Barack Obama: “I encourage all Americans to reflect upon and renew our commitment to our legal traditions.”

It is a decision about how do we face and embrace this finite amount of time we have on the planet.

I’m going to insist that we can do better than we’re doing right now.

The fact that any president, or any administration, is willing to engage in such transparent efforts to intimidate someone should outrage all Americans, regardless of how they feel about Congresswoman Omar’s political views.

I think when we act on that basis, it doesn't always work out, but over time things do get better.
