"...defeat is 'within our reach" - Barrack Obozo just before the explosions.

(that's 3 explosions, not 2)

Looks like 7 people dead in the explosions. Taliban says the attacks were in response to the visit by our president who's loved and respected around the world. I guess that blood is on his hands now. Doesn't matter. Whatever it takes to get reelected.
