   U.S. President Barack Obama devoted his weekly address Saturday to the
   recognition of Easter and Passover.
   The president said whether it is Jews gathering for a second Seder
   Saturday, retelling the story of Exodus, or Christians celebrating the
   resurrection of Jesus on Easter Sunday, both holidays give people
   strength to face the future through faith.
   Obama, a Christian, says elements of Jesus' story of triumph over
   despair can resonate with everyone.
   In the Republican address, Governor Mary Fallin of the central state of
   Oklahoma chastised President Obama for not fully supporting a pipeline
   to transport oil from Canada into the U.S.
   She says the Obama administration has ignored energy infrastructure
   projects that could create new jobs and boost revenues to states.
