Obama: Don’t form opinions on Boston attacks until government decides
Americans should not decide their opinions about the Boston terror attacks until the government decides its own opinion, President Barack Obama told the nation late Friday night.
“There’s a temptation to latch on to any bit of information, sometimes to jump to conclusions,” Obama warned during his 10:05 p.m. EST speech from the White House.
“But when a tragedy like this happens … it’s important that we do this right,” he claimed.
“That’s why we have investigations … That’s why we have courts. And that’s why we take care not to rush to judgment — not about the motivations of these individuals; certainly not about entire groups of people,” Obama insisted.
According to video, witnesses and one of the bomber’s own statements, the bombs were placed by two immigrant Muslims with ethnic roots in war-torn Chechnya.
Chechens are an ethnic group whose homeland is in the Caucasus Mountains, south of Russia. The area was conquered by Russia armies in the early 1800s. Most Chechens are Muslims and want their own independent country.
Obama has tried to downplay the evidence that Muslims are more likely to launch terror strikes than are other immigrants or Americans. For example, his deputies have classified the attack in November 2009 by a U.S. Army Muslim in Fort Hood as a crime, not a jihad attack, despite Major Nidal Hasan’s screams of “Allahu Akbar!” as he opened fire on his fellow soldiers.
The attack killed 13 Americans soldiers and civilians, and wounded 30 more. Because it is deemed an ordinary crime, the wounded soldiers do not get the Purple Heart medals normally awarded to soldiers wounded in combat.
Obama has also sought to strengthen ties between the Democratic party and the relatively small number of Muslims in the United States.
Wild Thing’s comment…………………..
Muslim Obama is not liking that two Muslims ( terrorists) will be blamed for the Boston Marathon attack.
Translation: The Government will tell you what to think.
obama realizes that the people who were stupid enough to vote for him twice will still be stupid enough to believe what he says. He also knows he has most of the national MSM behind him pushing his agenda and orders. More cover up.
