Obama describes Boston Marathon bombings as ‘two brothers and a crock pot’

Obama characterized the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing attacks as “two brothers and a crock pot” on Monday in an attempt to explain the power of individual terrorist threats.

Speaking after a meeting with the G20 in Turkey, Obama referenced the Tsarnaev brothers in talking about the Paris terrorist attacks that killed 129 people and injured more than 350 on Friday. He said the marathon bombings show the devastation that can be caused by a small group of dedicated people.

“That was a serious attempt at killing a lot of people by two brothers and a crock pot,” he said. “It gives you some sense of the kinds of challenges that can be involved in this going forward.”

Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev killed three people and injured more than 260 others by setting off two pressure cooker bombs on Boylston Street in April 2013.

Just when I think he’s sunk as low as possible, he says something else that even further reduces my opinion of him.

If that were even possible.

It wasn’t a crock pot.

It was a pressure cooker.

Shows you what this moron knows about bombs.

Or terrorists.

Or cookware.

(That being said, obama’s glib and callous statements are extremely insulting to the dead, wounded, and people of Boston)

He can’t say Islamic extremism can he.

@krauthammer: “History will judge [Obama] for not only his denial & delusion but for his misreading of the importance of what’s at stake.”

“attempt at killing a lot of people by two brothers and a crock pot”

On April 15, 2013, double bombings near the finish line of the Boston Marathon killed three people and injured at least 264.

Zero makes it sound like a science fair project that got out of hand.

This was an outrageous statement by Obama. Two kids and a crock pot???,,,really???

Liberals can be so obtuse. The fact that they were motivated by radical Islam is conveniently left out by Obama. Obama thinks that the important detail is his errneous mention of s crock pot. This man is so obtuse in his liberalism.
