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.
It's all about love, donchaknow...
I bet it’s about gun control.
blah, blah, blah gun show loophole
blah, blah, blah universal background checks
blah, blah, blah religion of peace
No need to listen. I just summed it all up ahead of time.
WWL 870 am radio will do.
I must hear the Saints lose to the Panthers.
Should be shweeet!
If Obama talkin’, Chris ain’t listening!
Jaz, I like ya. You've been around, and you've been through 7 years of OTrauma.
That said, you should know better.
Obama never reverses course. Obama only doubles down.
I expect this address to be the one in which he declares that the Intergalactic Trans-Dimensional Hypersonic Background Check is suddenly law, effective immediately, and pertains to all firearms sales, private ones included.... and all firearms currently in possession must also be registered and Intergalactically Trans-Dimensional Hypersonic Background Checked.
Last night on the radio news (FOX), he STILL wants to get rid of Assad. He just can’t give it up.
Good to know about WWL!
you forgot “blah blah blah Christians need to look at themselves”
I think I’ll watch the Saints game.
You can do both. The Saints game starts at 4:30 and the President doesn’t begin talking until 8 o’clock. Those wanting to watch the Steelers and Colts are screwed though. The will miss some of the game on NBC. True that game doesn’t start until 8:30 but by the time the President speaks....he is scheduled for 45 minutes....he’ll speak an hour.....he never does it on time and then NBC new anchors chat about it. Most fans will miss 1/2 of the game.
Will Obama declare his Islamic State(s)?
I have to admit that’s a real possibility but I’ll add, only in his dreams.

I believe he might just try that by preventing completion of Federal background checks for some indeterminate amount of time.
Damn it......I am washing my hair at that time. If only they gave me ample notice to change my schedule. Oh well their loss.......lol.
Get several packages of NERF balls ! They save T.V.s and other such things. :-)
Oh they will probably be sounders buzzers for him to quit rambling on after about 10-15 seconds I’m guessing.
Dude has nothing to say, nothing to contribute to any conversation.
I’d rather listen to a speech from an old brick.
5.56mm
bla bla bla bla bal....
...therefore marshal law will be implemented at midnight tonight. My staff will be coordinating with national and local officials...
...again, ALL elections WILL BE suspended until further notice.
Goodnight and God bless Amerrrca.
As usual, I’ll be watching a rerun of literally anything else instead.
