第一篇：2011-9-17美国总统电台演讲稿

党的十七大提出的实现全面建设小康社会奋斗目标的新要求？

（1）正确理解“总体上的小康”和“全面建设小康社会”的联系和区别。

经过全党和全国各族人民的共同努力，20世纪末，我国人民生活总体上开始达到小康水平。在此基础上，党的十六大提出，我们要在21世纪头20年，全面建设一个惠及十几亿偷听 更高水平的小康社会的奋斗目标。

两者的联系表现为：同处于第二步到第三步的战略阶段，同处于小康阶段。

两者的区别体现在：其一，“总体小康”是指我们现在已达到的小康现状，而“全面建设小康社会”是21世纪头20年将要达到的目标。其二，总体小康还是低水平、不全面、发展很不平衡的小康；而全面建设小康是将目前低水平、不全面、发展很不平衡的小康社会，发展成为更高水平、内容比较全面、发展较为均衡的小康社会。这个目标的实现，将使我国经济更加发展、民主更加健全、科教更加进步、文化更加繁荣、社会更加和谐、人民生活更加殷实。

（2）党的十七大顺应国内外形势的新变化和各族人民过上更好生活的新期待，把握经济社会发展趋势和规律，坚持中国特色社会主义经济建设、政治建设、文化建设、社会建设的基本目标和基本政策构成的基本纲领，对我国的发展提出了五个方面新的更高的要求。

一是增强发展协调性，努力实现经济又好又快发展。

二是扩大社会主义民主，更好地保障人民权益和社会公平正义。

三是加强文化建设，明显提高全民族文明素质。

四是加快发展社会事业，全面改善人民生活。

五是建设生态文明，基本形成节约能源资源和保护生态环境的产业结构、增长方式、消费模式。

2、如何从理论上认识社会主义市场经济与资本主义市场经济之间的关系？

社会主义市场经济与资本主义市场经济既有区别又有联系。

第一，就其联系而言，社会主义市场经济与资本主义市场经济都具有市场经济的一般特征和要求。从资源配置方式看，都是以市场为基础性配置手段；从微观层面上看，企业都是独立的市场主体和法人实体；从经济活动看，市场经济规律起着支配作用；从宏观层面上看，政府的宏观调控主要是通过经济手段来实现的；从经济运行看，法治起着基本的保障作用。正是由于市场经济具有共性，所以社会主义市场经济也应该按照这些特征和要求来进行建设。同时，发达资本主义国家在发展市场经济过程中的一切有益的做法和经验也都是值得我们借鉴和吸收的，在这一层次上，社会主义市场经济和资本主义市场经济是可以接轨的。

第二，就区别而言，社会主义市场经济和资本主义市场经济又是两种不同的社会制度与市场经济的结合，它们体现的是不同社会经济制度下的市场经济。市场经济与不同的经济制度结合就会体现出不同的制度特征。市场经济与社会主义制度相结合，就要坚持以公有制为主体、坚持按劳分配为主体，坚持以实现共同富裕为目标。离开了这些特征就不是社会主义市场经济，而资本主义市场经济则不具有这样的特征。坚持走社会主义市场经济的发展道路，建设中国特色社会主义经济，最重要的就是坚持社会主义基本制度与市场经济的结合。这是我们的创造性和特色所在。如果离开了社会作用基本制度，就会走向资本主义。

3、社会主义初级阶段基本经济制度的确立，在社会主义所有制理论上实现了那些重大的突破和创新？

社会主义初级阶段基本经济制度的确立，标志着在所有制结构理论和实践方面又有了重大突破和创新。

第一，社会主义初级阶段基本经济制度是一个有机结合的统一体。既包括作为社会主义经济基础的公有制经济，也包括非社会主义性质的其他所有制经济。没有公有制的主体地位，就不能确保我国社会的社会作用性质，不能坚持社会主义方向和道路。没有其他所有制经济，就会拖离当代中国的基本国情，脱离初级阶段的时间。因此，既不能因为公有制以外的其他经济成分不属于社会主义性质的经济而将它们排除在基本经济制度以外，也不能因为它们属于基本经济制度而认为也是社会主义经济。社会主义经济制度的确立，能够把社会主义的本质特征和初级阶段的现实要求有机统一起来，这在社会主义所有制理论上是一个重大的突破和创新，更加有利于促进社会生产力的发展，有利于巩固和发展社会主义制度。

