    Note that he's going to a cocktail party immediately afterwards. Way to convey seriousness on the issue, dufus

    All-time record for back ground checks on weapons -- time to calm the natives.

    I haven't heard anything new in this speech. The strategy is simply to regurgitate more of the same?

    Calling out muslim leaders to reject and make their opinions known on radical views -- impressive.

    He's got work to do

    Very good speech and laid out the plan. Shows so much passion, charisma, knowledge and strategy to conquer this

    Welcome relief from listening to the empty, no knowledge dumb speeches of republican idiots like Trump and Rubio and Carson

    So to recap.

    1. Same old strategy with no changes
    2. Lecture the country that we need more gun control
    3. Lecture the country not to hate Muslims

    Pathetic.

    He finally said "Islam". Baby steps, but okay.

    Funny that he said "freedom is more powerful than fear" yet he's calling for citizens to give up freedoms in order to calm their fears when it comes to gun control.

    If freedom is more powerful than fear why is Obama asking us to renounce the United States and move to China?

    Genuine question!

    Are we calling ISIS, ISEL now? I kept hearing Obama saying ISEL.

    There's lots of names for it, ISIS, ISIL, Daesh. ISIS sounds the best, they hate being called Daesh the most, ISIL is giving them more credit than they deserve. ISIL stands for Islamic state of Iraq and the Levant....they don't quite have control over all of the Levant since that would be pretty much all of the Eastern "Middle East", but any of the terms work.

    threads like these make me more and more aligned with the notion that politics is about the powerful who lie and cheat, and the small who mew uselessly about it (I would put myself and most everyone here in the latter category).
