美国总统每周电台演讲：华盛顿白宫奥巴马讲话1. WEEKL Y ADDRESS: Making Higher Education More Affordable for the Middle ClassWASHINGTON, DC—In his weekly address, President Obama noted that while college education has never been more important, it has also never been more exp ensive. That’s why the President proposed major new reforms to make college more affordable for middle class families and those fighting to get into the middle class. The President’s bold plan would tie federal financial aid to the value and opportunity that colleges provide students, encourage innovation and competition, and help Americans manage their existing student debt by allowing everyone to cap monthly payments at 10 percent of their discretionary income. The President acknowledged that these reform s won’t be popular with everyone – especially those who benefit from the status quo –but we have to shake up the current system because the path we’re on is simply unsustainable.Remarks of President Barack ObamaWeekly AddressThe White HouseAugust 24, 2013Hi, everybody. Over the past month, I’ve been visiting towns across America, talking about what our country needs to do to secure a better bargain for the middle class.This week, I met with high school and college students in New York and Pennsylvania to discuss the surest path to the middle class – some form of higher education.But at a moment when a higher education has never been more important, it’s als o never been more expensive. That’s why, over the past four years, we’ve helped make college more affordable for millions of students and families with grants and loans that go farther from before.But students and families and taxpayers cannot just keep subsidizing college costs that keep going up and up. Not when the average student now graduates more than $26,000 in debt.We cannot price the middle class out of a college education. That’s why I proposed major new reforms to make college more affordable and make it easier for folks to pay for their education. First, we’re going to start rating colleges based on opportunity – are they helping students from all kinds of backgrounds succeed, and on outcomes –their value to students and parents. In time, we’l l use those ratings to make sure that the colleges that keep their tuition down are the ones that will see their taxpayer funding go up.Second, we’re going to jumpstart competition between colleges over innovations that help more students graduate in less time, at less cost, while maintaining quality. A number of schools are already testing new approaches, like putting more courses online or basing course credit on competence, not just hours spent in the classroom.And third, we’re going to help more stude nts responsibly manage their debt, by making more of them eligible for a loan repayment program called Pay-As-You-Earn, which caps your loan payments at 10 percent of what you make. And we’ll reach out directly to students to make sure they know that this program exists.These reforms won’t be popular with everybody. But the path we’re on now is unsustainable for our students and our economy.Higher education shouldn’t be a luxury, or a roll of the dice; it’s an economic imperative that every family in America should be able to afford.Thanks, and have a great weekend.大家好。

奥巴马演讲（五篇范例）第一篇：奥巴马演讲美国总统周末电台演讲：华盛顿白宫奥巴马每周电台演讲WASHINGTON –In this week’s address, President Obama laid out a policy agenda that would strengthen our economy and create jobs right here in America by offering tax incentives to businesses that hire new employees, making the research and experimentation tax credit permanent and providing a tax cut for clean energy manufacturing.The President also wants to close tax loopholes worth billions of dollars that encourage companies to invest in overseas, while Republicans in the House have voted 11 times in just the last four years to keep those loopholes open.Prepared Remarks of PresidentBarack Obama Weekly Address Saturday, October 16th, 2010 After a decade of hardship for middle class families, and a recession that wiped away millions of jobs, we are in the middle of a tough fight to rebuild this economy and put folks back to work.Winning this fight will not depend on government alone.It will depend on the innovation of American entrepreneurs;on the drive of American small business owners;on the skills and talents of American workers.These are the people who will help us grow our economy and create jobs.But government still has an important responsibility.And that’s to create an environment in which someone can raise capital to start a new company;where a business can get a loan to expand;where ingenuity is prized and folks are rewarded for their hard work.That’s why I fought so hard to pass a jobs bill to cut taxes and makemore loans available for entrepreneurs.It eliminated the capital gains taxes for key investments in small businesses.Itincreased the deduction to defray the costs of starting a company.And it’s freeing up credit for folks who need it.In fact, in just the first two weeks since I signed the bill, thousands of business owners have been able to get new loans through the SBA.But we need to do more.So I’ve proposed additional steps to grow the economy and spur hiring by businesses across America.Now, one of the keys to job creation is to encourage companies to invest more in the United States.But for years, our tax code has actually given billions of dollars in tax breaks that encourage companies to create jobs and profits in other countries.I want to close these tax loopholes.Instead, I want to give every business in America a tax break so they can write off the cost of all new equipment they buy next year.That’s going to make it easier for folks to expand and hire new people.I want to make the research and experimentation tax credit permanent.Because promoting new ideas and technologies is how we’ll create jobs and retain our edge as the world’s engine of discovery and innovation.And I want to provide a tax cut for clean energy manufacturing right here in America.Because that’s how we’ll lead the world in this growing industry.These are commonsense ideas.When more things are made in America, more families make it in America;more jobs are created in America;more businesses thrive in America.But Republicans in Washington have consistently fought to keep these corporate loopholes open.Over the last four years alone, Republicans in the House voted 11 times to continue rewarding corporations that create jobs and profits overseas – a policy that costs taxpayers billions of dollars every year.That doesn’t make a lot sense.It doesn’t make sense for American w orkers, American businesses, or America’s economy.A lot of companies that do businessinternationally make an important contribution to our economy here at home.That’s a good thing.But there is no reason why our tax code should actively reward them for creating jobs overseas.Instead, we should be using our tax dollars to reward companies that create jobs and businesses within our borders.We should give tax breaks to American small businesses and manufacturers.We should reward the people who are helping us lead in the industries of the future, like clean energy.That’s how we’ll ensure that American innovation and ingenuity are what drive the nextcentury.That’s how we’ll put our people back to work and lead the global economy.And that’s what I’ll be fighting for in the coming months.Thank you.第二篇：奥巴马2009、2013演讲奥巴马就职演说(2009)各位同胞：今天我站在这里，为眼前的重责大任感到谦卑，对各位的信任心怀感激，对先贤的牺牲铭记在心。

Now, the special interests want to take Congress back, and return to the days when lobbyists wrote the laws. And a partisan minority in Congress is hoping their defense of these special interests and the status quo will be rewarded with a flood of negative ads against their opponents. It’s a power grab, pure and simple. They’re hoping they can ride this wave of unchecked influence all the way to victory.
