if there is anyone out there who still doubts that america is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.
it"s the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen; by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voice could be that difference.
it"s the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, democrat and republican, black, white, latino, asian, native american, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled - americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of red states and blue states: we are, and always will be, the united states of america.
it"s the answer that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful of what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.
it"s been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to america.
i just received a very gracious call from senator mccain. he fought long and hard in this campaign, and he"s fought even longer and harder for the country he loves. he has endured sacrifices for america that most of us cannot begin to imagine, and we are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader. i congratulate him and governor palin for all they have achieved, and i look forward to working with them to renew this nation"s promise in the months ahead.
i want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of scranton and rode with on that train home to delaware, the vice president-elect of the united states, joe biden.
i would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last si_teen years, the rock of our family and the love of my life, our nation"s ne_t first lady, michelle obama. sasha and malia, i love you both so much, and you have earned the new puppy that"s coming with us to the white house. and while she"s no longer with us, i know my grandmother is watching, along with the family that made me who i am. i miss them tonight, and know that my debt to them is beyond measure.
to my campaign manager david plouffe, my chief strategist david a_elrod, and the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics - you made this happen, and i am forever grateful for what you"ve sacrificed to get it done. but above all, i will never forget who this victory truly belongs to - it belongs to you.
i was never the likeliest candidate for this office. we didn"t start with much money or many endorsements. our campaign was not hatched in the halls of washington - it began in the backyards of des moines and the living rooms of concord and the front porches of charleston.
it was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give five dollars and ten dollars and twenty dollars to this cause. it grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation"s apathy; who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep; from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on the doors of perfect strangers; from the millions of americans who volunteered, and organized, and proved that more than two centuries later, a government of the people, by the people and for the people has not perished from this earth. this is your victory.
i know you didn"t do this just to win an election and i know you didn"t do it for me. you did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. for even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime - two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century. even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave americans waking up in the deserts of iraq and the mountains of afghanistan to risk their lives for us. there are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after their children fall asleep and wonder how they"ll make the mortgage, or pay their doctor"s bills, or save enough for college. there is new energy to harness and new jobs to be created; new schools to build and threats to meet and alliances to repair.
the road ahead will be long. our climb will be steep. we may not get there in one year or even one term, but america - i have never been more hopeful than i am tonight that we will get there. i promise you - we as a people will get there.
there will be setbacks and false starts. there are many who won"t agree with every decision or policy i make as president, and we know that government can"t solve every problem. but i will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. i will listen to you, especially when we disagree. and above all, i will ask you join in the work of remaking this nation the only way it"s been done in america for two-hundred and twenty-one years - block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand. what began twenty-one months ago in the depths of winter must not end on this autumn night. this victory alone is not the change we seek - it is only the chance for us to make that change. and that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were. it cannot happen without you.
so let us summon a new spirit of patriotism; of service and responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves, but each other. let us remember that if this financial crisis taught us anything, it"s that we cannot have a thriving wall street while main street suffers - in this country, we rise or fall as one nation; as one people.
let us resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long. let us remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the republican party to the white house - a party founded on the values of self-reliance, individual liberty, and national unity. those are values we all share, and while the democratic party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress. as lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, “we are not enemies, but friends…though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection.” and to those americans whose support i have yet to earn - i may not have won your vote, but i hear your voices, i need your help, and i will be your president too.
and to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of our world - our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of american leadership is at hand. to those who would tear this world down - we will defeat you. to those who seek peace and security - we support you. and to all those who have wondered if america"s beacon still burns as bright - tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from our the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity, and unyielding hope.
for that is the true genius of america - that america can change. our union can be perfected. and what we have already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.
this election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. but one that"s on my mind tonight is about a woman who cast her ballot in atlanta. she"s a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election e_cept for one thing - ann ni_on cooper is 106 years old. she was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn"t vote for two reasons - because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.
and tonight, i think about all that she"s seen throughout her century in america - the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we can"t, and the people who pressed on with that american creed: yes we can.
at a time when women"s voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. yes we can.
when there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a new deal, new jobs and a new sense of common purpose. yes we can.
when the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. yes we can.
she was there for the buses in montgomery, the hoses in birmingham, a bridge in selma, and a preacher from atlanta who told a people that “we shall overcome.” yes we can.
a man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination. and this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in america, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how america can change. yes we can.
america, we have come so far. we have seen so much. but there is so much more to do. so tonight, let us ask ourselves - if our children should live to see the ne_t century; if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as ann ni_on cooper, what change will they see? what progress will we have made?
this is our chance to answer that call. this is our moment. this is our time - to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the american dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth - that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can"t, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people:
yes we can. thank you, god bless you, and may god bless the united states of america.

the president: hello, big easy! (applause.) everybody, give it up for nancy for thatgreat introduction. (applause.) it is good to be back in new orleans. this is what passes forwinter here in new orleans, huh? (laughter.) folks got all their coats on and all that. come on.you need to go to chicago to know what it’s like to be cold.
it is great to be here. it is especially happy for my staff. they love coming to new orleans.but we did schedule the event early because ifigure there’s a limit to how much trouble theycould get into. (laughter.) they can’t get over to bourbon street fast enough if we did adaytimeevent. and i know that there areprobably a couple of my staff that are lsu fans. iwouldn’t mind staying for the game tomorrownight. i know we’ve got the presidenthere -- i justsaw him a minute ago and i wished him all the best.
i also want to acknowledge acouple of other people who are here. you’vegot your governor-- bobby jindal is here. (applause.) we’ve got thesecretary of transportation anthony fo__,who is here. (applause.) we have cedric richmond, your outstanding congressman. (applause.) cedric then brought down a whole bunch of his colleagues from thecongressionalblack caucus for some important work that they’re doing -- notthat they’re going to enjoythemselves at all while they’re here. (laughter.) but we are thrilled to see them all here.
you have one of the best mayorsin the country in mitch landrieu. (applause.) and i justflew downwith your senator, who, by coincidence, has the same name -- mary landrieu. (applause.) she’s traveling around the state today and doing unbelievable work on behalfof thepeople of louisiana. and i justwant to say nobody is a tougher advocate on behalf of theworking people oflouisiana than mary landrieu. so we’revery, very proud of the work that shedoes. (applause.)
finally, i want to thank mr. garylagrange, keith palmisano, and chris hammond. theyshowed me around the port. (applause.) and this is one ofthe -- by the way, anybody who’s gota seat, feel free. i noticed that a few folks are standingup. if you don’t have a seat then keeponstanding. i don’t want you hurtingyourself.
this is one of the busiest portcomple_es in the entire world. you movemillions of tons ofsteel and chemicals and fuel and food every singleyear. i just found out you also handle alot ofthe country’s coffee, which means you’re responsible for keeping thewhite house awake at alltimes. (applause.) got some coffee folkshere.
and, in so many ways, this portis representative of what ports all around the country do:they help to keep our economy going -- movingproducts, moving people, making sure thatbusinesses are working. you’ve got corn and wheat that’s coming downfrom my home state ofillinois down the river, ending up here, and then goingall around the world. and it’s part ofthereason why we’ve been able to increase e_ports so rapidly, is because we’vegot some of the bestnatural resources and waterways and facilities in theworld.
now, growing our economy,creating new jobs, helping middle-class families regain a senseof stabilityand security so they can find good jobs and make sure that their kids are doingevenbetter than they did -- that’s always been what america is about, but fortoo many people, thatsense that you can make it here if you try, that sensehas been slipping away. and mydrivingfocus has been to restore that sense of security, and it should be washington’sfocus,regardless of party. that’s whateverybody in washington should be thinking about every day.
so today, i want to just offer acouple of ideas about what we could do right now togetherthat would help oureconomy -- right now. now, the good newsis, over the past 44 months ourbusinesses have created 7.8 million newjobs. since i took office, we’ve cut thedeficits in half. (applause.) that’s right. by the way, you wouldn’t know this sometimes listening to folks ontv,but the deficits are going down, they’re not going up. they’ve been cut in half. (applause.)and they keep on going down.
over the past three years, healthcare costs have risen at the slowest pace on record.e_ports are up. the housing market is up. the american auto industry is roaring back. so we’vegot a lot of good things to buildon, but we’ve got a lot more work to do. and what we shouldstart doing, the first thing we should do is stopdoing things that undermine our businessesand our economy over the past fewyears -- this constant cycle of manufactured crises and self-inflicted woundsthat have been coming out of washington.
for e_ample, we learned yesterdaythat over the summer, our economy grew at its fastestpace in a year. that’s the good news. the bad news is that the very day that theeconomicquarter ended, some folks in washington decided to shut down thegovernment and threatenedto default on america’s obligations for the firsttime in more than 200 years. and it’slike thegears of our economy, every time they are just about to take off,suddenly somebody taps thebrakes and says, "not so fast."
audience member: tell it! (laughter.)
the president: now, our businesses are resilient. we’ve got great workers. and so, asa consequence, we added about200,000 new jobs last month. but there’sno question that theshutdown harmed our jobs market. the unemployment rate still ticked up. and we don’t yetknow all the data for thisfinal quarter of the year, but it could be down because of whathappened inwashington. now, that makes nosense. these self-inflicted wounds don’thave tohappen. they should not happenagain.
we should not be injuringourselves every few months -- we should be investing inourselves. we should be building, not tearing thingsdown. rather than refighting the sameoldbattles again and again and again, we should be fighting to make sureeverybody who workshard in america and hard right here in new orleans, thatthey have a chance to get ahead.that’swhat we should be focused on. (applause.)
which brings me to one of thereasons i’m here at this port. one ofthe things we should befocused on is helping more businesses sell moreproducts to the rest of the world. andthe onlyway those products get out is through facilities like this. right now, e_ports are one of thebrightestspots in our economy. thanks in part tonew trade deals that we signed with countrieslike panama and colombia andsouth korea, we now e_port more goods and services than everbefore. and that means jobs right here in the unitedstates of america.
last year, every $1 billion ine_ports supports nearly 5,000 jobs, including jobs right here atthis port. so we’re working on new trade deals that willmean more jobs for our workers, andmore business for ports like this one.
and, by the way, when i travelaround the world, i’m out there selling. i’ll go anywhere inthe world to make sure that those products stampedwith those words, "made in america," thatwe can open up those markets and sellthem anywhere. (applause.)
so helping american businessesgrow; creating more jobs -- these are not democratic orrepublicanpriorities. they are priorities thateverybody, regardless of party, should be able toget behind. and that’s why, in addition to working withcongress to grow our e_ports, i’ve putforward additional ideas where i believedemocrats and republicans can join together to makeprogress right now.
number one, congress needs topass a farm bill that helps rural communities grow andprotects vulnerableamericans. for decades, congress found away to compromise and passfarm bills without fuss. for some reason, now congress can’t even getthat done. now, this isnot somethingthat just benefits farmers. ports likethis one depend on all the products comingdown the mississippi. so let’s do the right thing, pass a farmbill. we can start sellingmoreproducts. that’s more business for thisport. and that means more jobs righthere. (applause.)
number two, we should fi_ ourbroken immigration system. (applause.) this would begoodfor our national security, but it would also be good for our economic security. over thene_t two decades, it would grow oureconomy by $1.4 trillion. it wouldshrink our deficits bynearly a trillion dollars. this should not be a partisan issue. president bush proposed the broadoutlines ofcommon-sense immigration reform almost a decade ago. when i was in the senate,i joined 23 of myrepublican colleagues to back those reforms. this year, the senate has alreadypassed a bill with broad bipartisansupport.
so all we’re doing now is waitingfor the house to act. i don’t know whatthe holdup is. but ifthere’s a goodreason not to do it, i haven’t heard it. there’s no reason both parties can’t cometogether and get this donethis year. get it done this year. (applause.)
number three, democrats andrepublicans should work together on a responsible budgetthat sets america on astronger course for the future. weshouldn’t get caught up in the sameold fights. and we shouldn’t just cut things just for the sake of cuttingthings. remember, iwant to remind you-- what’s happening in the deficits? they’re going down. they’reshrinking.they’re falling faster thanthey have in 60 years.
so what we have to do now is dowhat america has always done: make somewiseinvestments in our people and in our country that will help us grow overthe long term. weshould close wastefulta_ loopholes that don’t help our jobs, don’t grow our economy, and theninvestthat money in things that actually do create jobs and grow our economy. and one of thosethings is building new roadsand bridges and schools and ports. thatcreates jobs. (applause.) itputs people to work during theconstruction phase. and then it createsan infrastructure for oureconomy to succeed moving forward.
educating our kids, training ourworkers so they’re prepared for the global economy -- thathelps us grow. we should be investing in that. and mayor landrieu has been doing a great jobinimproving education here in new orleans. (applause.)
investing in science and research and technology -- that keeps ourbusinesses and ourmilitary at our cutting edge. that’s the kind of investment we should bemaking.
i mean, think about ourinfrastructure. in today’s globaleconomy, businesses are going totake root and grow wherever there’s thefastest, most reliable transportation andcommunications networks -- they cango anywhere. so china is investing a lotin infrastructure.europe is investing awhole lot in infrastructure. and brazilis investing a whole lot ininfrastructure. what are we doing?
we’re doing some good thingslocally here. the state and city aretrying to do some work,but nationally we’re falling behind. we’re relying on old stuff. i don’t think we should have justoldstuff. we should have some new stuffthat is going to help us grow and keep pace withglobal competition.
rebuilding our transportation andcommunications networks is one of the fastest ways tocreate good jobs. and consider that just a couple of years fromnow, we’re going to have newsupertankers that are going to start comingthrough the panama canal, and these tankers canhold three times as much cargoas today’s. if a port can’t handle thosesupertankers, they’ll goload and unload cargo somewhere else. so there’s work that we can start doing interms ofdredging and making the passageways deeper, which means thesupertankers can have morestuff on them, which means they can unload and loadmore stuff, which makes this port morecompetitive.
so why wouldn’t we put people towork upgrading them? (applause.) why wouldn’t we dothat? it’s not just our ports either. one in nine of our bridges is ratedstructurally deficient.more than 40percent of our major highways are congested; so is our airspace. everybody who’ssitting on a tarmac wonderingwhy it is that you’re not taking off, and getting aggravated whenyou go flysomeplace, part of the reason is we’ve got this antiquated air traffic controlsystem.we need the ne_t generation airtraffic control system. it would reducetime travel; it wouldreduce delays. itreduces fuel costs for airlines. itreduces pollution in the sky. we knowhow todo it, we just haven’t done it.
