REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT

AT IFTAR DINNER

State Dining Room

8:37 P.M.EDT

THE PRESIDENT:Good evening, everybody.Welcome.Please, have a seat.Well, welcome to the White House.To you, to Muslim Americans across our country, and to more than one billion Muslims around the world, I extend my best wishes on this holy month.Ramadan Kareem.I want to welcome members of the diplomatic corps;members of my administration;and members of Congress, including Rush Holt, John Conyers, and Andre Carson, who is one of two Muslim American members of Congress, along with Keith Ellison.So welcome, all of you.Here at the White House, we have a tradition of hosting iftars that goes back several years, just as we host Christmas parties and seders and Diwali celebrations.And these events celebrate the role of faith in the lives of the American people.They remind us of the basic truth that we are all children of God, and we all draw strength and a sense of purpose from our beliefs.These events are also an affirmation of who we are as Americans.Our Founders understood that the best way to honor the place of faith in the lives of our people was to protect their freedom to practice religion.In the Virginia Act of Establishing Religion Freedom, Thomas Jefferson wrote that ―all men shall be free to profess, and by argument to maintain, their opinions in matters of religion.‖The First Amendment of our Constitution established the freedom of religion as the law of the land.And that right has been upheld ever since.Indeed, over the course of our history, religion has flourished within our borders precisely because Americans have had the right to worship as they choose — including the right to believe in no religion at all.And it is a testament to the wisdom of our Founders that America remains deeply religious — a nation where the ability of peoples of different faiths to coexist peacefully and with mutual respect for one another stands in stark contrast to the religious conflict that persists elsewhere around the globe.Now, that's not to say that religion is without controversy.Recently, attention has been focused on the construction of mosques in certain communities — particularly New York.Now, we must all recognize and respect the sensitivities surrounding the development of Lower Manhattan.The 9/11 attacks were a deeply traumatic event for our country.And the pain and the experience of suffering by those who lost loved ones is just unimaginable.So I understand the emotions that this issue engenders.And Ground Zero is, indeed, hallowed ground.But let me be clear.As a citizen, and as President, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as everyone else in this country.(Applause.)And that includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in Lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances.This is America.And our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakeable.The principle that people of all faiths are welcome in this country and that they will not be treated differently by their government is essential to who we are.The writ of the Founders must endure.We must never forget those who we lost so tragically on 9/11, and we must always honor those who led the response to that attack — from the firefighters who charged up smoke-filled staircases, to our troops who are serving in Afghanistan today.And let us also remember who we’re fighting against, and what we’re fighting for.Our enemies respect no religious

freedom.Al Qaeda’s cause is not Islam — it’s a gross distortion of Islam.These are not religious leaders — they’re terrorists who murder innocent men and women and children.In fact, al Qaeda has killed more Muslims than people of any other religion — and that list of victims includes innocent Muslims who were killed on 9/11.So that's who we’re fighting against.And the reason that we will win this fight is not simply the strength of our arms — it is the strength of our values.The democracy that we uphold.The freedoms that we cherish.The laws that we apply without regard to race, or religion, or wealth, or status.Our capacity to show not merely tolerance, but respect towards those who are different from us –-and that way of life, that quintessentially American creed, stands in stark contrast to the nihilism of those who attacked us on that September morning, and who continue to plot against us today.In my inaugural address I said that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness.We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus — and non-believers.We are shaped by every language and every culture, drawn from every end of this Earth.And that diversity can bring difficult debates.This is not unique to our time.Past eras have seen controversies about the construction of synagogues or Catholic churches.But time and again, the American people have demonstrated that we can work through these issues, and stay true to our core values, and emerge stronger for it.So it must be — and will be — today.And tonight, we are reminded that Ramadan is a celebration of a faith known for great diversity.And Ramadan is a reminder that Islam has always been a part of America.The first Muslim ambassador to the United States, from Tunisia, was hosted by President Jefferson, who arranged a sunset dinner for his guest because it was Ramadan — making it the first known iftar at the White House, more than 200 years ago.(Applause.)

Like so many other immigrants, generations of Muslims came to forge their future here.They became farmers and merchants, worked in mills and factories.They helped lay the railroads.They helped to build America.They founded the first Islamic center in New York City in the 1890s.They built America’s first mosque on the prairie of North Dakota.And perhaps the oldest surviving mosque in America — still in use today — is in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.Today, our nation is strengthened by millions of Muslim Americans.They excel in every walk of life.Muslim American communities — including mosques in all 50 states — also serve their neighbors.Muslim Americans protect our communities as police officers and firefighters and first responders.Muslim American clerics have spoken out against terror and extremism, reaffirming that Islam teaches that one must save human life, not take it.And Muslim Americans serve with honor in our military.At next week’s iftar at the Pentagon, tribute will be paid to three soldiers who gave their lives in Iraq and now rest among the heroes of Arlington National Cemetery.These Muslim Americans died for the security that we depend on, and the freedoms that we cherish.They are part of an unbroken line of Americans that stretches back to our founding;Americans of all faiths who have served and sacrificed to extend the promise of America to new generations, and to ensure that what is exceptional about America is protected — our commitment to stay true to our core values, and our ability slowly but surely to perfect our union.For in the end, we remain ―one nation, under God, indivisible.‖And we can only achieve ―liberty and justice for all‖ if we live by that one rule at the heart of every great religion, including Islam — that we do unto others as we would have them do unto us.So thank you all for being here.I wish you a blessed Ramadan.And with that, let us eat.(Applause.)

