President Barack Obama paid tribute on Saturday to boxer Muhammad Ali, saying his fight for racial justice and religious tolerance "shook up the world" and was an inspiration. "Muhammad Ali shook up the world. And the world is better for it. We are all better for it," Obama said in a lengthy statement honoring Ali's accomplishments.  The former world heavyweight boxing champion died on Friday at age 74 after suffering from Parkinson's disease for three decades.