that shouldn’t be a democratic ora republican issue. that’s just smart togo ahead and doit. something thatpeople across the political spectrum shouldbe able to agree on. now, here’sthething: all these opportunities andchallenges, they’re not going to magically fi_ themselves.we’ve got to do it. and anybody who says we can’t afford to payfor these things needs to realizewe’re already paying for them.
i’ll give you an e_ample. a lot of trucking companies now reroute theirshipments to avoidtraffic and unsafe bridges. so they’re going longer than they need to; that costs them money.so you’re paying for it. those costs then get passed on toconsumers. or it means companiesaren’tmaking as much of a profit and maybe they’ve got fewer employees. so directly orindirectly, we’re paying forit. and the longer we delay, the more we’llpay.
but the sooner we take care ofbusiness, the better. and i know that ifthere’s one thing thatmembers of congress from both parties want, it’s smartinfrastructure projects that create goodjobs in their districts.
that’s why, last year, i took thestep without congress to speed up the permitting processfor big infrastructureprojects like upgrading our ports. justcut through the red tape. get itdonefaster. this year, rebuilding ourinfrastructure could be part of a bipartisan budget deal. acouple months ago, i put forward an idea totry to break through some of the old arguments -- agrand bargain formiddle-class jobs. and what i said was,we’ll simplify our corporate ta_code, close some wasteful ta_ loopholes, endincentives to ship jobs overseas, lower ta_ rates forbusinesses that createjobs here in the united states, and use some of the money we save byswitchingto a smarter ta_ system to create good construction jobs building the thingsthat ourbusinesses need right here in america. it’s a pretty sensible deal. (applause.)
so if we took that step, we couldmodernize our air traffic control system to keep planesrunning on time;modernize our power grids and pipelines so they survive storms; modernizeourschools to prepare our kids for jobs of the future; modernize our ports so theycanaccommodate the new ships.
the point is, rebuilding ourinfrastructure or educating our kids, funding basic research --they are notpartisan issues, they’re american issues. there used to be a broad consensus thatthese things were important toour economy. and we’ve got to get backto that mindset. we’vegot to moveforward on these things together. itdoesn’t mean that there aren’t going to bedisagreements on a whole bunch ofstuff, but let’s work on the things we agree on.
now, i’m going to make one lastpoint, one area where we haven’t made much bipartisanprogress -- at least notas much as i’d like -- is fi_ing our broken health care system. (applause.)
and i took up this cause knowingit was hard -- there was a reason why no other presidenthad done it -- to makesure every american has access to quality, affordable health care, andto makesure that no american ever again has to fear one illness is going to bankruptthem. (applause.)
and the work we’ve already donehas resulted in, over the past three years, health care costsrising at theslowest pace on record. health carecosts for businesses are growing about one-thirdof the rate they were a decadeago, and we want those trends to continue.
now, we’ve had this problem withthe website. i’m not happy aboutthat. but we’re workingovertime to makesure that it gets fi_ed, because right now we’ve put in place a system,amarketplace, where people can get affordable health care plans. i promise you nobody hasbeen more frustrated. i want to go in and fi_ it myself, but i don’twrite code, so -- (laughter).
but to every american with apree_isting condition who’s been waiting for the day they couldbe covered justlike everybody else, for folks who couldn’t afford to buy their owninsurancebecause they don’t get it on the job, we’re going to fi_ the website. because theinsurance plans are there. they are good, and millions of americans arealready finding thatthey’ll gain better coverage for less cost, and it’s theright thing to do. (applause.)
now, i know that’s -- i knowhealth care is controversial, so there’s only going to be somuch support weget on that on a bipartisan basis -- until it’s working really well, andthenthey’re going to stop calling it obamacare. (laughter and applause.) they’regoing to callit something else.
one thing, though, i was talkingto your mayor and your governor about, though, is aseparate issue, which isone of the things that the affordable care act does is allow states toe_pandmedicaid to cover more of their citizens. (applause.)
and here in louisiana, that wouldbenefit about 265,000 people. andalready you’ve seenstates -- arkansas has covered -- taken this up, and they’recovering almost 14 percent of theiruninsured. republican governors in states like ohio and nevada, arizona, they’redoing it, too.oregon has alreadyreduced the number of uninsured by about 10 percent. and some of thesefolks opposed obamacare,but they did support helping their citizens who can’t get coverage.
so we want to work with everybody-- mayor, governor, insurance -- whoever it is thatwants to work with us herein louisiana to make sure that even if you don’t support the overallplan, let’sat least go ahead and make sure that the folks who don’t have health insurancerightnow can get it through an e_panded medicaid. let’s make sure we do that. (applause.) it’s theright thing to do.
and one of the reasons to do itis -- i’ve said this before; sometimes people don’t fullyappreciate it -- wealready pay for the health care of people who don’t have health insurance,wejust pay for the most e_pensive version, which is when they go to the emergencyroom.because what happens is, thehospitals have to take sick folk. they’renot just going to leavethem on the streets. but people who are sick, they wait until the very last minute. it’s muchmore e_pensive to treat them. hospitals have to figure out how to get theirmoney back, whichmeans they jack up costs for everybody who does have healthinsurance by about $1,000 perfamily.
so, as a consequence, whathappens is you’re already paying a hidden ta_ for a brokenhealth caresystem. community hospitals struggle tocare for the uninsured who can’t pay theirbills when they get sick. so it’s the right thing to do for the healthof our economies as a whole.it is apractical, pragmatic reason to do it. ithas nothing to do with politics or ideology. andthe more states that are working together, democrats andrepublicans, the better off we’regoing to be.
so the bottom line is, neworleans, we can work together to do these things, because we’vedone thembefore. we did not become the greatestnation on earth just by chance, just byaccident. we had some advantages -- really nice realestate here in the united states. butwhatwe also had were people who despite their differences -- and we come fromeverywhere and lookdifferent and have different traditions -- we understandthat this country works best when we’reworking together. and we decided to do what was necessary forour businesses and our familiesto succeed. and if we did it in the past, we can do it again.
so let’s make it easier for morebusinesses to e_pand and grow and sell more goods madein america to the restof the world. let’s make sure we’ve gotthe best ports and roads andbridges and schools. let’s make sure our young people are gettinga great education. let’s giveeverybodya chance to get ahead, not just a few at the top, but everybody -- (applause)--because if we do that, if we help our businesses grow and our communitiesthrive and ourchildren reach a little higher, then the economy is going togrow faster.
we’ll rebuild our middle classstronger. the american dream will bereal and achievable notjust for a few, but for everybody -- not just today,but for decades to come. that’s whatwe’refighting for. that’s what you’re allabout here at this port and here in new orleans. and i’mlooking forward to working with youto make sure we keep that up.
thank you. god bless you. god bless america. (applause.)

well, welcome to the white house,everybody. and that was one of the best introductions i’ve ever had. (applause.) so we’re so proud of kiara for the introduction and for sharing yourstory, and you’re just so poised. and iknow geoff canada is just out there all e_cited -- (laughter) -- and proud, andi know your mom is proud. i know she is. she should be.
kiara and the rest of these youngpeople grew up in a 97-square-block section of harlem. it’s a place where the odds used to bestacked against them every single day, even just graduating from high schoolwas a challenge. but with the help ofsome very dedicated adults and a program called the harlem children’s zone,they’re right on track to go to college. together, students, teachers, administrators, parents, community, they’rechanging the odds in this neighborhood. and that’s what we’re here to talk about today -– changing the odds forevery american child so that no matter who they are, no matter where they areborn, they have a chance to succeed in today’s economy.
now, the good news is that,thanks to the hard work and sacrifice of the american people all across thecountry over the last five years, our economy has grown stronger. our businesses have now created more than 8million new jobs since the depths of the recession. our manufacturing, our housing sectors arerebounding. our energy and technologyand auto industries are booming. we’vegot to keep our economy growing. we’vegot to make sure that everybody is sharing in that growth. we’ve got to keep creating jobs, and then we’vegot to make sure that wages and benefits are such that families can rebuild alittle bit of security. we’ve got tomake sure this recovery, which is real, leaves nobody behind. and that’s going to be my focus throughoutthe year.
this is going to be a year ofaction. that’s what the american peoplee_pect, and they’re ready and willing to pitch in and help. this is not just a job for government; thisis a job for everybody.
working people are looking forthe kind of stable, secure jobs that too often went overseas in the past coupleof decades. so ne_t week, i’ll join companies and colleges and take action toboost high-tech manufacturing -- the kind that attracts good new jobs and helpsgrow a middle class. business owners areready to play their part to hire more workers. so this month, i’m going to host ceos here at the white house not once,but twice: first to lay out specificsteps we can take to help more workers earn the skills that they need for today’snew jobs; second, they’re going to announce commitments that we’re making toput more of the long-term unemployed back to work.
and on january 28th, in my stateof the union address -- which i want all the legislators here to know i’m goingto try to keep a little shorter than usual -- (laughter) -- they’re cheeringsilently -- (laughter) -- i will mobilize the country around the nationalmission of making sure our economy offers every american who works hard a fairshot at success. anybody in this countrywho works hard should have a fair shot at success, period. it doesn’t matter where they come from, whatregion of the country, what they look like, what their last name is -- theyshould be able to succeed.
and obviously we’re coming off ofa rancorous political year, but i genuinely believe that this is not a partisanissue. because when you talk to the american people, you know that there arepeople working in soup kitchens, and people who are mentoring, and people whoare starting small businesses and hiring their neighbors, and very rarely arethey checking are they democrat or republican. there’s a sense of neighborliness that’s inherent in the american people-- we just have to tap into that.
and i’ve been very happy to seethat there are republicans like rand paul, who’s here today, who are ready toengage in this debate. that’s a goodthing. we’ve got democratic andrepublican elected officials across the country who are ready to roll up theirsleeves and get to work. and this shouldbe a challenge that unites us all.
i don’t care whether the ideasare democrat or republican. i do carethat they work. i do care that they aresubject to evaluation, and we can see if we are using ta_ dollars in a certainway, if we’re starting a certain program, i want to make sure that young peoplelike kiara are actually benefiting from them.
now, it’s one thing to say weshould help more americans get ahead, but talk is cheap. we’ve got to actually make sure that we doit. and i will work with anybody who’swilling to lay out some concrete ideas to create jobs, help more middle-classfamilies find security in today’s economy, and offer new ladders of opportunityfor folks to climb into the middle class.
and, personally, i hope we startby listening to the majority of the american people and restoring theunemployment insurance for americans who need a little help supporting theirfamilies while they look for a new job. and i’m glad the republicans and democrats in the senate are workingtogether to e_tend that lifeline. i hopetheir colleagues in the house will join them to set this right.
today i want to talk aboutsomething very particular, a specific e_ample of how we can make adifference. we are here with leaders whoare determined to change the odds in their communities the way these kids andtheir parents and dedicated citizens have changed the odds in harlem. it’s now been 50 years since presidentjohnson declared an unconditional war on poverty in america. and that groundbreaking effort created newavenues of opportunity for generations of americans. it strengthened our safety net for workingfamilies and seniors, americans with disabilities and the poor, so that when wefall -- and you never know what life brings you -- we can bounce backfaster. it made us a better country anda stronger country.
in a speech 50 years ago,president johnson talked about communities "on the outskirts ofhope where opportunitywas hard to come by." well, today’seconomic challenges are differentbut they’ve still resulted in communitieswhere in recent decades wrenching economic changehas made opportunity harderand harder to come by. there arecommunities where for toomany young people it feels like their future onlye_tends to the ne_t street corner or theoutskirts of town, too manycommunities where no matter how hard you work, your destinyfeels like it’salready been determined for you before you took that first step.
i’m not just talking aboutpockets of poverty in our inner cities. that’s the stereotype.i’mtalking about suburban neighborhoods that have been hammered by the housingcrisis. i’mtalking about manufacturingtowns that still haven’t recovered after the local plant shut downand jobsdried up. there are islands of ruralamerica where jobs are scarce -- they were scarceeven before the recession hit-- so that young people feel like if they want to actually succeed,they’ve gotto leave town, they’ve got to leave their communities.
and i’ve seen this personallyeven before i got into politics. infact, this is what drove meinto politics. i was just two years out of college when i first moved to the south sideof chicago.i was hired by a group ofchurches to help organize a community that had been devastatedwhen the localsteel plants closed their doors. and i’dwalk through neighborhoods filled up withboarded-up houses and crumblingschools, and single parents and dads who had nothing to dowith their kids, andkids who were hanging out on the street corners without any hope orprospectsfor the future.
but these churches cametogether. and then they started workingwith other non-profits andlocal businesses. and the government -- local, state and federal -- participated. and we startedgetting some things done thatgave people hope. and that e_periencetaught me thatgovernment does not have all the answers -- no amount of moneycan take the place of a lovingparent in a child’s life. but i did learn that when communities andgovernments and businessesand not-for-profits work together, we can make adifference. kiara is proof -- all theseyoungpeople are proof we can make a difference.
for the last 17 years, the harlemchildren’s zone -- the brainchild of geoffrey canada, who’shere today -- hasproven we can make a difference. and itoperated on a basic premise that eachchild will do better if all the childrenaround them are doing better. so in harlem,staff membersgo door to door and they recruit soon-to-be parents for "babycollege," preparing them forthose crucial first few months of life; makingsure that they understand how to talk to theirchild and read to their child,and sometimes working with parents to teach them how to read sothey can readto their child and give them the healthy start that they need.
and then, early childhoodeducation to get kids learning at four years old. and then acharter school that help studentssucceed all the way through high school. and medical careand healthy foods that are available close tohome. and e_ercise. i was very pleased to hearthat -- michellewas very pleased to hear that -- (laughter) -- that they’ve got a strong physedprogram. and then students gettinghelp finding internships and applying to college, and anoutstanding, dedicatedstaff that tries to make sure that nobody slips through the cracks orfallsbehind.
and this is an incredibleachievement, and the results have been tremendous. today,preschool students in the harlemchildren’s zone are better prepared for kindergarten. lastyear, a study found that students whowin a spot in one of the charter schools score higher onstandardized teststhan those who don’t. in a neighborhood where higher education was oncejustsomething that other people did, you’ve got hundreds of kids who’ve now gone tocollege.
and harlem is not the onlycommunity that’s found success taking on these challengestogether. in cincinnati, a focus on education hashelped to make sure more kids are ready forkindergarten. in nashville, they’ve redesigned high schoolsand boosted graduation rates byalmost 20 percent over the past 12 years. in milwaukee, they’ve cut teen pregnancy inhalf.
every community is different,with different needs and different approaches. butcommunities that are making the most progress on these issues havesome things in common.they don’t lookfor a single silver bullet; instead they bring together local governmentandnonprofits and businesses and teachers and parents around a shared goal. that’s whatgeoffrey did when he started theharlem children’s zone. government wasinvolved -- so don’tbe confused here, it has an important role to play. and already there are governmentresourcesgoing into these communities. but it’simportant that our faith institutions and ourbusinesses and the parents andthe communities themselves are involved in designing andthinking through howdo we move forward.
and the second thing is they’reholding themselves accountable by delivering measurableresults. we don’t fund things, we don’t start projectsjust for the sake of starting them.they’vegot to work. if they don’t work weshould try something else. and sometimesthose of uswho care deeply about advancing opportunity aren’t willing tosubject some of theseprograms to that test: do they work?
in my state of the union addresslast year, i announced our commitment to identifymore communities like these-- urban, rural, tribal -- where dedicated citizens aredetermined to make adifference and turn things around. andwe challenged them. we said ifyou candemonstrate the ability and the will to launch an all-encompassing,all-hands-on-deckapproach to reducing poverty and e_panding opportunity, we’llhelp you get the resourcesto do it. we’lltake resources from some of the programs that we’re already doingandconcentrate them. we’ll make sure thatour agencies are working together more effectively.we’ll put in talent to help you plan. but we’re also going to hold you accountableand measureyour progress.

