U.S. Senator Dan Coats' official Senate headshot

WASHINGTON D.C. (WOWO): A U.S. Senator from Indiana is calling on President Barack Obama to unite the country.

Senator Dan Coats says it's time for President Obama to declare that “all lives matter”. In fact, Coats points out that Obama declared that he would be a uniter-in-chief when he originally campaigned to be President in 2008. 

Coats feels that the country has become more fractured since Obama took office and is calling on him to “lead our country toward unity and healing” and “declare that every life matters”. 

President Obama hasn't commented on the execution-style killing in Houston, but has instead garnered headlines for changing the name of a mountain in Alaska.
