Obama cheers U.S. Olympic Team representing 'nation of immigrants'

President Obama urged Americans to unify as as a “nation of immigrants” just as the country deploys its top athletes to compete in the Summer Olympics in the midst of a turbulent election year.

“In a season of intense politics, let’s cherish this opportunity to come together around one flag,” Obama said in his weekly address Saturday. “In a time of challenge around the world, let’s appreciate the peaceful competition and sportsmanship we’ll see, the hugs and high-fives and the empathy and understanding between rivals who know we share a common humanity.”
