I think it was a mixed bag, but in the end I do not think he is trusted. In addition he does not do a good job of coming off sincere. You could also make a point that he spent to long on the discrimination of muslims though he was right to address it.

Let's put it this way. Over 14 years ago, shortly after 9/11 I was in a Masters Course on a night President Bush was scheduled to speak to the country. I approached my professor and asked him if we could break out of class to watch the address. Our class join several others in the common area to watch the address. Everyone was glued to the TV, listening to every word by the President. Regardless of political affiliations, the people looked to the President then for his strategy, his assurances, and his leadership.

Now fast forward to last night...

Last night, few people cared, I didn't watch it, and still, I was able to list most of the predictable points in his speech. Not all Muslims are bad (we get it... Few are saying that), more calls for gun control (which would have accomplished nothing for this incident), and we don't need to jump into another war against insurgency (Quit telling the enemy what you're not willing to do!). Bottom line, President Obama has allowed this threat to increase and is doing very little to address it. He has mischaracterized them since the beginning despite having all the intel to say otherwise. Instead he is inserting political rhetoric while ignoring several worthy solutions. What's worse, is he will not modify his approach in any manner. He listens to no one who does not agree with this approach and in turn has no clear cut strategy to offer the our LEOs, DHS, or our Military Commanders (much less the American people).

Jan 2017 cannot get here soon enough. This is by far the worst President in my lifetime.

You want BRUTAL honesty? I will give you some. There are ONLY 2 times this President has spoken truth, it was when he was running in his first election. 1. It is time for America to fundamentally change. 2. We need to stop burdening our military with matters of the homeland we need a homeland security force that will equal or rival with our military. WHY? Because the Constitution forbids using active duty forces against Americans. So now you have a Domestic force with BILLIONS of rounds of ammo, enough to fight Iraq for 15yrs or shoot every American 12 times. Look it up, that is BRUTAL Honesty.
