    8:04 p.m. ET update: President Obama says "this was an act of terrorism designed to kill innocent people."
    President Obama will address the nation Sunday evening on the San Bernardino shootings in a rare speech from the Oval Office.
    The White House announced the speech as a new addition to the president's weekend schedule, with it scheduled for 8 p.m. ET Sunday.
    It will be Obama's third Oval Office speech as president, his first since announcing the end of U.S. combat operations in Iraq on Aug. 31, 2010.
    Obama met with his national security team to receive an update Saturday morning on the San Bernardino shooting, reaffirming the FBI had not yet found any indication the two shooters were part of any larger international terror networks or cells.
    President Barack Obama is poised to deliver a rare prime-time address from the Oval Office on Sunday to reassure anxious Americans that his administration will protect them from the threat posed by ISIS.
    The speech comes amid rising public concern about terrorism following last week's shooting in San Bernardino, California, in which a Muslim couple killed 14 people and wounded 21 before dying in a gun battle with police.
    His remarks also come as public distrust in his management of the U.S. anti-terrorism effort, which was once a strength that helped him re-election in 2012, is rising. Terrorism, national security and the place of Muslims in U.S. society have become a contentious 2016 campaign issue and are dominating the political conversation more than at any time since the September 11 attacks in 2001.

    He announced nothing new. We're not going after ISIS.

    On behalf of the U.S., I apologize to the Western world. You're going to have to win this one without us.

    Caesar built a bridge across the Rhine River in 7 days. I'll give Obama one month more to do something concrete about terrorism. If he doesn't that I will completely right him off as the worst president in the history of this country. Worse than bush even.

    Obama is the official apologist for radical Islam.

    Obama licks so much islamo-nazi ass, I wonder if he has to use makeup to hide those brown spots around his mouth and nose :roflol:

    Saw this from one of my Facebook buddies: Whenever Muslims attack Obama's first response is to defend Muslims.

    Nothing new.

    Obama still doesn't have a strategy for dealing with the "JV" team.

    Obama failed to mention that his White House has denied 80% of the bombing missions being carried out against the "JV" team aka ISIS.

    Obama as usual kept defending Islam while attacking guns.

    Obama seems to be misinformed just like President Clinton was, Al Qaeda declared war against the USA back in 1996 not on 9-11-01.
    See the declaration of war. -> http://www.pbs.org/newshour/updates/military-july-dec96-fatwa_1996/

    Obama didn't mention that it was his administration that issued "JV" team member Tashfeen Malik a K-1 visa and an Obama green card.

    Nothing new, Obama is still an incompetent President and a national security risk.

    Of course ignoring the fact that ISIS has been calling for Muslims everywhere to commit Jihad.

    Hypocrisy in progress.

    On one hand, asking congress to bomb and send troops to kill more Muslims

    On the other hand, asking Americans to tolerate and receive Muslims with good will.

    Everything Obama said tonight boiled down to more of the same, and repeating the liberal agenda. How is the US going to confront ISIS/ISIL: More of the same. This strategy is not working. The concept of using others to fight our wars, will never work. No one will not commit combat troops for the benefit of a country that refuses to commit their own. You can not fight the war on terror by proxy.

    As far as what we are going to do at home Obama repeated the liberal agenda. Block people that are on the No-Fly-List from buying guns. No matter how many times it is pointed out that the shooters were not on this list, and that thousands of law abiding citizens are mistakenly on this, proves that the policy is a mistake. Yet the President still pushed it in his speech. He called for greater scrutiny of people entering the US without visas, and a specific visa program. Do you think that he forgot that he threatened to veto a Congressional Bill to block refugees from Syria until the Federal Government certified they weren't terrorists?

    In the end, the President's address demonstrates that he will put his political agenda ahead of American safety every time.

    I'm more bothered by certain people's habit of blaming all Muslims for what a few extremists do. I can understand 0bama's desire to counter that, as it's dangerous to innocent American Muslims for other Americans to paint them all as terrorists. Neither he nor I wants to see them treated like Jews in Nazi Germany -- and yes, the Jews were similarly scapegoated and blamed en masse for Germany's problems at the time.

    Like blaming all American gun owners and the NRA for the misdeeds of a few, right?

    No one wants to attack or insult Muslims in the U.S. That's a straw man.

    What Americans want is for the U.S. to attack ISIS and destroy it. Obama has no desire to do that.

    “Muslim leaders here and around the globe have to continue working with us...“To speak out,” not kill “extremist ideology,” and “it is the responsibility of all Americans, of every faith, to reject discrimination,” against “those interpretations of Islam that are incompatible with the values of religious tolerance, mutual respect, and human dignity,” and “It is our responsibility to reject religious tests on who we admit into this country,” such as “those interpretations of Islam” so we take in those with a “perverted interpretation of Islam,” which we can’t call Jihadists, or radical Islam, but, see later how stupid this is, and “It’s our responsibility to reject proposals that Muslim-Americans should somehow be treated differently,” even if they have an “extremist ideology” and “hateful ideology,” of that “dark path of radicalization, embracing a perverted interpretation of Islam.”


    Bad_Muslim = []

    Good_Muslim = []

    Reject discrimination, and reject religious tests of Bad_Muslim and Good_Muslim.

    So if we put something in the arrays, what can we do with it?

    It wasn't more of the same. He didn't blame Republicans and he didn't blame global warming. Refreshingly, he didn't have his normal arrogant condescending snarkiness. Perhaps he saw his poll numbers and decided to act like an adult, as opposed to his normal reptilian self.