第二，社会主义初级阶段基本经济制度的确立，体现了党对所有制理论的与时俱进。改革开放前，由于对基本国情的认识上超越了社会主义初级阶段的实际，总认为社会主义经济制度只能有社会主义性质的公有制经济构成，即使允许非公有制经济存在和一定的发展，也只能是暂时的权宜之计。改革开放后，我们党对非公有制经济的认识逐步深化，从称其为“公有制经济必要的和有益的补充”，到强调“公有制经济与多种经济成分长期共同发展是一项长期的方针”，再到党的十五大第一次明确提出“公有制为主体、多种所有制共同发展，是我国社会主义初级阶段的一项基本经济制度”。这标志着我们党对社会主义初级阶段所有制结构的认识不仅在理论上有了重大突破和创新，在实践中也使我国进入公有制实现形式多样化和多种经济成分共同发展的新阶段。

第三，建立怎样的所有制结构，实现怎样的基本经济制度，只能以是否符合“三个有利于”作为判断标准。一切符合“三个有利于”标准的所有制形式，都可以而且也应该用来为社会主义服务。

4、如何认识公有制的性质与实现形式之间的关系？

答：公有制经济的性质和实现形式是两个不同的问题。

第一，江泽民指出，要全面认识公有制经济的含义。公有制不仅包括国有经济和集体经济，还包括混合所有制经济中的国有成分和集体成分。公有制的主体地位主要体现在：公有资产在社会总资产中占优势；国有经济控制国民经济命脉，对经济发展起主导作用。这时就全局而言，有的地方、有的产业可以有所差别。公有资产占优势，要有量的优势，更要注重质的提高。对关系国民经济命脉的重要行业和关键领域，国有经济必须占支配地位。在其他领域，可以通过资产重组和结构调整，以加强重点，提高国有资产的整体质量。在这个前提下，国有经济比重就是减少一些，也不会影响我国的社会主义性质。

第二，江泽民指出，公有制实现形式可以而且应当多样化，一切反映社会化生产规律的经营方式和组织形式都可以大胆利用。要努力寻找能够极大促进生产力发展的公有制实现形式。股份制是现代企业的一种资本组织形式，有利于所有权和经营权的分离，有利于提高企业和资本的运作效率，资本主义可以用，社会主义也可以用。不能笼统地说股份制是公有还是私有，关键是看控股权掌握在谁手中。国家和集体控股，具有明显的公有性，有利于扩大公有资本的支配范围，增强公有制的主体作用。目前城乡大量出现的多种多样的股份合作制经济，是改革中的新事物，要支持和引导，不断总结经验，使之逐步完善。

第三，公有制经济的性质体现在所有权的归属上，坚持公有制的性质，根本的是坚持国家和集体对生产资料的所有权。公有制在现实中又要通过具体的形式来实现，即采取怎样的经营方式和组织形式。公有制的性质与实现形式是两个不同层次的问题。公有制的实现形式可以而且应当多样化，一切反映社会化生产规律的经营方式和组织形式都可以大胆利用。股份制、股份合作制等都可以作为公有制经济的实现形式，只要控制权掌握在国家和集体手中，就能有效地实现公有制经济的性质。

5、结合现阶段个人收入分配制度和按劳分配的理论，对现实经济生活中个人收入出现差距的现象进行分析。

社会主义初级阶段的基本经济制度决定了与此相联系的个人收入分配实行的是按劳分配为主体、多种分配方式并存的制度。社会主义初级阶段个人收入分配制度，必须坚持按劳分配的主体地位。按劳分配以外的多种分配方式，其实质就是按生产要素的占有状况进行分配。