各位晚上好，各位请坐，欢迎大家来到白宫。值此伊斯兰神圣的斋月，我谨向在座的各位、向我们国家的全体穆斯林，以及向全世界10多亿穆斯林同胞送上我最美好的祝福——Ramadan kareem（斋月吉庆）。

我要感谢各位莅会的外交使节，以及本届政府成员和各位国会议员。包括拉什·霍尔特（Rush Holt），约翰·科尼尔斯（John Conyers），还有两位国会议员穆斯林安德烈·卡森（Andre Carson）和基斯·埃利森（Keith Ellison）。欢迎你们。

正如我们在这里举办圣诞聚会（基督教）、逾越节家宴（犹太教）和排灯节（印度教）庆祝活动的传统一样，在这白宫里我们举办穆斯林开斋晚宴的传统已经保持了数年之久。这些庆祝活动，在美国人民的生活当中扮演着信仰的角色，它时刻在提醒我们：我们都是上帝的子民，我们都是通过信仰来汲取力量与意志的支撑。

这些传统亦是对于我们美国人民的一种肯定，我们的先辈们意识到对待人民的信仰生活这一块，最好的方式就是竭力保护他们宗教信仰的自由。关于起草《弗吉尼亚宗教自由法》里边，托马斯·杰斐逊写道:“所有人应有对宗教事务表白、和据理力争保持他们的意见的自由。”《美国宪法第一修正案》将宗教自由作为一项国家律法收录在内，这项权利已经保留并且延续至今。

确实，在我们历史的长河中，正是由于美国给予了人民充分的宗教自由的权利，宗教在美国境内一度呈现出蓬勃发展的趋势。也包括无宗教信仰的自由。不同信仰的人们在这块土地上和平共存。

但这并不意味着宗教是没有争议的。最近的一段时间里，人们的目光聚焦在一些社区修建清真寺的问题上，特别是在纽约。现在，我们必须要承认并且需要关注有关曼哈顿低地的一些敏感话题。9/11事件的确是我们国家一个巨大的创伤，它给那些在事件中丧失亲人的人们带来的伤痛是无法想象的。所以，我理解并且包容人们因此而流露出的情绪，事实上，“归零地”（9/11之后美国人将这里称为Ground zero归零地）也是一片神圣的土地。

但是，请允许我说两句，作为一个公民，一个总统，我相信穆斯林跟这个国家里的任何公民一样，他们同样有权利去信奉他们所信仰的宗教（掌声）。这些权利包括遵照当地法律法规，他们有权在曼哈顿任何私有地方修建敬拜场所和社区中心。这——就是美国，我们对宗教自由的承诺是坚定不移、恒古不变的。我们欢迎任何不同信仰的人来到美国，他们绝对不会因为持不同信仰而被政府另眼相待，这——就是我们的原则，它代表着一个真实的美国，我们将会延着先辈的道路继续坚定地走下去。

我们永远不会忘记那些在9/11惨剧中逝去的人们，我们向那些曾经应对此次事件而做出牺牲的人们永远表示敬意；向那些冲锋在浓烟弥漫的楼梯间的消防员们表示敬意；向那些今天战斗在阿富汗前线的士兵们表示敬意。还有，让我们不要忘记我们与之战斗的敌手是谁，我们为何而战。我们的敌人不尊重宗教自由，基地组织的事业不是真正的伊斯兰，它已经被严重的扭曲和异化，他们也不是什么宗教领袖，他们只是一群杀害无辜的恐怖分子。事实上，基地组织所杀害的穆斯林是其他任何宗教所不及的，也包括在9/11事件中丧失生命的穆斯林。

所以，他们才是我们的敌人，我们要想赢得这场战争不仅仅是依靠我们军事装备的力量，还需要依靠我们价值观的力量。依靠的是我们所坚持的民主，还有我们珍视的自由，以及不分种族、不分信仰、不分贫富、不分地位，一律一视同仁的律法。

我曾经在我的就职演说中说过，我们的多元化遗产是一个优势，而不是弱势。美国是由基督徒与穆斯林、犹太教徒与印度教徒还有无神论者共同组成的一个国家。它吸收了各种语言和文化，是由来自于世界上每一个角落的语言和文化塑造而成的，而这种文化上的多样性难免会产生一些摩擦。这个问题不是我们这个时代所独有的，在过去的这段历史上，曾经也就修建犹太教堂和天主教堂而同样产生过诸多的争议。但是，美国人一次又一次的证明了，我们是能够解决这些问题的。保证我们的核心价值观的同时，我们在解决这些问题上表现的游刃有余。所以，今天我们同样能够解决它，一定能！

