Poor President Obama. In his Sunday night
speech to the nation, he made a mistake that confused anyone who had been watching the news closely. As Obama outlined the steps necessary to avoid tragedies like the San Bernardino killings, he indicated that he had ordered a review of the "visa waiver" program under which the female shooter arrived in this country.
