In Obama’s television statement he never mentioned Islamic terrorism but he did talk about guns and blamed access to guns. Hillary echoed his remarks in a written statement, also not mentioning Islam but condemning… guns. She also bemoaned “other violent criminals.”

In his apperance, Obama appeared perturbed and distracted, and read his remarks like a rushed robot. I guess his plans fo the day got rudely interrupted by 50 dead Americans. It was the same irritated attitude he exhibited in Paris after that massacre which interferred with his climate change conference.

In his remarks there, he didn’t even lead with comments about the terrorism in Paris, he started with climate change. Putting aside political differences, something is very wrong with this man.

Via Washington Examiner: “Obama uses Orlando attack to call for gun control.”

President Obama on Sunday used the tragic mass shooting in Orlando Sunday to call for gun control measures. “This massacre is a further reminder of how easy it is to get their hands on a weapon to shoot people in a school, or a house of worship, or a movie theater or a nightclub,” he said during remarks early Sunday afternoon at the White House. He said the U.S. has to decide if that is the country we want to be, and to “actively do nothing is a decision as well.” Obama declared the overnight shooting “an act of terror and an act of hate,” but did not characterize the attack as Islamist terrorism.
