Here is a transcript of the President's comments:
"It's still an active situation. FBI is on the ground offering assistance to local officials as they need it. It does appear that there are going to be some casualties. And, obviously our hearts go out to the victims and the families. The one thing we do know is that we have a pattern now of mass shootings in this country that has no parallel anywhere else in the world. And there are some steps we could take not to eliminate every one of these mass shootings, but to improve the odds that they don't happen as frequently: common-sense gun safety laws, stronger background checks.
And for those who are concerned about terrorism, some may be aware of the fact that we have a no-fly list where people can't get on planes, but those same people who we don't allow to fly could go into a store right now in the United States and buy a firearm and there's nothing that we can do to stop them. That's a law that needs to be changed.

I don't believe that statement is true.
Where's the NRA when you need them?
But when it comes to Obama, it is much like a bent-over Chip said in Animal House: "Thank you, sir! May I have another?"
“It was just eight days ago that President Barack Obama reassured the nation that there was no imminent threat of terror attacks from ISIS.”
More gun control yadda yadda yadda.
Great question!
It’s really important that they don’t find the other terrorists that were there because if there’s more than two it’s clearly a coordinated attack which means it’s definitely Islamic terrorist organization in the United States
they would not tell us even if they found the other guys at this point
