Discussion: WATCH LIVE: Obama To Address Orlando Shooting Tues At 11:55 AM ET

I look forward to this wise man’s words. Here hoping he addresses the homophobia virus that no pol seems willing to touch.

What happened in Orlando was horrific enough. Cheering on the actions of the deeply troubled man is, in some ways, even worse. Rejoicing at their deaths is incomprehensible. I’m looked at you Texas Lt. Governor and countless others around America.

I look forward him to subtly or not so subtly ripping Drumpf a new one while, with measured tones, calming people’s fears and providing a rational and less hateful path forward.

And following that, a tweet from Trump accusing Obama of palling around with terrorists.

It doesn’t sound like that actually went over so well with most of America. Nor did his attacks on Curiel and his other vicious pronouncements.

What you see is what you get. For people who were looking at him as a possible POTUS, it’s been a learning experience that will not be to his benefit.

Finally, in sharp contrast to the imbecilic and childish Trump Twitter tantrums, we will have an adult comment on the tragedy.

Of course, it will be followed by a very predictable fullthroated Rightie Wingnut and Con Republican and Bagger freakout: He’s coming for ar’ gunz’!! / He’s a tyrant!!! / He’s supports terrists’!! He’s a Moooslum’ and hates us Christians…garble…garble…garble…

Looking for a good GOTV message here, like ā€œthis is YOUR garbage congress. throw these assholes outā€ (reading between the lines)

Good grief. When I read the comment about Russian hackers stealing DNC info on Trump, I thought it was a joke.

What difference does it make anyway? Not like Trump would use the info wisely, what there was of it.

Not donor info, supposedly.

Best speech in years. Hands down.

Maybe the best of his presidency!

What eejit at DNC or campaign scheduled Hillary at the same time?
I’ve got two ears but only one brain.

This man diminishes Trump to filthy ashes just by the force of his principles and his honor.

Gawwwwd’! I loved, loved…loved the backhand to Trump’s howler monkey shriek: ā€œHe won’t say ā€˜Radical Islamic Terrorismā€™ā€¦ā€

Go Mr. President. I cannot wait for an unleashed President Obama to begin a daily assault on Trump and the GOP/RNC vacuous and screaming banshees as he pushes to protect his legacy and support Sec. Clinton in her bid for the presidency.

He was angry and it showed. Seriously, one of the best speeches of his presidency and it needs to be replayed over and over again.

Anbody see this yet?

ā€œAsian, Iranian and Arab media reported Tuesday morning that Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi died on Sunday after his hideout was bombed by the U.S. led-coalition.ā€

First I’ve read about it.

There was mention of that the other day, but it had yet to be confirmed at the time.
