Obama Weekly Address: Coming Together to Remember

Saturday, August 27, 2011

In just two weeks, we’ll come together, as a nation, to mark the 10th anniversary of the September 11th attacks.We’ll remember the innocent lives we lost.We’ll stand with the families who loved them.We’ll honor the heroic first responders who rushed to the scene and saved so many.And we’ll pay tribute to our troops and military families, and all those who have served over the past ten years, to keep us safe and strong.We’ll also recall how the worst terrorist attack in American history brought out the best in the American people.How Americans lined up to give blood.How volunteers drove across the country to lend a hand.How schoolchildren donated their savings.How communities, faith groups and businesses collected food and clothing.We were united, and the outpouring of generosity and compassion reminded us that in times of challenge, we Americans move forward together, as one people.This September 11th, Michelle and I will join the commemorations at Ground Zero, in Shanksville, and at the Pentagon.But even if you can’t be in New York, Pennsylvania or Virginia, every American can be part of this anniversary.Once again, 9/11 will be a National Day of Service and Remembrance.And in the days and weeks ahead, folks across the country—in all 50 states—will come together, in their communities and neighborhoods, to honor the victims of 9/11 and to reaffirm the strength of our nation with acts of service and charity.In Minneapolis, volunteers will help restore a community center.In Winston-Salem, North Carolina, they’ll hammer shingles and lay floors to give families a new home.In Tallahassee, Florida, they’ll assemble care packages for our troops overseas and their families here at home.In Orange County, California, they’ll renovate homes for our veterans.And once again, Michelle and I look forward to joining a local service project as well.There are so many ways to get involved, and every American can do something.To learn more about the opportunities where you live, just go online and visit Serve.gov.Even the smallest act of service, the simplest act of kindness, is a way to honor those we lost;a way to reclaim that spirit of unity that followed 9/11.On this 10th anniversary, we still face great challenges as a nation.We’re emerging from the worst economic crisis in our lifetimes.We’re taking the fight to al Qaeda, ending the war in Iraq and starting to bring our troops home from Afghanistan.And we’re working to rebuild the foundation of our national strength here at home.None of this will be easy.And it can’t be the work of government alone.As we saw after 9/11, the strength of America has always been the character and compassion of our people.So as we mark this solemn anniversary, let’s summon that spirit once more.And let’s show that the sense of common purpose that we need in America doesn’t have to be a fleeting moment;it can be a lasting virtue—not just on one day, but every day.

The White House

Office of the Press Secretary

For Immediate Release May 02, 2011

THE PRESIDENT: Good evening.Tonight, I can report to the American people and to the world that the United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al Qaeda, and a terrorist who’s responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women, and children.It was nearly 10 years ago that a bright September day was darkened by the worst attack on the American people in our history.The images of 9/11 are seared into our national memory--hijacked planes cutting through a cloudless September sky;the Twin Towers collapsing to the ground;black smoke billowing up from the Pentagon;the wreckage of Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where the actions of heroic citizens saved even more

heartbreak and destruction.And yet we know that the worst images are those that were unseen to the world.The empty seat at the dinner table.Children who were forced to grow up without their mother or their father.Parents who would never know the feeling of their child’s embrace.Nearly 3,000 citizens taken from us, leaving a gaping hole in our hearts.On September 11, 2001, in our time of grief, the American people came together.We offered our neighbors a hand, and we offered the wounded our blood.We reaffirmed our ties to each other, and our love of community and country.On that day, no matter where we came from, what God we prayed to, or what race or

ethnicity we were, we were united as one American family.We were also united in our resolve to protect our nation and to bring those who committed this vicious attack to justice.We quickly learned that the 9/11 attacks were carried out by al Qaeda--an organization headed by Osama bin Laden, which had openly declared war on the United States and was committed to killing innocents in our country and around the globe.And so we went to war against al Qaeda to protect our citizens, our friends, and our allies.Over the last 10 years, thanks to the tireless and heroic work of our military and our counterterrorism professionals, we’ve made great strides in that effort.We’ve

