Breaking: Obama Preparing Oval Office Address in Response to Islamic State
Breitbart.com ^ | 5 Dec 2015 | Charlie Spiering

President Obama will deliver a rare televised address to the nation from the Oval Office on Sunday, in response to the recent terrorist attacks in Paris and in San Bernardino, California.

This is the first sign that the Obama White House is preparing to address the threat of terrorism seriously after appearing reluctant to define the attack in California as terrorism.

Obama has only delivered two other televised Oval Office addresses during his presidency. In June 2010, he delivered a speech detailing the national response to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill in response to weeks of negative press coverage of his handling of the situation. In August 2010, he delivered an address to signal the end of U.S. combat operations in Iraq.

The White House press office announced that Obama will provide an “update” on what they described as the “tragic attack” in California during his speech, which he will deliver on Sunday at 8:00 P.M. EST.

On Saturday, Obama admitted in a radio address that “several pieces” of information “point to the perpetrators being radicalized to violence.”

I know what you mean. He's the only person I have ever felt true hate for. A totally repulsive and reprehensible creature.

No different than Bill and Hill

There’s got to be a Matlock rerun I’ve missed. I’ll try to find it so I can watch.

I wish, instead of working on a meaningless, platitude speech full of Bravo Sierra, he and his family would go to Church, get down on their knees and pray for our wonderful country that is under attack.

Trump needs to rent a big arena, fill it with people and counter the BS that spews from the anus of Obama’s head.

I haven't seen the last episode of The Walking Dead. That's what I'll be watching at that time.

I'm wondering if he's gonna announce some more gun grabbing effort. That will increase gun sales even more.

Erroneous headline. He won’t be preparing any address, he’ll just be delivering it.

In order to fight ISIL and the scourge of Islamophobia, we need to end the private ownership of firearms in the United States...

I really hope he says something like that. It's time to just come out and say what you really want.

This address is going to be in response to the FBI leaving the ranch. He will tone down the terrorist attack comments, probably reiterate that this attack was also related to workplace violence. He will reassure the public that the attackers were not a part of another cell. He will then encourage citizens to shop and go about their daily business.

(Because of his speech there will probably be another attack next week conducted by the same cell of the SB jihadis.)

I think that his primary focus will be to comfort and reassure the nation with his mere presence and he will remind us of who we are.
