Obama had canceled what was to be his first campaign event with presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in the wake of the shooting at a gay nightclub that killed 49 and wounded dozens more. That event was scheduled for Wednesday.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest didn't provide any details about the visit, but said additional information would be forthcoming before the trip.

The role of consoler-in-chief is not a new one for Obama, who has traveled to Newtown, Connecticut, Charleston, and South Carolina among other places to meet with families who have lost loved ones to gun violence.

Cause that’s a President’s job. To show up and grieve for a photo op, after all the body bags have been carted away. /s

Since he's both gay and Muslim, won't that be awkward?

So gay victims of Islam are more deserving of his time than the San Bernardino victims of Islam?

I went to a Stand With Orlando rally last night. A tremendous crowd — 750 people, on such short notice -— especially for Johnson City, TN.

The MC told the crowd “Today, we’re all gay— today we’re all LGBT”: an identity of perversion, and I do not believe in that. The song chosen to warm up the crowd was “Imagine” (”Imagine there’s no country -— no possessions -— no religion —— no Heaven”): a creed of denials, and I do not believe in that, either.

I believe the Word of God will stand forever, and His Word is what I had on my sign: “Thou Shalt Not Kill.” And I got a lot of “Thanks-you’s” and huge hugs from mascara’ed boys gone silly and sloppy women gone butch. It all goes to show that, despite what divides us, it’s possible to share a degree of respect and understanding.

And you know what? I believe in that.

Why, yes, this one is a homophobic hate crime. Try and keep up.

That will be easy for baraq.

He will side with the gays and blame white male NRA members.

Easy Peazy since his media will gobble it up and repeat it.

So, the American who other than the shooter is most responsible for these deaths is going on a crocodile tears photo op. How brazen.

He’ll probably visit the Mosque in solidarity while he’s there.

San Bernadino was just a bunch of ordinary snow flakes. Orlando has extra special snow flakes.

Too bad the “Extra Special” has done gone completely out of being an American.
