Obama faces pressure as critics urge stronger response to terrorism
Obama appears to chase the national mood after back to back attacks. Republicans fault his calm tone and allies say his strategy against ISIS shows slow progress. Analysts cite his reluctance to speak in anger as a key weakness in guiding public fear and policy.

Obama Flags Terror Threat After Attacks With Call for Action
In a prime time Oval Office address President Obama said the attackers acted with radicalization but not direct overseas direction. He urged private sector cooperation, new military authorizations, and gun controls while stressing Muslims should not be targeted. Critics doubt any strategy shift. He ordered DHS and State to review the fiancée visa program used by the California shooter. The speech followed Senate gun control rejection and continued opposition to a ground war. Hillary Clinton, ahead in the Democratic race, said the U.S. is not winning.
