HE SPEAKS – AT 10:18 A.M. ET:  President Obama addresses the nation from the Oval Office tonight on the subject of terrorism.  Aren't you excited?  Don't you have your recorder already set?  Aren't you telling members of your family, "Now we'll get the truth"?

No, I didn't think so.

As Clarice Feldman said at American Thinker, "We are led instead by a cowardly, ill-informed, blockhead who has done everything in his power to destroy national unity and power..."

I'm not expecting much tonight.  We've had seven years to figure out that our original concerns about this president were correct, even understated.  He is a leftist, not a liberal.  He doesn't much like his country.  He spent an inordinate amount of time with others who don't much like this country.  At each stage in his "career," odd things seemed to happen that propelled him forward, without much impetus from him.  He refused to release records that presidential candidates routinely release, like his academic records.  He was protected and advanced by a mainstream media that refused to examine him in any detail.  It got so bad that "Saturday Night Live" did a parody of the press, in 2008, sucking up to Obama.  His first "foreign-policy" act as president was to insult Britain, our closest ally, by sending back to London a bust of Winston Churchill that had rested in the Oval Office.

Tonight we will listen to this president tell us how he intends to fight terrorism, a subject in which he seems to have little interest.  I have no expectations of truth or wisdom.  I do have expectations of deceit and an attempt to blame the National Rifle Association for our woes. 

He has 13 months to go in office.  His attorney-general, Loretta Lynch, warned Americans last week that rhetoric that may approach calls to violence against Muslims will be prosecuted. (Who decides how to define that?)   This is the same attorney general who recently watched marchers charge down streets in American cities chanting about the police, "Pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon!"  Where were the prosecutions?

Fortunately, many Americans are waking up.  They know there will be more horrors like San Bernardino.  They have no reason to have any confidence in the national leaders who will respond to those horrors.
