Obama Press Conference: LIVE President Discusses Boston Marathon Bombing

Impact

President Obama’s briefing at the White House minutes ago on the tragic Boston Marathon bombing was exactly what it should have been: an appearance, confirmation of key facts, resolve to bring those responsible to justice, and the vital point not to cast blame on any group or individuals until we know more about the situation.

Overall, the emergency response management of the situation has been amazingly fast thanks to the Boston EMS, Police Department, and Federal officials working together. It is clear that the nation has learned from previous emergencies and has become much more fluid in its handling of such situations.