disrupted terrorist attacks and strengthened our homeland defense.In Afghanistan, we removed the Taliban 塔利班government, which had given bin Laden and al Qaeda safe haven 港口and support.And around the globe, we worked with our friends and allies to capture or kill scores of al Qaeda terrorists, including several who were a part of the 9/11 plot.Yet Osama bin Laden avoided capture and escaped across the Afghan border into Pakistan.Meanwhile, al Qaeda continued to operate from along that border and operate through its affiliates附属企业；分支机构； across the world.And so shortly after taking office, I directed Leon Panetta, the director of the CIA, to make the killing or capture of bin Laden the top priority of our war against al Qaeda, even as we continued our broader efforts to disrupt, dismantle废除, and defeat his network.Then, last August, after years of painstaking work by our intelligence community, I was briefed on a possible lead to bin Laden.It was far from certain, and it took many months to run this thread to ground.I met repeatedly with my national security team as we developed more information about the possibility that we had located bin Laden hiding within a compound deep inside of Pakistan.And finally, last week, I

determined that we had enough intelligence to take action, and authorized an operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice.Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability.No Americans were harmed.They took care to avoid civilian casualties.After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body.For over two decades, bin Laden has been al Qaeda’s leader and symbol, and has continued to plot attacks against our country and our friends

and allies.The death of bin Laden marks the most significant achievement to date in our nation’s effort to defeat al Qaeda.Yet his death does not mark the end of our effort.There’s no doubt that al Qaeda will continue to pursue attacks against us.We must –-and we will--remain vigilant at home and abroad.As we do, we must also reaffirm that the United States is not –-and never will be-– at war with Islam.I’ve made clear, just as President Bush did shortly after 9/11, that our war is not against Islam.Bin Laden was not a Muslim leader;he was a mass murderer of Muslims.Indeed, al Qaeda has slaughtered scores of Muslims in many countries，including our own.So his demise 死亡should be welcomed by all who believe in peace and human dignity.Over the years, I’ve repeatedly made clear that we would take action within Pakistan if we knew where bin Laden was.That is what we’ve done.But it’s important to note that our counterterrorism cooperation with Pakistan helped lead us to bin Laden and the compound where he was hiding.Indeed, bin Laden had declared war against Pakistan as well, and ordered attacks against the Pakistani people.Tonight, I called President Zardari, and my team has also spoken with their Pakistani counterparts.They agree that this is a good and historic

day for both of our nations.And going forward, it is essential that Pakistan continue to join us in the fight against al Qaeda and its affiliates.The American people did not choose this fight.It came to our shores, and started with the senseless slaughter of our citizens.After nearly 10 years of service, struggle, and sacrifice, we know well the costs of war.These efforts weigh on me重压于 every time I, as Commander-in-Chief, have to sign a letter to a family that has lost a loved one, or look into the eyes of a service member who’s been gravely wounded.So Americans understand the costs of war.Yet as a country, we will never

tolerate our security being threatened, nor stand idly by when our people have been killed.We will be relentless in defense of our citizens and our friends and allies.We will be true to the values that make us who we are.And on nights like this one, we can say to those families who have lost loved ones to al Qaeda’s terror: Justice has been done.Tonight, we give thanks to the countless intelligence and counterterrorism professionals who’ve worked tirelessly to achieve this outcome.The American people do not see their work, nor know their names.But tonight, they feel the satisfaction of their work and the result of their pursuit of justice.We give thanks for the men who

carried out this operation, for they exemplify the professionalism, patriotism, and unparalleled courage of those who serve our country.And they are part of a generation that has borne the heaviest share of the burden since that September day.Finally, let me say to the families who lost loved ones on 9/11 that we have never forgotten your loss, nor wavered 动摇in our commitment to see that we do whatever it takes to prevent another attack on our shores.And tonight, let us think back to the sense of unity that prevailed on 9/11.I know that it has, at times, frayed.Yet today’s achievement is a testament to the greatness of our country and the determination of the

