Climate change remains the biggest threat to our country, yet President Obama returned from climate talks in Paris just in time for last night’s White House Holiday Reception, followed by a meeting with his national security team this morning on Wednesday’s San Bernardino shooting.
As Twitchy reported, the president has recorded his weekly address, focusing on gun control and in particular calling on Congress to close the “no-fly” loophole, barring people on the nation’s mysterious no-fly list from purchasing firearms.
The White House said Thursday that tightening the 'no-fly' loophole would have done nothing to stop #SanBernardino. https://t.co/71CGC2giq5

But in his weekly address, the President uses this particular loophole to call on Congress to tighten gun control. https://t.co/8owHVVvSuo

President Obama, however, did utter the words “act of terror” in his address, showing he might be heading in the right direction. This morning’s meeting with his security team might be proof that he is slowly catching on to what actually happened in San Bernardino.

@alex_mallin It's 11:46. Late start due to Obama's hangover from Christmas party the night before.

@alex_mallin It took quite a while for everyone to introduce himself to the boss – and for him to find the conference room.

@alex_mallin No wonder Josh Earnest never knows anything. He's not even present at these meetings. Plausible deniability?

@alex_mallin @GoodwinHH6 well there's the problem right there -none of these people have had a clue about a damned thing

@papertiguer I can imagine it went like this: "How do we downplay this whole Muslim/ISIS terrorism bit? Hurry up. I'm late for golf."
