Barack Obama: “And let me underscore, the United States keeps our commitments.”

The full weight of the federal government is being brought down on a law-abiding elected official because she has dared to criticize the president.

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

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

And I will fight for that, even if I don’t always think it’s going to win.
