    Obama's weakness and stupidity is definitely showing.  “We will find out why they did this and bring the full weight of justice”  What the heck is this crap?!?  This wasn't a Chicago drive-by shooting, this was terrorism.  Justice doesn't work with them and we already know why.

    The trail for the bomber has now gone cold.  It still seems like it's an Islamicist who did this based on the weapon type, but I still fear that unfounded allegations against conservatives are going to be cast into the public eye because of this.  It has happened with previous national tragedies, and it seems to be happening already.  Tragedies are blamed on conservatives/conservative thought, but when the blame turns out to be erroneous later on, do we ever hear apologies?

    It seems to fit the MO of an Islamist type plot but I will wait before I explicitly blame anybody.  I have no doubt that we will eventually figure out who did it.

    The only ones blaming right-wing 'extremism' are the lowest rated shows on news television.  I wouldn't worry about it influencing the public in any way (although president dumbo and others are trying to blame this on the sequester)  It's open news now that a Saudi was somehow involved/a witness.  I'm really curious about that man on the roof.  My suspicion is it's nothing, but still.BTW, went to Boston yesterday afternoon.  The Charles River was crowded with rowers…kids, colleges, adults. If the terrorists' goal was to instill fear in Bostonians, they failed.

    And that is a good thing, it means that terrorism has failed in its goal of instilling terror.

    Alex Jones is saying that Navy Seals had something to do with the bombing.

    Well, skip what Alex Jones is saying for the time being…I think the photos on that page I linked to were taken from a variety of other sources.  One of the photos has a picture of where that boy was who died in the blast.

    Did anyone see Obama's press conference yesterday (it interrupted regular programming as a special report). Figured he'd talk about the terrorist attack in Boston, instead he talks about gun control. Had Gabby Giffords by his side.  What is wrong with this guy???  I couldn't believe what I was hearing.  But of course he's going to an “interfaith” church service in Boston today for a photo op.  I am so disgusted.

    He has his vision of the liberal utopia and it stands in contrast to the reality of America today.  The government has the power of bringing this change about, and he is the most powerful official there is.  It is incumbent upon him, therefore, to change the social order in order to accomplish his goal.  So I suppose I am not surprised at Obama's actions when viewed in this light.

    Somebody else pointing this out. The 3 photos on the left are of a Brown student who went missing a couple of months ago, the other photo is one of the bombing suspects.    Interesting.

    Well then his hair must have grown excessively fast since he seems to have shorter hair in the photos I saw of the Brown student.  I also don't think the face looks the same.

    The ongoing investigation is quite interesting.  I am waiting any moment for the two guys to be ID'd and caught.  Part of the interesting thing is the level of internet “sleuthing” going on, and the negative reaction to it by some people (e.g. the media).  I personally don't have any problem with people going on Reddit combing through photos and giving their opinions, even if they turn out to be incorrect.  I find it curious that some in the media react so negatively to this kind of thing.Crowdsourcing or Witch Hunt?

    Looks like they have at least one of them in custody now.