一是要正确看待收入分配差距。

一方面正确认识收入分配差距，我们不能脱离对市场的影响来孤立地看待和评价收入分配格局是否公平。由于社会上个人的生产要素和能力的不同，所起的作用和所做的贡献大小也不同，把贡献大小与收入分配联系起来。除了按劳分配外，应该鼓励按生产要素进行分配，在效率优先、兼顾公平的分配原则下，按贡献大小进行分配。如果不将贡献大小，而是只讲平价分配，那就不可能达到共同富裕的目标，而只会仍然共同贫穷。今天我们收入差距的拉大从某种意义上说是一种社会的进步，因为从一部分人先富起来达到共同富裕必须经过一个过程。保证收入公平的原则应该是保证人人有平等竞争的机会，因而解决当前中国收入差距拉大问题决不能采取劫富济贫的办法，而是要在加快经济发展，积极地从事“财富创造”的同时，给低收入者更多的能力和机会，给他们以平等竞争的机会。

另一方面要警惕社会分配领域中收入差距的过分扩大，甚至两极分化的现象，可能引发社会问题。总的来说，当前中国收入分配差距拉大的原因是多方面的，并非都是合理的制度安排的结果，其中也存在许多不合理和非法的因素。其一，初次分配过程中存在许多不平等的竞争，如最为突出的各种形式的行业垄断的存在；其二，收入分配再分配的手段和功能严重不足，例如对高收入调节不力，对低收入阶层缺乏有效保护；其三，灰色收入、黑色收入以及腐败等非法收入问题突出，打击力度远远不够；其四，由于地域差别的存在，东部地区比西部地区收入高，地区收入差距拉大。应该说，中国收入分配差距的出现是国民经济整体发展和提高的结果，是构建现代市场经济体制的结果，是社会主义初级阶段的必然结果，同时也是社会不公正现象的结果。从整体上看，中国的收入分配差距是社会范畴问题，其本质是劳动者先富和后富的关系，不是阶级对立的结果，积极因素及生产力发展水平起决定的作用。

二是合理调剂收入分配差距。

形成现在收入分配不合理的格局，原因是多方面的，因此，利用税收、财政等手段，调节地区、行业、部门的收入差距，缩小东、中、西部的收入差别，也必须综合治理。

第一，要社会收入分配制度的改革，从源头上解决好初次分配问题；第二，坚持效率优先，兼顾公平的原则，强化国家对收入分配的宏观调控功能；第三，要关注社会弱势群体，千方百计扩大就业，解决由失业导致的贫困问题；第四，要严厉打击贪污腐败、权钱交易等各种非法攫取社会财富的行为；第五，要以共同富裕为目标，扩大中等收入者的比重，提高

低收入者的收入水平。

总之，合理调节收入分配差距，发展经济是根本途径，“三个有利于”体现得越充分，消除贫富差距过大的社会条件就越具备，就越能增强利用税收、财政等手段调节收入分配的功能。我们既不能搞平均主义，也要防止出现两极分化，既要让一部分人先富起来，又要最终实现共同富裕。

7.如何理解转变经济发展方式，建设社会主义新农村，统筹区域发展和建设资源节约型、环境友好型社会的重大意义？

实现工业化，是我国经济发展过程中不可逾越的历史阶段。新兴工业化道路是相对于传统工业化道路而言的。新兴工业化是以信息产业为代表的现代产业的科技成果改造、提升、发展国民经济的过程，是实现人口、资源、环境、经济协调发展的新道路，重要意义在于：第一，中国能够较快地基本实现工业化，这将使世界工业化人口增加一倍，共享工业化成果，极大程度遏制南北差距拉大；第二，将有利于资源利用和环境保护，从而对世界经济的可持续发展做出重大贡献；第三，将为广大发展中国家摆脱贫困、对建立更加公正合理的国际经济新秩序从而为维护发展中国家在世界经济中的权益作出贡献，有益于世界的和平与发展。

