The day after........

[CCPete]

Without political comment. Just great words from the President after a sad day in America. His speechwriter deserves a raise.



President Obama today on Boston: "We also know this -- the American people refuse to be terrorized. Because what the world saw yesterday in the aftermath of the explosions were stories of heroism and kindness, and generosity and love: Exhausted runners who kept running to the nearest hospital to give blood, and those who stayed to tend to the wounded, some tearing off their own clothes to make tourniquets. The first responders who ran into the chaos to save lives. The men and women who are still treating the wounded at some of the best hospitals in the world, and the medical students who hurried to help, saying “When we heard, we all came in.” The priests who opened their churches and ministered to the hurt and the fearful. And the good people of Boston who opened their homes to the victims of this attack and those shaken by it.

"So if you want to know who we are, what America is, how we respond to evil -- that’s it. Selflessly. Compassionately. Unafraid."

Screw him. Did he finally admit that it was terrorism?

WTF?? I guess America would have been better served if he sat silent for 7 minutes then read passages from " MY Pet Goat" aloud.

GWB has nothing to with yesterday. Stay on topic.

#1 Read what you just quoted.

#2 Read the news.

#3 Stop being a bitch.

That's right, he should deem it a terrorist attack when there is no evidence yet of who perpetrated the crime or the purpose of the bombs. What possible impact would calling it a terrorist attack have, other than using hostile rhetoric to heighten fear and cause yokels like yourself to go and harass/harm innocent citizens?

You know, as I type this I realize how futile it is to change your mind - but at least recognize your fucking ignorance.

Actually, the disastrous Foreign policy from 2001 on could possibly have alot to do with Boston. We shall see......

LOL, our Foreign Policy has been inept for almost a century, not a decade!

Seriously guys, stay on the topic of meaningless petulant whining about word choice.