很明显，国会有责任去解决这个问题。但事实是，任何的法律都不能阻止这个问题对这个选举造成的危害。这就是为什么，你一看到攻击性广告你就必须想想谁为这个广告付钱，是健康保险公司么？是石油工业么？是信用卡公司么？
But more than that, you can make sure that the tens of millions of dollars spent on misleading ads do not drown out your voice. Because no matter how many ads they run – no matter how many elections they try to buy – the power to determine the fate of this country doesn’t lie in their hands. It lies in yours. It’s up to all of us to defend that most basic American principle of a government of, by, and for the people. What’s at stake is not just an election. It’s our democracy itself. 但不仅仅是这些，你可以确定有数以千万计的美元被花在误导性的不代表你的真正声音的广告宣传。但不管他们打多少广告，不管他们想买多少次选举，但真正决定我们国家命运的不在他们手上，而在你的手上。保护美国人最根本的政府组成和代表性的利益时全民的责任和义务。现在处在危险之中的不是选举，而是我们的民主权力！

美国总统每周电台演讲：华盛顿白宫奥巴马讲话WEEKLY ADDRESS: Congress Must Act Now toPass a Budget andRaise the Debt CeilingWASHINGTON, DC— In his weekly address, President Obama said that the economy is makingprogress five years after the worst recession since the Great Depression, but to avoid anothercrisis, Congress must meet two deadlines in the coming weeks: pass a budget by the end of themonth to keep the government open, and raise the debt ceiling so America can pay its bills.Congress should vote to do these now, so that we can keep creating new jobs and expandingopportunity for the middle class.Remarks of President Barack ObamaWeekly AddressThe White HouseSeptember 21, 2013Weekly AddressHi, everybody. It was five years ago this week that a financial crisis on Wall Street spread to MainStreet, and very nearly turned a recession into a depression.In a matter of months, millions of Americans were robbed of their jobs, their homes, their savings –after a decade in which they’d already been working harder and harder to just get by.It was a crisis from which we’re still trying to recover. But thanks to the grit and determination ofthe American people, we are steadily recovering.Over the past three and a half years, our businesses have created seven and a half million newjobs. Our housing market is healing. We’ve become less dependent on foreign oil. Health carecosts are growing at the slowest rate in 50 years. And in just over a week, millions of Americanswithout health care will be able to get covered for less than $100 a month.So our economy is gaining traction. And we’re finally tackling threats to middle-class prosperity thatWashington neglected for far too long. But as any middle-class family listening right now knows,we’ve got a long way to go to get to where we need to be. And after five years spent digging outof crisis, the last thing we need is for Washington to manufacture another.But that’s what will happen in the next few weeks if Congress doesn’t meet two deadlines.First: the most basic Constitutional duty Congress has is passing a budget. But if it doesn’t passone before September 30th – a week from Monday – the government will shut down. And so willmany services the American people expect. Military personnel, including those deployed overseas,won’t get their paychecks on time. Federal loans for rural communities, small business owners, andnew home buyers will be frozen. Critical research into life-saving discoveries and renewable energywill be immediately halted. All of this will be prevented if Congress just passes a budget.Second: Congress must authorize the Treasury to pay America’s bills. This is done with a simple,usually routine vote to raise what’s called the debt ceiling. Since the 1950s, Congress has alwayspassed it, and every President has signed it –Democrats and Republicans, including PresidentReagan. And if this Congress doesn’t do it within the next few weeks, the United States will defaulton its obligations and put our entire economy at risk.This is important: raising the debt ceiling is not the same as approving more spending. It lets uspay for what Congress already spent. It doesn’t cost a dime, or add a penny to our deficit. Infact, right now, our deficits are already falling at the fastest rate since the end of World War II. Andby the end of this year, we’ll have cut our deficits by more than half since I took office.But reducing our deficits and debt isn’t even what the current standoff in Congress is about.Now, Democrats and some reasonable Republicans are willing to raise the debt ceiling and pass asensible budget – one that cuts spending on what we don’t need so we can invest in what we do. And I want to work with those Democrats and Republicans on a better bargain for the middle class.But there’s also a faction on the far right of the Republican party who’ve convinced their leadershipto threaten a government shutdown if they can’t shut off the Affordable Care Act. Some areactually willing to plunge America into default if they can’t defund the Affordable Care Act.Think about that. They’d actually plunge this country back into recession – all to deny the basicsecurity of health care to millions of Americans.Well, that’s not happening. And they know it’s not happening.The United States of America is not a deadbeat nation. We are a compassionate nation. We arethe world’s bedrock investment. And doing anything to threaten that is the height ofirresponsibility. That’s why I will not negotiate over the full faith and credit of the United States. Iwill not allow anyone to harm this country’s reputation, or threaten to inflict economic pain onmillions of our own people, just to make an ideological point. So, we are running out of time to fix this. But we could fix it tomorrow. Both houses of Congresscan take a simple vote to pay our bills on time, then work together to pass a budget on time.Then we can declare an end to governing by crisis and govern responsibly, by putting our focusback where it should always be – on creating new jobs, growing our economy, and expandingopportunity not just for ourselves, but for future generations.Thank you.。

Hello everyone. I’m speaking to you from the GM auto plant here in Detroit, Michigan, where a hopeful story is unfolding in a place that’s been one of the hardest hit in America.大家好。
我说你从通用汽车厂在底特律，密歇根州，那里是一个充满希望的故事，在这一个地方开展了这里的重灾区美国。
In the twelve months before I took office, American auto companies lost hundreds of thousands of jobs. Sales plunged 40percent. Liquidation was a very real possibility. Years of papering over tough problems and failing to adapt to changing times – combined with a vicious economic crisis –brought an industry that’s been the symbol of our manufacturing might for a century to the brink of collapse.在十二个月前我上任时，美国汽车公司失去了成千上万的就业机会。
销量下降百分之四十。
清算是一个非常现实的可能性。
强硬的掩盖了问题，并未能适应不断变化的时代一年- 与经济危机的恶性结合- 带来了这一直是我们的制造业的象征业可能为一到了崩溃的边缘世纪。
We didn’t have many good options.On one hand, we could have continued the practice of handing out billions of taxpayer dollars to the auto industry with no real strings attached. On the other hand, we could have walked away and allowed two major auto companies to go out of business – which could have wiped out one million American jobs.我们并没有太多的好选择。

