Axelrod: Obama thinks Boston bombings could be related to tax day

Weekly Standard ^

[Windy City Conservative]

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."

David Axelrod said, “I’m sure what was going through the president’s mind is” I hope this crap won’t keep me off the golf course!

In other words, Dear Leader has the outcome decided already.
He just has to place the players where he wants them.

I’m still betting on an attack of opportunity. There are tons of people and cameras everywhere.

Of course... that's why DHS and FEMA always have mobile command posts lurking near Super Bowl venues and other events that draw large crowds.

Democrats are going to use this crisis for everything they can wring from it up UNTIL THE TIME it’s proven to be an AlQaeda operation. When that’s proven, they’ll drop it like a hot potato...

Don’t rush to judgement BUT.......

Obama: “How can we spin this event to further our agenda?”

I said in another thread, this could be Obama's Kristallnacht...the opportunity to lay down some serious new directives against those on the right.

It’s good to see that America’s chief law enforcement officer (lol) is acting stupidly.

[EEGator]

I just mean that I don’t think it has anything to do with Israel’s Independence Day.

[kabar]

Obama won’t let this crisis go to waste. He thinks he can use it to rescue his gun control bill.

[laweeks]

Can anyone be comfortable just saying “I don’t know” anymore ?

Well, couldn't it have been done by one of Obambi's muzzie sons? Huh? Isn't he such an ass?

[plain talk]

Wow. I didn’t realize there was an IRS building at the same exact spot as the boston mnarathon finish line. What a coincidence? :-).

Then I say this is one surrender that I can fully support the Appeasement Monkey in the White House.
Stop the bloodshed! Cancel taxes now!

Actually I doubt much is going on in that empty, abandoned warehouse of a mind - other than the latest ESPN schedule, his next golf date, and the occasional tumbleweed of a random thought that blows across those empty caverns...

[Mr. K]

He THINKS it is related to tax day...

He is so wise

Must be those evil TEA party people. With their guns. We must take their guns. For the children

If only one child is saved....

..what was going through the President's mind...

Was that before or after the images of Reggie Love's naked body?

Way to GUESS, Obama. We won’t know the truth, will we? Especially if the person is Muslim.

[To-Whose-Benefit?]

You’ve misspelled the man’s name.

It’s Axel-Douche

Of course, the thought would never occur to Axelrod and his constitutionally-illiterate "progressives" that the ideas and principles underlying Patriot's Day are anathema to those who wish America and Americans harm!!
