Obama's speech Sunday evening:

AP "President Barack Obama will use his Sunday night address on terrorism to urge the American people not to "give in to fear" after the California shootings, and may ask Congress to take action to further safeguard national security, Attorney General Loretta Lynch said.

"Lynch also said that "dealing with guns is one way to handle the violence crime issues that we have in this country.' "
. . . 
"The shootings, he added, presented "another tragic reminder that here in America it's way too easy for dangerous people to get their hands on a gun."
"Authorities say they believe the guns used in San Bernardino were legally obtained.

From the White House via Infowars:
Tomorrow at 8pm ET, President Obama will address the nation from the Oval Office about the steps our government is taking to fulfill his highest priority: keeping the American people safe. The President will provide an update on the ongoing investigation into the tragic attack in San Bernardino. The President will also discuss the broader threat of terrorism, including the nature of the threat, how it has evolved, and how we will defeat it. 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.
"CBS News, however, contradicts this by stating the address will deal with gun control." 
. . . And here’s the truth: In California, they already have liberals’ wish list of gun control laws. Background checks, registration, waiting periods, gun bans, you name it. It ain’t working." . . .
What can Obama say, besides a lot of "me"s, "mine"s, and "I"'s? Hmmm. "Follow them to the gates of hell" went nowhere; "ultimately destroy" was a non-starter and the world knew it; well- the enemy knew it anyway. Of course, Code Pink-types must have known it or they would have been out protesting in force. TD

Obama to address Americans from the Oval Office tonight   "I have to assume that Valerie Jarrett has become alarmed at the public reaction the his feckless response to the San Bernardino shootings, attempting to deny terrorism on the part of a couple one of whom posted her allegiance to ISIS.
"So what will he say? Predictions are always risky, of course, so let me outline some of the alternatives he could choose from and assess their probability."

. . . If the President is ready to “keep America safe” on the home front, the other possibility is that he’ll use the San Bernardino attacks as an excuse to make it harder for them to get guns. If you doubt that he’s got something like that in mind, the Daily Caller reported last week that Team Obama has been working on just such a plan already." . . . (Emphasis in the original)


Obama Tells Us We’ve “NEVER BEEN SAFER” From ISIS.   "Obama made the remarks in an interview taped Wednesday, shortly after a mass shooting in San Bernardino, Calif., that killed at least 14 people."