American people.The cause of securing our country is not complete.But tonight, we are once again reminded that America can do whatever we set our mind to.That is the story of our history, whether it’s the pursuit of prosperity for our people, or the struggle for equality for all our citizens;our commitment to stand up for our values abroad, and our sacrifices to make the world a safer place.Let us remember that we can do these things not just because of wealth or power, but because of who we are: one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.Thank you.May God bless you.And

may God bless the United States of America.Central Intelligence Agency（中央情报局，美国

奥巴马关于太阳能与新能源的电视讲话：

Over the past twenty months, we’ve been fighting not just to create more jobs today, but to rebuild our economy on a stronger foundation.Our future as a nation depends on making sure that the jobs and industries of the 21st century take root here in America.And there is perhaps no industry with more potential to create jobs now – and growth in the coming years – than clean energy.For decades, we’ve talked about the importance of ending our dependence on foreign oil and pursuing new kinds of energy, like wind and solar power.But for just as long, progress had been prevented at every turn by the special interests and their allies in Washington.So, year after year, our dependence on foreign oil grew.Families have been held hostage to spikes in gas prices.Good manufacturing jobs have gone overseas.And we’ve seen companies produce new energy technologies and high-skilled jobs not in America, but in countries like China, India and Germany.It was essential – for our economy, our security, and our planet – that we finally tackle this challenge.That is why, since we took office, my administration has made an historic commitment to promote clean energy technology.This will mean hundreds of thousands of new American jobs by 2012.Jobs for contractors to install energy-saving windows and insulation.Jobs for factory workers to build high-tech vehicle batteries, electric cars, and hybrid trucks.Jobs for engineers and construction crews to create wind farms and solar plants that are going to double the renewable energy we can generate in this country.These are jobs building the future.For example, I want share with you one new development, made possible by the clean energy incentives we have launched.This month, in the Mojave Desert, a company called BrightSource plans to break ground on a revolutionary new type of solar power plant.It’s going to put about a thousand people to work building a state-of-the-art facility.And when it’s complete, it will turn sunlight into the energy that will power up to 140,000 homes – the largest such plant in the world.Not in China.Not in India.But in California.With projects like this one, and others across this country, we are staking our claim to continued leadership in the new global economy.And we’re putting Americans to work producing clean, home-grown American energy that will help lower our reliance on foreign oil and protect our planet for future generations.Now there are some in Washington who want to shut them down.In fact, in the Pledge they recently released, the Republican leadership is promising to scrap all the incentives for clean energy projects, including those currently underway – even with all the jobs and potential that they hold.This doesn’t make sense for our economy.It doesn’t make sense for Americans who are looking for jobs.And it doesn’t make sense for our future.To go backwards and scrap these plans means handing the competitive edge to China and other nations.It means that we’ll grow even more dependent on foreign oil.And, at a time of economic hardship, it means forgoing jobs we desperately need.In fact, shutting down just this one project would cost about a thousand jobs.That’s what’s at stake in this debate.We can go back to the failed energy policies that profited the oil companies but weakened our country.We can go back to the days when promising industries got set up overseas.Or we can go after new jobs in growing industries.We can spur innovation and help make our economy more competitive.We know the choice that’s right for America.We need to do what we’ve always done – put our ingenuity and can do spirit to work to fight for a brighter future.Thanks..环保！，经济，恐怖，党，解放，开放，教育，卫生，自然灾害，旅游，生活，会议，体育，战争，食品安全！

President Barack Obama Weekly Address: Working Together to Create Jobs The White House October 15, 2011

I'm here in Detroit visiting workers at a GM plant in the heart of a resurgent American auto industry.And I brought a guest with me ? President Lee of South Korea.We're here because this week, Congress passed landmark trade agreements with countries like Korea, and assistance for American workers that will be a big win for our economy.These trade agreements will support tens of thousands of American jobs.And we'll sell more Fords, Chevys and Chryslers abroad stamped with three proud words ? “Made in America.”

So it was good to see Congress act in a bipartisan way on something that will help create jobs at a time when millions of Americans are out of work and need them now.But that's also why it was so disappointing to see Senate Republicans obstruct the American Jobs Act, even though a majority of Senators voted “yes” to advance this jobs bill.We can't afford this lack of action.And there is no reason for it.Independent economists say that this jobs bill would give the economy a jumpstart and lead to nearly two million new jobs.Every idea in that jobs bill is the kind of idea both parties have supported in the past.The majority of the American people support the proposals in this jobs bill.And they want

