Obama will tell America 'do not give in to fear': Third Oval Office address will focus on terror
The Daily Mail ^ | December 6, 2015 | By CHRISTOPHER BRENNAN and CHRIS PLEASANCE

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.

In only the third Oval Office address of his two terms as Commander in Chief, Obama will also pledge to use 'every single aspect of American power' to combat terrorism.

The symbolic use of the Oval Office is likely an attempt by Obama to set a tone of political gravitas equal to the moment after repeated accusations that he underestimated the threat from ISIS.

However, Attorney General Loretta Lynch cautioned this morning that the President may also ask Congress to take on the issue of gun control as a national security priority.

Generalities and tough rhetoric. And common sense gun control.

No true conservative will believe this BS. Of course, Mccain will believe it.

Of course this is redolent of FDR's famous speach: the only thing we have to fear is fear itself

But, whatever we may think of FDR, he was better than that kind of pandering. His speach went on:

the only thing we have to fear is fear itself —nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. In every dark hour of our national life a leadership of frankness and vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves which is essential to victory. I am convinced that you will again give that support to leadership in these critical days

That is not a bad message for the present situation. But it requires a leadership of frankness (honesty) and vigor and that we see nowhere.

It is not irrational to fear evil.

Islam has been at war with everyone else since 622 A.D.

Wakeup and smell the jihad

Te first time he says, "that's not who we are," I change the channel. No president, even if he is not an arrogant idiot has the power to define who we are. Our Constitution does that, thankyouverymuch!

Same thing if he says, "It's the right thing to do."
The last time he faced the right thing to do, was when he cheated at golf. Speak for yourself, you permanent imbecile!

The only certain right thing for Americans to do is to impeach yo ass!
