Obama: 'We Do Not Allow Ourselves To Be Defined By Fear'
In this weekend's YouTube address, President Obama marked the ninth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. He also called for tolerance, telling Americans to remember that they are one nation, bound by common ideals.
"This is a time of difficulty for our country," said Obama. "And it is often in such moments that some try to stoke bitterness - to divide us based on our differences, to blind us to what we have in common. But on this day, we are reminded that at our best, we do not give in to this temptation. We stand with one another. We fight alongside one another. We do not allow ourselves to be defined by fear, but by the hopes we have for our families, for our nation, and for a brighter future. So let us grieve for those we've lost, honor those who have sacrificed, and do our best to live up to the values we share - on this day, and every day that follows."
