Weekly Addresses: Holidays, Keystone Pipeline [VIDEO]

In his weekly radio and Internet address, Obama says the Easter and Passover holidays give millions of Christians, Jews and people of other faiths a chance to slow down and recommit themselves to loving their neighbors and seeing everyone as a child of God.

“This weekend, I hope we’re all able to take a moment to pause and reflect” Obama said. “To embrace our loved ones. To give thanks for our blessings. To rededicate ourselves to interests larger than our own.”

Jews celebrated Passover at sundown on Monday. Easter is Sunday.
