WASHINGTON, July 3 (UPI) -- President Barack Obama, in a July Fourth message to the nation, said America faces "daunting" but not "insurmountable" challenges.
In a message posted on the White House Web site, the president said the anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence -- when Americans "gather in town centers and wave flags in parades" -- is a time to "recall this history we share, but also to honor the vibrant and enduring spirit of America established on this day."