首先，建设社会主义新农村，是贯彻落实科学发展观的重大举措。

其次，建设社会主义新农村，是确保我国现代化建设顺利推进的必然要求。

在此，建设社会主义新农村，是全面建设小康社会的重点任务。

又次，建设社会主义新农村，是保持国民经济平稳较快发展的持久动力。

最后，建设社会主义新农村，是构建社会主义和谐社会的重要基础。

统筹区域发展，促进地区协调发展，缩小区域间的发展差距，是我们经济社会发展的一重要原则。统筹区域发展，缩小区域间的发展差距，不仅是经济问题，也是政治问题，不仅关系现代化建设的全局，也关系社会稳定和国家的长治久安。坚持统筹城乡经济社会发展，逐步改变城乡二元经济结构，建设社会主义新农村，是我们党从全面建设小康社会全局出发作出的重大决策。它集中体现了我们党在新阶段“三农”工作的新理念、新思路，是对我们党长期以来特别是改革开放以来关于农业、农村、农民问题战略思想的继承和发展，是统筹城乡发展的根本措施，是新世纪新阶段解决“三农”问题的重大战略部署，为我国农村的发展展现了美好蓝图，开辟了广阔道路。

建设创新型国家，建设资源节约型、环境友好型社会的重大决策是继科教兴国和人才强国战略以来我们党提出的事关社会主义现代化建设全局的重大战略决策。既反映了我们党对世界经济、科技发展趋势和内在规律的准确把握，也反映了对我国基本国情和战略需求的科学分析。

第一，进入21世纪，在科学技术的引领和推动下，人类正经历着从工业社会向知识社会的演进。

第二，是贯彻落实科学发展观、全面建设小康社会的重大举措，是解决我国当前发展面临的突出矛盾和问题的紧迫要求。

第三，加强自主创新，建设创新型国家，是我们党综合分析世界发展大势和我国所处历史阶段提出的面向未来的重大战略。

建设资源节约型、环境友好型社会，是由我国基本国情决定的。一是我国人口多给资

源环境带来重大压力。二是我国资源相对不足、资源消耗高、利用效率低已严重制约经济社会的发展。三是我国的环境污染和生态破坏严重制约经济社会发展，威胁着人的自下而上的发展。

建设资源节约型、环境友好型社会，说到底也是协调人和自然、人和地球关系的问题。

3．为什么要坚持和完善中国共产党领导的多党合作与政治协商制度？

中国共产党领导的多党合作和政治协商制度，是我国的一项基本政治制度，是马克思主义政党理论和统一战线学说与我国具体实际相结合的产物，是中国社会主义民主政治制度的重要组成部分。

我国的政党制度是一种社会主义的新型政党制度，是建立在公有制占主体地位的社会主义经济基础之上的。

坚持和完善中国共产党领导的多党合作和政治协商制度，既有利于坚持和完善中国共产党的领导，又能充分吸纳各方面的意见，集中全国人民的意志和力量，实现广泛民主和集中领导的统一，充满活力和富有效率的统一。坚持和完善这一制度，有利于调动一切积极因素，实现国家跨世纪发展宏伟目标；有利于发展社会主义民主政治；有利于妥善处理新时期人民内部矛盾，保持我国的政治稳定，经济发展，民族团结，社会进步。坚持和完善这项制度，对于巩固和发展社会主义制度，挫败西方敌对势力利用人权，民主等对我们进行的挑战，面向新世纪推进建设中国特色社会主义事业，具有重要的战略意义。

4.怎样理解中国特色社会主义文化建设的根本任务和主要内容？

中国特色社会主义文化建设的根本任务，就是以马克思列宁主义、毛泽东思想、邓小平理论和“三个代表”重要思想为指导，全面贯彻科学发展观，着力培育有理想、有文化、有道德、有纪律的公民，切实提高全民族的思想道德素质和科学文化素质。

