Transcript of President Obama’s remarks after capture of fugitive Boston bombing suspect
Fox News Insider ^ | 4/20/2013 | Greta Van Susteren

...And we’ll continue to do whatever we have to do to keep our people safe.

One thing we do know is that whatever hateful agenda drove these men to such heinous acts will not — cannot — prevail. Whatever they thought they could ultimately achieve, they’ve already failed...

That American spirit includes staying true to the unity and diversity that makes us strong — like no other nation in the world. In this age of instant reporting and tweets and blogs, there’s a temptation to latch on to any bit of information, sometimes to jump to conclusions. But when a tragedy like this happens, with public safety at risk and the stakes so high, 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. And that’s why we take care not to rush to judgment — not about the motivations of these individuals; certainly not about entire groups of people.

After all, one of the things that makes America the greatest nation on Earth, but also, one of the things that makes Boston such a great city, is that we welcome people from all around the world — people of every faith, every ethnicity, from every corner of the globe. So as we continue to learn more about why and how this tragedy happened, let’s make sure that we sustain that spirit.

Tonight we think of all the wounded, still struggling to recover. Certainly we think of Krystle Campbell. We think of Lingzi Lu. And we think of little Martin Richard. Their lives reflected all the diversity and beauty of our country, and they were sharing the great American experience together.

We'll take away your guns and your rights and we'll spy on you, but we won't protect you.

We can't imagine why these people did this but we'll figure it out and tell you what to think.

We belong to the United States of Diversity. Enter, World!

Krystle and Lingzi and Martin died for diversity. There is no nobler end.

Diversity can be a weakness as much as a strength. After all, who wants to work on a project where there is a diversity of opinion about the goals of the project? It is like tolerance. Tolerating some things can be good, but who would argue that tolerating Hitler was a good idea?

When diversity includes adding a lot of evil, and then tolerating it, you have a recipe for destroying a country.

If I hear the word “diversity” one more time, I will spit on the source.

The "investigation" into the Newtown shooting is still ongoing, yet CT Gov. Malloy and his overlords in Mordor sure seem eager to "latch on to any bit of information" and "jump to conclusions" in order to trample on the Constitution.

I feel safe already. His immigration reform will make us even safer.

Morning Joe is still claiming that these terrorists are using assault rifles to kill us bought at gun shows without background checks, even after the bomber.

All the talk of diversity was developed so that anyone who choses to can pretend that large numbers of immigrants coming from failed nations and failed cultures are actually adding great new strength to the USA.

Share values are a strength. Diversity of basic values is likely a weakness. Contradictory values can tear a nation apart and even destroy it.

Hope some in media finally ask questions like how long Obama had been ignoring his daily presidential briefing on national security, esp. with regards to domestic terrorists.

This is when we should nail Obama and Napolitano about their focus on ‘right wing extremist’ and ‘returning veterans’.

Wanna-be Tyrant B. Hussein Obama: “- - - we welcome people from all around the world - - - -”

NEVER AGAIN, Commie Obama, NEVER AGAIN !

Let the massive Deportation begin!

BTW, Deportation of the Mexicans who invaded the USA since 1986 might be a good warm-up exercise before we Deport the Commies and the radical Liberal Professors.

BTW, BTW, should the Federal Bounty paid to a Citizen for a Citizen Arrest of a Mexican be lower than a Citizen Arrest for a Commie?

Indeed...very strange time to recite the ending to our Pledge of Allegiance. Tried to combine with his FORWARD commie slogan, to boot.

Maybe the feed was bad on his earbud.
