The body parts littering the roads of Boston beg to differ Mr. President.

Update: Because a terrorist attack on U.S. soil doesn’t exactly fit his narrative of a defeated al-Qaeda.

Update: The White House released this statement after Obama caused a shitstorm by not calling Boston an act of terrorism during his remarks.

(TPM) — Two explosions that struck the Boston marathon on Monday “appears” to amount to a terrorist attack, a White House official said.

“Any event with multiple explosive devices — as this appears to be — is clearly an act of terror, and will be approached as an act of terror,” the official said in a statement, according to Politico.

“We don’t yet know who carried out this attack, and a thorough investigation will have to determine whether it was planned and carried out by a terrorist group, foreign or domestic,” the official added.
