Chris Matthews says Obama will address the nation in a separate speech about more gun control soon.
“There is going to be a special presidential address on gun control. It has not been scheduled yet, but there is going to be one in the near future. So he is not overlooking it but I think they must have made a tactical decision that it would [become] the headline tonight and they are looking for an economic-jobs headline tonight. You can take it from me.
With a lot of the country, it is the issue. It makes no sense to some people in the suburbs and in the cities and perhaps some places in the rural areas. But in other areas, in western Pennsylvania, guns are it. I don’t think he wanted to depress the news that he is trying to make about jobs tonight.”