标题美国总统周末电台演讲：华盛顿白宫奥巴马每周电台演讲正文第一篇：美国总统周末电台演讲：华盛顿白宫奥巴马每周电台演讲美国总统周末电台演讲：华盛顿白宫奥巴马每周电台演讲 WASHINGTON—In this week’s address, President Obama told the American people that the Senate will vote on the American Jobs Act next week, which independent economists have said will put Americans back to work, grow the economy, and give working people and small businesses a tax break. It is time for those who oppose the jobs act to explain why they are fighting against something that we know will improve the American economy, put teachers in classrooms, cops on the streets, and construction workers back to work rebuilding our roads and bridges. President Obama urged all Americans who support the American Jobs Act to call their Senators and tell them to put a stop to the gridlock in Washington and pass the jobs act next week. Prepared Remarks of President Barack Obama Weekly Address Saturday, October 8 , 2011 Next week, the Senate will vote on the American Jobs Act. It’s a bill that will put more people to work and put more money in the pockets of working Americans. And it will provide our economy with the jolt that it really needs right now This is not the time for the usual games or political gridlock in Washington. The challenges facing financial markets around the world could have very real effects on our own economy at a time when it’s already fragile. But this jobs bill can help guard against another downturn here in America. This isn’t just my belief. This is what independent economists have said. Not just politicians. Not just people in my administration. Independent experts who do this for a living have said that this jobs bill will havea significant effect for our economy and middle-class families all across America. But if we don’t act, the opp osite will be true – there will be fewer jobs and weaker growth. So any Senator out there who’s thinking about voting against this jobs bill needs to explain why they would oppose something that we know would improve our economic situation. If the Republicans in Congress think they have a better plan for creating jobs right now, they should prove it. Because one of the same independent economists who looked at our plan just said that their ideas, quote, wouldn’t ―mean much for the economy in the near ter m.‖ If their plan doesn’t measure up, the American people deserve to know what it is that Republicans in Congress don’t like about this jobs plan. You hear a lot of our Republican friends say that one of the most important things we can do is cut taxes. Well, they should love this plan. The American Jobs Act would cut taxes for virtually every worker and small business in America. And if you’re a small business owner that hires new workers, raises wages, or hires a veteran, you get an additional tax cut. Right now, hundreds of thousands of teachers and firefighters and police officers have been laid off because of state budget cuts. This jobs bill will put a lot of these men and women back to work. Right now, there are millions of laid-offconstruction workers who could be repairing our bridges and roads and modernizing our schools. Why wouldn’t we want to put these men and women to work rebuilding America? The proposals in this bill are steps we have to take if we want to build an economy that lasts; if we want to be able to compete with other countries for jobs that restore a sense of security for the middle-class. But we also have to rein in our deficit and start living within our means, which is why this jobs bill is paid for by asking millionaires and billionaires to pay their fair share. Some see this as class warfare. I see it as a simple choice. We can either keep taxes exactly as they are for millionaires and billionaires, or we can ask them to pay at least the same rate as a plumber or a bus driver. And in the process, we can put teachers and construction workers and veterans back on the job. We can either fight to protect their tax cuts, or we can cut taxes for virtually every worker and small business in America. But we can’t afford to do both. It’s that simple. There are too many people hurting in this country for us to simply do nothing. The economy is too fragile for us to let politics get in the way of action. The people who represent you in Washington have a responsibility to d o what’s best for you –not what’s best for their party or what’s going to help them win an election that’s more than a year away. So I need you to keep making your voices heard in Washington. I need you to remind these folks who they work for. And I need you to tell your Senators to do the right thing by passing this jobs bill right away. Thanks so much. 第二篇：美国总统周末电台演讲：华盛顿白宫奥巴马每周电台演讲009美国总统周末电台演讲：华盛顿白宫奥巴马每周电台演讲 WASHINGTON –In this week’s address, President Obama said that he expects Democratic and Republican leaders in Congress to find common ground as Congress focuses on a short term budget next week. The President will consider any serious ideas to reduce the deficit, regardless of which party proposes them. In fact, the President has already proposed freezing domestic spending, which would cut the deficit by $400 billion and bring this kind of spending to the lowest level, as a percentage of our economy, since the Eisenhower administration. But, cutting investments in education and innovation would hinder our ability to out-compete the rest of the world. While the President recognizes that everyone needs to be willing to sacrifice, we cannot sacrifice our country’s ability to win the future.Prepared Remarks of President Barack Obama Weekly Address Saturday, February 26, 2011 Over the last month, I’ve been traveling the country, talking to Americans about how we can out-educate, out-innovate, and out-build the rest of the world. Doing that will require a government that lives within its means, and cuts whatever spending we can afford to do without. But it will also require investing in our nation’s future – training and educating our workers; increasing our commitment to research and technology; building new roads and bridges, high-speed rail and high-speed internet. In cities and townsthroughout America, I’ve seen the benefits of these investments. The schools and colleges of Oregon are providing Intel –the state’s largest private employer – with a steady stream of highly-educated workers and engineers. At Parkville Middle School outside of Baltimore, engineering is the most popular subject, thanks to outstanding teachers who are inspiring students to focus on their math and science skills. In Wisconsin, a company called Orion is putting hundreds of people to work manufacturing energy-efficient lights in a once-shuttered plant. And in the small community of Marquette, in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, widely accessible high-speed internet has allowed students and entrepreneurs to connect to the global economy. In fact one small business, a third-generation, family-owned clothing shop called Getz’s is now selling their products online, which has helped them to double their workforce and make them one of America’s 5,000 fastest-growing companies in a recent listing. Each of these places reminds us that investments in education, innovation, and infrastructure are an essential down payment on our future. But they also remind us that the only way we can afford these investments is by getting our fiscal house in order. Just like any family, we have to live within our means to make room for the things we absolutely need. That’s why I’ve called for a freeze on annual domestic spending over the next five years – a freeze that would cut the deficit by more than $400 billion over the next decade, bringing this kind of spending to its lowest share of our economy since Dwight Eisenhower was President. Just to be clear, that’s lower than it was under the past three administrations, and lower than it was under Ronald Reagan. Now, putting this budget freeze in place will require tough choices. That’s why I’ve frozen salaries for hardworking civil servants for three years, and proposed cutting programs I care deeply about, like community action programs in low-income neighbor hoods. I’m not taking these steps lightly –but I’m taking them because our economic future demands it. Still, a freeze in annual domestic spending is just a