President Obama concluded his remarks with an acknowledgement that, between a horrible bombing and violent manhunt in Boston and an even more deadly industrial explosion in West, Texas, it’s been a very trying time for the nation.
“All in all, this has been a tough week,” he said, “but we’ve seen the character of our country once more. And as president, I am confident that we have the courage and the resilience and spirit to overcome these challenges and to go forward as one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