中国特色社会主义文化建设的主要内容包括思想道德建设和教育科学文化建设两方面。思想道德建设，解决的是整个中华民族的精神支柱和精神动力问题。加强思想道德建设，是建设社会主义核心价值体系的必然要求，是中国特色社会主义文化建设的重要内容和中心环节。加强思想道德建设，就要加快建立和完善社会主义思想道德体系，要着力培育文明道德风尚，把先进性要求同广泛性要求结合起来，进一步加强和改进思想政治工作。

教育和科学是中国特色社会主义文化建设的重要内容，对于提高民族素质，提高社会文明程度，促进经济发展和社会全面进步具有重要作用。要坚持科学技术是第一生产力，加强科学普及，提高全社会的科学素质，尤其要繁荣哲学社会科学。要把教育摆在优先发展的位置，办好让人民群众满意的教育。同时，要深化文化体制改革，解放和发展文化生产力，大力发展文化事业和文化产业，坚持经济效益和社会效益的统一。

2.“和平统一、一国两制”构想是如何形成和发展的？

中国共产党和中国政府一直把解决台湾问题，实现祖国完全统一，作为自己神圣的历史使命，并根据国内外形势的发展变化，适时制定和实施了对台方针政策。以毛泽东为代表的中国共产党人在解决台湾问题的方针上，经历了从武力解放台湾到和平解放台湾的过程。

1949年3月，新华社发表题为《中国人民一定要解放台湾》的时评。1949年12月，明确提出1950年的任务就是解放海南岛、台湾和西藏，全歼蒋介石集团的最后残余势力。朝

鲜战争爆发，解放台湾的计划被迫搁置。

20世纪50年代中期，围绕台湾问题的国内外形势都发生了很大变化。根据形势的发展变化，我们党及时调整了对台政策，提出了和平解放台湾的主张。60年代初，周恩来将我们党提出的一系列解决台湾问题的思想、政策和主张归纳为“一纲四目”。

20世纪70年代，随着中国恢复联合国合法席位和中美建交，以邓小平为核心的第二代中央领导集体从国家和民族的根本利益出发，创造性的提出了“一国两制”的科学构想。随后逐步形成了“和平统一、一国两制”的基本方针。

1978年12月，党的十一届三中全会公报首次以“台湾回到祖国怀抱，实行统一大业”来代替“解放台湾”的提法。1979年元旦，全国人大常委会发表《告台湾同胞书》，郑重宣示了争取祖国和平统一的大政方针，两岸关系由此揭开新的历史篇章。

1981年9月，叶剑英对新华社记者发表了被成为“叶九条”的谈话，进一步阐明了解决台湾问题的方针政策。1982年1月，邓小平指出“九条方针是以叶副主席的名义提出来的，实际上就是一个国家两种制度。”这是邓小平首次提出“和平统一、一国两制”的概念。

1982年12月，全国人大五届五次会议通过了《中华人民共和国宪法》，其中第31条所载明的“设立特别行政区”，指得就是实行“一国两制”。这表明，实行“一国两制”有了宪法的保证。

1983年6月，邓小平在会见美籍华人学者时，进一步阐述了实现台湾和祖国大陆和平统一的构想，后来被称为“邓六条”，“邓六条”使“一国两制”构想更加完备、充实，更加具体化、系统化。

1985年3月，六届全国人大三次会议正式把“一国两制”确定为中国的一项基本国策。

5.新形势下如何努力推动两岸关系的和平发展？

2008年12月31日，胡锦涛在纪念《告台湾同胞书》发表30周年座谈会上发表重要讲话，全面系统地阐述了两岸关系和平发展的思想，明确提出了新世纪新阶段推动两岸关系和平发展的六点意见。

