and high capacity pressure cookers should be banned, except those being used to make sauerkraut (the sauerkraut loophole).

Which raises the point of why the President should make comments after such tragedies. Better yet, why the President should carry the families involved in such incidents around in Air Force 1?

The President's job is to uphold his oath of office and run the federal government. His job IS NOT to be some wannabe preacher leading some prayer meeting.

Obama started his political career in Ayers home

You're lying

I have no problem with Presidents addressing issues of national importance, such as these, providing it does not adversely impact on the investigation and solving the crime.

I did find it interesting, however, that the FBI had the photos and video images of these two suspects about 48 hours before they were released to the public and that the FBI had postponed several news conferences prior to the release causing the media and the public to speculate about why the pictures were being withheld. Then, miraculously, about 5 minutes after Obama left Boston following the memorial service for those who died, the FBI holds a news conference and releases the pictures and video. Is it possible that the FBI held off on the release until Obama came to Boston and left?

So if they had photos, etc, and they were reasonably certain they had the correct people, why were they not apprehended as suspects at that time, whether or not the President was giving a press conference? What has that got to do with it? They are expected to do their job no matter what the POTUS is doing, aren't they? :shock:
