In explaining why President Obama didn't call the Boston bombings a "terrorist attack," former adviser David Axelrod said, "I'm sure what was going through the president's mind is -- we really don't know who did this -- it was tax day":
"The word has taken on a different meaning since 9/11," Axelrod said of the phrase "terrorist attack."
"You use those words and it means something very specific in people's mind. And I'm sure what was going through the president's mind is -- we really don't know who did this -- it was tax day. Was it someone who was pro--you know, you just don't know. And so I think his attitude is, let's not put any inference into this, let's just make clear that we're going to get the people responsible."
Not sure..have not followed that story. I can’t keep up either.
To me at least, this confirms that we are involved in an undeclared civil war!
FUBO!!!
Something I’ve been pondering...I think what we may see is a new wave of terrorist acts like this. We are vulnerable with Obama and the world knows it. We know it here. Israel has dealt with these kinds of attacks for decades. However, the American people are not accustomed even after 9/11 to be mindful of this possibility. Our memories are short.
If smaller scale attacks like this become more frequent the American people will begin to cry out for more government protection. Think about that for a minute...
The Monday before Election Day, suits me just fine.
Man, I'm eating lunch, here. Gimme a warning before presenting that mental image, or something.
At least it wasn't "Helen Thomas"....
The Repubs should have done just that years ago, if they had the collective brains of a fruit fly.
Vote while the pain is fresh.
If it were related to Tax Day, I highly doubt the hit would be on a race that had nothing at all to do with taxes.
Yet, the liberals are salivating about it being a Right Wing, Christian, White man. Which is weird, since the shootings and other things that have been happening did not fit the description.
Does anyone else notice there are more of these types of mass killing tragedies since Obama has been in office?
Maybe once the public sees that happen AGAIN they will realize that Obama will do to the entire country EXACTLY what he did to Tyrone Woods: get his beauty sleep while we are shot dead while waiting for his regime to protect us from the targets that already had coordinates locked in for a hit, if we had a willing CINC instead of one who said he was and still is a Muslim who supports the Muslim agenda and would always “stand with the Muslims when the political winds blow an ugly direction”.
Obama is playing for the other team. When is somebody finally gonna just come out and say it so all the little Who’s in Whoville can hear it?
Axelrod and the gang SO want the bomber to be a right winger who hates taxes, they Sooo want this.

You are correct. And I SOOOO hope it IS a Saudi guy, just so it hurts Obama and the left even more.
So let’s get this straight...
Using the term “act of terror” now clearly precludes calling it “terrorism”...
But in the infamous debate moment (aka Read It Candy) calling Bengazi an “act of terror” was clearly labeling it as “terrorism”.
Alrighty then.
found an all clear at Logan Airport (smoke and cracking sound from a piece of luggage on plane). Plane cleared and at terminal. Will go take another look for info per our discussion. Thanks penelopesire. Seeing end of tunnel maybe.
I’m in total agreement with your assessment.
You just said it way better than I did.
I know for a fact that local National Guard unit is deployed to Africa right now.
Somewhat of a silent (in terms of press coverage) war going on there.
And they have stopped some of these terror plots before they happened until now; they will probably try to blame the sequester.
Whew ... time for more research
So by throwing that idea out there he just told us it was Muslim terrorism.
