America’s angry, right-wing cranks were quick to respond to President Barack Obama’s Sunday night speech about national security in the wake of last week’s terrorist attack in San Bernardino, California.
The president’s calm, measured appeal to Americans’ higher values was roundly rejected by conservatives, who took to social media to voice their disgust.

I don't need a president who is on the wrong side of everything telling me I'm on the wrong side of history. #ObamaSpeech

That #ObamaSpeech was absolutely pathetic. Nothing new, just recycled Obama talking points.

Why is Obama constantly demanding that everyone accept Islam but never demands that they accept other religions/ways of life?! #ObamaSpeech

Republican presidential candidate and former reality TV star Donald Trump announced that he would live-tweeting the president’s speech, but was barely able to fire off a handful of responses before the speech was over.
"@JFK4701: @realDonaldTrump he is reading off the TelePrompTer." But that is O.K. in this case.

Wish Obama would say ISIS, like almost everyone else, rather than ISIL.

Is that all there is? We need a new President – FAST!

Others were just angry that the president “defends Moslems.”
He still defends Moslems! Remember it's OK for Moslems to lie to further their agenda. #ObamaSpeech pic.twitter.com/UpWiRa0ycP
