President Obama's Speech in Tucson
President Obama appeared before more than 30,000 people to memorialize the six people killed in a Tucson shopping center last Saturday, delivering what one historian called "one of his best speeches ever." Obama urged Americans to become better people and to communicate with each other "in a way that heals, not in a way that wounds."
The President said that Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who is recuperating from a bullet wound, miraculously opened her eyes for the first time shortly after Obama paid a visit, adding, "She knows we're here, and she knows we love her." Watch the entire speech.
