Schoolyard bullies love to call names like 'mama's boy' or 'tiny hands'. You want to hurt people's feelings by calling them names. Do you really think it will hurt ISIS's feelings to call them Radical Islamic Terrorists? Unlike SOME people, they're not fifth-graders and they don't give a shit about name calling.

He fell for the ISIS angle hook line and sinker. Wonder what he's going to say now that's it looking more to be an anti gay hate crime committed by a lone wolf who happened to be Muslim.

It's also come out that he wanted to shoot up his 5th grade class. He also supported Hezbollah who are mortal enemies of ISIS. In all likelihood he probably said he was an ISIS member so his family wouldn't find out he was gay. Plus if he was such a devout Muslim how come he didn't know what Shia and Sunni are.

Why didnt he shoot up a school, or Universal Boardwalk or the thousands of other soft targets in Orlando? He targeted people who are universally hated by Muslims, especially ISIS.

As far as knowing the difference of knowing the difference between sunni and shia. I would say that most of ISIS foot soldiers dont know either, they specifically recruit from the low IQ, the disenfranchised so they can mold them themselves.

He sounded like what he is: presidential. Unlike the yapping Chihuahua with bad hair on the Republican side.

I'm glad that he went after Trump. The man is dangerous. His whole campaign is about dividing us even further as a nation. Even Reagan's son, Michael, said that his father would have disapproved of Trump. He's a divisive figure who caters to the lowest common denominator.

Kudos to president Obama for a measured and well reasoned speech.

I hope he has a big old punching bag somewhere in the White House gym where he can let loose with some upper cuts, crosses or roundhouse kicks. He must need it. I would paint some faces on it - McConnell, Trump, the Fox eejits, and lots more.
