Boston explosions: Obama statement
23 minutes ago
The full statement by President Barack Obama after the explosions at the Boston Marathon:
"Good afternoon, everybody. Earlier today, I was briefed by my homeland security team on the events in Boston.
We're continuing to monitor and respond to the situation as it unfolds. And I've directed the full resources of the federal government to help state and local authorities protect our people, increase security around the United States as necessary, and investigate what happened.
The American people will say a prayer for Boston tonight. And Michelle and I send our deepest thoughts and prayers to the families of the victims in the wake of this senseless loss.
We don't yet have all the answers. But we do know that multiple people have been wounded, some gravely, in explosions at the Boston Marathon.
I've spoken to FBI Director Mueller and Secretary of Homeland Security Napolitano, and they're mobilising the appropriate resources to investigate and to respond.
I've updated leaders of Congress in both parties, and we reaffirmed that on days like this there are no Republicans or Democrats - we are Americans, united in concern for our fellow citizens.
I've also spoken with Governor Patrick and Mayor Menino, and made it clear that they have every single federal resource necessary to care for the victims and counsel the families. And above all, I made clear to them that all Americans stand with the people of Boston.
Boston police, firefighters, and first responders as well as the National Guard responded heroically, and continue to do so as we speak. It's a reminder that so many Americans serve and sacrifice on our behalf every single day, without regard to their own safety, in dangerous and difficult circumstances. And we salute all those who assisted in responding so quickly and professionally to this tragedy.
We still do not know who did this or why. And people shouldn't jump to conclusions before we have all the facts. But make no mistake - we will get to the bottom of this. And we will find out who did this; we'll find out why they did this. Any responsible individuals, any responsible groups will feel the full weight of justice.
Today is a holiday in Massachusetts - Patriots' Day. It's a day that celebrates the free and fiercely independent spirit that this great American city of Boston has reflected from the earliest days of our nation.
And it's a day that draws the world to Boston's streets in a spirit of friendly competition. Boston is a tough and resilient town. So are its people. I'm supremely confident that Bostonians will pull together, take care of each other, and move forward as one proud city. And as they do, the American people will be with them every single step of the way.
You should anticipate that as we get more information, our teams will provide you briefings. We're still in the investigation stage at this point. But I just want to reiterate we will find out who did this and we will hold them accountable.
Thank you very much."
"The American people will say a prayer for Boston tonight..."
Incorrect. Not all Americans are religious, or engage in religious ceremonies. The founders of the United States of America, had made it quite clear that this country (i.e. the United States Government) is to be strictly secular.
" thoughts and prayers" Where have I heard that before? Did these do anything at all, last month, the month before last month, and so on, and so on?
" serve and sacrifice" ad nauseam.
"salute" -used by militant politicians over and over for well over 2,000 years.
"But make no mistake - we will get to the bottom of this. And we will find out who did this; we'll find out why they did this." Sound familiar? Did you know that Barack Obama and George Bush (both), had a recent common ancestor?
"holiday", "spirit" ad nauseam.
"But I just want to reiterate we will find out who did this and we will hold them accountable."
Who did this? They forgot to look in the mirror. They have divided themselves, and these are the repetitious consequences.
But wait...Three people are killed and more than 100 are injured, and suddenly this is front-page world news?
Here's a news flash... Every day, for well over 50 years now, many more people are killed or injured in vehicular accidents. Who's responsible? GM, Ford, Daimler-Chrysler, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, etc.
In fact, in the Entire history of the United States of America, there has only ever been one Representative, in both the Legislature and Senate, who has been openly non-religious.
I'm still waiting for them to remove it from the currency.
Congratulations, you have demonstrated that you are capable of using the copy-paste function. Now, would you care to actually answer my question with something that follows logically from what is asked? Merely taking a phrase from my post and using that as an excuse to launch into a diatribe that is unrelated to the topic at hand (aside from the fact that you reuse the term "ad nauseum") is a not an appropriate response and is simply another example of you mindlessly preaching your beliefs regardless of context at any given opportunity.
You had asked me to specify, and I did.
I am not "preaching", but I think that your 'fearless leaders' are. Why don't you attack them?
I'm beginning to think that you had simply ignored what I had written, and are stubbornly clinging on to these Archaic beliefs, thus being part of the problem, and not part of the solution.
Your comment was composed entirely of copy-pasted material irrelevant to the conversation (again, other than the fact that you included the term "ad nauseum" as I did) and your comments on said material. Please directly answer the question. What is it about my comment that you found to be inaccurate? Provide specific examples and directly explain why they are wrong.
Your comment was composed entirely of copy-pasted material irrelevant to the conversation (again, other than the fact that you included the term "ad nauseum" as I did),
*AND your comments on said material.*
I did not ask you to provide an example, and certainly not an example with only the most tenuous relation to the conversation (Unless you are referring to the comment you just replied to as if your non-sequitur response was to a comment that I hadn't made yet). I asked you to specify what about my description of you was inaccurate and explain why. The unsaid implication there is that the thing you are specifying to be inaccurate must be something I said, not something you read in an article on a different website.

Incorrect.
My comment was not 'entirely copy and pasted'.
You had asked me to provide an example, and I did (from current events).
Did you read what I had written?