my friends:
this is not a fireside chat on war. it is a talk on national security; because the nub of the whole purpose of your president is to keep you now, and your children later, and your grandchildren much later, out of a last-ditch war for the preservation of american independence, and all of the things that american independence means to you and to me and to ours.
tonight, in the presence of a world crisis, my mind goes back eight years to a night in the midst of a domestic crisis. it was a time when the wheels of american industry were grinding to a full stop, when the whole banking system of our country had ceased to function. i well remember that while i sat in my study in the white house, preparing to talk with the people of the united states, i had before my eyes the picture of all those americans with whom i was talking. i saw the workmen in the mills, the mines, the factories, the girl behind the counter, the small shopkeeper, the farmer doing his spring plowing, the widows and the old men wondering about their life"s savings. i tried to convey to the great mass of american people what the banking crisis meant to them in their daily lives.
tonight, i want to do the same thing, with the same people, in this new crisis which faces america. we met the issue of 1933 with courage and realism. we face this new crisis, this new threat to the security of our nation, with the same courage and realism. never before since jamestown and plymouth rock has our american civilization been in such danger as now. for on september 27th, 1940 -- this year -- by an agreement signed in berlin, three powerful nations, two in europe and one in asia, joined themselves together in the threat that if the united states of america interfered with or blocked the e_pansion program of these three nations -- a program aimed at world control -- they would unite in ultimate action against the united states.
the nazi masters of germany have made it clear that they intend not only to dominate all life and thought in their own country, but also to enslave the whole of europe, and then to use the resources of europe to dominate the rest of the world. it was only three weeks ago that their leader stated this: "there are two worlds that stand opposed to each other." and then in defiant reply to his opponents he said this: "others are correct when they say: "with this world we cannot ever reconcile ourselves.""" i can beat any other power in the world." so said the leader of the nazis.
in other words, the a_is not merely admits but the a_is proclaims that there can be no ultimate peace between their philosophy -- their philosophy of government -- and our philosophy of government. in view of the nature of this undeniable threat, it can be asserted, properly and categorically, that the united states has no right or reason to encourage talk of peace until the day shall come when there is a clear intention on the part of the aggressor nations to abandon all thought of dominating or conquering the world.
at this moment the forces of the states that are leagued against all peoples who live in freedom are being held away from our shores. the germans and the italians are being blocked on the other side of the atlantic by the british and by the greeks, and by thousands of soldiers and sailors who were able to escape from subjugated countries. in asia the japanese are being engaged by the chinese nation in another great defense. in the pacific ocean is our fleet.
some of our people like to believe that wars in europe and in asia are of no concern to us. but it is a matter of most vital concern to us that european and asiatic war-makers should not gain control of the oceans which lead to this hemisphere. one hundred and seventeen years ago the monroe doctrine was conceived by our government as a measure of defense in the face of a threat against this hemisphere by an alliance in continental europe. thereafter, we stood guard in the atlantic, with the british as neighbors. there was no treaty. there was no "unwritten agreement." and yet there was the feeling, proven correct by history, that we as neighbors could settle any disputes in peaceful fashion. and the fact is that during the whole of this time the western hemisphere has remained free from aggression from europe or from asia.
does anyone seriously believe that we need to fear attack anywhere in the americas while a free britain remains our most powerful naval neighbor in the atlantic? and does anyone seriously believe, on the other hand, that we could rest easy if the a_is powers were our neighbors there? if great britain goes down, the a_is powers will control the continents of europe, asia, africa, austral-asia, and the high seas. and they will be in a position to bring enormous military and naval resources against this hemisphere. it is no e_aggeration to say that all of us in all the americas would be living at the point of a gun -- a gun loaded with e_plosive bullets, economic as well as military. we should enter upon a new and terrible era in which the whole world, our hemisphere included, would be run by threats of brute force. and to survive in such a world, we would have to convert ourselves permanently into a militaristic power on the basis of war economy.
some of us like to believe that even if britain falls, we are still safe, because of the broad e_panse of the atlantic and of the pacific. but the width of those oceans is not what it was in the days of clipper ships. at one point between africa and brazil the distance is less than it is from washington to denver, colorado, five hours for the latest type of bomber. and at the north end of the pacific ocean, america and asia almost touch each other. why, even today we have planes that could fly from the british isles to new england and back again without refueling. and remember that the range of the modern bomber is ever being increased.
during the past week many people in all parts of the nation have told me what they wanted me to say tonight. almost all of them e_pressed a courageous desire to hear the plain truth about the gravity of the situation. one telegram, however, e_pressed the attitude of the small minority who want to see no evil and hear no evil, even though they know in their hearts that evil e_ists. that telegram begged me not to tell again of the ease with which our american cities could be bombed by any hostile power which had gained bases in this western hemisphere. the gist of that telegram was: "please, mr. president, don"t frighten us by telling us the facts." frankly and definitely there is danger ahead -- danger against which we must prepare. but we well know that we cannot escape danger, or the fear of danger, by crawling into bed and pulling the covers over our heads.
some nations of europe were bound by solemn nonintervention pacts with germany. other nations were assured by germany that they need never fear invasion. nonintervention pact or not, the fact remains that they were attacked, overrun, thrown into modern slavery at an hour"s notice -- or even without any notice at all. as an e_iled leader of one of these nations said to me the other day, "the notice was a minus quantity. it was given to my government two hours after german troops had poured into my country in a hundred places." the fate of these nations tells us what it means to live at the point of a nazi gun.
the nazis have justified such actions by various pious frauds. one of these frauds is the claim that they are occupying a nation for the purpose of "restoring order." another is that they are occupying or controlling a nation on the e_cuse that they are "protecting it" against the aggression of somebody else. for e_ample, germany has said that she was occupying belgium to save the belgians from the british. would she then hesitate to say to any south american country: "we are occupying you to protect you from aggression by the united states"? belgium today is being used as an invasion base against britain, now fighting for its life. and any south american country, in nazi hands, would always constitute a jumping off place for german attack on any one of the other republics of this hemisphere.
analyze for yourselves the future of two other places even nearer to germany if the nazis won. could ireland hold out? would irish freedom be permitted as an amazing pet e_ception in an unfree world? or the islands of the azores, which still fly the flag of portugal after five centuries? you and i think of hawaii as an outpost of defense in the pacific. and yet the azores are closer to our shores in the atlantic than hawaii is on the other side.
there are those who say that the a_is powers would never have any desire to attack the western hemisphere. that is the same dangerous form of wishful thinking which has destroyed the powers of resistance of so many conquered peoples. the plain facts are that the nazis have proclaimed, time and again, that all other races are their inferiors and therefore subject to their orders. and most important of all, the vast resources and wealth of this american hemisphere constitute the most tempting loot in all of the round world.
let us no longer blind ourselves to the undeniable fact that the evil forces which have crushed and undermined and corrupted so many others are already within our own gates. your government knows much about them and every day is ferreting them out. their secret emissaries are active in our own and in neighboring countries. they seek to stir up suspicion and dissension, to cause internal strife. they try to turn capital against labor, and vice versa. they try to reawaken long slumbering racial and religious enmities which should have no place in this country. they are active in every group that promotes intolerance. they e_ploit for their own ends our own natural abhorrence of war. these trouble-breeders have but one purpose. it is to divide our people, to divide them into hostile groups and to destroy our unity and shatter our will to defend ourselves.
there are also american citizens, many of them in high places, who, unwittingly in most cases, are aiding and abetting the work of these agents. i do not charge these american citizens with being foreign agents. but i do charge them with doing e_actly the kind of work that the dictators want done in the united states. these people not only believe that we can save our own skins by shutting our eyes to the fate of other nations. some of them go much further than that. they say that we can and should become the friends and even the partners of the a_is powers. some of them even suggest that we should imitate the methods of the dictatorships. but americans never can and never will do that.
the e_perience of the past two years has proven beyond doubt that no nation can appease the nazis. no man can tame a tiger into a kitten by stroking it. there can be no appeasement with ruthlessness. there can be no reasoning with an incendiary bomb. we know now that a nation can have peace with the nazis only at the price of total surrender. even the people of italy have been forced to become accomplices of the nazis; but at this moment they do not know how soon they will be embraced to death by their allies.
the american appeasers ignore the warning to be found in the fate of austria, czechoslovakia, poland, norway, belgium, the netherlands, denmark, and france. they tell you that the a_is powers are going to win anyway; that all of this bloodshed in the world could be saved, that the united states might just as well throw its influence into the scale of a dictated peace and get the best out of it that we can. they call it a "negotiated peace." nonsense! is it a negotiated peace if a gang of outlaws surrounds your community and on threat of e_termination makes you pay tribute to save your own skins? for such a dictated peace would be no peace at all. it would be only another armistice, leading to the most gigantic armament race and the most devastating trade wars in all history. and in these contests the americas would offer the only real resistance to the a_is power. with all their vaunted efficiency, with all their parade of pious purpose in this war, there are still in their background the concentration camp and the servants of god in chains.
the history of recent years proves that the shootings and the chains and the concentration camps are not simply the transient tools but the very altars of modern dictatorships. they may talk of a "new order" in the world, but what they have in mind is only a revival of the oldest and the worst tyranny. in that there is no liberty, no religion, no hope. the proposed "new order" is the very opposite of a united states of europe or a united states of asia. it is not a government based upon the consent of the governed. it is not a union of ordinary, self-respecting men and women to protect themselves and their freedom and their dignity from oppression. it is an unholy alliance of power and pelf to dominate and to enslave the human race.
the british people and their allies today are conducting an active war against this unholy alliance. our own future security is greatly dependent on the outcome of that fight. our ability to "keep out of war" is going to be affected by that outcome. thinking in terms of today and tomorrow, i make the direct statement to the american people that there is far less chance of the united states getting into war if we do all we can now to support the nations defending themselves against attack by the a_is than if we acquiesce in their defeat, submit tamely to an a_is victory, and wait our turn to be the object of attack in another war later on.
if we are to be completely honest with ourselves, we must admit that there is risk in any course we may take. but i deeply believe that the great majority of our people agree that the course that i advocate involves the least risk now and the greatest hope for world peace in the future.
the people of europe who are defending themselves do not ask us to do their fighting. they ask us for the implements of war, the planes, the tanks, the guns, the freighters which will enable them to fight for their liberty and for our security. emphatically, we must get these weapons to them, get them to them in sufficient volume and quickly enough so that we and our children will be saved the agony and suffering of war which others have had to endure.
let not the defeatists tell us that it is too late. it will never be earlier. tomorrow will be later than today.
certain facts are self-evident.
in a military sense great britain and the british empire are today the spearhead of resistance to world conquest. and they are putting up a fight which will live forever in the story of human gallantry. there is no demand for sending an american e_peditionary force outside our own borders. there is no intention by any member of your government to send such a force. you can therefore, nail, nail any talk about sending armies to europe as deliberate untruth. our national policy is not directed toward war. its sole purpose is to keep war away from our country and away from our people.
democracy"s fight against world conquest is being greatly aided, and must be more greatly aided, by the rearmament of the united states and by sending every ounce and every ton of munitions and supplies that we can possibly spare to help the defenders who are in the front lines. and it is no more un-neutral for us to do that than it is for sweden, russia, and other nations near germany to send steel and ore and oil and other war materials into germany every day in the week.
we are planning our own defense with the utmost urgency, and in its vast scale we must integrate the war needs of britain and the other free nations which are resisting aggression. this is not a matter of sentiment or of controversial personal opinion. it is a matter of realistic, practical military policy, based on the advice of our military e_perts who are in close touch with e_isting warfare. these military and naval e_perts and the members of the congress and the administration have a single-minded purpose: the defense of the united states.
this nation is making a great effort to produce everything that is necessary in this emergency, and with all possible speed. and this great effort requires great sacrifice. i would ask no one to defend a democracy which in turn would not defend every one in the nation against want and privation. the strength of this nation shall not be diluted by the failure of the government to protect the economic well-being of its citizens. if our capacity to produce is limited by machines, it must ever be remembered that these machines are operated by the skill and the stamina of the workers.
as the government is determined to protect the rights of the workers, so the nation has a right to e_pect that the men who man the machines will discharge their full responsibilities to the urgent needs of defense. the worker possesses the same human dignity and is entitled to the same security of position as the engineer or the manager or the owner. for the workers provide the human power that turns out the destroyers, and the planes, and the tanks. the nation e_pects our defense industries to continue operation without interruption by strikes or lockouts. it e_pects and insists that management and workers will reconcile their differences by voluntary or legal means, to continue to produce the supplies that are so sorely needed. and on the economic side of our great defense program, we are, as you know, bending every effort to maintain stability of prices and with that the stability of the cost of living.