start. If we’re serious about tackling our long-run fiscal challenges, we also need to cut excessive spending wherever we find it – in defense spending, spending in Medicare and Medicaid, and spending through tax breaks and loopholes. I’m willing to consider any serious ideas to help us reduce the deficit –no matter what party is proposing them. But instead of cutting the investments in education and innovation we need to out-compete the rest of the world, we need a balanced approach to deficit reduction. We all need to be willing to sacrifice, but we can’t sacrifice our future. Next week, Congress will focus on a short-term budget. For the sake of our people and our economy, we cannot allow gridlock to prevail. Both Democratic and Republican leaders in the House and Senate have said they believe it’s important to keep the government running while we work together on a plan to reduce our long-term deficit. Given that, I urge and expect them to find common ground so we can accelerate, and not impede,economic growth. It won’t be easy. There will be plenty of debates and disagreements, and neither party will get everything it wants. Both sides will have to compromise. That’s what it will take to do what’s right for our country. And I look forward to working with members of both parties to produce a responsible budget that cuts what we can’t afford, sharp ens America’s competitive edge in the world, and helps us win the future. Thanks everybody, and have a great weekend. 第三篇：美国总统奥巴马每周电台演讲09美国总统奥巴马每周电台演讲09.19 Remarks of President Barack Obama As prepared for delivery Saturday, September 18, 2010 Washington, DC Back in January, in my State of the Union Address, I warned of the danger posed by a Supreme Court ruling called Citizens United. This decision overturned decades of law and precedent. It gave the special interests the power to spend without limit – and without public disclosure – to run ads in order to influence elections. Now, as an election approaches, it’s not just a theory. We can see for ourselves how destructive to our democracy this can become. We see it in the flood of deceptive attack ads sponsored by special interests using front groups with misleading names. We don’t know who’s behind these ads or who’s paying for them. Even foreign-controlled corporations seeking to influence our democracy are able to spend freely in order to swing an election toward a candidate they prefer. We’ve tried to fix this with a new law –one that would simply require that you say who you are and who’s paying for your ad. This way, voters are able to make an informed judgment about a group’s motivations. Anyone running these ads would have to stand by their claims. And foreign-controlled corporations would be restricted from spending money to influence elections, just as they were before the Supreme Court opened up this loophole. This is common sense. In fact, this is the kind of proposal that Democrats and Republicans have agreed on for decades. Yet, the Republican leaders in Congress have so far said “no.” They’ve blocked this bill from even coming up for a vote in the Senate. It’s politics at its worst. But it’s not hard to understand why. Over the past two years, we have fought back against the entrenched special interests – weakening their hold on the levers of power in Washington. We have taken a stand against the worst abuses of the financial industry and h ealth insurance companies. We’ve rolled back tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas. And we’ve restored enforcement of common sense rules to protect clean air and clean water. We have refused to go along with business as usual. Now, the special interests want to take Congress back, and return to the days when lobbyists wrote the laws. And a partisan minority in Congress is hoping their defense of these special interests and the status quo will be rewarded with a flood of negative ads against the ir opponents. It’s a power grab, pure and simple. They’re hoping they can ride this wave of unchecked influence all the way to victory. What is clear is that Congress has a responsibility to act. But the truth is,any law will come too late to prevent the damage that has already been done this election season. That is why, any time you see an attack ad by one of these shadowy groups, you should ask yourself, who is paying for this ad? Is it the health insurance lobby? The oil industry? The credit card companies? But more than that, you can make sure that the tens of millions of dollars spent on misleading ads do not drown out your voice. Because no matter how many ads they run – no matter how many elections they try to buy – the power to determine the fa te of this country doesn’t lie in their hands. It lies in yours. It’s up to all of us to defend that most basic American principle of a government of, by, and for the people. What’s at stake is not just an election. It’s our democracy itself. Thank you. 第四篇：美国总统奥巴马每周电台演讲02.2Remarks of President Barack Obama Weekly Address February 20, 2010 The other week, men and women across California opened up their mailboxes to find a letter from Anthem Blue Cross. The news inside was jaw-dropping. Anthem was alerting almost a million of its customers that it would be raising premiums by an average of 25 percent, with about a quarter of folks likely to see their rates go up by anywhere from 35 to 39 percent. Now, after their announcement stirred public outcry, Anthem agreed to delay their rate hike until May 1st while the situation is reviewed by the state of California. But it’s not just Californians who are being hit by rate hikes. In Kansas, one insurance company raised premiums by 10 to 20 percent only after asking to raise them by 20 to 30 percent. Last year, Michigan Blue Cross Blue Shield raised rates by 22 percent after asking to raise them by up to 56 percent. And in Maine, Anthem is asking to raise rates for some folks by about 23 percent. The bottom line is that the status quo is good for the insurance industry and bad for America. Over the past year, as families and small business owners have struggled to pay soaring health care costs, and as millions of Americans lost their coverage, the five largest insurers made record profits of over $12 billion. And as bad as things are today, they’ll only get worse if we fail to act. We’ll see more and more Americans go without the coverage they need. We’ll see exploding premiums and out-of-pocket costs burn through more and more family budgets. We’ll see more and more small businesses scale back benefits, drop coverage, or close down because they can’t keep up with rising rates. And in time, we’ll see these skyrocketing health care costs become the single largest driver of our federal deficits. That’s what the future is on track to look like. But it’s not what the future has to look like. The question, then, is whether we will do what it takes, all of us –Democrats and Republicans –to build a better future for ourselves, our children, and our country. That’s why, next week, I am inviting members of both parties to take part in a bipartisan health care meeting, and I hope they come in a spirit of good faith. I don’t want to see this meeting turn into political theater, with each side simply reciting talking points and trying to score political points. Instead, Iask members of both parties to seek common ground in an effort to solve a problem that’s been with us for generations. It’s in that spirit that I have sought out and supported Republican ideas on reform from the very beginning. Some Republicans want to allow Americans to purchase insurance from a company in another state