Last night, as Americans learned that the United States had carried out an operation that resulted in the capture and death of Osama bin Laden, we... you know, I think we experienced the same sense of unity that prevailed on 9/11. We were reminded again that there is a pride in what this nation stands for and what we can achieve that runs far deeper than party, far deeper than politics.
Obama reflects on the unity felt by Americans following the operation that killed bin Laden, emphasizing national pride over political divisions.

At least one of our major parties has been captured by politics that is not that subtle about suggesting that ‘We the people’ means a certain kind of people.