nine days ago i announced the setting up of a more effective organization to direct our gigantic efforts to increase the production of munitions. the appropriation of vast sums of money and a well-coordinated e_ecutive direction of our defense efforts are not in themselves enough. guns, planes, ships and many other things have to be built in the factories and the arsenals of america. they have to be produced by workers and managers and engineers with the aid of machines which in turn have to be built by hundreds of thousands of workers throughout the land. in this great work there has been splendid cooperation between the government and industry and labor. and i am very thankful.
american industrial genius, unmatched throughout all the world in the solution of production problems, has been called upon to bring its resources and its talents into action. manufacturers of watches, of farm implements, of linotypes and cash registers and automobiles, and sewing machines and lawn mowers and locomotives, are now making fuses and bomb packing crates and telescope mounts and shells and pistols and tanks.
but all of our present efforts are not enough. we must have more ships, more guns, more planes -- more of everything. and this can be accomplished only if we discard the notion of "business as usual." this job cannot be done merely by superimposing on the e_isting productive facilities the added requirements of the nation for defense. our defense efforts must not be blocked by those who fear the future consequences of surplus plant capacity. the possible consequences of failure of our defense efforts now are much more to be feared. and after the present needs of our defense are past, a proper handling of the country"s peacetime needs will require all of the new productive capacity, if not still more. no pessimistic policy about the future of america shall delay the immediate e_pansion of those industries essential to defense. we need them.
i want to make it clear that it is the purpose of the nation to build now with all possible speed every machine, every arsenal, every factory that we need to manufacture our defense material. we have the men, the skill, the wealth, and above all, the will. i am confident that if and when production of consumer or lu_ury goods in certain industries requires the use of machines and raw materials that are essential for defense purposes, then such production must yield, and will gladly yield, to our primary and compelling purpose.
so i appeal to the owners of plants, to the managers, to the workers, to our own government employees to put every ounce of effort into producing these munitions swiftly and without stint. with this appeal i give you the pledge that all of us who are officers of your government will devote ourselves to the same whole-hearted e_tent to the great task that lies ahead.
as planes and ships and guns and shells are produced, your government, with its defense e_perts, can then determine how best to use them to defend this hemisphere. the decision as to how much shall be sent abroad and how much shall remain at home must be made on the basis of our overall military necessities.
we must be the great arsenal of democracy.
for us this is an emergency as serious as war itself. we must apply ourselves to our task with the same resolution, the same sense of urgency, the same spirit of patriotism and sacrifice as we would show were we at war.
we have furnished the british great material support and we will furnish far more in the future. there will be no "bottlenecks" in our determination to aid great britain. no dictator, no combination of dictators, will weaken that determination by threats of how they will construe that determination. the british have received invaluable military support from the heroic greek army and from the forces of all the governments in e_ile. their strength is growing. it is the strength of men and women who value their freedom more highly than they value their lives.
i believe that the a_is powers are not going to win this war. i base that belief on the latest and best of information.
we have no e_cuse for defeatism. we have every good reason for hope -- hope for peace, yes, and hope for the defense of our civilization and for the building of a better civilization in the future. i have the profound conviction that the american people are now determined to put forth a mightier effort than they have ever yet made to increase our production of all the implements of defense, to meet the threat to our democratic faith.
美国总统罗斯福演讲稿:
我的朋友们:
这不是战争的炉边谈话。这是关于国家安全的讲话;因为你们的总统的目的,关键是要保持现在的你,和你的孩子后,你的孙子要晚得多,从最后的战争来维护美国的独立,和所有的事情,美国的独立性意味着你和我,我们的。
今晚,面对世界性危机,我的思绪又回到了八年前的一个晚上的国内危机之中。当时的美国工业的车轮被磨到完全停止时,我们整个国家的银行体系已停止功能。我清楚地记得,当我坐在我的研究在白宫,准备在美国的人的谈话中,我曾在我的眼前所有美国人的图片的人我是说。我看到工人们在米尔斯,矿山,工厂,柜台后面的女孩,小掌柜,农民做他的春耕,寡妇和老男人不知道自己一生的积蓄。我试图传达给美国人民银行危机对他们意味着什么在他们的日常生活,大众。
今晚,我想做同样的事情,与相同的人,在这个新的危机,面临美国。我们遇到了1933的勇气和现实问题。我们面临新的危机,这对我们国家安全的新威胁,以同样的勇气和现实主义。以前从来没有从詹姆斯敦和普利茅斯摇滚我们的美国文明现在是危险。在今年的1940年9月27日————在柏林签署了一项协议,三个强大的国家,两个在欧洲和亚洲,连接起来的威胁,如果美国对美国的干扰或阻止这三个国家的扩张计划——一项旨在控制世界——他们会团结在最终的行动反对美国。
纳粹德国的主子们明确表示,他们打算不仅主宰一切的生活和他们自己国家的思想,但也使整个欧洲,然后利用欧洲的资源来统治世界。它只有三个星期前,他们的领导人说:"有两个世界,反对对方。"然后在挑衅的回答他的对手,他说:"别人都正确时,他们说:"这个世界上我们永远无法调和自己。""我可以击败任何其他权力在世界上。"纳粹的领导人这样说。
换句话说,轴不仅仅承认,但轴宣称,最终没有可和平之间的哲学——他们的哲学的政府——和我们的政府理念。在这个不可否认的威胁的性质来看,可以说,正确和绝对,认为美国没有任何权利或理由鼓励谈论和平直到必当有对侵略国部分明确意图放弃所有的控制或征服世界的思想。
作为美国总统,我呼吁国家的努力。我叫它在这个国家,我们的爱和尊敬,我们很荣幸和骄傲的服务名称。我号召我们的人民有绝对的信心,我们共同的事业将极大的成功。
在这一时刻,所有人都联合起来反对自由生活正在举行远离海岸的美国军队。德国人和意大利人被封锁在大西洋彼岸的英国,由希腊人,以及数以千计的士兵和水手得以逃脱被征服的国家。在亚洲,日本正被另一个伟大的中华民族从事国防。在太平洋舰队。
我们中的一些人认为,战争在欧洲和亚洲,我们都不关心。但这是一个最重要的关注,美国,欧洲和亚洲的战争者不应获得导致这个半球海洋控制。一百一十七年前,梦露主义的构思是由我国政府在威胁这个半球的联盟在欧洲大陆面临的防御措施。此后,我们守在大西洋,与英国的邻居。没有条约。没有不成文的协议。"但有感觉,被历史证明是正确的,我们的邻居会在和平的方式解决争议。而事实上,此时的西半球始终没有来自欧洲和亚洲的侵略的整个期间。
有没有人真的相信,我们需要担心的攻击在美洲任何地方而自由英国仍然是我们最强大的海军在大西洋的邻居?有人相信,在另一方面,我们可以放心如果轴心国是我们的邻居那里吗?如果英国下山,轴心国将控制欧洲大陆,亚洲,非洲,亚洲和南半球,公海。他们将在一个位置,带来了巨大的军事和海军资源对这个半球。毫不夸张地说,在所有美洲我们都将生活在枪口——枪装满炸药的子弹,经济以及军事。我们要进入这整个世界的一个新的和可怕的时代,我们的大脑半球在内,将由武力威胁。而在这样一个世界生存下去,我们必须改变自己的永久战争的经济基础上军国主义的力量。
我们中的一些人认为,即使英国的瀑布,我们仍然是安全的,因为浩瀚的大西洋和太平洋。但这些海洋宽度不在三桅帆船的日子是什么。在一个点在非洲和巴西之间的距离是小于它是从华盛顿到丹佛,科罗拉多州,为轰炸机的最新型的五小时。在太平洋的北端,美国和亚洲几乎相互接触。为什么,甚至今天我们能飞的飞机从英国到新英格兰再不加油。记住:现代轰炸机范围日益增加。
在过去的一周在全国各地有很多人告诉我,他们希望我说今晚。几乎所有的人都表达了一个勇敢的渴望听到有关形势的严峻事实。然而一封电报,表达,谁想要非礼勿视、非礼勿听少数的态度,即使他们在心里知道,邪恶的存在。那封电报请求我不要告诉了我们与缓解美国城市可以被任何敌对势力已经在这个西半球获得基地轰炸。这封电报大意是:"请你,总统先生,不要吓唬我们告诉我们的事实。"老实说,肯定是前面有危险——危险对我们必须做好准备。但我们知道,我们不能逃避危险,或对危险的恐惧,爬行到床上,把被子蒙住头。
欧洲一些国家的不干涉协定庄严德国束缚。其他国家是德国的保证永远不必担忧入侵。不干涉协定或不,事实上,他们被攻击,超限,扔到现代奴隶制一小时通知——甚至没有注意到这一切。作为一个流亡领袖之一,这些国家说一天我,"通知负量。这是给我的政府后,德国军队已经涌入我国一百处两个小时"。这些国家的命运告诉我们,生活在纳粹的枪口意味着什么。
纳粹已经由各种虔诚的欺诈行为。一个骗子是声称他们正处在一个国家为目的的"恢复秩序"。另一个原因是,他们占有或控制的国家,他们借口"保护"对别人的侵略。例如,德国已经表示,她是从英国占领比利时挽救比利时。她会再犹豫说任何南美国家:"我们正处在你保护你免遭美国的侵略?比利时今天是作为反对英国侵略基地,现在战斗的生活。和其他南美国家,在纳粹手中,总是会构成一个跳发生在这个半球的其它共和国的任何一个德国的进攻。
你们两个其他地方未来的分析更近,如果到德国纳粹赢得。就爱尔兰呢?将爱尔兰自由被允许在不自由的世界,一个惊人的宠物例外?或亚速尔群岛的岛屿,它还飞葡萄牙国旗经过五个世纪?你和我认为夏威夷是太平洋地区的防御前哨。然而,亚速尔群岛是大西洋更接近我们的海岸到夏威夷的另一边。
有人说,轴心国,不会有任何攻击欲望西半球。那是一厢情愿的破坏了许多被征服民族抵抗力量同样危险的形式。简单的事实是,纳粹党已经宣布,一次又一次,所有其他种族都是他们的人因此受到他们的命令。最重要的是,广大富饶的美洲是所有的一轮世界最诱人的战利品。
让我们不再盲目的自己,已压碎破坏和损坏的很多人已经在我们自己的大门的邪恶势力不可否认的事实。你的政府对他们很了解,每一天都是找出这些错误。他们的秘密使者都是我们自己和周边国家的活动。他们试图激起猜疑和纠纷,造成内乱。他们试图把资本和劳动,反之亦然。他们试图唤醒沉睡的种族和宗教仇恨长应已在这个国家没有的地方。他们在每一组中,促进不耐受是活跃的。他们利用自己结束自己的天然憎恶战争。这些麻烦的饲养者的目的只有一个。它是把我们的人,把他们分为敌对的团体和破坏我们的团结,粉碎了我们会为自己辩护。
也有美国公民,他们中的许多人在高的地方,谁,不知不觉地在大多数情况下,是协助及教唆这些药物的工作。我不收这些美国公民和外国代理人。但我却指控他们做这样的工作,独裁的人们想在美国做的。这些人不仅相信我们可以通过关闭我们的眼睛,其他国家的命运,拯救我们自己的皮肤。他们中的一些人远远不止这些。他们说,我们可以而且应该成为朋友,甚至是轴心国伙伴。他们中的一些人甚至认为我们应该效法的独裁统治的方法。但美国人永远不会永远不会那样做。
过去两年的经验已经证明,毫无疑问,没有一个国家能安抚纳粹。没有人能驯服老虎变成一只小猫抚摸它。对残暴行为是不能姑息。有可以用燃烧弹没有推理。现在我们知道,一个国家可以与纳粹分子只有在彻底投降的代价的和平。即使意大利人被迫成为纳粹同谋;但他们此刻不知道很快他们将接受死亡,他们的盟友。
不管是在美国和奥地利,捷克斯洛伐克,波兰,挪威,比利时,命运发现警告荷兰,丹麦,法国。他们告诉你,轴心国要赢得;世界上所有的流血的事件是可以被挽救的,美国或许也将影响到一个支配的和平的规模和得到最好的,我们可以。他们称之为"和平谈判的废话。"!这是一个和平谈判如果一伙不法之徒包围你的社区和灭绝的威胁让你表示敬意,拯救自己的皮肤?这种支配的和平就没有和平。它只会是另一个停战,导致整个历史中最巨大的军备竞赛和最具破坏性的贸易战。在这些比赛美洲将轴功率提供的唯一真正的阻力。他们所有的自负的效率,与他们所有的游行的虔诚的目的在这场战争中,仍有其背景中的链的集中营里,神的仆人。
近几年来的历史证明,枪击链和集中营的不仅仅是短暂的工具,但现代独裁统治的祭坛。他们可以说是一个"新秩序"的世界,但他们心目中只有一个复兴的最古老和最坏的暴君。在没有自由,没有宗教,没有希望。所提出的"新秩序"是一个美国的欧洲或美国亚洲恰恰相反。它不是一个政府基于人民的同意。这不是一个普通的联盟,自尊的男人和女人来保护自己和自己的自由和尊严的压迫。这是一个邪恶联盟的权力和财富支配和奴役人类。
英国人和他们的盟友,现在正在进行积极的对抗这邪恶联盟。我们自己的未来的安全在很大程度上取决于这场战斗的结果。我们的"不战"的能力将取决于这个结果。思想上的今天和明天,我将直接声明美国人民有更少的机会,美国进入战争,如果我们所做的一切都是我们现在可以支持国家保卫自己免受攻击的轴比如果我们接受他们的失败,提交驯顺的轴线的胜利,和等待我们的将是在后来的另一场战争攻击的对象。
如果我们对自己诚实,我们必须承认有风险的任何过程中我们可以采取。但我深信,我国绝大多数人同意,我提倡的课程包括风险最小的现在和未来世界和平的最大希望的。
欧洲的人民在捍卫自己,不要求我们替他们打仗。他们问我们的战争,实现了飞机,坦克,大炮,货船,使他们能为自己的自由和我们的安全而战。重点,我们必须把这些武器给他们,让他们在足够量的迅速足以使我们和我们的孩子将被保存的痛苦和苦难的战争,其他人不得不忍受。
不要让失败主义者告诉我们,它是太晚了。它将不会早。明天要比今天更迟。
一定的事实是不言而喻的。
在军事上说,英国和英帝国的今天是抵抗征服世界的先锋。他们坚持战斗,这将永远活在人类的勇敢的故事。没有要求美国派远征军到国外。有没有意向你们政府的任何成员发送这样的力量。你可以因此,钉,钉约出兵欧洲任何故意不说话。我们的国家政策不是走向战争。它的唯一目的是让战争离开我们的国家和我们的人民远离。
民主的反对征服全世界正在帮助很大,必须更多的帮助很大,由美国重整军备和发送的每一盎司和军需供应每吨,我们可以备用帮助那些在前线守军。这是没有更多的中性点为我们做的比它是瑞典,俄罗斯,德国和其他国家附近把钢铁、矿石、石油和其他战争物资到德国一礼拜中的每一天。
我们最紧迫的我们自己的防卫计划,并在其庞大的规模就必须把英国和其他自由国家抵抗侵略战争的需要。这不是一个问题,情绪或有争议的个人意见。这是一个现实的,实际的军事政策,基于我们的军事专家谁有紧密的联系,与现有的战争的建议。这些军事和海军专家和国会的成员和政府有一个专一的目的:美国的防御。
这个国家正在产生的一切,在这紧急需要很大的努力,并尽速。这种努力需要伟大的牺牲。我会让无人防守的民主又不会保卫每个人对抗国家要与贫困。这个国家的强度不应以政府未能保护其公民的经济福祉稀释。如果我们的生产能力是有限的机器,它将永远记得这些机器的技能和工人的体力工作。
作为政府决意保护工人的权利,因此,国家有权要求人的机器将履行其全权防御的迫切需要。工人们拥有相同的人格尊严和有权的位置相同的安全工程师或经理或老板。为员工提供人力,原来的驱逐舰,和飞机,坦克和。国家希望我们的国防工业继续运行不受罢工或停工中断。预计,坚持管理和员工将自愿或法律手段调和他们之间的分歧,继续生产,所以急需的物资。在我们伟大的防御计划,经济方面我们是,你知道的,弯曲的一切努力,生活成本的稳定性保持稳定的价格。
九天前我宣布建立一个更有效的组织来指导我们的巨大努力增加军_生产。的巨额资金拨款和协调执行方向我们的防御措施本身并不足够。枪炮,飞机,船舶和其他许多事情都必须建立在工厂和美国的核武库。他们必须由工人和管理人员和工程师制作的这反过来又是由成千上万的工人在陆地的机器的帮助。在这个伟大的工作已经有政府、行业和劳动之间的良好合作。我很感激。
美国工业界的天才,无与伦比的全世界的生产问题的解决,已经呼吁,将以其聪明才智为行动。的手表制造商,农具,对linotypes和收银机和汽车,和缝纫机和割草机和机车,现在使熔断器和炸弹的包装箱和望远镜支架和贝壳和枪和坦克。
但我们所有的努力是不够的。我们必须有更多的船只,更多的枪,更多的飞机——更多的东西。这可以当我们抛弃了"照常营业的概念。"这工作不能由叠加在现有的生产设施,增加国防的需要仅仅做。我们的防守努力不要被那些担心将来工厂生产能力过剩的后果的封锁。我们的防御措施失效的可能后果现在更是可怕的。在我们的国防需求现状是过去,正确处理国家的和平时期,需要将要求所有新的生产能力,如果不是更。没有对美国前途悲观的政策应当延缓这些行业必不可少的防御即时扩张。我们需要他们。
我想说清楚,它的目的是现在尽快地建立每一台机器,每一个阿森纳,每一个工厂,我们需要我们的国防材料制造。我们有人,技能,财富,最重要的是,将。我相信,如果在某些行业的生产消费品和奢侈品需要机器,用于国防目的是必不可少的原料使用,那么这样的生产一定产量,而且会心甘情愿地,我们的主要的和令人信服的目的。
因此我号召工厂的业主,对管理人员,对工人,我们自己的政府雇员把一点一滴的努力为生产军_和毫不吝惜地。这一呼吁我给你的承诺,我们所有的人都是你的政府官员将致力于同全心全意地去谎言的伟大任务。
由于生产,大炮和炮弹的政府,它的国防专家,可以决定如何最好地使用它们来保卫这个半球。决定把多少将被派往国外,多少要留在家里,必须对我们的整体军事用品的基础上。
我们必须成为民主国家的兵工厂。
对我们来说这是紧急和战争本身一样严重。我们必须致力于我们的任务具有相同的分辨率,同样的紧迫感,同样的爱国主义精神和牺牲,我们将展示我们的战争。
我们已经给英国伟大的物质上的支持,我们将为今后更远。将不会有"瓶颈"决心帮助英国。没有独裁的人,没有结合的独裁的人,将削弱的威胁,确定如何解释,测定。英国已收到从英雄的希腊军队从流亡在外的所有政府军队宝贵的军事支持。他们的力量是成长。这是男人和女人谁珍惜他们的自由生活比他们的价值更高的强度。
我相信,轴心国不会赢得这场战争。我相信最新和最好的信息库。
我们没有理由失败。我们有理由希望——希望和平,是的,希望对我们文明的防御和在未来更好的文明建设。我认为美国人民现在决定提出一个更强大的力量比他们曾经还增加我们的防御所有实现生产的信念,以满足我们的民主信仰的威胁。
作为美国总统,我呼吁国家的努力。我叫它在这个国家,我们的爱和尊敬,我们很荣幸和骄傲的服务名称。我号召我们的人民有绝对的信心,我们共同的事业将极大的成功。

thank you all. thank you so much. thank you. thank you all very much. you know, i always feel welcome at miami-dade college. this is a place that welcomes everyone with their hearts set on the future – a place where hope leads to achievement, and striving leads to success. for all of us, it is just the place to be in the campaign that begins today.
we are 17 months from the time for choosing. the stakes for america"s future are about asgreat as they come. our prosperity and our security are in the balance. so is opportunity, inthis nation where every life matters and everyone has the right to rise.
already, the choice is taking shape. the party now in the white house is planning a no-suspense primary, for a no-change election. to hold onto power. to slog on with the sameagenda under another name: that"s our opponents" call to action this time around. that"s allthey"ve got left.
and you and i know that america deserves better.
they have offered a progressive agenda that includes everything but progress. they areresponsible for the slowest economic recovery ever, the biggest debt increases ever, amassive ta_ increase on the middle class, the relentless buildup of the regulatory state, andthe swift, mindless drawdown of a military that was generations in the making.
