President Obama used his weekly address to wish the country a happy Fourth, replete with cookouts, fireworks, and family fun. Speaking of the Founding Fathers, the president said, “They fought a revolution. Few would have bet on our side to win. But for the first of many times to come, America proved the doubters wrong.” Obama and the first family will celebrate Independence Day with 1,200 military personnel and their families at a USO show followed by the national fireworks display.
