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."

Massachusetts is a cursed socialist land that put the likes of Barney Frank, Kerry, and Ted Kennedy in Congress for years.
These raghead pukes wouldn't try this in Wyoming, they would stick out like a sore thumb.
Obama intentionally uses the word “tragedy” instead of the word “CRIME.”
Weren’t there rumors of Chechnyan fighters in Libya and Syria? Maybe the Russians can help clarify... the Islam loving US gov’t won’t.
Sorry, but this is not a tragedy. At tragedy is a story in which the protagonist dies due to a flaw in his character that proves fatal. This was a terrorist attack.
How about “He is a talking dog with parasites”?
Obama: ‘We’ve Closed An Important Chapter In This Tragedy’
OK, then we’ve closed an important chapter in regards to Sandy Hook. Closed. “Shall not be infringed” remains central to our way of life. We no longer need a “national conversation about guns”.
... unless, of course, you are ready to have that national conversation about Islam.
Since the President’s friends from the Weather Underground dropped terrorism and took up indoctrination on college campuses, no other enemies have attacked America from without or within. Except Islam.
It’s time for that national conversation on Islam.
“If Romney were president now every Democrat and most members of the media would be saying this was a failure of his administration to keep Americans safe.”
Yes! The angle of every newspaper this weekend and every talking head show Sunday morning would be about how the Romney administration caused this by cutting government spending and focusing too much on tax cuts for the rich.
The re-branding of the muslim terrorists will be in full force this Sunday. by next Sunday, they will be just a few “yuts, out on a lark” fighting against Capitalism and an unjust oppressive system run by Christian bigots who hate gays and women while all the hopes of the left and the democrat party that this was perpetrated an actual American will be swept under the rug.
I really wish Democrats would just join islam and leave us alone. The burkas would be an improvement for most of them.
Bent on destroying America?
Their goal is to destroy all of Western Civilization, and, ultimately, the entire non-Islamic world.
After a full 3 months in office the Romney/Ryan administration would have been expected to root out ALL the bad guys in the country.
No materr WHO set this into motion, Bill Ayres or Radical Islam, we will see more.
Agree with both. It does seem that the wheel is turning, but we’ll know more if illegal immigration “ reform” bites the dust. We do know that even if is proven that Zero is the antichrist, the drive-by media will still be his lapdogs.
I listened to B-HO’s monologue. Sounded like a professor listing items on a summary of a social studies course. We didn’t need an empty lesson from B-HO. Actually, we needed him to go back inside and shut his stupid mouth.
Mr. President, aren't you ashamed to even ask those questions when it is evident, even to the least intellectually developed that the "young men who grew up and studied here" only put in practice what you and your ilk have been teaching and preaching and then you have the nerve to act all innocent and surprised!!!
The president added: "We will determine what happened, we will investigate any associations that these terrorists may have had, and we'll continue to do what we have to do to keep our people safe." (My emphasis)
There you go again, Mr. President with your warped sense of your duty and responsibility. You shouldn't be determining anything (as in Benghazi) Mr. President because those actions either create more problems or cover up evidence.
Facts, Mr. President, facts should determine what happened. Facts without your or your minion's actions interfering, covering up, delaying, withholding and exercising executive privileges.
Mr. President, if you want to play 'king of the mountain' at home with your wife, daughters and dog, that is between you and them but when you are performing duties of your elected, temporary (4 yrs) job as chief executive, being paid with public funds, living in public housing, it would serve you well to remember who employs you and to whom you MUST answer.
This’ll be swept under the rug so fast it’ll make your head spin.
“Glad to hear he thinks it is all over....”
OK, well, glad that’s over, and now, back to gun control and immigration reform...
“Didnt he say its been a bad week?”
It’s all about HIM, you know...this really throws a monkey wrench in the machinery of his agenda. Very bad.
“Obama intentionally uses the word tragedy instead of the word CRIME.
This needs to be reinforced. Words matter, and these choices of words are NO ACCIDENT.
Has the jihadist been Mirandized yet???????
The part of me that believes we have very evil people in government right now wonders if an order came down not to Mirandize him for a specific reason.