今天晚上，我们应该注意的是莱麦丹是一个拥有多样性的宗教的信仰庆典，它提醒我们伊斯兰从来都是属于美国文明的一部分。曾经在莱麦丹月，第一位突尼斯驻美利坚的穆斯林大使被杰佛逊总统作为贵客而款待，成为200年来首次在白宫举办的开斋晚宴。（掌声）

像其他许许多多的移民一样，穆斯林的后代们来到这里追求他们的未来，他们有的成为了农民，有的成为了商人。他们帮助我们建设铁路，为建设美国而添砖加瓦。在1980年，他们在纽约成立了第一个伊斯兰中心，并在北达科他州的大草原上建成了美国的第一座清真寺。美国现存最古老的，如今依旧在使用的清真寺应该是在赛大拉皮兹城的罗瓦清真寺。

今天，我们的国家因为数百万擅长于各行各业的穆斯林而更加繁荣昌盛。美国穆斯林共同体——包括全美50个州的清真寺同样也在为他们的邻居而服务着。美国的穆斯林警察，穆斯林消防员，穆斯林的积极响应者们忠实的守

卫着我们的社区。美国穆斯林教职人员言之凿凿的斥责恐怖主义与极端主义，一再强调伊斯兰倡导拯救生命，而不是剥夺生命。还有那些在军中服役的美国穆斯林军人们。下个星期在五角大楼举办的开斋晚宴上，我们将会授予三名军人以勋章，他们在伊拉克献出了宝贵的生命，如今安息在阿灵顿国家公墓的英雄们中间。