action from their elected leaders to create jobs and restore some security for the middle class right now.You deserve to see your hard work and responsibility rewarded ? and you certainly deserve to see it reflected in the folks you send to Washington.But rather than listen to you and put folks back to work, Republicans in the House spent the past couple days picking partisan ideological fights.They're seeing if they can roll back clean air and water protections.They're stirring up fights over a woman's right to make her own health care choices.They're not focused on the concrete actions that will put people back to work right now.Well, we're going to give them another chance.We're going to give them another chance to spend more time worrying about your jobs than keeping theirs.Next week, I'm urging Members of Congress to vote on putting hundreds of thousands of teachers back in the classroom, cops back on the streets, and firefighters back on the job.And if they vote “no” on that, they'll have to tell you why.They'll have to tell you why teachers in your community don't deserve a paycheck again.They'll have to tell your kids why they don't deserve to have their teacher back.They'll have to tell you why they're against commonsense proposals that would help families and strengthen our communities right now.In the coming weeks, we'll have them vote on the other parts of the jobs bill ? putting construction workers back on the job, rebuilding our roads and bridges;providing tax cuts for small businesses that hire our veterans;making sure that middle-class families don't see a tax hike next year and that the unemployed and our out-of-work youth have a chance to get back in the workforce and earn their piece of the American Dream.That's what's at stake.Putting people back to work.Restoring economic security for the middle class.Rebuilding an economy where hard work is valued and responsibility is

rewarded ? an economy that's built to last.And I'm going to travel all over the country over the next few weeks so we can remind Congress so that's the most important thing.Because there's still time to create jobs and grow our economy right now.There's still time for Congress to do the right thing.We just need to act.Thanks.

Weekly Address: Ending the Stalemate in Washington

June 16, 2012 Over the last few weeks, I’ve been talking a lot about America’s economic future.I’ve told you how I believe we should go about creating strong, sustained growth;how we should pay down our long-term debt in a balanced way;and most of all, what we should do right now to create good, middle-class jobs, so people who work hard can get ahead.This isn’t some abstract debate or trivial argument.I’ve said that this is the defining issue of our time, and I mean it.I’ve said that this is a make-or-break moment for the middle class, and I believe it.The decisions we make over the next few years will have an enormous impact on the country we live in, and the one we pass on to our children.Right now, we’re still fighting our way back from the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.The economy is growing again, but it’s not growing fast enough.Our businesses have created 4.3 million new jobs over the last 27 months, but we’re not creating them fast enough.And we’re facing some pretty serious headwinds – from the effects of the recent spike in gas prices, to the financial crisis in Europe.But here’s the thing.We have the answers to these problems.We have plenty of big ideas and technical solutions from both sides of the aisle.That’s not what’s holding us back.What’s holding us back is a stalemate in Washington.Last September, I sent Congress a jobs bill full of the kinds of bipartisan ideas that could have put over a million Americans back to work and helped bolster our economy against outside shocks.I sent them a plan that would have reduced our deficit by $4 trillion in a balanced way that pays for the investments we need by cutting unnecessary spending and asking the wealthiest Americans to pay a little bit more in taxes.Since then, Congress has passed a few parts of that jobs bill, like a tax cut that's allowing working Americans to keep more of your paycheck every week.But on most of the ideas that would create jobs and grow our economy, Republicans in Congress haven’t lifted a finger.They’d rather wait until after the election in November.Just this past week, one

of them said, “Why not wait for the reinforcements?” That’s a quote.And you can bet plenty of his colleagues are thinking the same thing.I think that’s wrong.This isn’t about who wins or loses in Washington.This is about your jobs, your paychecks, your children’s future.There’s no excuse for Congress to stand by and do nothing while so many families are struggling.None.Right now, Congress should pass a bill to help states put thousands of teachers, firefighters and police officers back on the job.They should have passed a bill a long time ago to put thousands of construction workers back to work rebuilding our roads and bridges and runways.And instead of just talking about job creators, they should give small-business owners a tax break for hiring more workers and paying them higher wages.Right now, Congress should give every responsible homeowner the opportunity to save an average of $3,000 a year by refinancing their mortgage.They should extend tax credits for clean energy manufacturers so we don’t walk away from 40,000 good jobs.And instead of giving tax breaks to companies who ship jobs overseas, Congress should take that money and use it to cover moving expenses for companies that are bringing jobs back to America.There’s no reason to wait.Every problem we face is within our power to solve.What’s lacking is our politics.Remind your Members of Congress why you sent them to Washington in the first place.Tell them to stop worrying about the next election and start worrying about the next generation.I’m ready to work with anyone – Republican, Democrat, or Independent – who is serious about moving this country forward.And I hope Members of Congress will join me.Thanks, and have a great weekend.