第一，恪守一个中国，增进政治互信。

第二，推进经济合作，促进共同发展。

第三，弘扬中华文化，加强精神纽带。

第四，加强人员往来，扩大各界交流。

第五，维护国家主权，协商涉外事务。

第六，结束敌对状态，达成和平协议。

这篇讲话是新形势下指导对台工作的纲领性文件，对进一步做好对台工作具有十分重要的指导意义。

第二篇：美国总统电台演讲

Last weekend, on the Fourth of July, Michelle and I welcomed some of our extraordinary military men and women and their families to the White House.They were just like the thousands of active duty personnel and veterans I’ve met across this country and around the globe.Proud.Strong.Determined.Men and women with the courage to answer their country’s call, and the character to serve the United States of America.Because of that service;because of the honor and heroism of our troops around the world;our people are safer, our nation is more secure, and we are poised to end our combat mission in Iraq by the end of August, completing a drawdown of more than 90,000 troops since last January.Still, we are a nation at war.For the better part of a decade, our men and women in uniform have endured tour after tour in distant and dangerous places.Many have risked their lives.Many have given their lives.And as a grateful nation, humbled by their service, we can never honor these American heroes or their families enough.Just as we have a solemn responsibility to train and equip our troops before we send them into harm’s way, we have a solemn responsibility to provide our veterans and wounded warriors with the care and benefits they’ve earned when they come home.That is our sacred trust with all who serve – and it doesn’t end when their tour of duty does.To keep that trust, we’re building a 21st century VA, increasing its budget, and ensuring the steady stream of funding it needs to support medical care for our veterans.To help our veterans and their families pursue a college education, we’re funding and implementing the post-9/11 GI Bill.To deliver better care in more places, we’re expanding and increasing VA health care, building new wounded warrior facilities, and adapting care to better meet the needs of female veterans.To stand with those who sacrifice, we’ve dedicated new support for wounded warriors and the caregivers who put their lives on hold for a loved one’s long recovery.And to do right by our vets, we’re working to prevent and end veteran homelessness – because in the United States of America, no one who served in our uniform should sleep on our streets.We also know that for many of today’s troops and their families, the war doesn’t end when they come home.Too many suffer from the signature injuries of today’s wars: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injury.And too few receive the screening and treatment they need.Now, in past wars, this wasn’t something America always talked about.And as a result, our troops and their families often felt stigmatized or embarrassed when it came to seeking help.Today, we’ve made it clear up and down the chain of command that folks should seek help if they need it.In fact, we’ve expanded mental health counseling and services for our vets.But for years, many veterans with PTSD who have tried to seek benefits – veterans of today’s wars and earlier wars – have often found themselves stymied.They’ve been required to produce evidence proving that a specific event caused their PTSD.And that practice has kept the vast majority of those with PTSD who served in non-combat roles, but who still waged war, from getting the care they need.Well, I don’t think our troops on the battlefield should have to take notes to keep for a claims application.And I’ve met enough veterans to know that you don’t have to engage in a firefight to endure the trauma of war.So we’re changing the way things are done.On Monday, the Department of Veterans Affairs, led by Secretary Ric Shinseki, will begin making it easier for a veteran with PTSD to get the benefits he or she needs.This is a long-overdue step that will help veterans not just of the Afghanistan and Iraq Wars, but generations of their brave predecessors who proudly served and sacrificed in all our wars.It’s a step that proves America will always be here for our veterans, just as they’ve been there for us.We won’t let them down.We take care of our own.And as long as I’m Commander-in-Chief, that’s what we’re going to keep doing.Thank you.