他们是为我们所崇尚的自由而亡，为我们所依赖的安全而亡。他们属于美国上溯到建国之初，永不间断的纽带的一部分。

最后，我们始终坚持“一个国家，上帝庇护下的，永不分割的”原则。

感谢大家莅临，祝福各位斋月吉庆，那么，让我们开始用餐吧。（掌声）

奥巴马2014白宫记者协会晚宴演讲稿中英文全

文 2014年5月3日，美国总统奥巴马在华盛顿希尔顿酒店出席一年一度的白宫记者协会晚宴（White House Correspondents Dinner, WHCD），这是奥巴马第六次出席白宫记者协会晚宴。Remarks by the President at White House Correspondents' Dinner 10:21 P.M.EDT THE PRESIDENT: Thank you so much, everybody.Have a seat, have a seat.Before I get started, can we get the new presidential setup out here?(Aides bring out two ferns.)It was worked before.(Laughter and applause.)That’s more like it.It is great to be back.What a year, huh? I usually start these dinners with a few self-deprecating jokes.After my stellar 2013, what could I possibly talk about?(Laughter.)I admit it--last year was rough.Sheesh.(Laughter.)At one point things got so bad, the 47 percent called Mitt Romney to apologize.(Laughter.)Of course, we rolled out healthcare.gov.That could have gone better.(Laughter.)In 2008 my slogan was, “Yes We Can.” In 2013 my slogan was, “Control-Alt-Delete.”(Laughter.)On the plus side, they did turn the launch of healthcare.gov into one of the year’s biggest movies.(Laughter.)But rather than dwell on the past, I would like to pivot to this dinner.Let’s welcome our headliner this evening, Joel McHale.(Applause.)On “Community,” Joel plays a preening, self-obsessed narcissist.So this dinner must be a real change of pace for you.(Laughter.)I want to thank the White House Correspondents Association for hosting us here tonight.I am happy to be here, even though I am a little jet-lagged from my trip to Malaysia.The lengths we have to go to get CNN coverage these days.(Laughter and applause.)I think they’re still searching for their table.(Laughter and applause.)MSNBC is here.They’re a little overwhelmed.(Laughter.)They’ve never seen an audience this big before.(Laughter.)But, look, everybody is trying to keep up with this incredibly fast-changing media landscape.For example, I got a lot of grief on cable news for promoting Obamacare to young people on Between Two Ferns.But that’s what young people like to watch.And to be fair, I am not the first person on television between two potted plants.(Laughter and applause.)Sometimes I do feel disrespected by you reporters.But that’s okay.Seattle Seahawk cornerback Richard Sherman is here tonight.(Applause.)And he gave me some great tips on how to handle it.Jake Tapper, don’t you ever talk about me like that!(Laughter.)I’m the best President in the game!(Laughter.)What do you think, Richard? Was that good? A little more feeling next time? While we’re talking sports, just last month, a wonderful story--an American won the Boston Marathon for first time in 30 years.(Applause.)Which was inspiring and only fair, since a Kenyan has been president for the last six.(Laughter and applause.)Had to even things out.(Laughter.)We have some other athletes here tonight, including Olympic snowboarding gold medalist Jamie Anderson is here.We’re proud of her.(Applause.)Incredibly talented young lady.Michelle and I watched the Olympics--we cannot believe what these folks do--death-defying feats--haven’t seen somebody pull a “180” that fast since Rand Paul disinvited that Nevada rancher from this dinner.(Laughter.)As a general rule, things don’t like end well if the sentence starts, “Let me tell you something I know about the negro.”(Laughter.)You don’t really need to hear the rest of it.(Laughter and applause.)Just a tip for you--don’t start your sentence that way.(Laughter.)Speaking of Rand Paul--(laughter)--Colorado legalized marijuana this year, an interesting social experiment.I do hope it doesn’t lead to a whole lot of paranoid people who think that the federal government is out to get them and listening to their phone calls.(Laughter.)That would be a problem.(Laughter.)And speaking of conservative heroes, the Koch brothers bought a table here tonight.But as usual, they used a shadowy right-wing organization as a front.Hello, Fox News.(Laughter and applause.)I’m just kidding.Let’s face it, Fox, you’ll miss me when I’m gone.(Laughter.)It will be harder to convince the American people that Hillary was born in Kenya.(Laughter and applause.)A lot of us really are concerned about the way big money is influencing our politics.I remember when a Super PAC was just me buying Marlboro 100s instead of regulars.(Laughter.)Of course, now that it’s 2014, Washington is obsessed on the midterms.Folks are saying that with my sagging poll numbers, my fellow Democrats don’t really want me campaigning with them.And I don’t think that’s true--although I did notice the other day that Sasha needed a speaker at career day, and she invited Bill Clinton.(Laughter.)I was a little hurt by that.(Laughter.)Both sides are doing whatever it takes to win the ruthless game.Republicans--this is a true story--Republicans actually brought in a group of consultants to teach their candidates how to speak to women.This is true.And I don’t know if it will work with women, but I understand that America’s teenage boys are signing up to run for the Senate in droves.(Laughter.)Anyway, while you guys focus on the horserace, I’m going to do what I do--I’m going to be focused on everyday Americans.Just yesterday, I read a heartbreaking letter--you know I get letters from folks from around the country;every day I get 10 that I read--this one got to me.A Virginia man who’s been stuck in the same part-time job for years;no respect from his boss;no chance to get ahead.I really wish Eric Cantor would stop writing me.(Laughter.)You can just pick up the phone, Eric.(Laughter.)And I’m feeling sorry--believe it or not--for the Speaker of the House, as well.These days, the House Republicans actually give John Boehner a harder time than they give me, which means orange really is the new black.(Laughter and applause.)But I have not given up the idea of working with Congress.In fact, two weeks ago, Senator Ted Cruz and I, we got a bill done together.And I have to say, the signing ceremony was something special.We’ve got a picture of it I think.(Laughter.)Look, I know, Washington seems more dysfunctional than ever.Gridlock has gotten so bad in this town you have to wonder: What did we do to piss off Chris Christie so bad?(Laughter and applause.)One issue, for example, we haven’t been able to agree on is unemployment insurance.Republicans continue to refuse to extend it.And you know what, I am beginning to think they’ve got a point.If you want to get paid while not working, you should have to run for Congress just like everybody else.(Laughter and applause.)Of course, there is one thing that keeps Republicans busy.They have tried more than 50 times to repeal Obamacare.Despite that, 8 million people signed up for health care in the first open enrollment.(Applause.)Which does lead one to ask, how well does Obamacare have to work before you don’t want to repeal it? What if everybody’s cholesterol drops to 120?(Laughter.)What if your yearly checkup came with tickets to a Clippers game?(Laughter.)Not the old, Donald Sterling Clippers--the new Oprah Clippers.Would that be good enough?(Laughter.)What if they gave Mitch McConnell a pulse?(Laughter.)What is it going to take?(Laughter.)Anyway, this year, I’ve promised to use more executive actions to get things done without Congress.My critics call this the “imperial presidency.” The truth is, I just show up every day in my office and do my job.I’ve got a picture of this I think.(Laughter and applause.)You would think they’d appreciate a more assertive approach, considering that the new conservative darling is none other than Vladimir Putin.(Laughter.)Last year, Pat Buchanan said Putin is “headed straight for the Nobel Peace Prize.” He said this.Now I know it sounds crazy but to be fair, they give those to just about anybody these days.(Laughter.)So it could happen.But it’s not just Pat--Rudy Giuliani said Putin is “what you call a leader.” Mike Huckabee and Sean Hannity keep talking about his bare chest, which is kind of weird.(Laughter.)Look it up--they talk about it a lot.(Laughter.)It is strange to think that I have just two and a half years left in this office.Everywhere I look, there are reminders that I only hold this job temporarily.(Laughter.)But it’s a long time between now and 2016, and anything can happen.You may have heard the other day, Hillary had to dodge a flying shoe at a press conference.(Laughter and applause.)I love that picture.(Laughter.)Regardless of what happens, I’ve run my last campaign and I’m beginning to think about my legacy.Some of you know--Mayor Rahm Emanuel recently announced he is naming a high school in Chicago after me, which is extremely humbling.I was even more flattered to hear Rick Perry, who is here tonigh, is doing the same thing in Texas.Take a look.(Laughter.)Thank you, Rick.It means a lot to me.(Laughter and applause.)And I intend to enjoy all the free time that I will have.George W.Bush took up painting after he left office, which inspired me to take up my own artistic side.(Laughter.)I’m sure we’ve got a shot of this.(Laughter.)Maybe not.The joke doesn’t work without the slide.(Laughter.)Oh well.Assume that it was funny.(Laughter.)Does this happen to you, Joel? It does? Okay.On a more serious note, tonight reminds us that we really are lucky to live in a country where reporters get to give a head of state a hard time on a daily basis--and then, once a year, give him or her the chance, at least, to try to return the favor.But we also know that not every journalist, or photographer, or crewmember is so fortunate, because even as we celebrate the free press tonight, our thoughts are with those in places around the globe like Ukraine, and Afghanistan, and Syria, and Egypt, who risk everything--in some cases, even give their lives--to report the news.And what tonight also reminds us is that the fight for full and fair access goes beyond the chance to ask a question.As Steve mentioned, decades ago, an African American who wanted to cover his or her President might be barred from journalism school, burdened by Jim Crow, and, once in Washington, banned from press conferences.But after years of effort, black editors and publishers began meeting with FDR’s press secretary, Steve Early.And then they met with the President himself, who declared that a black reporter would get a credential.And even when Harry McAlpin made history as the first African American to attend a presidential news conference, he wasn’t always welcomed by the other reporters.But he was welcomed by the President, who told him, I’m glad to see you, McAlpin, and I’mvery happy to have you here.Now, that sentiment might have worn off once Harry asked him a question or two--(laughter)--and Harry’s battles continued.But he made history.And we’re s proud of Sherman and his family for being here tonight, and the White House Correspondents Association for creating a scholarship in Harry’s name.(Applause.)For over 100 years, even as the White House Correspondents Association has told the story of America’s progress, you’ve lived it, too--gradually allowing equal access to women, and minorities, and gays, and Americans with disabilities.And, yes, radio, and television, and Internet reporters, aswell.And through it all, you’ve helped make sure that even as societies change, our fundamental commitment to the interaction between those who govern and those who ask questions doesn’t change.And as Jay will attest, it’s a legacy you carry on enthusiastically every single day.And because this is the 100th anniversary of the Correspondents’ Association, I actually recorded an additional brief video thanking all of you for your hard work.Can we run the video?(Video fails to play.)THE PRESIDENT: What’s going on?(Laughter.)I was told this would work.Does anybody know how to fix this?(Laughter.)(Secretary Sebelius enters from backstage.)THE PRESIDENT: Oh, thank you.(Laughter and applause.)You got it? SECRETARY SEBELIUS: I got this--I see it all the time.There, that should work.(Video plays.)THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much, everybody.God bless you.And God bless America, and thank you, Kathleen Sebelius.(Applause.)

