Obama to deliver rare Oval Office address Sunday on terrorism

President Obama will discuss the San Bernardino, Calif., shootings and the broader threat of terrorism on Sunday night in a rare prime time address from the Oval Office.

The address at 8 p.m. will hit on the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria and how the terror threat has "evolved, and how we will defeat it," according to the White House.

"He will reiterate his firm conviction that ISIL will be destroyed and that the United States must draw upon our values - our unwavering commitment to justice, equality and freedom - to prevail over terrorist groups that use violence to advance a destructive ideology," the White House said in a statement. The speech will come less than a week after 14 people were killed and dozens injured during a shooting in San Bernardino, which is now being investigated as an act of terrorism. It is also less than a month after the terrorist attacks in Paris, for which ISIS claimed responsibility.

Obama called the California shootings an act of terrorism earlier in the day and said it is possible the two shooters were radicalized. But during a briefing with national security aides, Obama was told there were no links yet uncovered to a broader terrorist cell.

The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria has increasingly encouraged lone wolf attacks. Authorities said the female suspect in the shooting pledged her allegiance to the terror group in a Facebook post.

I can’t wait for this! A week ago he really believed that climate change was causing all this violence. What will he do? Close all the power plants? Swear us all in as muslims? Take all of our guns? Paint the world in rainbow colors?
Oh the suspense is killing me!

President Obama gave us a sneak peak of his upcoming agenda for 2016, his last year in the Oval Office, during an interview with GQ Magazine. His top concern? ...gun control of course.

“My attorney general assures me that I have the executive power to temporarily freeze the sale of guns and ammunition until we can prevent them from getting into the hands of terror groups or others that are deemed harmful to the republic. Effective immediately......”

This is nothing more than damage control. I'm guessing that a lot of people in the upper reaches of the U.S. government are alarmed at how badly the useless Federal government has been exposed here.

Barack Obama made a public statement just before Thanksgiving in which he told Americans that we should discuss gun violence and gun control over Thanksgiving dinner. Americans responded by purchasing 875,000 guns on Black Friday alone. They know exactly what this jug-eared moron in the White House is all about.

I would love to see this guy go one Executive Order too far, and be impeached for it.

Im going to be busy. I have something more important to do. Don’t know yet but I will think of something.

No doubt his solution will be to punish law abiding Americans for what the killers did. Yes more gun control will solve all of our problems.

At least he doesn’t have to fly to France to trash America. This time he can do it from home.