i, for one, am not eager to see what another four years would look like under that kind ofleadership.
the presidency should not be passed on from one liberal to the ne_t.
so, here"s what it comes down to. our country is on a very bad course. and the question is:what are we going to do about it?
the question for me is: what am i going to do about it?
and i have decided.
i am a candidate for president of the united states of america.
we will take command of our future once again in this country.
we will lift our sights again, make opportunity common again, get events in the world movingour way again.
we will take washington – the static capital of this dynamic country – and turn it out of thebusiness of causing problems.
and we will get back on the side of free enterprise and free people.
i know we can fi_ this because i"ve done it.
here, in this great and diverse state that looks so much like america.
so many challenges could be overcome if we just get this economy growing at full strength.there is not a reason in the world why we cannot grow at a rate of four percent a year.
and that will be my goal as president – four percent growth, and the 19 million new jobs thatcome with it.
economic growth that makes a difference for hard-working men and women – who don"t need areminding that the economy is more than the stock market.
growth that lifts up the middle class – all the families who haven"t had a raise in 15 years.growth that makes a difference for everyone.
it"s possible.
it can be done.
we made florida number one in job creation and number one in small business creation. 1.3million new jobs, 4.4 percent growth, higher family income, eight balanced budgets, and ta_cuts eight years in a row that saved our people and businesses 19 billion dollars.
all this plus a bond upgrade to triple-a compared to the sorry downgrade of america"scredit in these years. that was the commitment, and that is the record that turned this statearound.
i also used my veto power to protect our ta_payers from needless spending.
and if i am elected president, i"ll show congress how that"s done.
leaders have to think big, and we"ve got a ta_ code filled with small-time thinking and self-interested politics. what swarms of lobbyists have done, we can undo with a vastly simplersystem – clearing out special favors for the few reducing rates for all.
what the irs, epa, and entire bureaucracy have done with overregulation, we can undo by actof congress and order of the president.
federal regulation has gone far past the consent of the governed.
it is time to start making rules for the rule-makers.
when we get serious about limited government, we can pursue the great and worthy goalsthat america has gone too long without.
we can build our future on solvency instead of borrowed money.
we can honor our commitments on the strength of fiscal integrity.
with north american resources and american ingenuity, we can finally achieve energysecurity for this nation – and with presidential leadership, we can make it happen within fiveyears.
if we do all of this, if we do it relentlessly, and if we do it right, we will make the united statesof america an economic superpower like no other.
we will also challenge the culture that has made lobbying the premier growth industry in ournation"s capital.
the rest of the country struggles under big government, while comfortable, complacentinterest groups in washington have been thriving on it.
a self-serving attitude can take hold in any capital, just as it once did in tallahassee.
i was a governor who refused to accept that as the normal or right way of conducting thepeople"s business.
i will not accept it as the standard in washington either.
we don"t need another president who merely holds the top spot among the pampered elites ofwashington.
we need a president willing to challenge and disrupt the whole culture in our nation"scapital.
and i will be that president because i was a reforming governor, not just another member ofthe club.
there"s no passing off responsibility when you"re a governor, no blending into the legislativecrowd or filing an amendment and calling that success.
as our whole nation has learned since 2024, e_ecutive e_perience is another term forpreparation, and there is no substitute for that.
we are not going to clean up the mess in washington by electing the people who either helpedcreate it or have proven incapable of fi_ing it.
in government, if we get a few big things right, we can make life better for millions of people,especially for kids in public schools. think of what we all watched not long ago in baltimorewhere so many young adults are walking around with no vision of a life beyond the life theyknow.
it"s a tragedy played out over and over and over again.
after we reformed education in florida, low-income student achievement improved here morethan in any other state.
we stopped processing kids along as if we didn"t care – because we do care, and you don"t showthat by counting out anyone"s child. you give them all a chance.
here"s what i believe.
when a school is just another dead end, every parent should have the right to send their childto a better school – public, private, or charter.
every school should have high standards, and the federal government should have nothing todo with setting them.
nationwide, if i am president, we will take the power of choice away from the unions andbureaucrats and give it back to parents.
we made sure of something else in florida – that children with developmental challenges gotschooling and caring attention, just like every other girl and boy. we didn"t leave them last inline. we put them first in line because they are not a problem. they are a priority.
that is always our first and best instinct in this nation filled with charitable hearts. yet thesehave been rough years for religious charities and their right of conscience. and the leadingdemocratic candidate recently hinted of more trouble to come.
secretary clinton insists that when the progressive agenda encounters religious beliefs to thecontrary those beliefs, quote, “have to be changed.” that"s what she said, and i guess weshould at least thank her for the warning.
the most galling e_ample is the shabby treatment of the little sisters of the poor, a christiancharity that dared to voice objections of conscience to obamacare. the ne_t president needsto make it clear that great charities like the little sisters of the poor need no federalinstruction in doing the right thing.
it comes down to a choice between the little sisters and big brother, and i"m going with thesisters.
it"s still a mystery to me why, in these violent times, the president a few months ago thoughtit relevant at a prayer breakfast to bring up the crusades.
americans don"t need lectures on the middle ages when we are dealing abroad with modernhorrors committed by fanatics.
from the beginning, our president and his foreign-policy team have been so eager to be thehistory makers that they have failed to be the peacemakers.
with their phone-it-in foreign policy, the obama-clinton-kerry team is leaving a legacy ofcrises uncontained, violence unopposed, enemies unnamed, friends undefended, and alliancesunraveling.
this supposedly risk-averse administration is also running us straight in the direction of thegreatest risk of all – military inferiority.
it will go on automatically until a president steps in to rebuild our armed forces and take careof our troops and our veterans.
and they have my word – i will do it.
we keep dependable friends in this world by being dependable ourselves.
i will rebuild our vital friendships. and that starts by standing with the brave, democraticstate of israel.
american-led alliances need rebuilding too, and better judgment is called for in relations farand near.
ninety miles to our south, there is talk of a state visit by our outgoing president.
but we don"t need a glorified tourist to go to havana in support of a failed cuba.
we need an american president to go to havana in solidarity with a free cuban people, and iam ready to be that president.
great things like that can really happen. and in this country of ours, the most improbablethings can happen as well. take that from a guy who met his first president on the day he wasborn, and his second on the day he was brought home from the hospital. the person whohandled both introductions is here today. she"s watching what i say – and frankly, with allthese reporters around, i"m watching what she says, too. please say hello to my wonderful mom,barbara bush.

选举已经结束,美利坚合众国将充满自信地前进。我看到我们的国家正迎来伟大的日子,很期待下一周的开始。
愿上帝保佑你们,保佑美国!

hi, everybody. sunday is father"s day. if you haven"t got dad a gift yet, there"s still time. just barely. but the truth is, what we give our fathers can never match what our fathers give us.
i know how important it is to have a dad in your life, because i grew up without my father around. i felt the weight of his absence. so for michelle and our girls, i try every day to be the husband and father my family didn"t have when i was young. and every chance i get, i encourage fathers to get more involved in their children"s lives, because what makes you a man isn"t the ability to have a child – it"s the courage to raise one.
still, over the past couple years, i"ve met with a lot of young people who don"t have a father figure around. and while there"s nothing that can replace a parent, any of us can do our part to be a mentor, a sounding board, a role model for a kid who needs one. earlier this year, i launched an initiative called my brother"s keeper – an all-hands-on-deck effort to help more of our young men reach their full potential. and if you want to be a mentor to a young man in your community, you can find out how at whitehouse.gov/mybrotherskeeper.
now, when i launched this initiative, i said that government can"t play the primary role in a young person"s life. taking responsibility for being a great parent or mentor is a choice that we, as individuals, have to make. no government program can ever take the place of a parent"s love. still, as a country, there are ways we can help support dads and moms who make that choice.
that"s why, earlier this week, we brought working dads from across america to the white house to talk about the challenges they face. and in a few weeks, i"ll hold the first-ever white house working families summit. we"ve still got too many workplace policies that belong in the 1950s, and it"s time to bring them up to date for today"s families, where oftentimes, both parents are working. moms and dads deserve affordable child care, and time off to care for a sick parent or child without running into hardship. women deserve equal pay for equal work – and at a time when more women are breadwinners for a family, that benefits men, too. and because no parent who works full-time should have to raise a family in poverty, it"s time for congress to follow the lead of state after state, get on the bandwagon, and give america a raise.
dads work hard. so our country should do what we can to make sure their hard work pays off; to make sure life for them and their families is a little less stressful, and a little more secure, so they can be the dads their kids need them to be. because there"s nothing more precious in life than the time we spend with our children. there"s no better feeling than knowing that we can be there for them, and provide for them, and help give them every shot at success.
let"s make sure every dad who works hard and takes responsibility has the chance to know that feeling, not just on one sunday, but every day of the year.
thanks everybody, happy father"s day, and have a great weekend.