我要感谢白宫记者协会举办今晚的活动。来到这里我很高兴。虽说我还没从马来西亚之旅中倒过时差。如今不这么干，CNN都不报道你啊【谷大白话注：吐槽CNN对马航的长期连续报道】 我觉得他们还在“搜寻”自己的座位呢？MSNBC也来了，他们有点太激动了，他们从来没见过这么多的观众。不过你看大家都在试图跟上媒体飞速变革的脚步。比如说，做客“蕨间访谈”向年轻人宣传奥氏医保的事被有线新闻台指责。但这是年轻人喜欢看的节目。公平来讲，我不是首位在电视上坐在两株盆栽植物之间的人。

有时候我确实觉得你们记者不大尊重我，不过没关系。西雅图海鹰四分卫Richard Sherman今晚也到场了。他给了我对付媒体的妙计：

Jake Tapper不许你这样说我！【谷大白话注：Tapper是CNN记者】我是天下最棒的总统！！【谷大白话注：这两句都是Sherman的经典怒吼】 Richard你觉得如何？够霸气不？下回感情再激烈点。

说到体育，就在上个月，很赞的故事。30年来，美国人首次在波士顿马拉松中夺冠。多么励志啊。肯尼亚人都做了六年总统，这样才公平嘛，我们就扯平了。【谷大白话注：自嘲出生地问题，善于长跑的肯尼亚人当了美国总统，那美国人就该拿个长跑冠军】

今晚在场的还有其他体育运动员，包括冬奥会滑雪板金牌得主杰米•安德森。我们为她骄傲，极有天赋的年轻女士，我跟米歇尔看奥运比赛时，我们简直不敢相信他们的动作。挑战生死极限的壮举啊。很久没见过谁能如此迅速地180度转身了。上次是Rand Paul拒绝那位内华达农场主出席今天的晚宴。【谷大白话注：武装对抗政府的农场主Bundy在发表种族言论后，Rand Paul等右派跟他翻脸划清界限】

一般来说，你一句话的开头要是这样说肯定会出事的：“我跟你们讲讲我对黑鬼的了解”【谷大白话注：农场主Bundy的名言】后面的话就不用听了。给大家的温馨提示哦，说话是千万别这样开头。说到Rand Paul，今年科罗拉多州将大麻合法化，有趣的社会实验，我希望这不会让很多人出现妄想，认为联邦政府要迫害他们，窃听他们的电话什么的那就麻烦了。【谷大白话注：自嘲NSA窃听门事件】