to give people more choices and bring down costs. Some Republicans have also suggested giving small businesses the power to pool together and offer health care at lower prices, just as big companies and labor unions do. I think both of these are good ideas – so long as we pursue them in a way that protects benefits, protects patients, and protects the American people. I hope Democrats and Republicans can come together next week around these and other ideas. To members of Congress, I would simply say this. We know the American people want us to reform our health insurance system. We know where the broad areas of agreement are. And we know where the sources of disagreement lie. After debating this issue exhaustively for a year, let’s move forward together. Next week is our chance to finally reform our health insurance system so it works for families and s mall businesses. It’s our chance to finally give Americans the peace of mind of knowing that they’ll be able to have affordable coverage when they need it most. What’s being tested here is not just our ability to solve this one problem, but our ability to solve any problem. Right now, Americans are understandably despairing about whether partisanship and the undue influence of special interests in Washington will make it impossible for us to deal with the big challenges that face our country. They want to see us focus not on scoring points, but on solving problems; not on the next election but on the next generation. That is what we can do, and that is what we must do when we come together for this bipartisan health care meeting next week. Thank you, and have a great weekend. 第五篇：美国总统奥巴马每周电台演讲09.10Remarks of President Barack Obama Weekly Address The White House Saturday September 10, 2011 This weekend, we’re coming together, as one nation, to mark the 10th anniversary of the September 11th attacks. We’re remembering the lives we lost—nearly 3,000 innocent men, women and children. We’re reaffirming our commitment to always keep faith with their families. We’re honoring the heroism of first responders who risked their lives—and gave their lives—to save othe rs. And we’re giving thanks to all who serve on our behalf, especially our troops and military families—our extraordinary 9/11 Generation. At the same time, even as we reflect on a difficult decade, we must look forward, to the future we will build together. That includes staying strong and confident in the face of any threat. And thanks to the tireless efforts of our military personnel and our intelligence, law enforcement and homeland security professionals—there should be no doubt. Today, America is stronger and al Qaeda is on the path to defeat. We’ve taken the fight to al Qaeda like never before. Over the past two and a half years, more senior al Qaedaleaders have been eliminated than at any time since 9/11. And thanks to the remarkable courage and precision of our forces, we finally delivered justice to Osama bin Laden. We’ve strengthened the partnerships and tools we need to prevail in this war against al Qaeda—working closer with allies and partners; reforming intelligence to better detect and disrupt plots; investing in our Special Forces so terrorists have no safe haven. We’re constantly working to improve the security of our homeland as well—at our airports, ports and borders; enhancing aviation security and screening; increasing support for our first responders; and working closer than ever with states, cities and communities. A decade after 9/11, it’s clear for all the world to see—the terrorists who attacked us that September morning are no match for the character of our people, the resilience of our nation, or the endurance of our values. They wanted to terrorize us, but, as Americans, we refuse to live in fear. Yes we face a determined foe, and make no mistake—they will keep trying to hit us again. But as we are showing again this weekend, we remain vigilant. We’re doing everything in our power to protect our people. And no matter what comes our way, as a resilient nation, we will carry on. They wanted to draw us in to endless wars, sapping our strength and confidence as a nation. But even as we put relentless pressure on al Qaeda, we’re ending the war in Iraq and beginning to bring our troops home from Afghanistan. Because after a hard decade of war, it is time for nation building here at home. They wanted to deprive us of the unity that defines us as a people. But we will not succumb to division or suspicion. We are Americans, and we are stronger and safer when we stay true to the values, freedoms and diversity that make us unique among nations. And they wanted to undermine our place in the world. But a decade later, we’ve shown that America doesn’t hunker down and hide behind walls of mistrust. We’ve forged new partnerships with nations around the world to meet the global challenges that no nation can face alone. And across the Middle East and North Africa a new generation of citizens is showing that the future belongs to those that want to build, not destroy. Ten years ago, ordinary Americans showed us the true meaning of courage when they rushed up those stairwells, into those flames, into that cockpit. In the decade since, a new generation has stepped forward to serve and keep us safe. In their memory, in their name, we will never waver. We will protect the country we love and pass it safer, stronger and more prosperous to the next generation.。
美国总统奥巴马每周电台演讲
美国总统奥巴马每周电台演讲08.07Remarks of President Barack ObamaWeekly AddressSaturday, August 6, 2011Washington, DCThis week, Congress reached an agreement that’s going to allow us to make some progress in reducing our nation’s budget deficit.And through this compromise, both parties are going to have to work together on a larger plan to get our nation’s finances in order. That’s important. We’ve got to make sure that Washington lives within its means, just like families do. In the long term, the health of our economy depends on it.But in the short term, our urgent mission has to be getting this economy growing faster and creating jobs. That’s what’s on people’s minds; that’s what matters to families in this country. And the fact is, this has been a tumultuous year for the economy. We’ve weathered the Arab Spring’s effect on oil and gas prices.The Japanese earthquake and tsunami’s effect on supply chains.The economic situation in Europe. And in Washington, there was a contentious debate over our natio n’s budget that nearly dragged our country into financial crisis.So our job right now has to be doing whatever we can to help folks find work; to help create the climate where a business can put up that job listing; where incomes are rising again for people. We’ve got to rebuild this economy and the sense of security that middle class has felt slipping away for years. And while deficit reduction has to be part of our economic strategy, it’s not the only thing we have to do.We need Democrats and Republicans to work together to help grow thiseconomy. We’ve got to put politics aside to get some things done.That’s what theAmerican people expect of us. And there are a number of steps that Congress can take right away, when they return in September.We need to extend tax cuts for working and middle class families so you have more money in your paychecks next year. That would help millions of people to make ends meet. And that extra money for expenses means businesses will have more customers, and will be in a better position to hire.Yesterday, I proposed a new tax credit for companies that hire veterans who are looking for work after serving their country. We’ve