thank you. thank you very much. (applause.) thank you so much. please,please, have aseat. thank you.
what a singular honor it is forme to be here today. i want to thank,first and foremost, thejohnson family for giving us this opportunity and thegraciousness with which michelle and ihave been received.
we came down a little bit latebecause we were upstairs looking at some of the e_hibits andsome of theprivate offices that were used by president johnson and mrs. johnson. and michellewas in particular interested to-- of a recording in which lady bird is critiquing presidentjohnson’sperformance. (laughter.) and she said, come, come, you need to listento this. (laughter.) and she pressed the button and nodded herhead. some things do not change --(laughter) -- even 50 years later.
to all the members of congress,the warriors for justice, the elected officials andcommunity leaders who arehere today -- i want to thank you.
four days into his suddenpresidency -- and the night before he would address a jointsession of thecongress in which he once served -- lyndon johnson sat around a table withhisclosest advisors, preparing his remarks to a shattered and grieving nation.
he wanted to call on senators andrepresentatives to pass a civil rights bill -- the mostsweeping sincereconstruction. and most of his staffcounseled him against it. they said itwashopeless; that it would anger powerful southern democrats and committeechairmen; that itrisked derailing the rest of his domestic agenda. and one particularly bold aide said he didnotbelieve a president should spend his time and power on lost causes, howeverworthy they mightbe. to which, it issaid, president johnson replied, "well, what the hell’s the presidencyfor?" (laughter and applause.) what the hell’s the presidency for if not tofight for causes youbelieve in?
today, as we commemorate the 50thanniversary of the civil rights act, we honor the menand women who made itpossible. some of them are heretoday. we celebrate giants like johnlewisand andrew young and julian bond. werecall the countless unheralded americans, blackand white, students andscholars, preachers and housekeepers -- whose names are etched notonmonuments, but in the hearts of their loved ones, and in the fabric of thecountry theyhelped to change.
but we also gather here, deep inthe heart of the state that shaped him, to recall one giantman’s remarkableefforts to make real the promise of our founding: "we hold these truths to beself-evident,that all men are created equal."
those of us who have had thesingular privilege to hold the office of the presidency knowwell that progressin this country can be hard and it can be slow, frustrating andsometimesyou’re stymied. the office humblesyou. you’re reminded daily that in thisgreatdemocracy, you are but a relay swimmer in the currents of history, boundby decisions madeby those who came before, reliant on the efforts of those whowill follow to fully vindicate yourvision.
but the presidency also affords aunique opportunity to bend those currents -- by shapingour laws and by shapingour debates; by working within the confines of the world as it is, butalso byreimagining the world as it should be.
this was president johnson’sgenius. as a master of politics and thelegislative process, hegrasped like few others the power of government tobring about change.
lbj was nothing if not arealist. he was well aware that the lawalone isn’t enough to changehearts and minds. a full century after lincoln’s time, he said, "until justice is blind tocolor, untileducation is unaware of race, until opportunity is unconcernedwith the color of men’s skins,emancipation will be a proclamation but not afact."
he understood laws couldn’taccomplish everything. but he also knewthat only the law couldanchor change, and set hearts and minds on a differentcourse. and a lot of americansneededthe law’s most basic protections at that time. as dr. king said at the time, "it may betrue that the law can’t make a manlove me but it can keep him from lynching me, and i thinkthat’s pretty important." (applause.)
and passing laws was what lbjknew how to do. no one knew politics andno one lovedlegislating more than president johnson. he was charming when he needed to be,ruthlesswhen required. (laughter.) he could wear you down with logic andargument. he could horsetrade, and hecould flatter. "you come with me on thisbill," he would reportedly tell a keyrepublican leader from my home stateduring the fight for the civil rights bill, "and 200 yearsfrom now,schoolchildren will know only two names: abraham lincoln and everett dirksen!" (laughter.) and he knew thatsenators would believe things like that. (laughter and applause.)
president johnson likedpower. he liked the feel of it, thewielding of it. but that hunger washarnessedand redeemed by a deeper understanding of the human condition; by a sympathyforthe underdog, for the downtrodden, for the outcast. and it was a sympathy rooted in hisowne_perience.
as a young boy growing up in thete_as hill country, johnson knew what being poor feltlike. "poverty was so common," he would later say,"we didn’t even know it had a name." (laughter.) the family homedidn’t have electricity or indoor plumbing. everybody workedhard, including the children. president johnson had known the metallictaste of hunger; the feelof a mother’s calloused hands, rubbed raw fromwashing and cleaning and holding a householdtogether. his cousin ava remembered sweltering daysspent on her hands and knees in thecotton fields, with lyndon whisperingbeside her, "boy, there’s got to be a better way to make aliving thanthis. there’s got to be a better way."
it wasn’t until years later whenhe was teaching at a so-called me_ican school in a tiny townin te_as that hecame to understand how much worse the persistent pain of poverty could beforother races in a jim crow south. oftentimes his students would show up to class hungry.and when he’d visit their homes, he’d meetfathers who were paid slave wages by the farmersthey worked for. those children were taught, he would latersay, "that the end of life is in a beetrow, a spinach field, or a cottonpatch."
deprivation and discrimination --these were not abstractions to lyndon baines johnson.he knew that poverty and injustice are asinseparable as opportunity and justice are joined.so that was in him from an early age.
now, like any of us, he was not aperfect man. his e_periences in ruralte_as may havestretched his moral imagination, but he was ambitious, veryambitious, a young man in a hurryto plot his own escape from poverty and tochart his own political career. and inthe jim crowsouth, that meant not challenging convention. during his first 20 years in congress,heopposed every civil rights bill that came up for a vote, once calling the pushfor federallegislation "a farce and a sham." he was chosen as a vice presidential nominee in part becauseof hisaffinity with, and ability to deliver, that southern white vote. and at the beginning of thekennedy administration,he shared with president kennedy a caution towards racialcontroversy.
but marchers kept marching. four little girls were killed in achurch. bloody sundayhappened. the winds of change blew. and when the time came, when lbj stood in theovaloffice -- i picture him standing there, taking up the entire doorframe,looking out over thesouth lawn in a quiet moment -- and asked himself what thetrue purpose of his office was for,what was the endpoint of his ambitions, hewould reach back in his own memory and he’dremember his own e_perience withwant.
and he knew that he had a uniquecapacity, as the most powerful white politician from thesouth, to not merelychallenge the convention that had crushed the dreams of so many, buttoultimately dismantle for good the structures of legal segregation. he’s the only guy whocould do it -- and heknew there would be a cost, famously saying the democratic party may"have lostthe south for a generation."
that’s what his presidency wasfor. that’s where he meets hismoment. and possessed withan iron will,possessed with those skills that he had honed so many years in congress,pushedand supported by a movement of those willing to sacrifice everything for theirownliberation, president johnson fought for and argued and horse traded andbullied and persuadeduntil ultimately he signed the civil rights act into law.
and he didn’t stop there -- eventhough his advisors again told him to wait, again told himlet the dust settle,let the country absorb this momentous decision. he shook them off. "themeat inthe coconut," as president johnson would put it, was the voting rights act, sohe foughtfor and passed that as well. immigration reform came shortly after. and then, a fair housingact. andthen, a health care law that opponents described as "socialized medicine" thatwouldcurtail america’s freedom, but ultimately freed millions of seniors fromthe fear that illnesscould rob them of dignity and security in their goldenyears, which we now know today asmedicare. (applause.)
what president johnson understoodwas that equality required more than the absence ofoppression. it required the presence of economicopportunity. he wouldn’t be as eloquentasdr. king would be in describing that linkage, as dr. king moved intomobilizing sanitationworkers and a poor people’s movement, but he understoodthat connection because he hadlived it. a decent job, decent wages, health care -- those, too, were civil rightsworth fightingfor. an economy wherehard work is rewarded and success is shared, that was his goal. and heknew, as someone who had seen the newdeal transform the landscape of his te_as childhood,who had seen thedifference electricity had made because of the tennessee valley authority,thetransformation concretely day in and day out in the life of his own family, heunderstood thatgovernment had a role to play in broadening prosperity to allthose who would strive for it.
"we want to open the gates toopportunity," president johnson said, "but we are also goingto give all ourpeople, black and white, the help they need to walk through those gates."
now, if some of this soundsfamiliar, it’s because today we remain locked in this same greatdebate aboutequality and opportunity, and the role of government in ensuring each. as wastrue 50 years ago, there are those whodismiss the great society as a failed e_periment and anencroachment onliberty; who argue that government has become the true source of all thatailsus, and that poverty is due to the moral failings of those who suffer fromit. there are alsothose who argue,john, that nothing has changed; that racism is so embedded in our dnathatthere is no use trying politics -- the game is rigged.
but such theories ignore history. yes, it’s true that, despite laws like thecivil rights act,and the voting rights act and medicare, our society is stillracked with division and poverty.yes,race still colors our political debates, and there have been governmentprograms that havefallen short. in atime when cynicism is too often passed off as wisdom, it’s perhaps easytoconclude that there are limits to change; that we are trapped by our ownhistory; and politicsis a fool’s errand, and we’d be better off if we rollback big chunks of lbj’s legacy, or at least ifwe don’t put too much of ourhope, invest too much of our hope in our government.
i reject such thinking. (applause.) not just because medicare and medicaid have liftedmillions fromsuffering; not just because the poverty rate in this nation would be farworsewithout food stamps and head start and all the great society programs thatsurvive tothis day. i reject suchcynicism because i have lived out the promise of lbj’s efforts. becausemichelle has lived out the legacy ofthose efforts. because my daughters havelived out thelegacy of those efforts. because i and millions of my generation were in a position to takethebaton that he handed to us. (applause.)
because of the civil rightsmovement, because of the laws president johnson signed, newdoors ofopportunity and education swung open for everybody -- not all at once, but theyswungopen. not just blacks and whites,but also women and latinos; and asians and nativeamericans; and gay americansand americans with a disability. theyswung open for you, andthey swung open for me. and that’s why i’m standing here today -- because of thoseefforts,because of that legacy. (applause.)
and that means we’ve got a debtto pay. that means we can’t afford to becynical. half acentury later, the lawslbj passed are now as fundamental to our conception of ourselves andourdemocracy as the constitution and the bill of rights. they are foundational; an essentialpiece ofthe american character.
but we are here today because weknow we cannot be complacent. forhistory travels notonly forwards; history can travel backwards, history cantravel sideways. and securing thegainsthis country has made requires the vigilance of its citizens. our rights, our freedoms --they are notgiven. they must be won. they must be nurtured through struggle anddiscipline,and persistence and faith.
and one concern i have sometimesduring these moments, the celebration of the signing ofthe civil rights act,the march on washington -- from a distance, sometimes thesecommemorations seeminevitable, they seem easy. all the painand difficulty and struggle anddoubt -- all that is rubbed away. and we look at ourselves and we say, oh,things are just toodifferent now; wecouldn’t possibly do what was done then -- these giants, whattheyaccomplished. and yet, they were men andwomen, too. it wasn’t easy then. it wasn’tcertain then.
still, the story of america is astory of progress. however slow, howeverincomplete, howeverharshly challenged at each point on our journey, howeverflawed our leaders, however manytimes we have to take a quarter of a loaf orhalf a loaf -- the story of america is a story ofprogress. and that’s true because of men like presidentlyndon baines johnson. (applause.
in so many ways, he embodiedamerica, with all our gifts and all our flaws, in all ourrestlessness and allour big dreams. this man -- born intopoverty, weaned in a world full ofracial hatred -- somehow found within himselfthe ability to connect his e_perience with thebrown child in a small te_astown; the white child in appalachia; the black child in watts. aspowerful as he became in that oval office,he understood them. he understood whatit meant tobe on the outside. and hebelieved that their plight was his plight too; that his freedomultimately waswrapped up in theirs; and that making their lives better was what the hellthepresidency was for. (applause.)
and those children were on hismind when he strode to the podium that night in the housechamber, when hecalled for the vote on the civil rights law. "it never occurred to me," he said, "in my fondest dreams that i mighthave the chance to help the sons and daughters of thosestudents" that he hadtaught so many years ago, "and to help people like them all overthiscountry. but now i do have thatchance. and i’ll let you in on a secret-- i mean to use it.and i hope that youwill use it with me." (applause.)
that was lbj’s greatness. that’s why we remember him. and if there is one thing that heand thisyear’s anniversary should teach us, if there’s one lesson i hope that malia andsasha andyoung people everywhere learn from this day, it’s that with enougheffort, and enoughempathy, and enough perseverance, and enough courage, peoplewho love their country canchange it.
in his final year, presidentjohnson stood on this stage, racked with pain, battered by thecontroversies ofvietnam, looking far older than his 64 years, and he delivered what would behisfinal public speech.
"we have proved that greatprogress is possible," he said. "we knowhow much still remainsto be done. andif our efforts continue, and if our will is strong, and if our hearts areright, and ifcourage remains our constant companion, then, my fellowamericans, i am confident, weshall overcome." (applause.)
we shall overcome. we, the citizens of the united states. like dr. king, like abrahamlincoln, likecountless citizens who have driven this country ine_orably forward, presidentjohnsonknew that ours in the end is a story of optimism, a story ofachievement and constant strivingthat is unique upon this earth. he knew because he had lived that story. he believed thattogether we can build anamerica that is more fair, more equal, and more free than the oneweinherited. he believed we make our owndestiny. and in part because of him, wemust believeit as well.
thank you. god bless you. god bless the united states of america. (applause.)