说到保守派的英雄，Koch兄弟今晚买了张台子【谷大白话注：Koch兄弟是共和党金主，石油大亨】但跟以往一样，他们用神秘的右翼组织来打掩护，福克斯新闻，你们好啊，我是开玩笑啦。【谷大白话注：吐槽福克斯新闻是右翼喉舌】承认吧福克斯新闻，我卸任后你们会想念我的，要让国人相信希拉里出生在肯尼亚可要困难的多啊【谷大白话注：出生地的梗，并暗示希拉里能拿下2016】。

2014奥巴马演讲中文全文

很多人在担忧巨额献金对政治的影响，我记得在过去“Super PAC”只是我买的万宝路100s装而不是普通装而已。【谷大白话注：超级政治行动委员会可无限捐款，pac谐音pack】 当然了，现在是2014年，华府政客满脑子都是中期选举。人们说，我的支持率如此萎靡，民主党同仁都不愿意让我为他们助选。我觉得不是这样，但我确实注意到，有天我女儿的学校“职业日”需要演讲者，结果她邀请了比尔•克林顿，这事让我有点受伤啊。

两党都竭尽全力要在这场无情的比拼中获胜，共和党——这是真事啊——共和党找来一群顾问来教导候选人，如何对女性说话，这是真事。我不知道这样对女性是否奏效，不过我发现全国的少男们都成群结队来申请竞选参议员了。【谷大白话注：调侃少男不会泡妞】

总之，在你们全心全意忙着对战时，我要去做我该做的事，我会专注于普通美国人的生活。昨天我看到一封令人心碎的信。每天我都会收到全国各地人民的来信，我会阅读10封。这一封是说弗吉尼亚男子一份兼职工作干了好多年，老板不尊重他，前途没有希望，我真希望Eric Cantor以后别再给我写信了，Eric 你直接打电话就好了啊。【谷大白话注：Eric Cantor共和党大佬，奥巴马在这里吐槽他被共和党人士抨击】

而且我也……信不信由你，为议长而感到遗憾，如今，众议院的共和党人对博纳比对我还凶残，这说明“橘色”如今真的算是“黑色”了。【吐槽博纳晒成橘色，且博纳如今被当成奥黑一样被喷】 但我还没有放弃跟国会合作的愿望。实际上两周前，Ted Cruz参议员和我合力通过了一项法案。我得说，签署仪式真是与众不同。你看，我知道，华府正处于史上最瘫痪的时期，这里的堵塞如此之严重，你不禁会想，我们到底做了什么克里斯蒂会如此生气啊？【谷大白话注：此处吐槽克里斯蒂滥用权力堵塞大桥的事件】

我们无法达成一致的问题之一是：失业保险。共和党一直反对延长这项保险。你猜怎样，我开始觉得他们有道理。如果你想又不干活又能拿钱，那你就该跟其他人一样通过竞选进入国会啊。当然了，有一件事让奥巴马医保很头疼。他们进行了50多次推翻奥氏医保的尝试。尽管如此，800万人在首轮公开申请中注册了医保。这就让人不禁要问，医保要做到多么好你们才不想废除呢？让所有人的胆固醇指标都降到120如何？体检赠送快船球票如何？不是过去斯特林的快船队啦，是奥普拉新买的快船队【谷大白话：吐槽近期斯特林的种族主义言论，而NBA联盟最近在呼吁斯特林卖掉快船队，奥巴马顺便又吐槽了下美国著名主持人奥普拉是土豪】

这样够好了吗？给Mitch McConnel来点脉搏如何？【谷大白话注释：这里奥巴马吐槽共和党大佬McConnel半死不活】要怎么样你们才满意啊？ 反正吧，今年我承诺要更多利用行政手段来绕开国会处理问题。批评者称，这是帝国主义总统，实际情况是，我只是每天到办公室上班而已。本以为，他们会喜欢更独断的做法，因为保守派的新男神是普京啊。

去年Pat Buchanan说，普京是直奔诺贝尔和平奖而去啊。【谷大白话注：Pat Buchanan是美国保守派政客】他是这么说的，我知道听起来很疯狂，不过实事是，如今和平奖是见人就给的，所以，这是可能的。不过，不只是Pat，Rudy Giuliani说普京那才叫真正的领导人呢，Mike Huckabee和Sean Hannity总提起他裸露的胸膛。【谷大白话注：三者分别是前纽约市长、08年总统候选人、福克斯名嘴】你去搜搜，他们说过很多次的，嘿嘿嘿。

想到我只剩两年半的任期，感觉很奇怪，身边的一切都在提醒，我只是临时工。不过，从现在到2016年大选期间，什么事情都有可能发生。你们可能听说了，希拉里前几天在新闻发布会上被人扔鞋。

不管会发生什么，我是已经选完最后一次了。我开始考虑自己给后人留点什么了。芝加哥市长Rahm Emanuel最近宣布要用我的名字命名一所高中【谷大白话注：Rahm曾是奥巴马幕僚长】，这事让我很受宠若惊，更让我感到开心的是Rich Perry他今晚也来了【此人是得州州长】，在得州也要这样做，瞧瞧吧，这对我来说太重要了。我打算享受我卸任后所有的自由时间，小布什卸任后开始作画，此事激励我也去发掘自己的艺术天赋，我们肯定有图片的吧，或者没有，没有幻灯片这段子就讲不了啊。哦，那好，大家就假设这段子很好笑吧。