Weekly Address: Congress Should Take Action to ContinueGrowing the Economy

WASHINGTON, DC— In this week’s address, President Obama said that the economy is moving inthe right direction, but there is still more work to do.He called on Congress to act to give everyresponsible homeowner the chance to save money on their mortgage by refinancing at historicallylow interest rates, put more Americans to work rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure, and fix ourbroken immigration system, so that we can continue to grow our economy and create goodmiddle class jobs.Remarks of President Barack Obama

Weekly Address The White House JUNE 01, 2013

Hi, everybody.Over the past four and a half years, we’ve been fighting our way back from aneconomic crisis and punishing recession that cost millions of Americans their jobs, their homes, andthe sense of security they’d worked so hard to build.And thanks to the grit and determination of the American people, our businesses have nowcreated nearly 7 million new jobs over the past 38 months.An auto industry that was flat lining is once again the heartbeat of American manufacturing – withAmericans buying more cars than we have in five years.Within the next few months, we’re projected to begin producing more of our own crude oil athome than we buy from other countries – the first time that’s happened in 16 years.Deficits that were growing for years are now shrinking at the fastest rate in decades.The rise ofhealth care costs is slowing, too.And a housing market that was in tatters is showing new signs ofreal strength.Sales are rising.Foreclosures are declining.Construction is expanding.And homeprices that are rising at the fastest rate in nearly seven years are helping a lot of families breathe alot easier.Now we need to do more.This week, my administration announced that we’re extending a program to help more responsiblefamilies modify their mortgages so they can stay in their homes.But to keep our housing market and our economy growing, Congress needs to step up and do itspart.Members of Congress will be coming back next week for an important month of work.We’vegot to keep this progress going until middle-class families start regaining that sense of security.Andwe can’t let partisan politics get in the way.Congress should pass a law giving every responsible homeowner the chance to save about$3,000 a year on their mortgage by refinancing at historically low interest rates.Congress should put more Americans to work rebuilding our crumbling roads and bridges, like theone that collapsed last week in Washington state.We’d all be safer, and the unemployment ratewould fall faster.And Congress should fix our broken immigration system by passing commonsense reform thatcontinues to strengthen our borders;holds employers accountable;provides a pathway toearned citizenship;and also modernizes our legal immigration system so that we’re reunitingfamilies and attracting the highly-skilled entrepreneurs and engineers who will help our economygrow.So there are a lot of reasons to feel optimistic about where we’re headed as a country – especiallyafter all we ’ ve fought through together.We’ve just got to keep going.Because we’ve got moregood jobs to create.We’ve got more kids to educate.We’ve got more doors of opportunity toopen for anyone who’s willing to work hard enough to walk through those doors.And if we work together, I’m as confident as I’ve ever been that we’ll get to where we need to be.Thanks and have a great weekend.

WEEKLY ADDRESS: Growing the Housing Market andSupporting our Homeowners

WASHINGTON, DC— In this week’s address, President Obama said seven years afterthe real estate bubble burst, our housing market is healing.The administration’spolicies have helped responsible homeowners save money on their mortgages andstay in their homes, and the President’s consumer watchdog agency is working toprotect consumers from being taken advantage of on their mortgages, but there isstill more work to do.The President urges Congress to quickly confirm Mel Watt tolead the Federal Housing Finance Agency, and take action to give every responsiblehomeowner the chance to refinance and save money on their mortgage, so that wecan keep growing the housing market, support working families, and strengthen theeconomy.Remarks of President Barack Obama

