The Latest on the shooting at an Orlando nightclub (all times local):
9:45 a.m.
President Barack Obama has been briefed by his homeland security and counterterrorism adviser about the shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando that left about 20 people dead and 42 wounded.
The White House said Sunday, several hours after the incident, that Obama has been briefed and has asked for regular updates as the FBI and other federal officials work with Orlando police on the case.
Press secretary Josh Earnest said in a statement that the president has directed federal officials to provide "any necessary assistance to pursue the investigation and support the community."

Gives BO a tough choice. I am wondering how he will side with the gays vs the Muzzies. Further, I am wondering why he was on top of this so quick. Couldn’t respond to save anyone in Benghazi. Trump looking better every day.
Where did they find him, in some DC bath house after fasting?
POS Obama: "Oh no. Anyone I know?"
USSS: "Unknown at this time, but many people are shot and wounded also. The gunman is dead".
Obama: "Damn guns fault".
.....and a ban on suicide vests.
9:45 AM?
Nobody to answer the phone at 3AM?
Fox reports the guy has made terror threats in the past, so he was on the RADAR that so many others were and left free until he actually killed a bunch of People. Reminds me of the commercials that show how stupid it is to "monitor" something if you aren't going to do anything about it....
FUBO !
It’s Ramadan, he was probably eating dinner after his fast.
Oh, yeah, I forgot. It the holy month of Bombadan. No golf for King Obongo today.
I thought they were already banned. Was there a “NO SUICIDE VESTS ALLOWED” sign on the entrance? It could be interesting to see what the “vest” turns out to be. Or if the “results” become uh, unavailable. Or they get the word that there was NO SUICIDE VEST. Just a tactical jacket with pouches for “clips”.
Who will be invited to the White House for the beers?
Obama won’t do the daily national security briefing,but he’ll have one about a gay bar shooting.
I’s all about priorities.
Was he on the golf course
The political world began to react to the shooting at the LBGT nightclub in the early Sunday morning hours.
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders called it “horrific” and “unthinkable” and said it underscores the need for gun control measures.
“Oh, it’s horrific, it’s unthinkable. And just hopes go out to all those who were shot that they can recover,” the Democratic presidential contender said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
“And I’ve got to tell you, 25 years ago, I believe that in this country, we should not be selling automatic weapons which are designed to kill people,” Sanders said. “We have got to do everything that we can on top of that to make sure that guns do not fall into the hands of people who should not have them, criminals, people who are mentally ill. So that struggles continues.”
Hillary Clinton, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, offered a tweet signed “-H” to indicate it was from her personally.
“Woke up to hear the devastating news from FL. As we wait for more information, my thoughts are with those affected by this horrific act,” Clinton wrote.
The count down to blaming TRUMP by the Kenyan Muslim ant the DNC - Hillary media
maybe by 5 pm today...?
Blaming Trump has to make the Monday morning talking points on all the Monday morning shows ...
The AP already has a DNC press release cooked up !
I wonder how many of Obama’s friends were in the night club?
Gays will be looking very closely at this.
If Obama covers it up, and Hillary goes along with it, more than a few will bolt for Trump. Maybe not the Tumblr freaks, but plenty of the ones that aren’t under 25.
Milo Yiannopoulos will definitely be at the forefront of bringing them Trump’s way.
Hillary is STILL waiting for an update.

Bull****. Her thoughts are about how to use this to get her lying corrupt ass back into the White House.
Terrorist!?!? What terrorist? Instead, in 3,2,1 Obama to come out with gun control speech.
