President Barack Obama makes a statement on Wednesday’s mass shooting in San Bernandino, Calif., Thursday, Dec. 3, 2015, in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington. But by Friday afternoon he and his staff knew he would have to speak up.
Roughly a week later, the California shooting occurred. “The president has the right goal, he just doesn’t have the right strategy”, Graham added.
In a rare address from the Oval Office (something he hasn’t done in five years) on December 6, President Obama spoke definitively about terrorism, and the plan of action after the massacre in San Bernardino carried out by two ISIL supporters. “We will continue to provide training and equipment to tens of thousands of Iraqi and Syrian forces fighting ISIL on the ground so that we take away their safe havens”.
“Terrorist organizations overseas have targeted your communities”. Even though there was no evidence that the shooters were directed by Daesh, “the two of them had gone down the dark path of radicalization”, Obama acknowledged.
“We also need to make it harder for people to buy powerful assault weapons like the ones that were used in San Bernardino”, Obama said.

She said the president would talk about steps taken since September 11 and the recent Paris attacks to safeguard US interests and Americans, and urge them to “not give in to fear at this time”. That, too, is what groups like ISIL want. “Instead we will prevail by being strong and smart, resilient and relentless, and by drawing upon every aspect of American power”.
Republican critics wasted no time reacting to the address.
Obama did not announce any new policies or strategies, and he continues to oppose any large-scale ground troop presence in Syria or Iraq, where the ISIL has its stronghold.
As many as 81 percent of Americans also say they believe terrorists associated with ISIS who had the resources to launch a major terrorist attack were now in the U.S. In May, 76 percent thought so, and 71 percent in September 2014. And he cautioned Americans not to let themselves be divided along religious lines.
