Here is a link to a Guardian article with rolling updates. President Obama will address the nation



President Barack Obama has announced that he will make a speech from the White House at 1.30pm ET.

He will speak from the Brady Room, the same place he emotionally pleaded with Congress “we can’t wait” to act on gun violence earlier this year.

Vice-president Joe Biden has also released a statement through a spokesperson.



The Vice President was briefed this morning by his national security advisor on the heinous attack that took place overnight at a nightclub in Orlando, Florida. Vice President Biden offered his prayers for all those killed and injured in the shooting and sends his condolences to all the families and loved ones of the victims. He is closely monitoring the situation and will continue to receive regular updates as we know more.

Sure, you created Obamacare, but that was a short-term accomplishment.

Your monthly speeches about each MASS SHOOTING will be much more memorable.

TODAY WON'T BE YOUR LAST!! Thankfully your speech writers don't need to spend anymore time, plenty of copies to use from your prior speeches.

Thoughts & Prayers will make it all better though.
