On Newbury Street, near the bombing scene, people stopped to hear President Obama speak
04/18/2013 2:30 PM
By Eric Moskowitz, Globe Staff
When the president came on, heads turned.
Most, if not all, of the crowd at Joe’s American Bar & Grill had gathered to watch the broadcast of the interfaith service held today at Boston’s Cathedral of the Holy Cross. And until that moment some nodded, some clasped hands, some hid red eyes behind sunglasses, but forks still clattered, ice rattled, and the sound on the TV over the bar competed with conversations and the construction noise coming from the wall of open windows facing Newbury Street.
And then it was the president’s turn.
Everyone, everything, seemed to stop.

President Obama Calls Boston Terrorists Small Stunted Individuals Who Can’t Stop Us
http://www.politicususa.com/president-obama-calls-boston-terrorists-small-stunted-individuals-stop.html
In Boston today, President Obama delivered an inspirational speech, and told the nation that the small stunted individuals who commit terrorism can’t stop us.
President Obama began by quoting scripture, and said Boston’s spirit remains undaunted. The president said, everyone of us has been touched by this attack on your beloved city. “We want to stand with you, because it is our beloved city too.” He called Boston one of the world’s iconic and great cities. The president said, “Boston’s your hometown, but we claim it a little bit too. I know this because there is a piece of Boston in me.” The president talked about his law school experience in the city, and the fact that the city welcomed him and Michelle during the 2004 Democratic convention. The president remembered each of the the three people who died in detail. He offered prayers and hope for the injured, and said, “I have no doubt. You will run again, because that’s what the people of Boston are made of. Your resolve is the greatest rebuke to the people who committed this act.”
Obama said that whoever did this picked the wrong city to do it, and added, “Not here in Boston. Not here in Boston.” The president said, “You’ve shown us Boston, that in the face of evil, we will lift up what’s good.” Obama praised the spirit of doctors, nurses, police, firefighters, and first responders.

Rev. Liz Walker: “God is here.”
A sad day and a sad duty. We are lucky to have such a stronger President.
Howdy, IdelaisticRebel. Yes, it’s another day to reflect on how we show love and compassion for each other.
So much is on his shoulders. May God continue to give him strength.
AMEN!
Beautiful cathedral, spectacular colors.
Our Comforter-in-Chief and FLOTUS; America’s blessed to have their compassion and caring.