got a lot of honorable and skilled people returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, and companies that could benefit from their abilities. Let’s put them together.We need to make sure that millions of workers who are still pounding the pavement looking for jobs are not denied unemployment benefits to carry them through hard times.We’ve got to cut the red tape that stops too many inventors and entrepreneurs from quickly turning new ideas into thriving businesses – which holds back our whole economy.It’s time Congress finally passed a set of trade deals that would help displaced w orkers looking for new jobs, and that would allow our businesses to sell more products in countries in Asia and South America – products stamped with three words: Made in America.And we ought to give more opportunities to all those construction workers who lost their jobs when the housing boom went bust. We could put them to work right now, by giving loans to companies that want to repair our roads and bridges and airports, helping to rebuild America.Those are a few commonsense steps that would help the economy. And these are ideas that have been supported by both Democrats and Republicans in the past. So I’m going to keep calling on both parties in Congress to put aside their differences and send these bills to my desk so I can sign them right away. After all, both parties share power. Both parties share responsibility for our progress. Moving our economy and our country forward is not a Democratic or a Republican responsibility; it is our responsibility as Americans.That’s the spirit we need in Washington right now. That’s how we’ll get this economy growing faster and reach a brighter day.Thanks for listening, and have a great weekend.美国总统奥巴马每周电台演讲07.31Remarks of President Barack ObamaWeekly AddressSaturday, July 30, 2011Washington, DCToday, I’d like to speak with you about the ongoing and urgent efforts to avoid a first-ever default and get our fiscal house in order.Republicans in the House of Representatives just spent precious days trying to pass a plan that a majority of Republica ns and Democrats in the Senate had already said they wouldn’t vote for. It’s a plan that wouldn’t solve our fiscal problems, but would force us to re-live this crisis in just a few short months. It would hold our economy captive to Washington politics on ce again. If anything, the past few weeks have demonstrated that’s unacceptable.Any solution to avoid default must be bipartisan. It must have the support of both parties that were sent here to represent the American people – not just one faction of one party. There are multiple ways to resolve this problem. Congress must find common ground on a plan that can get support from both parties in the House. And it’s got to be a plan that I can sign by Tuesday.Look, the parties are not that far apart h ere. We’re in rough agreement on how much spending we need to cut to reduce our deficit. We agree on a process to tackle tax reform and entitlement reform. There are plenty of ways out of this mess. But there is very little time.We need to reach a compromise by Tuesday so that our country will have the ability to pay its bills on time –bills like Social Security checks, veterans’ benefits, and contracts we’ve signed with thousands of American businesses. If we don’t, for the first time ever, wecou ld lose our country’s Triple A credit rating. Not because we didn’t have the capacity to pay our bills – we do –but because we didn’t have a Triple A political system to match it. And make no mistake – for those who reflexively oppose tax increases on anyone, a lower credit rating would be a tax increase on everyone –we’d pay higher interest rates on mortgages, car loans, and credit cards.That would be inexcusable, and entirely self-inflicted by Washington. The power to solve this is in our hands. All that’s needed is a simple vote that Democrats and Republicans have taken for decades, including all of the leaders in Congress today. It was done 18 times under President Reagan. 7 times under George W. Bush. And it must be done again now. It’s not a vote that allows Congress to spend more money. Raising the debt ceiling simply gives our country the ability to pay the bills Congress has already racked up. It gives the United States of America the ability to keep its word. And it will let businesses and our economy breathe a sigh of relief.On Monday night, I asked you to make your voice heard in this debate. And the response was overwhelming. One of the emails we received was from a woman named Kelly Smith, who wanted to send this message to Washington:“I keep my home clean, work hard at a full time job, give my parents any monies I can so they can afford their medications, I pay my bills and by all appearances I am a responsible person. All I’m asking is that you be responsible. I have my house in order and all I’m asking is that you get yours the same way.”Here in Washington, we need to get our house in order. And I have to say, Democrats in Congress and some Senate Republicans have been listening and have shown themselves willing to make compromises to solve this crisis. Now all of us – including Republicans in the House of Representatives – need to demonstrate the same kind of responsibility that the American people show every day. The time for putting party first is over. The time for compromise on behalf of the American people is now. Thank you.美国总统奥巴马每周电台演讲07.24Remarks of President Barack ObamaWeekly AddressSaturday, July 23, 2011Washington, DCFor years, the government has spent more money than it takes in. The result is a lot of debt on our nation’s credit card – debt that unless we act will weaken our economy, cause higher interest rates for families, and force us to scale back things like education and Medicare.Now, folks in Washington like to blame one another for this problem. But the truth is, neither party is blameless. And both parties have a responsibility to do something about it. Every day, families are figuring out how stretch their paychecks – struggling to cut what they can’t afford so they can pay for what’s really important. It’s time for Washington to do the same thing. But for that to happen, it means that Democrats and Republicans have to work together. It means we need to put aside our differences to do what’s right for the country. Everyone is going to have to be willing to compromise. Otherwise, we’ll never get anything done.That’s why we need a balanced approach to cuttin g the deficit. We need an approach that goes after waste in the budget and gets rid of pet projects that cost billions of dollars. We need an approach that makes some serious cuts to worthy programs –cuts I wouldn’t make under normal circumstances. And we need an approach that asks everybody to do their part.So that means, yes, we have to make serious budget cuts; but that it’s not right to ask middle class families to pay more for college before we ask the biggest corporations to pay their fair share of taxes. It means that before we stop funding clean energy, we should ask oil companies and corporate jet owners to give up the tax breaks that other companies don’tget. Before we cut medical research, we should ask hedge fund managers to stop paying taxes at a lower rate than their secretaries. Before we ask seniors to pay more for Medicare, we should ask the wealthiest taxpayers to give up tax breaks we simply cannot afford under these circumstances.That’s the heart of this approach: serious cuts, balanced by some new revenues. And it’s been the position of every Democratic and Republican leader who has worked to reduce the deficit, from Bill Clinton to Ronald Reagan. In fact, earlier this week, one of the most conservative members of the Senate, Tom Coburn, announced his support for a balanced, bipartisan plan that shows promise. And then a funny thing happened. He received a round of applause –from a group of Republican and Democratic senators. That’s a rare event in Washington.So there will be plenty of haggling over the details in the days ahead. But this debate boils down to a simple choice. We can come together for the good of the country and reach a compromise; we can strengthen our economy and leave for our children a more secure future. Or we can issue insults and demands and ultimatums at each another, withdraw to our partisan corners, and achieve nothing. Well, we know the right thing to do. And we know what the American people expect us to do.