Weekly Address The White House MAY 11, 2013

Hi, everybody.Our top priority as a nation is reigniting the true engine of our economic growth –a rising, thriving middle class.And few things define what it is to be middle class in America morethan owning your own cornerstone of the American Dream: a home.Today, seven years after the real estate bubble burst, triggering the worst economic crisis sincethe Great Depression and costing millions of responsible Americans their jobs and their homes, ourhousing market is healing.Sales are up.Foreclosures are down.Construction is expanding.Andthanks to rising home prices over the past year, 1.7 million more American families have been ableto come up for air, because they’re no longer underwater on their mortgages.From the day I took office, I’ve made it a priority to help responsible homeowners and prevent thekind of recklessness that helped cause this crisis in the first place.My housing plan has already helped more than two million people refinance their mortgages, andthey’re saving an average of $3000 per year.My new consumer watchdog agency is moving forward on protections like a simpler, shortermortgage form that will help to keep hard-working families from getting ripped off.But we ’ ve still got more work to do.We ’ ve got more responsible homeowners to help – folkswho have never missed a mortgage payment, but aren’ t allowed to refinance;working familieswho have done everything right, but still owe more on their homes than they’re worth.Last week, I nominated a man named Mel Watt to take on these challenges as the head of theFederal Housing Finance Agency.Mel’s represented the people of North Carolina in Congress for 20years, and in that time, he helped lead efforts to put in place rules of the road that protectconsumers from dishonest mortgage lenders, and give responsible Americans the chance to owntheir own home.He’s the right person for the job, and that ’ s why Congress should do its job,and confirm him without delay.And they shouldn’t stop there.As I said before, more than two million Americans have alreadyrefinanced at today’s low rates, but we can do a lot better than that.I’ve called on Congress togive every responsible homeowner the chance to refinance, and with it, the opportunity to save$3,000 a year.That’s like a $3,000 tax cut.And if you’re one of the millions of Americans whocould take advantage of that, you should ask your representative in Congress why they won’t acton it.Our economy and our housing market are poised for progress – but we could do so much more ifwe work together.More good jobs.Greater security for middle-class families.A sense that yourhard work is rewarded.That’s what I’m fighting for – and that’s what I’m going to keep fighting foras long as I hold this office.Thank you.And have a great weekend.

Hi, everybody.This week, I've been speaking about America's national security – our past, ourpresent, and our future.On Thursday, I outlined the future of our fight against terrorism – the threats we face, and theway in which we will meet them.On Friday, I went to Annapolis to celebrate the extraordinary young men and women of theUnited States Naval Academy's Class of 2013 – the sailors and Marines who will not only lead thatfight, but who will lead our country for decades to come.And on Monday, we celebrate Memorial Day.Unofficially, it's the start of summer – a chance for usto spend some time with family and friends, at barbecues or on the beach, getting a little fun andrelaxation in before heading back to work.It's also a day on which we set aside some time, on our own or with our families, to honor andremember all the men and women who have given their lives in service to this country we love.They are heroes, each and every one.They gave America the most precious thing they had – ―the last full measure of devotion.‖ And because they did, we are who we are today – a free andprosperous nation, the greatest in the world.At a time when only about one percent of the American people bear the burden of our defense,the service and sacrifice of our men and women in uniform isn't always readily apparent.That'spartly because our soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and coast guardsmen are so skilled at whatthey do.It's also because those who serve tend to do so quietly.They don't seek the limelight.They don't serve for our admiration, or even our gratitude.They risk their lives, and many givetheir lives, for something larger than themselves or any of us: the ideals of liberty and justice thatmake America a beacon of hope for the world.That's been true throughout our history – from our earliest days, when a tiny band ofrevolutionaries stood up to an Empire, to our 9/11 Generation, which continues to serve andsacrifice today.Every time a threat has risen, Americans have risen to meet it.And because of that courage – thatwillingness to fight, and even die – America endures.That is the purpose of Memorial Day.To remember with gratitude the countless men and womenwho gave their lives so we could know peace and live in freedom.And we must do more than remember.We must care for the loved ones that our fallen service members have left behind.We must make sure all our veterans have the care and benefits they've earned, and the jobs andopportunity they deserve.We must be there for the military families whose loved ones are in harm's way – for they serve aswell.And above all, we must make sure that the men and women of our armed forces have thesupport they need to achieve their missions safely at home and abroad.The young men and women I met at the Naval Academy this week know the meaning of service.They've studied the heroes of our history.They've chosen to follow in their footsteps – to standtheir watch, man a ship, lead a platoon.They are doing their part.And each of us must do ours.So this weekend, as we commemorate Memorial Day, I ask you to hold all our fallen heroes in yourhearts.And every day, let us work together to preserve what their sacrifices achieved – to make ourcountry even stronger, even more fair, even more free.That is our mission.It is our obligation.And it is our privilege, as the heirs of those who came before us, and as citizens of the UnitedStates of America.Thanks.
