a horrific massacre &mdash; of dozens of innocent people.&nbsp; We pray for their families, who are grasping for answers with broken hearts.&nbsp; We stand with the people of Orlando, who have endured a terrible attack on their city.&nbsp; Although it&rsquo;s still early in the investigation, we know enough to say that this was an act of terror and an act of hate.&nbsp; And as Americans, we are united in grief, in outrage, and in resolve to defend our people.<\/p>\n<p>I just finished a meeting with FBI Director Comey and my homeland security and national security advisors.&nbsp; The FBI is on the scene and leading the investigation, in partnership with local law enforcement.&nbsp; I&rsquo;ve directed that the full resources of the federal government be made available for this investigation.<\/p>\n<p>We are still learning all the facts.&nbsp; This is an open investigation.&nbsp; We&rsquo;ve reached no definitive judgment on the precise motivations of the killer.&nbsp; The FBI is appropriately investigating this as an act of terrorism.&nbsp; And I&rsquo;ve directed that we must spare no effort to determine what &mdash; if any &mdash; inspiration or association this killer may have had with terrorist groups.&nbsp; What is clear is that he was a person filled with hatred.&nbsp; Over the coming days, we&rsquo;ll uncover why and how this happened, and we will go wherever the facts lead us.<\/p>\n<p>This morning I spoke with my good friend, Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer, and I conveyed the condolences of the entire American people.&nbsp; This could have been any one of our communities.&nbsp; So I told Mayor Dyer that whatever help he and the people of Orlando need &mdash; they are going to get it.&nbsp; As a country, we will be there for the people of Orlando today, <span data-term=\"goog_264231276\">tomorrow<\/span> and for all the days to come.<\/p>\n<p>We also express our profound gratitude to all the police and first responders who rushed into harm&rsquo;s way.&nbsp; Their courage and professionalism saved lives, and kept the carnage from being even worse.&nbsp; It&rsquo;s the kind of sacrifice that our law enforcement professionals make every single day for all of us, and we can never thank them enough.<\/p>\n<p>This is an especially heartbreaking day for all our friends &mdash; our fellow Americans &mdash; who are <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">lesbian<\/a>, <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a>, <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">bisexual<\/a> or transgender.&nbsp;

The place where they were attacked is more than a nightclub &mdash; it is a place of solidarity and empowerment where people have come together to raise awareness, to speak their minds, and to advocate for their civil rights.<\/p>\n<p>So this is a sobering reminder that attacks on any American &mdash; regardless of race, ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation &mdash; is an attack on all of us and on the fundamental values of equality and dignity that define us as a country.&nbsp; And no act of hate or terror will ever change who we are or the values that make us Americans.<\/p>\n<p>Today marks the most deadly shooting in American history.&nbsp; The shooter was apparently armed with a handgun and a powerful assault rifle.&nbsp; This massacre is therefore a further reminder of how easy it is for someone to get their hands on a weapon that lets them shoot people in a school, or in a house of worship, or a movie theater, or in a nightclub.&nbsp; And we have to decide if that&rsquo;s the kind of country we want to be.&nbsp; And to actively do nothing is a decision as well.<\/p>\n<p>In the coming hours and days, we&rsquo;ll learn about the victims of this tragedy.&nbsp; Their names.&nbsp; Their faces.&nbsp; Who they were.&nbsp; The joy that they brought to families and to friends, and the difference that they made in this world.&nbsp; Say a prayer for them and say a prayer for their families &mdash; that God give them the strength to bear the unbearable.&nbsp; And that He give us all the strength to be there for them, and the strength and courage to change.&nbsp; We need to demonstrate that we are defined more &mdash; as a country &mdash; by the way they lived their lives than by the hate of the <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">man<\/a> who took them from us.<\/p>\n<p>As we go together, we will draw inspiration from heroic and selfless acts &mdash; friends who helped friends, took care of each other and saved lives.&nbsp; In the face of hate and violence, we will love one another.&nbsp; We will not give in to fear or turn against each other.&nbsp; Instead, we will stand united, as Americans, to protect our people, and defend our nation, and to take action against those who threaten us.<\/p>\n<p>May God bless the Americans we lost this morning.&nbsp; May He comfort their families.&nbsp; May God continue to watch over this country that we love.&nbsp; Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.towleroad.com\/2016\/06\/obama-orlando-2\/\">President Obama on Orlando Gay Nightclub Attack: &lsquo;This Was an Attack of Terror&hellip;and Hate&rsquo;