Joel你也遇到过这样的情况吗？你也是吗？好吧，我们来说点正经的。

今晚提醒我们，我们有幸能生活在这样的国家。在我国，记者们可以每天抨击国家领导人，然后每年一次，领导人能有机会以其人之道还治其人之身。但我们也知道，并非所有的记者、摄影师或团队人员都如此幸运，因为就在今晚欢庆新闻自由的同时，我们仍然心系全球各地的新闻人，比如在乌克兰、阿富汗、叙利亚、埃及，他们奋不顾身，为了新闻报道，他们有时甚至要牺牲生命。

今晚还提醒我们，为全面而公平的采访权的战斗，不只是提问的机会而已。正如Steve所说，几十年前，黑人记者若想报道总统新闻，可能会被新闻学校开除。受到吉姆•克劳法的压迫【谷大白话注：种族隔离的法规】，还曾经被华府禁止出席新闻发布会，但是经过多年努力，黑人编辑和出版人接触，罗斯福的新闻秘书Stephen Early，之后他们跟总统本人会面，总统宣布授予黑人记者报道的权力。虽然Harry McAlpin创造历史，成为首位出席总统新闻发布会的黑人记者，但其他同行对他并不欢迎。

不过总统欢迎了他，总统告诉他“McAlpin见到你我很高兴”，“很高兴你能到这里来”，当然在Harry向他提了几个问题之后，他高兴的感觉就会消散，Harry的抗争还在继续，但他成就了历史。我们也很自豪，Sherman和家人今晚出席。

白宫记者协会以Harry的名义创立了奖学金，一百多年来，在白宫记者协会讲述美国的进步之时，你们也同样在经历着进步，逐渐给予女性、少数族裔、同性恋和残障人同等权利。是的，不论是广播、电视、还是网络记者都是一样。你们的努力确保了即便社会改变，我们对领导者和提问者之间互动的基本承诺是不会改变的。

Jay可以作证，这是你们日复一日充满激情传承下去的遗产，因为这是记者协会的百年庆典。我额外录了一段小视频来感谢大家的辛勤工作，请放视频……怎么回事啊？不是告诉我说能播的吗？！谁知道怎么修好它？

（此处插入设计桥段：前卫生部长Sebelius走上舞台帮助奥巴马解决问题，她因医保网站瘫痪备受抨击）

Sebelius说：我会弄，遇到无数次这样的故障了【谷大白话注：还是医保网站故障的梗】。奥巴马：好了，向白宫记者协会表示祝贺，希望你们能把精彩的报道再坚持一百年。非常感谢大家，上帝保佑你们。

第四篇：奥巴马总统在开斋晚宴上的讲话

奥巴马总统在开斋晚宴上的讲话.txt“恋”是个很强悍的字。它的上半部取自“变态”的“变”，下半部取自“变态”的“态”。奥巴马总统于8月13日在白宫国宴厅（State Dining Room）举行的开斋晚宴（Iftar）上指出，伊斯兰教在美国源远流长，与其他宗教一样受到尊重。以下是总统讲话全文，由美国国务院国际信息局(IIP)翻译。

白宫新闻秘书办公室

2010年8月13日

总统在开斋晚宴上的讲话

白宫国宴厅

东部夏令时晚8:37

总统：大家晚上好。欢迎光临。请就座。欢迎大家来到白宫。在这圣神的斋月里，我向你们，向全国穆斯林同胞，向全世界十亿多穆斯林表示最良好的祝愿。莱麦丹斋月吉祥。

我要欢迎各国外交使团成员、本届政府成员和国会议员，包括拉什?霍尔特(Rush Holt)、约翰?科尼尔斯（John Conyers）和两位美国穆斯林国会议员之一安德烈?卡森（Andre Carson），以及基思?埃利森（Keith Ellison）。欢迎大家。

如同举办圣诞晚会、犹太教逾越节家宴（seders）和印度教排灯节（Diwali）庆祝活动那样，我们有在白宫举办开斋晚宴的传统，这一传统已持续多年。这些活动展示了宗教信仰在美国人民生活中的作用，使我们想到这样一个基本的道理：我们都是主的子民，我们都从各自的信仰中汲取力量和生活目标。

这些活动还突出表明了我们作为美国人的特征。我国的建国先贤们懂得，在我国人民生活中尊重宗教信仰的最好方式是保护他们从事宗教活动的自由。托马斯?杰斐逊（Thomas Jefferson）在《在弗吉尼亚确立宗教自由的法案》（Virginia Act of Establishing Religious Freedom）中写道：“所有人都应能自由地表明并提出理由维护自己在宗教问题上的观点。”我国宪法的第一条修正案将宗教自由确定为国家的法律。自那时以来，我们始终维护这一权利。

在我们的历史进程中，宗教确实在我国蓬勃发展，这正是因为美国人有选择信仰的权利——包括不信教的权利。今天的美国人依然笃信宗教，证明了建国先贤们的智慧——在这个国度中，不同信仰的民族能够和平共处、互相尊重，与世界上一些地方宗教冲突持续不断的状况形成鲜明对比。

