President Obama called this a "tragedy"???!!!WTH?!

Senator
What it was was an ACT OF WAR (at the worst) or at the very least a DESPICABLE VIOLENT ACT.

Calling it a tragedy is like calling a decapitation a "boo boo".

Obama said this:

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.

I hope that he carries out the investigation about what happened in Boston a little better than his administration has dealt with what happened in Benghazi. Obama has been an utter failure so far in this sort of thing.

This time MUST be better. I am not holding my breath.

Perhaps you don't know that a "tragedy" is a synonym of "calamity" and "disaster." Or perhaps you are pretending not to know this based on your a priori conviction that anything Obama does, including the standard, apolitical investigation into the events in Benghazi that answered any relevant questions about them, is an utter failure.

It is a tragedy. The President was right to call it that.

Is it an act of terror? Almost certainly. The President, however, (whether he be Obama or Bush or anyone else), has to choose his words carefully in the immediate aftermath of the event. Let the investigation take its course, and then use stronger language when the time is right. I give President Obama plenty of grief when I think he's wrong, but I believe he acted correctly with his brief remarks today. He did what the President should do.


We don't know whose responsible for what happened today. Unfortunately, this board is replete with hacks offering us their moronic theories. Not their finest hour. The thing to do know is to pray for those who need it, and wait for more information to come to light.

You would complain about how Obama described what happened in Boston today no matter what word he used.
 
ain't that the truth.

I think this is another one of those "people are picking on me, the misunderstood victim" posting efforts.

they almost always are
 
He needed a measured response. He was wise not to fling out blame (sometimes he has been known to do that). But "tragedy" is, in my opinion, an understatement.

And going by his record on finding the culprit who committed this sort of cowardly heinous act (Benghazi) I don't have much hope that he will have found out anything months down the road. I hope I am wrong. But right now I am just angry that this has happened again.

"Tragedy" was an understatement. "Heinous cowardly act" would have described it better.

And had Obama provided us with some explanation from his people regarding Benghazi by now I would have been glad to stand with him. But something in me expects that 6 months from now we still won't have any answers regarding Boston.

So forgive me for being angry.............or not................it is what it is and I do not apologize.

GOP haters are truly grasping at straws when they carp about Obama calling today's events a tragedy. They were hardly a comedy.

Yipes.

Because Obama should just don his superman cape and fly on over to Benghazi and single-handedly capture the perpetrators, right Jenny? Guess what, real life ain't CSI Miami and crimes don't get wrapped up in 48 minutes.
 
is there room for it to be both tragic and heinous? me..i think there's room for both and plenty more..
 
It is a tragic event and I have no problems with his words...

The Government is treating this as a terrorist act and Obama tragic comment is correct wording until we know more... You may want more but what he said was not incorrect...
 
Exercising your faux outrage again, I see. This one's reeeeeeally stupid.

Let's see... you hate him because he spoke too soon about Benghazi and because he's not doing the same on this one.

Yeah....you're genuine.

You've heard no explanation about Benghazi, eh? Change the channel and you'll get some answers. FOX will never have anything but questions. They were around during the Bush years....right?

If President Bush would have been scrutinized in the fashion that President Obama is, he would have been impeached before landing that fighter jet next to sign that read “Mission Accomplished” following Iraq’s invasion.

The very politicians and voters calling for an investigation over Benghazi are the same people who said it was unpatriotic to question the White House over these Middle East flare ups like Iraq and Afghanistan.

You were and are unconcerned about the "heinous, cowardly acts" of GWB for eight years....as well as all of the diplomats who died serving under him.

We don't know who did it. So, focusing on that end of things with words like "act of war" would have been both reckless and stupid. At this point, we know it was a tragedy. Was it a tragedy caused by some international terror group? Was it some Eric Rudolph type trying to take a stand against "socialism"? Was it some schizophrenic who thought a dog told him to do it? We just don't know yet. So the tragedy is the place to focus.