美国总统奥巴马每周电台演讲07.17Remarks of President Barack ObamaWeekly AddressThe White HouseJuly 16, 2011Today, there’s a debate going on in Washington over the best way to get America’s fiscal house in order and get our economy on a stronger footing going forward.For a decade, America ha s been spending more money than we’ve taken in. For several decades, our debt has been rising. And let’s be honest – neither party in this town is blameless. Both have talked this problem to death without doing enough about it. That’s what drives people nuts about Washington. Too often, it’s a place more concerned with playing politics and serving special interests than resolving real problems or focusing on what you’re facing in your own lives.But right now, we have a responsibility – and an opportunity – to reduce our deficit as much as possible and solve this problem in a real and comprehensive way.Simply put, it will take a balanced approach, shared sacrifice, and a willingness to make unpopular choices on all our parts. That means spending less on domestic programs. It means spending less on defense programs. It means reforming programs like Medicare to reduce costs and strengthen the program for future generations. And it means taking on the tax code, and cutting out certain tax breaks and deductions for the wealthiest Americans.Now, some of these things don’t make folks in my party too happy. And I wouldn’t agree to some of these cuts if we were in a better fiscal situation, but we’re not. That’s why I’m willing to compromise. I’m willing to do what it takes to solve this problem, even if it’s not politically popular. And I expect leaders in Congress to show that same willingness to compromise.The truth is, you can’t solve our deficit without cutting spending. But you also can’t solve it without asking the wealthiest Americans to pay their fair share – or without taking on loopholes that give special interests and big corporations tax breaks that middle-class Americans don’t get.It’s pretty simple. I don’t think oil companies should keep getting special tax breaks when they’re making tens of billions in profits. I don’t think hedge fund managers should pay taxes at a lower rate than their secretaries. I don’t think it’s fair to ask nothing of someone like me when the average family has seen their income decline over the past decade – and when many of you are just trying to stretch every dollar as far it it’ll go.We shouldn’t put the burden of deficit reduction on the backs of folks who’ve already borne the brunt of the reces sion. It’s not reasonable and it’s not right. If we’re going to ask seniors, or students, or middle-class Americans to sacrifice, then we have to ask corporations and the wealthiest Americans to share in that sacrifice. We have to ask everyone to play their part. Because we are all part of the same country. We are all in this together.So I’ve put things on the table that are important to me and to Democrats, and I expect Republican leaders to do the same. After all, we’ve worked together like that b efore. Ronald Reagan worked with Tip O’Neill and Democrats to cut spending, raise revenues, and reform Social Security. Bill Clinton worked with Newt Gingrich and Republicans to balance the budget and create surpluses. Nobody ever got everything they wanted. But they worked together. And they moved this country forward.That kind of cooperation should be the least you expect from us – not the most you expect from us. You work hard, you do what’s right, and you expect leaders who do the same. You sent us to Washington to do the tough things. The right things. Not just for some of us, but for all of us. Not just what’s enough to get through the next election –but what’s right for the next generation.You expect us to get this right. To put America back on firm economic ground. To forge a healthy, growing economy. To create new jobs and rebuild the lives of the middle class. And that’s what I’m committed to doing.Thank you.美国总统奥巴马每周电台演讲07.10Remarks of President Barack ObamaWeekly AddressJuly 9, 2011Washington, DCEarlier this week, we did something that’s never been done here at the White House – we had a Twitter Town Hall. I even sent my first live tweet as President. The questions at the town hall were sent in from across the country and covered all kinds of topics – from jobs and the economy to education and energy.Lots of people also submitted different versions of another question. They’d start by saying that our politics has grown so contentious. Then they’d ask, When will both parties in Congress come together on behalf of the people who elected them?That’s a really important question, and it goes to the heart of a debate we’re having right now in this country –and that’s the debate about how to tackle the problem of our deficits and our debt.Now, there are obviously real differences in approach. I believe we need a balanced approach. That means taking on spending in our domestic programs and our defense programs. It means addressing the challenges in programs like Medicare so we can strengthen those programs and protect them for future generations. And it means taking on spending in the tax code – spending on tax breaks and deductions for the wealthiest Americans.But I also know that Republicans and Democrats don’t s ee eye to eye on a number of issues. And so, we’re going to continue working over the weekend to bridge those gaps.The good news is, we agree on some of the big things. We agree that after a decade of racking up deficits and debt, we finally need to get our fiscal house in order. We agree that to do that, both sides are going to have to step outside their comfort zones and make some political sacrifices. And we agree that we simply cannot afford to default on our national obligations for the first time in our history; that we need to uphold the full faith and credit of the United States of AmericaWith a recovery that’s still fragile and isn’t producing all the jobs we need, the last thing we can afford is the usual partisan game-playing in Washington. By getting our fiscal house in order, Congress will be in a stronger position to focus on some of the job-creating measures I’ve already proposed –like putting people to work rebuilding America’s infrastructure, or reforming our patent system so that our innovators and entrepreneurs have a greater incentive to generate new products, or making college more affordable for families. And businesses that may be holding back because of the uncertainty surrounding the possibility of a default by the U.S. government will have greater confidence to invest and create jobs.I know we can do this. We can meet our fiscal challenge. That’s what the American people sent us here to do. They didn’t send us here to kick our problems down the road. That’s exactly what they d on’t like about Washington. They sent us here to work together. They sent us here to get things done.Right now, we have an extraordinary – and extraordinarily rare – opportunity to move forward in a way that makes sure our government lives within its means, that puts our economy on a sounder footing for the future, and that still invests in the things we need to prosper in the years to come. And I’m hopeful that we will rise to the moment, and seize this opportunity, on behalf of all Americans, and the future we hold in common. Thanks everyone, and have a great weekend.