obama's first comment on the Boston terror attack was puzzling, he didn't call it terrorism and said he would find out why they did it. God help us with a president like this at the helm.eace
He didn't use a buzzword and said we'd find out why someone or someones planted two bombs, God the nerve of that guy.
Honestly, why does he care why????

Because he's the President? Do you think he shouldn't care or that he doesn't care?
Honestly, why does he care why???? AND terrorism is not a buzz word and he fell all over himself to use the word in his next statement.
That is a non response. Why does he care why an act of terrorism happens? I will answer for you. His first instinct is to blame America that's why, he feels we must have done something to deserve this.
Conservatism is like the Dark Side of the Force. Is has to be nourished with continual anger or it sparks out. To that end, we're going to obsess over the specifics of Obama's vocabulary and spin every other word into the greatest outrage that has ever been and could ever be committed by a president.
Wasn't it obama himself that once said, "words have meanings". Not calling it terrorism from the get go was very telling of who this guy is and then wondering aloud why they did it is frosting on the rancid cake.
Well, then tell us, why did they do it, and who did it?
It was Rush. Dittos
President Obama," Words have meaning; actions have consequences"
You have to start with the target(s). The targets were civilians, first responders and LEOs at a public event. In general terms, people that target civilians and non specific government employees are usually making a political statement. If the political statement was domestic in nature, the target would be specific (i.e. OKC Federal Building, Pentagon, Representative, Senator, etc). Since the target wasn't specific, we can presume that the group is likely international in nature whose goal is likely to be target "America".
In support, we look at other international terror attacks:
In 2010, a loan actor, trained in Pakistan, attempted to plant a car bomb in NYC Times Square. His goal was "to kill Americans."

In 2007, four terrorists used suicide bombs to target UK civilians on public transportation.

The common thread is that they don't target anything more specific than the general population. They also used a bomb style that is specifically promoted by Al Qaeda. If you compare Boston to NYC and UK bombings, they used bombs previously used by Al Qaeda, they target civilians and they attempted to kill as many people as possible. Granted, it is only speculation, but it is reasonable to believe this will be an attack that is attributed to Al Qaeda or an affiliate.

You wrote all of that and answered neither of my questions: Who did it, and why?
A simple "I don't know" would have said the same thing and been much less effort for you.
No, the answer is terrorists and because they wanted to. Which terrorists is all that matters now.
Aha, simply saying "terrorists did it" doesn't answer my question, now does it?
No, the answer is terrorists and because they wanted to. Which terrorists is all that matters now.
Yes it does. In the context of this thread.
Terrorism is violence with a political purpose. Unless terrorism has become any type of violence directed toward civilians.
