What type of convoluted logic are you attempting with this comment

You're inconsequential. I neither wish for your death nor do I waste the emotion of hate on you.

You're simply being far too cavalier about the numbers. Numbers matter whether you wanna admit it or not.

Really?
I don't think anyone is arguing about that, but think of what could have happened if all the bombs had gone off or if, indeed they had succeeded with hitting NYC? No matter how we look at it, but acts were acts of terrorists and the question is: was Bush responsible for 9/11 but Obama not for Boston?

Does it really matter? Regardless of whom we attempt to blame, the dead aren't coming back and the act of terror can't be undone.

There's too much evidence to the contrary.

Accordingly, the evidence is clear that the Barack Obama Administration was fully aware of the Boston Bombers. It was his Administration that placed the elder bomber on a terrorist watch list. It was his Administration that fielded a tip from Russia. It was his Administration that interviewed the elder bomber. It was his Administration that dropped the ball.

Therefore, it's time to throw liberal ideology back in the faces of the irrational and irresponsible liberals who have consistently and persistently blamed George W. Bush for 9/11.

The blood of Boston is on the hands of none other than Barack Hussein Obama. And don't you forget it.
Who said he wasn't?

And does that apply the other way as well? If Obama is responsible for the underwear bomber is Bush responsible for the shoe bomber? If Clinton and Obama are responsible for embassies attacked under their watch is Bush responsible for embassies attacked under his watch? If Bush gets credit for getting Saddam does Obama get credit for getting bin Laden?

Haven't you been following the news?

Obama isn't responsible for anything.

Obama has been in office for four years and had lots of warnings about the older brother, but they dropped the ball.
Clinton was hunting for bin Laden and he warned Bush about him. Bush called off the hunt because he, and a lot of other Republicans, thought that they were so big and bad that the terrorists would never dare attack while they were in charge

He knew they were thinking of using planes. That was actually in the title of one of the reports. It may have helped if they had had the airplanes close and lock the cockpit doors. Before 9/11 it wasn't at all unusual for the cockpit doors to be not only unlocked but even open

My 8 year old niece said the same thing.

Good for the goose, good for the gander. Certainly we are now learning that there were red flags regarding Tamerlan Tsarnaev that were available to the Obama admin. But were ignored.

I wouldn't blame either. They doubtless get a mountain of tips and warnings that they have to sift through. But good for the goose, good for the gander.
Obama didn't ignore them. He, or the CIA or whoever, looked into it and didn't find anything
