Barack Obama: “In the end, that is not only our responsibility as Americans, it is our obligation as stewards of God's Earth.”

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

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

It is a basic principle of American democracy that the government can’t selectively target individuals simply because of their political beliefs or what they say.
