On the President's speech -- expectations v delivery

The President will speak tonight.  Donald Trump hopes he'll discuss the "real problem" but I doubt Obama will resign.
What I expect:
1. a lot a platitudes but no action in the Middle East
2. an out and out attack on Republicans on Gun Control and "Gun Violence"
3. A unilateral set of restriction on the ownership of guns backed only by his pen and administrative clout.
4. Perhaps an announcement that he will veto the omnibus package passed by Congress just Yesterday.
We'll see how many of my "predictions" come to pass.

------------------
On another topic. The Swedish Prime minister really is out of line.  She is now angry at Israel because not enough Israeli's die when attacked by Palestinians with knives.  Why does she believe any country or person should take into account the welfare of an attacker while they are trying to murder them?  Its both puzzling and ridiculous.

-------------------
1. Completely correct. Nothing but blah
2. Not quite, asked rather meekly for using the terribly flawed no fly list to prevent people buying guns. Would have done nothing to stop San Bernardino.
3. Thank God no. 
4. Also not, but I expect this to be a fight he will take up in the near future.
