美国总统周末电台演讲：华盛顿白宫奥巴马电台演讲

WASHINGTON, DC— In his weekly address, President Obama spoke to the American people from a factory in Petersburg, Virginia about the growing trend of companies creating more jobs in the United States, and also making better products than ever before. The new technologies they are developing are playing an important role in reducing our dependence on foreign oil and saving families money at the pump. Under the Obama Administration, domestic oil and gas production is up, and we are currently producing more oil at home than any time in the last eight years, but with only 2% of the world’s oil reserves, we can’t just drill our way to lower gas prices. We need an all-of-the-above strategy that focuses on American-made energy, as well as increasing the fuel efficiency of the cars we drive, saving families money and dramatically reducing our reliance on foreign oil. The President also called on Congress to end the $4 billion in subsidies to oil companies each year so that we can invest in clean energy technologies. There is no silver bullet to solve high gas prices, but together we can work to overcome our energy challenges as we create new American jobs.

Remarks of President Barack Obama

Weekly Address The White House Saturday, March 10, 2012 Hi, everybody. I’m speaking to you this week from a factory in Petersburg, Virginia, where they’re bringing on more than 100 new workers to build parts for the next generation of jet engines.

It’s a story that’s happening more frequently across the country. Our businesses just added 233,000 jobs last month – for a total of nearly four million new jobs over the last two years. More companies are choosing to bring jobs back and invest in America. Manufacturing is adding jobs for the first time since the 1990s, and we’re building more things to sell to the rest of the world stamped with three proud words: Made in America. And it’s not just that we’re building stuff. We’re building better stuff. The engine parts manufactured here in Petersburg will go into next-generation planes that are lighter, faster, and more fuel-efficient. That last part is important. Because whether you’re paying for a plane ticket, or filling up your gas tank, technology that helps us get more miles to the gallon is one of the easiest ways to save money and reduce our dependence on foreign oil.

The recent spike in gas prices has been another painful reminder of why we have to invest in this technology. As usual, politicians have been rolling out their three-point plans for two-dollar gas: drill, drill, and drill some more. Well, my response is, we have been drilling. Under my Administration, oil production in America is at an eight-year high. We’ve quadrupled the number of operating oil rigs, and opened up millions of acres for drilling. But you and I both know that with only 2% of the world’s oil reserves, we can’t just drill our way to lower gas prices – not when consume 20 percent of the world’s oil. We need an all-of-the-above strategy that relies less on foreign oil and more on American-made energy – solar, wind, natural gas, biofuels, and more. That’s the strategy we’re pursuing. It’s why I went to a plant in North Carolina earlier this week, where they’re making trucks that run on natural gas, and hybrid trucks that go further on a single tank. And it’s why I’ve been focused on fuel efficient cars since the day I took office. Over the last few years, the annual number of miles driven by Americans has stayed roughly the same, but the total amount of gas we use has been going down. In other words, we’re getting more bang for our buck.

If we accelerate that trend, we can help drivers save a significant amount of money. That’s why, after 30 years of inaction, we finally put in place new standards that will make sure our cars average nearly 55 miles per gallon by the middle of the next decade – nearly double what they get today. This wasn’t easy: we had to bring together auto companies, and unions, and folks who don’t ordinarily see eye to eye. But it was worth it. Because these cars aren’t some pie in the sky solution that’s years away. They’re being built right now – by American workers, in factories right here in the U.S.A. Every year, our cars and trucks will be able to go further and use less fuel, and pretty soon, you’ll be able to fill up every two weeks instead of every week – something that, over time, will save the typical family more than $8,000 at the pump. We’ll reduce our oil consumption by more than 12 billion barrels. That’s a future worth investing in. So we have a choice. Right now, some folks in Washington would rather spend another $4 billion on subsidies to oil companies each year. Well you know what? We’ve been handing out these kinds of taxpayer giveaways for nearly a century. And outside of Congress, does anyone really think that’s still a good idea? I want this Congress to stop the giveaways to an oil industry that’s never been more profitable, and invest in a clean energy industry that’s never been more promising. We should be investing in the technology that’s building the cars and trucks and jets that will prevent us from dealing with these high gas prices year after year after year.

Ending this cycle of rising gas prices won’t be easy, and it won’t happen overnight. But that’s why you sent us to Washington – to solve tough problems like this one. So I’m going to keep doing everything I can to help you save money on gas, both right now and in the future. I hope politicians from both sides of the aisle join me. Let’s put aside the bumper-sticker slogans, remember why we’re here, and get things done for the American people. Thank you, God bless you, and have a great weekend.

I’m speaking to you from the bridge of the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson in San Diego. This is one of the biggest ships in the Navy, and on Friday it was home to one of the most unique college basketball games I’ve ever seen. It also gave members of our military and our veterans退伍军人 a chance to unwind解开, 松开, 放松 a little bit, and on this Veterans Day, I want to take this opportunity to thank all our men and women in uniform for their service and their sacrifice.

But this day isn’t just about thanking our veterans. It’s about rededicating再奉献、在致力于ourselves to serving our veterans as well as they’ve served us. And right now, that’s more important than ever.

Last month, I announced that, as promised, we will end the war in Iraq by the end of the year. Many of our military families will be welcoming loved ones home for the holidays. At the same time, we’ve begun to wind down绞下,接下 the war in Afghanistan. And in the next five years, over a million servicemembers will transition back into civilian life – joining the 3 million who have already done so over the last decade.

These are men and women who have served with distinction in some of the most dangerous places on the planet. But for many of them, the challenges don’t end when they take off the uniform. Today, more than 850,000 veterans remain unemployed. And too many are struggling to find a job worthy of their talents and experience.

That’s not right. We ask these men and women to leave their families and their jobs and risk their lives to fight for our country. The last thing they should have to do is fight for a job when they get home.

To give our veterans the opportunities they’ve earned, I’ve directed the federal government to lead by example – and already, we’ve hired 120,000 veterans. We’ve also challenged private companies to hire or train 100,000 post-9/11 veterans or their spouses 配偶 by the end of 2013. So far, many patriotic companies have answered the call, hiring more than 16,000 Americans. And yesterday, thanks to the hard work of Michelle and Dr. Jill Biden, companies announced their commitment to train or hire 125,000 more over the next two years.

But we still need to do more. That’s why, as part of the American Jobs Act, I called on Congress to pass a Returning Heroes Tax Credit, which would give businesses a tax break for each unemployed veteran they hire; and a Wounded Warriors Tax Credit, which would give businesses a tax break for hiring an unemployed veteran with a disability related to their service in uniform.

These proposals will go a long way towards putting our veterans back to work. And on Thursday, I was pleased to see the Senate put partisanship aside and come together to pass these tax credits. After all, standing up for our veterans isn’t a Democratic responsibility or a Republican responsibility – it’s an American responsibility. It’s one that all of us have an obligation to meet. And the House should pass this bill as soon as possible so I can sign it into law.

As Commander-in-Chief, I want every veteran to know that America will always honor your service and your sacrifice – not just today, but every day. And just as you fought for us, we’re going to keep fighting for you – for more jobs, for more security, for the opportunity to keep your families strong and America competitive in the 21st century.

So to all our veterans – thank you for your service. God bless you. And may God bless the United States of America.

第三篇：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 Must Act Now toPass a Budget and

Raise the Debt Ceiling

WASHINGTON, 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.

Weekly Address

Hi, 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.

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.