但这并不是说宗教上没有争议。最近，人们关注在某些社区建造清真寺的问题——特别是在纽约。目前，我们都必须承认和尊重与曼哈顿下城重建相关的敏感问题。“9.11”袭击对我们国家是一件创巨痛深的事件。那些失去亲人的人所经历的痛苦和磨折是难以想象的。因此，我理解这个问题所引发的情感。世贸大厦爆炸的地点确实是圣土。

但我必须申明：作为一个公民，作为总统，我认为穆斯林和我们国家的每一个其他人一样有信仰自己宗教的权利。（掌声）这包括遵照当地法律和法令，在曼哈顿下城私人土地上建造礼拜场所和社区中心的权利。这里是美国。我们对宗教自由的承诺必须坚定不移。各种信仰的人在这个国度都受欢迎、政府不会把他们区别对待，这个原则是我们的立国之本。建国先贤们的古训必须信守。

我们绝不能忘记那些我们在“9.11”事件中痛失的人们，我们必须永远纪念那些在回应袭击时冲在前面的人——从冲上浓烟滚滚的楼梯的消防队员到今天仍在阿富汗战斗的部队。让我们也不要忘记我们在与谁战斗、为何而战。我们的敌人无视宗教自由。基地组织的事业不是伊斯兰教，而是对伊斯兰教的严重歪曲。这些人不是宗教领袖——他们是残杀男人、妇女和儿童的恐怖分子。事实上，在被基地组织杀害的人口中，穆斯林的人数超过任何其他宗教的信仰者——这个受害者的名单也包括在“9.11”事件中罹难的穆斯林。

这就是我们的对手。我们将赢得这场斗争，我们的力量不仅来自军队，而且来自我们的价值观：我们所坚持的民主、我们所珍视的自由、我们所奉行的法律——不分种族、宗教、财富或社会地位。对和我们不同的人，我们不仅包容，而且尊敬——这种生活方式、这一美国的基本信条，与在9月的那个早晨攻击我们而且今天仍在图谋加害于我们的人所奉行的毁灭主义形成鲜明的对比。

我在就职演说中指出，我们百衲而成的传统是一种优势，而非劣势。我们是一个基督教徒和穆斯林、犹太教徒和印度教徒、以及无宗教信仰者组成的国家。我们受惠于地球上四面八方每一种语言和文化的影响，但这种多元化也会产生困难的辩论。这种情况并不是我们这个时代所独有的，不同的历史时期曾有过关于兴建犹太教堂或天主教堂的争议。但是，美国人民一再表明，我们能够共同解决这些问题，并始终不渝地坚持我们的核心价值观，并因此而更加强大。因此，今天也必须如此——并将必定如此。

今晚令我们想到，莱麦丹弘扬的是一种以巨大的多样性著称的信仰。莱麦丹提醒我们，伊斯兰教始终是美国的一个组成部分。两百多年前，来自突尼斯的第一位驻美国穆斯林大使受到杰斐逊总统的款待——因为是莱麦丹斋月，杰弗逊总统为他的客人安排了日落晚宴，这是有记载的第一个白宫斋月晚宴（掌声）。

像众多其他移民一样，一代代穆斯林到这里来创造他们的未来。他们成为农民和商人，在作坊和工厂里劳作。他们帮助铺设铁路，帮助建设美国。他们于1890年代在纽约市创建了第一个伊斯兰中心，在北达科他州的草原上建造了美国第一座清真寺。坐落在艾奥瓦州柏树瀑布市（Cedar Rapids）的清真寺或许是美国现存的最古老的清真寺，如今仍在使用。

今天，我们的国家因数百万美国穆斯林而更为强大，他们在各行各业都有杰出表现。美国的穆斯林社区——包括所有50个州的清真寺——也为邻里服务；担任警察、消防队员和急救人员的穆斯林保护我们的社区和人民；穆斯林神职人员明确表示反对恐怖主义和极端主义，重申伊斯兰教义教导人民珍惜生命，而非夺取生命；美国穆斯林中也不乏出色的军人。下星期在五角大楼举行的莱麦丹开斋晚宴将悼念并颂扬在伊拉克牺牲的三位战士，他们与其他英雄们一起长眠在阿灵顿国家公墓（Arlington National Cemetery）。

这些美国穆斯林战士为我们赖以生存的安全和我们所珍视的自由献出了生命，他们是美国自建国以来一个前仆后继的群体的一部分。这些具有各种不同信仰的美国人共同奉献和牺牲，使美国的承诺代代相传，并保证美国的特色得到保护——即矢志不渝地坚持我们的核心价值观，一步一个脚印地建设完美的祖国。

因为，归根结底，我们仍然是“一个在主的庇佑下不可分割的国家”，只有信守所有伟大的宗教——包括伊斯兰教——的同一准则，我们才能实现“人人享有自由和公正”的理想。这一准则就是：己所欲方施于人。

谢谢大家光临，祝大家斋月吉祥。现在我们可以开宴了。（掌声）