good morning. our nation was founded on a bedrock principle that we are all created equal. the project of each generation is to bridge the meaning of those founding words with the realities of changing times – a never-ending quest to ensure those words ring true for every single american.
progress on this journey often comes in small increments, sometimes two steps forward, onestep back, propelled by the persistent effort of dedicated citizens. and then sometimes, thereare days like this when that slow, steady effort is rewarded with justice that arrives like athunderbolt.
this morning, the supreme court recognized that the constitution guarantees marriageequality. in doing so, they"ve reaffirmed that all americans are entitled to the equalprotection of the law. that all people should be treated equally, regardless of who they are orwho they love.
this decision will end the patchwork system we currently have. it will end the uncertaintyhundreds of thousands of same-se_ couples face from not knowing whether their marriage,legitimate in the eyes of one state, will remain if they decide to move [to] or even visit another.this ruling will strengthen all of our communities by offering to all loving same-se_ couples thedignity of marriage across this great land.
in my second inaugural address, i said that if we are truly created equal, then surely the lovewe commit to one another must be equal as well. it is gratifying to see that principleenshrined into law by this decision.
this ruling is a victory for jim obergefell and the other plaintiffs in the case. it"s a victory forgay and lesbian couples who have fought so long for their basic civil rights. it"s a victory fortheir children, whose families will now be recognized as equal to any other. it"s a victory for theallies and friends and supporters who spent years, even decades, working and praying forchange to come.
and this ruling is a victory for america. this decision affirms what millions of americansalready believe in their hearts: when all americans are treated as equal we are all more free.
my administration has been guided by that idea. it"s why we stopped defending the so-calleddefense of marriage act, and why we were pleased when the court finally struck down a centralprovision of that discriminatory law. it"s why we ended "don"t ask, don"t tell." from e_tendingfull marital benefits to federal employees and their spouses, to e_panding hospital visitationrights for lgbt patients and their loved ones, we"ve made real progress in advancing equalityfor lgbt americans in ways that were unimaginable not too long ago.
i know change for many of our lgbt brothers and sisters must have seemed so slow for so long.but compared to so many other issues, america"s shift has been so quick. i know thatamericans of goodwill continue to hold a wide range of views on this issue. opposition insome cases has been based on sincere and deeply held beliefs. all of us who welcome today"snews should be mindful of that fact; recognize different viewpoints; revere our deepcommitment to religious freedom.
but today should also give us hope that on the many issues with which we grapple, oftenpainfully, real change is possible. shifts in hearts and minds is possible. and those who havecome so far on their journey to equality have a responsibility to reach back and help others jointhem. because for all our differences, we are one people, stronger together than we could everbe alone. that"s always been our story.
we are big and vast and diverse; a nation of people with different backgrounds and beliefs,different e_periences and stories, but bound by our shared ideal that no matter who you are orwhat you look like, how you started off, or how and who you love, america is a place where youcan write your own destiny.
we are a people who believe that every single child is entitled to life and liberty and thepursuit of happiness.
there"s so much more work to be done to e_tend the full promise of america to everyamerican. but today, we can say in no uncertain terms that we"ve made our union a little moreperfect.
that"s the consequence of a decision from the supreme court, but, more importantly, it is aconsequence of the countless small acts of courage of millions of people across decades whostood up, who came out, who talked to parents – parents who loved their children no matterwhat. folks who were willing to endure bullying and taunts, and stayed strong, and came tobelieve in themselves and who they were, and slowly made an entire country realize that love islove.
what an e_traordinary achievement. what a vindication of the belief that ordinary peoplecan do e_traordinary things. what a reminder of what bobby kennedy once said about howsmall actions can be like pebbles being thrown into a still lake, and ripples of hope cascadeoutwards and change the world.
those countless, often anonymous heroes – they deserve our thanks. they should be veryproud. america should be very proud.
thank you. (applause.)

good morning, everybody. (applause.) thank you, thank you, thank you very much. please,please have a seat. thank you so much. well, good morning, everybody.
welcome to the white house andwelcome to our annual easter prayer breakfast. as always,we are blessed to be joined by so many good friends fromaround the country. we"vegotdistinguished guests. we"ve got faithleaders, members of my administration who are here.and i will once again resist the temptationto preach to preachers. (laughter.) it never worksout well. i am reminded of the admonition from the bookof romans -- "do not claim to bewiser than you are." (laughter.) so this morning, i want to offer some very brief reflections aswe startthis easter season.
but as i was preparing myremarks, something intervened yesterday. and so i want to justdevote a few words about yesterday"s tragedy inkansas. this morning our prayers are withthepeople of overland park. and we"restill learning the details, but this much we know. a gunmanopened fire at two jewish facilities-- a community center and a retirement home. innocentpeople were killed. their families were devastated. and this violence has struck the heart ofthe jewish community in kansascity.
two of the victims -- agrandfather and his teenage [grand] son -- attended the unitedmethodist churchof the resurrection, which is led by our friend reverend adam hamilton.some of you may know that during myinauguration, reverend hamilton delivered the sermonat the prayer service atthe national cathedral. and i wasgrateful for his presence and hiswords. he joined us at our breakfast last year. and at the easter service for palm sunday lastnight, he had to breakthis terrible news to his congregation.
that this occurred now -- as jewswere preparing to celebrate passover, as christians wereobserving palm sunday--makes this tragedy all the more painful. and today, as passoverbegins, we"re seeing a number of synagogues andjewish community centers take addedsecurity precautions. nobody should have to worry about theirsecurity when gathering withtheir fellow believers. no one should ever have to fear for theirsafety when they go to pray.
and as a government, we"re goingto provide whatever assistance is needed to support theinvestigation. as americans, we not only need to open ourhearts to the families of the victims,we"ve got to stand united against thiskind of terrible violence, which has no place in oursociety. and we have to keep coming together acrossfaiths to combat the ignorance andintolerance, including anti-semitism thatcan lead to hatred and to violence, because we"reall children of god. we"re all made in his image, all worthy ofhis love and dignity. and we seewhathappens around the world when this kind of religious-based or tinged violencecan rear itsugly head. it"s got no placein our society.
so this easter week, of course werecognize that there"s a lot of pain and a lot of sin and alot of tragedy inthis world, but we"re also overwhelmed by the grace of an awesome god. we"rereminded how he loves us, so deeply,that he gave his only begotten son so that we might livethrough him. and in these holy days, we recall all thatjesus endured for us -- the scorn of thecrowds and the pain of thecrucifi_ion, in our christian religious tradition we celebrate theglory of theresurrection -- all so that we might be forgiven of our sins and grantedeverlastinglife.
and more than 2,000 years later,it inspires us still. we are drawn tohis timeless teachings,challenged to be worthy of his sacrifice, to emulate asbest we can his eternal e_ample tolove one another just as he loves us. and of course, we"re always reminded each andevery daythat we fall short of that e_ample. and none of us are free from sin, but we look to his life andstrive,knowing that "if we love one another, god lives in us, and his love isperfected in us."
i"ll tell you, i felt this spiritwhen i had the great honor of meeting his holiness, popefrancis,recently. i think it"s fair to say thatthose of us of the christian faith, regardless of ourdenomination, have beentouched and moved by pope francis. now,some of it is his words --his message of justice and inclusion, especially forthe poor and the outcast. he implores ustosee the inherent dignity in each human being. but it"s also his deeds, simple yet profound--hugging the homeless man, and washing the feet of somebody who normallyordinary folkswould just pass by on the street. he reminds us that all of us, no matter whatour station, havean obligation to live righteously, and that we all have anobligation to live humbly.becausethat"s, in fact, the e_ample that we profess to follow.
so i had a wonderful conversationwith pope francis, mostly about the imperatives ofaddressing poverty andinequality. and i invited him to come tothe united states, and isincerely hope he will. when we e_changed gifts he gave me a copy ofhis inspiring writings, "the joy of the gospel." and there is a passage that speaks to ustoday: "christ"s resurrection,"hewrites, "is not an event of the past; it contains a vital power which haspermeated this world."and he adds,"jesus did not rise in vain. may wenever remain on the sidelines of this march ofliving hope!"
so this morning, my main messageis just to say thank you to all of you, because you don"tremain on thesidelines. i want to thank you for yourministries, for your good works, for themarching you do for justice anddignity and inclusion, for the ministries that all of you attendto and havehelped organize throughout your communities each and every day to feedthehungry and house the homeless and educate children who so desperately need aneducation.you have made a difference inso many different ways, not only here in the united states butoverseas aswell. and that includes a cause close tomy heart, my brother"s keeper, an initiativethat we recently launched to makesure that more boys and young men of color can overcomethe odds and achievetheir dreams.
and we"re joined by several faithleaders who are doing outstanding work in this areamentoring and helping youngmen in tough neighborhoods. we"re alsojoined by some of theseyoung men who are working hard and trying to be goodstudents and good sons and goodcitizens. and i want to say to each of those young men here, we"re proud of you,and we e_pecta lot of you. and we"regoing to make sure that we"re there for you so that you then in turn willbethere for the ne_t generation of young men.
and i mention all this because ofall of our many partners for my brother"s keeper, it"s clergylike you and yourcongregations that can play a special role to be that spiritual andethicalfoundation, that rock that so many young men need in their lives.
so i want to thank all of you whoare already involved. i invite those whoare not to get moreinformation, see if you can join in this effort as brothersand sisters in christ who "never tire ofdoing good."
in closing, i"ll just recall thatold prayer that i think more than one preacher has invoked atthe pulpit: "lord, fill my mouth with worthwhile stuff,and nudge me when i"ve said enough." (laughter.) the almighty isnudging me. i thank you for joining usthis morning of prayer. iwish you all ablessed holy week and easter, and i"d like to invite my friend joel huntertodeliver the opening prayer. come on up,joel.

mr. vice president, mr. speaker, members of the senate, and of the house of representatives:
yesterday, december 7th, 1941 -- a date which will live in infamy -- the united states of america was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the empire of japan.
the united states was at peace with that nation and, at the solicitation of japan, was still in conversation with its government and its emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the pacific.
indeed, one hour after japanese air squadrons had commenced bombing in the american island of oahu, the japanese ambassador to the united states and his colleague delivered to our secretary of state a formal reply to a recent american message. and while this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the e_isting diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or of armed attack.
it will be recorded that the distance of hawaii from japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. during the intervening time, the japanese government has deliberately sought to deceive the united states by false statements and e_pressions of hope for continued peace.
the attack yesterday on the hawaiian islands has caused severe damage to american naval and military forces. i regret to tell you that very many american lives have been lost. in addition, american ships have been reported torpedoed on the high seas between san francisco and honolulu.
yesterday, the japanese government also launched an attack against malaya.
last night, japanese forces attacked hong kong.
last night, japanese forces attacked guam.
last night, japanese forces attacked the philippine islands.
last night, the japanese attacked wake island.
and this morning, the japanese attacked midway island.
japan has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive e_tending throughout the pacific area. the facts of yesterday and today speak for themselves. the people of the united states have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our nation.
fdrwarspeech.jpg
as commander in chief of the army and navy, i have directed that all measures be taken for our defense. but always will our whole nation remember the character of the onslaught against us.
no matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the american people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.

美国总统罗斯福珍珠港演讲稿(中文版)
副总统先生、议长先生、参众两院各位议员:
昨天, 1941年12月7日——必须永远记住这个耻辱的日子——美利坚合众国受到了日本帝国海空军突然的蓄意的进攻。美国和日本是和平相处的,根据日本的请求仍在同它的政府和进行会谈,以期维护太平洋和平。实际上,就在日本空军中队已经开始轰炸美国瓦湖岛之后的一小时,日本驻美国大使还向我们的国务卿提交了对美国最近致日方信函的正式答复。虽然复函声称继续现行外交谈判似已无用,但并未包含有关战争或武装进攻的威胁或暗示。
历史将会证明,夏威夷距日本这么遥远,表明这次进攻是经过许多天或甚至许多个星期精心策划的。在此期间,日本政府蓄意以虚伪的声明和表示继续维护和平的愿望来欺骗美国。
昨天对夏威夷岛的进攻给美国海陆军部队造成了严重的损害。我遗憾地告诉各位,很多美国人丧失了生命,此外,据报,美国船只在旧金山和火奴鲁鲁(檀香山)之间的公海上也遭到了鱼雷袭击。
昨天,日本政府已发动了对马来亚的进攻。
昨夜,日本军队进攻了香港。
昨夜,日本军队进攻了关岛。
昨夜,日本军队进攻了菲律宾群岛。
昨夜,日本人进攻了威克岛。
今晨,日本人进攻了中途岛。
因此,日本在整个太平洋区域采取了突然的攻势。昨天和今天的事实不言自明。美国的人民已经形成了自己的见解,并且十分清楚这关系到我们国家的安全和生存的本身。
作为陆海军,总司令,我已指示,为了我们的防务采取一切措施。
但是,我们整个国家都将永远记住这次对我们进攻的性质。不论要用多长时间才能战胜这次预谋的入侵,美国人民以自己的正义力量一定要赢得绝对的胜利。
我们现在预言,我们不仅要做出最大的努力来保卫我们自己,我们还将确保这种形式的背信弃义永远不会再危及我们。我这样说,相信是表达了国会和人民的意志。
敌对行动已经存在。无庸讳言,我国人民、我国领土和我国利益都处于严重危险之中。
相信我们的武装部队——依靠我国人民的坚定决心--我们将取得必然的胜利,愿上帝帮助我们!我要求国会宣布:自1941年12月7日星期日日本发动无端的、卑鄙的进攻时起,美国和日本帝国之间已处于战争状态。

【2024年感恩节英语演讲稿】
hi, everybody. on behalf of all the obamas – michelle, malia, sasha, bo, and the newest member of our family, sunny – i want to wish you a happy and healthy thanksgiving.
大家好!我代表我们家所有人——米歇尔、玛利亚、萨莎、波尔以及新添成员桑尼,祝愿大家有一个快乐舒适的感恩节。
we’ll be spending today just like many of you – sitting down with family and friends to eat some good food, tell stories, watch a little football, and most importantly, count our blessings.
我们今天会和家人朋友一起享用美味的食物、讲故事、看点足球比赛,最重要的是,感恩——就像你们大多数人一样。
and as americans, we have so much to be thankful for.
作为美国人,我们有那么多值得感恩的东西。
we give thanks for the men and women who set sail for this land nearly four centuries ago, risking everything for the chance at a better life – and the people who were already here, our native american brothers and sisters, for their generosity during that first thanksgiving.
我们对近42024年前航行到这片土地的人们表达感谢,因为他们为了寻求更好的生活,甘冒一切风险。我们还要感激已经在这片土地上的,我们的原住民印第安兄弟姐妹们,感激他们在第一次感恩节上的慷慨大度。
we give thanks for the generations who followed – people of all races and religions, who arrived here from every country on earth and worked to build something better for themselves and for us.
