President Obama vowed on Monday night to get to the bottom of who is behind a pair of deadly explosions near the finish line of the Boston Marathon, but warned Americans not jump to any conclusions.
Don’t jump to conclusions, like when Obama called the Boston Police Department racists in 2009, without knowing any of the facts of the arrest. Or when he did the same with George Zimmerman in 2012.
It might actually have been a spontaneous YouTube protest or workplace violence.
“The American people will say a prayer for Boston tonight,” Obama said
What Obama meant to say was that “Boston will be in our prayers” but it accidentally slipped out as a command. I’m pretty sure that the 1st Amendment prohibits the government from telling people to pray (as opposed to asking them.)
Islamic terrorists succeed through lies and betrayal.
Obama does too… Hmmmmmmm……
OK, maybe times are too conducive to cynicism, but … …
I’ve seen the videos of the blasts several times now and I can’t help but think “These are pretty piss-ant little poof-tahs, compared to real-life ‘terr-o-rist IEDs’ and such in the Middle East”.
Yeah, people got hurt with shrapnel and there may have been a few limbs lost, but … … nobody died. These were scare-bombs, not kill-bombs.
Now, who might benefit from the general population being scared of seemingly random acts?
If you start hearing about the need to reduce the size of public gatherings … in the name of safety … you’ll know the answer.
The First Amendment reserves “the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances” … … … … unless this government can insist that “public safety” negates that right.
BULL-SHI*
I agree that the explosions weren’t overly large, unless you happened to be standing next to them. Let’s not get carried away. This was a terror act, but we don’t know yet by whom. If I was a book, I wouldn’t be taking bets on religion.
I think they have just burned the Reichsdag ‘accidentally’ .
They’re looking for Richard Jewell right now.
Most of mine come from the heart, and not without a few tears–especially as related to tyrannical acts like this. The High Priest of the Kingdom of Government as God will now dictate when and where to pray!
Reblogged this on Climate Ponderings.
I do NOT think that he was ordering everyone to pray. I think that he was predicting that some people would pray. If you don’t want to pray, that is up to you.
Obama is very careful with his words, and you should listen carefully. America has gotten in trouble because people don’t listen to what Obama is actually saying.
‘accidentally’ .
“…not to jump to any conclusions.” — he’s referring to Benghazi, I’m pretty sure. Notice how quickly his little white house put out that it was an “act of terrorism”–he doesn’t want that precious point to get away from him again; and he wants the American people to remember he was quick to say them this time, so his followers can deflect any future criticism about Benghazi by saying, “oh, look how quickly he called the BOSTON attack an act of terrorism, so stop about Benghazi already”. The problem this time will come if it IS an act of ISLAMIC terrorism, and he has to add THAT word–because he won’t. Then, somewhere, there will be a Boston Marathoner who made an anti-Mohammed video, or who laughed during the showing of one…
Maybe they were oversized assault soft-drinks that were exposed to a teaparty leaflet and spontaneously detonated. Or, genetically mutated fundamentalist chicken sandwiches bitterly clinging to their freedom. Never mind, the gubbermint will sort it out, and the Great Golfer will kick everyone’s non-compliant sovereign behind.
LOL at the comments below. You guys are so ignorant. How does this prove that Obama is Muslim? He’s being rational about the situation. These kids were just SUSPECTS. There was no proof that they were the criminals, especially because they were stripped of mirinda rights. Please keep your islamophobic comments to yourself, you’re just proving that America is filled with racist ignorant individuals like yourself.
Sinceraly,
a Canadian.
You are holding a conversation inside the echo chamber void in your head.
Sarah,
You’re not very bright as you think you are…
Sincerely,
An American.
Lou,
your comment seems very Ironic, don’t you think?
Liberalism sure is a mental disorder. Please seek mental help.
There’s no proof they killed a cop????
….what planet are you on
The cops were shooting at them, it’s called self defense. Plus, I doubt it’s hard to get a gun in America since you can buy one at your local Wal-Mart.
In response to your question, I live in a world that’s controlled by the media.
Not hard to get? Everybody has to do a background check, you buffoon.
You’re hilarious,
if you knew anything about these boys, or even kept up with the news, these boys have no criminal background either! One was going to med school, an ordinary kid. The other was a father of one.
