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.

Yeah, we know who the crack pot was... (oh wait) crock pot...


After the events in Paris on 11/13, I will be adding
this to my posts for the next week. I'm certain our
turn is coming again soon. We stand united against
Islamic extremists.


Some music for reflection if the mood strikes you.

An honorable mention also goes out to Lassana Bathily , a Muslim immigrant from Mali.
Mr. Bathily sheltered customers at the Jewish Deli and helped police by providing info
on the terrorists, and providing the location of survivors in the deli.

“Two Brothers and a Crockpot”

He has it confused with a moving company.

They aren’t people. They are muslims.

He was being especially harsh here. He usually refers to them as folks.

Russia Warned U.S. About Tsarnaev, But Spelling Issue Let Him Escape
http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/boston-bombing-anniversary/russia-warned-u-s-about-tsarnaev-spelling-issue-let-him-n60836

“The Russian government warned U.S. authorities that Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev was a violent radical Islamist more than a year and a half before the April 2013 bombing, but authorities missed multiple chances to detain Tsarnaev when he was traveling to and from Dagestan for terror training, according to a soon-to-be released Congressional report. “

It was a pressure cooker, not a crock pot.

All of you are micro-agressing against the Sultan. He cannot be expected to worry about unimportant details of an unimportant event involving unimportant Americans. It is not as if the Boston victims were big Hollywood Democrat donors.

Omoron needs to be evicted from the rainbow house. He is putting the country at risk. I was watching the Communist News Network and they were actually talking about the attacks in France. Of course the only reason they show the attacks is to blame it on global warming.

I just got home from work and watched the press conference from Obama today. I am stunned at the ignorance I heard and his statement regarding Boston was outrageous.

Our candidates should be harping on this non-stop. His administration played a huge role in the creation of ISIS by supporting the Arab Spring and withdrawing completely from Iraq. On top of that, he simply can’t admit the true nature of the threat we face. He called ISIS the JV and said they were contained and oh, by the way, the two brothers were refugees!

Unreal. You know it’s bad when the MSM is hammering him. He is completely tone deaf.