美国总统奥巴马每周电台演讲07.03Remarks of President Barack ObamaWeekly AddressSaturday, July 2, 2011Washington, DCRight now, there are a lot of folks who are still struggling with the effects of the recession. They’re wondering how they’d deal with an unexpected expense if their car breaks down.They’re worried about layoffs. They’re not sure if they can help their kids pay for college. And for many families, these challenges were around long before the recession hit in 2007.I ran for President because I believed in an America where ordinary folks could get ahead; where if you worked hard, you could have a better life. That’s been my focus since I came into office, and that has to be our focus now. It’s one of the reasons why we’re working to reduce our nation’s deficit. Government has to start living within its means, just like families do. We have to cut the spending we can’t afford so we can put the economy on sounder footing, and give our businesses the confidence they need to grow and create jobs.The good news is, Democrats and Republicans agree on the need to solve the problem.And over the last few weeks, the Vice President and I have gotten both parties to identify more than $1 t rillion in spending cuts. That’s trillion with a ‘t.’ But after a decade in which Washington ran up the country’s credit card, we’ve got to find more savings to get out of the red. That means looking at every program and tax break in the budget – every single one –to find places to cut waste and save money. It means we’ll have to make tough decisions and scale back worthy programs. And nothing can be off limits, including spending in the tax code, particularly the loopholes that benefit very few individuals and corporations.Now, it would be nice if we could keep every tax break, but we can’t afford them. Because if we choose to keep those tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires, or for hedge fund managers and corporate jet owners, or for oil and gas companies pulling in huge profits without our help –then we’ll have to make even deeper cuts somewhere else. We’ve got to say to a student, ‘You don’t get a college scholarship.’ We have to say to a medical researcher, ‘You can’t do that cancer research.’ We might have to tell seniors, ‘You have to pay more for Medicare.’That isn’t right, and it isn’t smart. We’ve got to cut the deficit, but we can do that while making investments in education, research, and technology that actually create jobs. We can live within our means while still investing in our future. That’s what we have to do. And I’m confident that the Democrats and Republicans in Congress can find a way to give some ground, make some hard choices, and put their shoulders to wheel to get this done for the sake of our country.On Monday, we celebrate Independence Day, the day we declared a new nation, based on revolutionary idea: that people ought to determine their own destiny; that freedom and self-governance weren’t gifts handed to us by kings or emperors, but the rights of e very human being. We’ve learned in the years since that democracy isn’t always pretty. We have arguments. We disagree. But time and again we’ve proven that we could come together to solve problems. We remember that while we may not see eye-to-eye one verything, we share a love for this country and a faith in its future. That’s the spirit we need to harness now. That’s how we’ll meet this challenge and reach a brighter day. Thanks for listening, and have a wonderful fourth of July.。

美国总统奥巴马每周电台演讲:为我们的孩子提供一个更好更安全的未来
Hi, everybody. One of the most urgent challenges of our time is climate change. We know that 2015 surpassed 2014 as the warmest year on record –and 2016 is on pace to be even hotter.
大家好。
我们这个时代面对的最大挑战之一就是气候变化。
我们知道2015您超过2014年成为最热一年—2016年正在成为更热的一年。
When I took office, I said this was something we couldn't kick down the road any longer –that our children 's future depended on our action. So we got to work, and over the past seven-and-a-half years, we've made ambitious investments in clean energy, and ambitious reductions in our carbon emissions. We've multiplied wind power threefold. We've multiplied solar power more than thirtyfold. In parts of America, these clean power sources are finally cheaper than dirtier, conventional power. And carbon pollution from our energy sector is at its lowest level in 25 years, even as we're continuing to grow our economy.
我刚刚就任时就说这件事不能在继续下去了—我们的孩子们的未来取决于我们的行动。
所以我们采取了一些措施，在过去的七年半里，我们我们在清洁能源领域大量投资，并且大量减少我们的碳排放。
我们的风能发电增加了两倍。
我们的太阳能利用达到了以往的三十多倍。
在美国的某些地方，清洁能源最终实现了比传统的高污染能源还要便宜。
来自能源板块的碳污染达到了25年来的最低点，而我们的经济仍然在继续增长。
We've invested in energy efficiency, and we're slashing carbon emissions from appliances, homes, and businesses –saving families money on their energy bills. We're reforming how we manage federal coal resources, which supply roughly 40% of America's coal. We've set the first-ever national standards limiting the amount of carbon pollution power plants can release into the sky.
我们投资于提高能源效率，我们从家电、住宅和各行各业大幅削减碳排放—为家庭节省能源开销。
我们正在进行大约占美国煤炭供应量40%的联邦煤炭资源改革。
我们制定了前所未有的国家标准，以此限制发电厂向大气中排放碳污染的总量。
We also set standards to increase the distance our cars and light trucks can go on a gallon of gas every year through 2025. And they're working. At a time when we've seen auto sales surge, manufacturers are innovating and bringing new technology to market faster than expected. Over 100 cars, SUVs, and pick-up trucks on the market today already meet our vehicles standards ahead of schedule. And we've seen a boom in the plug-in electric vehicle market –with more models, lower battery costs, and more than 16,000 charging stations.
我们还制定了标准，以此实现在2025年轿车和轻卡的每加仑行程更远。
它们已经奏效。
就在汽车销量大增时，制造商们投资并推出新技术的步伐也超过预期。
今天的市场上超过100种汽车、SUV、皮卡已经提前到达了标准。
我们已经看到了插电汽车市场的繁荣—有更多的型号、更低成本的电池和超过16,000个充电站。
But we're not done yet. In the weeks and months ahead, we'll release a second round of fuel efficiency standards for heavy-duty vehicles. We'll take steps to meet the goal we set with Canada and Mexico to achieve 50 percent clean power across North America by 2025. And we'll continue to protect our lands and waters so that our kids and grandkids can enjoy our most beautiful spaces for generations.
但是我们的目标还远远没有达到。
在未来的几个星期和几个月中，我们将推出关于重载汽车的第二轮燃油效率标准。
我们将达到我们与加拿大和墨西哥共同制定的在2025年以前，北美清洁能源占50%的目标。
我们将继续保护我们的土地和水源，使我们的子孙能够世世代代享受更加美好的世界。
There's still much more to do. But there's no doubt that America has become a global leader in the fight against climate change. Last year, that leadership helped us bring nearly 200 nations together in Paris around the most ambitious agreement in history to save the one planet we've got. That's not something to tear up –it's something to build upon. And if we keep pushing, and leading the world in the right direction, there's no doubt that, together, we can leave a better, cleaner, safer future for our children.
我们还有很多要做。
但是毋庸置疑的是美国已经成为应对气候变化的全球领导者。
去年，这个领导地位帮助我们召集了近200个国家在巴黎就保护我们的星球签订了历史上最雄心勃勃的协议。
它不是破—而是立。
如果我们继续推进、继续领导世界走向正确的方向，我们必将共同留给我们的子孙一个更加美好、更加清洁和更加安全的未来。
Thanks, everybody. Have a great weekend.
谢谢各位。
周末快乐。