Yes, I’m a liberal. At least I care about the the rest of the world and like Obama stated, I don’t jump to conclusions.
BAM! WOW! Ya wonder how I knew that???? Liberal. Really, Not surprising! 😆
Sarah at least you admitted it, and stood up for yourself. kudos fer that!
You have your own definition of “liberal” which means absolutely nothing when it comes to classical liberal. Might as well just call yourself socialist or communist. That would be much more accurate.
What a buffoon.
Obama OFTEN jumps to conclusions. What planet are you living on? What a clueless twit…
haha, I’m sorry but the last time I heard the word twit was I use to watch cartoons.
Nice vocabularly you have there..Grow up and stop being so ignorant.
Lou, you talking to Me? About liberals?
Well Lou?
Sarah,
Typical Alinsky tactic…
You must worship Rules for Radicals book every night before you hit the bed.
Libtards like you are the most clueless ignorant idiots I’ve ever seen in the world…
Well Lou Me guesses you weren’t talking to Me.
Sarah has to do her own thing, and learn.
And trust me I voted Liberal a couple of times!
‘Yes, I’m a liberal. At least I care about the the rest of the world and like Obama stated, I don’t jump to conclusions.’
To immediately insinuate that we don’t care about others is jumping to an extremely bigoted conclusion.
Yep!
But don’t confuse Liberals with Libertarians.
leftinbrooklyn, Me comment wasn’t directed at you. Just saying!
Me,
I thought I replied to you but I guess not. It was for Sarah.
Really, thar Lou?
I’m still here so tell Me a story thar?
WOW nothing, that was very informative thar Lou! Thanks!
Sarah, just from reading what you posted here, I am guessing your a liberal too! Since you said you are Canadan!
😆 Canadian!
His lack of any faith isn’t an issue, but the fundamental transformation of our country certainly is!
What do you think he and his merry band of czars were & are thinking?
What is it about America that pisses them off the most?
Curious minds want to know…
Yep!
Chewer,
I am most certainly not an expert in sociology or phycology, so I don’t know why those who decided to bomb Boston, did so.
However, through my own opinions, it is wrong to generalize a whole religion for the act of a couple individuals. Those who do commit crimes, fall back on religion as a scapegoat.
As of right now, no one knows who the true criminals of the Boston bombings were and what led them to the act. Right now, they just have suspects, whether they be innocent or guilty.
Yer kidding thar err something, Right Sarah?
In addition,
Like a previously said, I am not sure why the crimes were committed, but there could be multiple reasons.
– The Middle East and countries in the global south or victims of American bombs.
– You invade countries who supposedly have oil
– America has one of the dirtiest history’s in contrast to any other country. (This is what Canadian history teaches us)
Excuse Me, what history is that? The new hate Alberta oil sands history err something?
Sarah, continue, I, err Me as a Canadian here would like to know more of what you believe?
Me,
I apologize, I don’t understand what you’re trying to say..
However, in regards to Canadian oil, it’s VERY costly to extract due to the sand. All I meant to say that, America decided to invade many countries that do have oil.
Like I said, it’s Canadian history.
You’re paranoid. Typical faux liberal feeding off emotions, not facts.
Don’t apologise to Me, I am a low person on the totempole probably much like yourself. But somehow we keep having to pay. Do ya understand that?
Big O and his merry band of fellow travelers have an agenda and lie to the world daily for a means to an end. Whatever he meant by a fundamental transformation, is not good, as we look at his actions and ignore the words…
The U.S.A. has done more to liberate and protect peoples freedoms than any other country on the planet and without us, we’d all be speaking German, Japanese or some other language here and in Canada.
History is full of repetition and wanting to control your surroundings always end in strife &/or war!
I do not care what others think or feel and do not accept anyone’s ideas & actions that stifle my own freedoms, especially when it comes to the Constitution & Bill of Rights that govern our Nation.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do, but keep your shit out of my back yard and do not attempt to force your world-view on to others.
Yep. exactly, through out history nations have been conquered, yet the US and Canada to a lesser extent have occupied countries, but the end result was we left willingly. Unike others through history.
Unlike others through history.
