Did anyone else catch that he finally admitted that Ft. Hood was a terrorist attack?

Dali is correct about Obama just running out the clock.
Actually he thinks it was a clever way to deflect the conversation back to gun control and even blame Republicans for being weak on terrorism. 14 Americans are dead - and all he can think about is finding ways to exploit the tragedy for political advantage and using it to flail his political opponents.
Last night he also cynically asked Congress for a war resolution to go after ISIS in Syria - knowing full well the only reason they haven't given him one already is because he wants it to include so many restrictions and curtailments that our military will have no chance of success!
The guy is a snake. You can't take anything he says at face value. Everything he says or does is wrapped in cynical ulterior political motives.
