ORLANDO — President Obama said the gunman who opened fire in a nightclub here on Sunday appeared to be motivated by extremist propaganda online, saying that authorities have not found any links connecting this attacker with other radical groups.
Obama called the shooting a case of “homegrown extremism” on Monday, saying that the gunman appeared to be “inspired by various extremist information that was disseminated over the Internet.” The gunman who carried out the deadliest shooting rampage in American history called 911 during a three-hour standoff with police and pledged his allegiance to the Islamic State, a group also known as ISIS or ISIL, authorities have said.
“We see no clear evidence that he was directed externally,” Obama said during remarks in the Oval Office. “It does appear that at the last minute, he announced allegiance to ISIL. But there is no evidence so far that he was in fact directed by ISIL, and at this stage there’s no direct evidence that he was part of a larger plot.”

And Benghazi was caused by a video too.
Orlando: “information disseminated over the internet”
Benghazi: “an online video”
Same old, same old garbage.
So we only need to naturalize those that hate us, and any attacks from them instantly become “home grown.”
1. ISIS has allowed to fester and grow
2. That other countries including Russian, France, Jordan, etc. stepped up militarily and did what the US would not do.
3. They have been numerous attacks on American soil
4. That there will be more attacks on American soil.
obama, clinton, kerry, etc. WILL NOT, for obvious reasons, say the causes and sources of this terrorism.
His lips are moving, he’s lying....
Exactly. He had visited Saudi Arabia.
This was not just some home-grown wannabe.
Conservatism will be the target of enforcement action.
That’s 0bama’s point. I get it.
After 8 years of nothing but lies from this POS; why does he think anyone but his cult-like true believers will believe a word he says. The gall is thick in this one padawan.
You can be damn sure that if Dylan Roof had talked about being a Christian despite a lifetime of being non-religious, Obama wouldn't be calling it a "last minute" announcement.
Mr. Resident, keep your lies to yourself. No one is interested in your bullshit.
hussein has used various names during his lifetime. Did he ever go by the name....BAGHDAD BOB?
Whoa. FIB Director Comey is saying the same thing. And this is the guy we are expecting to throw the book at. Hillary?
Usually, but not always, you can invert or take the negative of what Obama says and get the truth.
Will be very interesting to see how the LGBT community reacts to this
Well then, if he announced this "at the last minute" then we really can't trust it. We really need to have terrorists announce these affiliations at least a week prior to their terrorist acts. Also, he may have been directed by ISIS, but unless we have the signed paperwork or order for this attack then it's not really an ISIL attack.
Those damned Amish have been clogging the Internet with their hatred and threats of violence again!
Yeah, and the raid on Behghazi was the result of a anti-Muslim video. Obama has lied so much that one can not believe anything he says. It isn’t important that you lied to me, the important thing is I can never believe you again. Sorry, Barack.
“authorities have not found any links connecting this attacker with other radical groups. “
The guy calls 911 and pledges allegiance to ISIS and you try to feed us this bullsh*t.
Charlotte, NC Media breathlessly read this press release over the air a few minutes ago.
The Media are just as stupid, just as corrupt, just as willfully ignorant as Barack Obama.