我们对相继而来的世世代代的人们表达感激。来自世界各国的人们——来自不同民族并有着不同宗教信仰,齐心协力为他们自己和我们建筑起更美好的将来。
we give thanks for all our men and women in uniform – and for their families, who are surely missing them very much today. we’re grateful for their sacrifice too.
我们对穿制服为我们服务的人们表达谢意,对今天必定无比想念他们的亲人表达谢意。我们感激他们的牺牲。
we give thanks for the freedoms they defend – the freedom to think what we want and say what we think, to worship according to our own beliefs, to choose our leaders and, yes, criticize them without punishment. people around the world are fighting and even dying for their chance at these freedoms. we stand with them in that struggle, and we give thanks for being free.
我们感恩他们所捍卫的自由——让我们敢想敢说的自由、让我们选择信仰的自由、让我们选择自己的领导人的自由,以及,不受惩罚地批评领导人的自由。世界各国人民都在为有这些自由而奋斗甚至牺牲。我们和他们站在同一战线上,我们为自由而感恩。
and we give thanks to everyone who’s doing their part to make the united states a better, more compassionate nation – who spend their thanksgiving volunteering at a soup kitchen, or joining a service project, or bringing food and cheer to a lonely neighbor. that big-hearted generosity is a central part of our american character. we believe in lending a hand to folks who need it. we believe in pitching in to solve problems even if they aren’t our problems. and that’s not a one-day-a-year belief. it’s part of the fabric of our nation.
而且,我们感恩所有让美国成为更强大并且更富同情心的国家而尽责职守的人们——那些感恩节在救济所参加志愿服务的人,或者参加服务项目的人,或者给孤单的邻居送去食物和鼓励的人。这样的大度慷慨是我们美国人性格中的核心部分。我们愿意给需要的人以援手,我们愿意路见不平拔刀相助。这些不是一年一次的想法,这是我们国家的构成。
and we remember that many americans need that helping hand right now. americans who’ve lost their jobs and can’t get a new one through no fault of their own. americans who’ve been trapped in poverty and just need that helping hand to climb out. citizens whose prayers and hopes move us to act.
我们牢记着许多美国人现在需要帮助。那些失去工作而且没有丝毫过错却找不到新工作的美国人,那些深陷贫困而且急需救援之手的美国人。正是这些公民的祈祷和希望促使我们行动。
we are a people who are greater together than we are on our own. that’s what today is about. that’s what every day should be about. no matter our differences, we’re all part of one american family. we are each other’s keeper. we are one nation, under god. that core tenet of our american e_perience has guided us from the earliest days of our founding – and it will guide us to a future that’s even brighter than today.
我们是一个团结胜过单独行动的国家。今天如此,每天都如此。不管我们多么不同,我们都是美国大家庭的一份子。我们是彼此的守护者。我们是上帝庇佑的一个国家。我们美国历史实践出的这个核心信条将带领我们走向比今天更辉煌的未来,从建国初期到将来都是如此。
thank you, god bless you, and from my family to yours, happy thanksgiving.
谢谢,上帝保佑你。还有我们全家想对大家表示感恩节快乐。

hello, mustangs! (applause.) fantastic. well, everybody have a seat. have a seat. thank you, leah, for the great introduction. give leah a big round of applause. yay! (applause.) meeting young people like leah just makes me inspired. it’s a good way to start the week. and all of the students here who are discovering and e_ploring new ideas is one of the reasons i love visiting schools like bladensburg high. and so i just want to congratulate all of you for the great work that you’re doing.
i brought a couple of folks here who are helping to facilitate some of the programs here. mynew deputy secretary of labor, chris lu, is here. give him a big round of applause. (applause.) and some of the biggest champions for education in prince george’s county arehere, including your governor, martin o’malley. (applause.) county e_ecutive rushern baker. (applause.) mayor walter james. (applause.) superintendent kevin ma_well. (applause.) yourbiggest fans in congress, donna edwards and steny hoyer. (applause.) we are proud of all ofthem, and we’re proud of you.
all of you remind me, all these young people here, that young people today are working oncooler stuff than they were when i was in high school. in classrooms across the country,students just like the students here, they’re working hard, they’re setting their sights high.and we’ve got to do everything we can to make sure that all of you have a chance to succeed.and that’s why your outstanding principal, aisha mahoney, is working so hard at this school. (applause.) that’s why governor o’malley has been working so hard to repair old schools andbuild new ones across the state of maryland. and that’s why i’m here today. because last year,we launched a national competition to redesign america’s high schools for the 21st century --the 21st century economy. and i’m proud to say that your hard work here has paid off, becauseone of the winners is prince george’s county. (applause.) good job. that’s right, you guys havedone great. (applause.)
now, let me tell you why this is so important. many of the young people here, you’ve grown upin the midst of one of the worst economic crises of our lifetimes. and it’s been hard and it’sbeen painful. there are a lot of families that lost their homes, lost jobs; a lot of families that arestill hurting out there. but the work that we’ve done, the groundwork that we’ve laid, hascreated a situation where we’re moving in the right direction. our businesses have createdalmost 9 million new jobs over the last four years. our high school graduation rate is thehighest on record. dropout rates are going down; among latinos, the dropout rate has been cutin half since 2024. (applause.) more young people are earning college degrees than ever before.we’ve been bringing troops home from two wars. more than 7 million americans have nowsigned up for health coverage through the affordable care act. (applause.)
so we’ve been making progress, but we’ve got more work to do to make sure that every one ofthese young people, that everybody who is willing to work hard has the chance to get ahead.we’ve got to make sure that our economy works for everybody, not just a few. we’ve got tomake sure opportunity e_ists for all people. no matter who you are, no matter where youstarted out, you’ve got to have confidence that if you work hard and take responsibility, youcan make it.
and that’s the chance that this country gave me. it’s the chance that this country gavemichelle. and that’s why we’re working so hard for what we call an opportunity agenda -- onethat gives everybody a shot. and there are four simple goals: we want to create new jobs. wewant to make sure that people have the skills to fill those jobs. we want to make sure everyyoung person has a world-class education. and we want to make sure that we reward hard workwith things like health care you can count on and wages you can live on.
and maryland and governor o’malley have been working alongside us on these issues, and iwant to give a special shout-out to the maryland legislature because, because of governoro’malley’s leadership, you are helping to make sure that we are raising more people’s wageswith your push to raise your minimum wage right here in maryland. (applause.) we’re veryproud to see that happen. and i hope governor o’malley is going to sign it into law soon. givemaryland a raise. (applause.) that’s good work.
but the main focus here is guaranteeing every young person has access to a world-classeducation. every single student. now, that starts before high school. we’ve got to start at theyoungest ages by making sure we’ve got high-quality preschool and other early learningprograms for every young child in america. (applause.) it makes a difference.
we’ve got to make sure that every student has access to the world’s information and the world’sbest technology, and that’s why we’re moving forward with an initiative we call connected tofinally connect 99 percent of america’s students to high-speed internet in the ne_t few years. (applause.) it means that we’ve got to rein in college costs -- because i want to make sure thatleah, when she goes to school, she’s not burdened with too much debt. (applause.) and we’vegot to make it easier to repay student loans -- because none of the young people here should bedenied a higher education just because your family has trouble affording it. and a world-classeducation means preparing every young person with the skills they need for college, for acareer, and for a lifetime of citizenship.
so what we did was we launched a new competition, backed by america’s departments ofeducation and labor, to start redesigning some of our high schools. we call it youthcareerconnect. and we’re offering $100 million in new grants to help schools and local partnersdevelop and test new curricula and models for success. we want to invest in your future.
you guys are all coming up in an age where you’re not going to be able to compete with peopleacross town for good jobs -- you’re going to be competing with the rest of the world. youngpeople in india and china, they’re all interested in trying to figure out how they get a footholdin this world economy. that’s who you’re competing against. now, i’m confident you canmatch or e_ceed anything they do, but we don’t do it by just resting on what we’ve donebefore. we’ve got to out-work and out-innovate and out-hustle everybody else. we’ve got tothink about new ways of doing things.
and part of our concern has been our high schools, a lot of them were designed withcurriculums based on the 1940s and ‘50s and ‘60s, and haven’t been updated. so the ideabehind this competition is how do we start making high school, in particular, moreinteresting, more e_citing, more relevant to young people.
last year, for e_ample, i visited a school called p-tech --- this is in brooklyn -- a high schoolthat partnered with ibm and the city university of new york to offer its students not only a highschool diploma, but also an associate’s degree in computer systems or electromechanicalengineering. ibm said that p-tech graduates would be the first in line for jobs.
then i visited a high school in nashville that offers "academies" where students focus on aspecific subject area -- but they’re also getting hands-on e_perience running their own creditunion, working in their own tv studios, learning 3d printing, tinkering with their own airplane -- which was pretty cool. i never got to do that. i did get my own airplane later in life. (laughter.) although i’ve got to give it back. (laughter.) i don’t get to keep it.
but this is stuff i didn’t get to do when i was in high school -- and i wish i had. but it’s stuffyou have to know how to do today, in today’s economy. things are moving faster, they’re moresophisticated.
so we challenged america’s high schools to look at what’s happening in a place like p-tech,look at what’s happening in cities like nashville, and then say what can you do to make sureyour students learn the skills that businesses are looking for in high-demand fields. and weasked high schools to develop partnerships with colleges and employers, and create classes thatfocus on real-life applications for the fields of the future -- fields like science and technology andengineering and math. and part of the reason we have to do this now is because othercountries, they’ve got a little bit of a lead on us on some of these areas.
a country like germany right now focuses on graduating their high school students with atechnical degree equivalent that give them a head start. so we’re asking schools to look intowhat places like germany are doing.
now, not every school that enters into this competition for the $100 million is going to win --because we don’t have enough money for everybody, and we want to force schools to think hardand redesign, and we want to reward the schools that are being most innovative and areactually proving some of the concepts that they’re trying out. but the great thing is thatthrough this competition, schools across the country that entered have changed the way theyprepare their students, and have already made enormous improvements, even before they getthe grant. and, ultimately, we had to choose the top youth careerconnect initiatives. today,i’m proud to say that schools across america are putting up some pretty impressive proposals.
the winners across the board are doing the kinds of stuff that will allow other schools to startduplicating what they’re doing. the winners in indianapolis are e_panding their career prepprograms to encourage more young women and kids from diverse backgrounds to join ourscience and technology workforce. new york city likes that brooklyn high school model, p-tech,so much that they’re using their grant to fund two more just like it, so that students can gaintwo degrees at once and get the edge they need in today’s high-tech, high-speed economy. andas i mentioned earlier, one of our 24 winners is a three-school team including your high school.mustangs, you guys are part of the team that won! (applause.) that’s good.
now, in part, the reason you won is because you guys were ahead of the curve. you werealready winning. for a couple years now, your career academies have been integratingclassroom learning with ready-to-work skills, and you’re preparing students to move directlyinto the in-demand jobs of the future -- jobs in it and biosciences and hospitality. and nowyou’re stepping it up. you’re taking it to another level. so in the classroom i just visited, youhad 10th graders -- although there was also a freshman -- who are studying epidemiology -- thestudy of disease patterns and outbreaks. and they’re getting potentially college-level creditfor it, which is good because they may be the young people who discover a cure for somedisease down the line that we don’t even know about yet.
i know our brilliant scientists at the national institutes of health and the centers for diseasecontrol, they’d be proud of you. they like looking at bacteria. (laughter.) and i got a littleworried when i went into the classroom -- everybody was wearing goggles and vests, and ididn’t have my goggles. (laughter.) but they assured me it was safe. but some of youmustangs are pushing yourselves to get industry-recognized certifications in nursing, whileother students on this winning team are studying cutting-edge technology and getting hands-on internship e_perience at local businesses. and we know these are skills that will be indemand. companies will come looking to hire you because of the e_periences you’ve gottenhere.
if you’re focused, if you’re working hard, you now have a platform so that by the time you getout of high school you’re already ahead of the game; you’re already in a position where you’vegot some skills that make you employable. and then you can just take it further, whether it’s atwo-year college or a four-year college, or graduate school. or there are a couple of young ladiesin there who said they want to be neurosurgeons, psychiatrists. so you can build on thesecareers, but the point is you have a baseline where you know if you’re focused here at thisschool, doing your work, you’re going to be able to find a job.
and the grants that you’ve won in this youth careerconnect competition mean that theprograms you’ve started are going to e_pand, and you’re going to get more college and careercounseling to help get you a jump on your post-high school plans. so a little over four yearsfrom now, bladensburg and your partner schools will graduate hundreds more students withthe knowledge and skills that you’ll need to succeed.
and that’s what we want for all the young people here. we want an education that engagesyou; we want an education that equips you with the rigorous and relevant skills for collegeand for a career.
and i’m confident -- meeting these young people, they were incredible. and a couple of themgiggled a little bit when i walked in, but after they kind of settled down -- (laughter) -- theywere -- they knew their stuff, and they were enjoying it. and that’s part of the message i’ve gotfor all the young people here today, is your potential for success is so high as long as you stayfocused. as long as you’re clear about your goals, you’re going to succeed.
and my message to the older people here -- like me -- is we’ve got a collective responsibilityto make sure that you’re getting those opportunities. and there are resources out there thatwe’ve got to pull into the school setting. businesses, foundations around the country, theywant to fund more careerconnect programs -- because it’s in their interest. they want goodemployees. they’re looking for folks with skills.
when you can say, hey, the math that i’m doing here could change the way the businessoperates; or, i see how this biology e_periment could help develop a drug that cures a disease -- that’s a door opening in your imagination. it’s also good for our economy. it’s good for ourbusinesses. that’s a new career path you’re thinking about that allows you to pursue highereducation in that field, or the very training you need to get a good job, or create a new businessthat changes the world. that’s good for our economy, it’s good for business, it’s good for you,it’s good for america.
as a country, we’ve got to do everything we can to make sure that every single young personhere can have that "aha" moment, that light bulb goes off and suddenly you’re not juststudying because your parents tell you to or your teacher tells you to, you’re studying becauseyou know you’ve got something to offer.
and i want to make sure every student in america has a chance to get that moment -- thatrealization that your education can not just unlock your future and take you places you neverimagined, but you’re also going to be leading this country. that’s the chance that this countrygave to me and michelle. and that’s the chance i want for every single one of you. frompreschool for every four-year-old in america, to higher education for everybody who wants togo, every young person deserves a fair shot. and i’m going to keep on doing everything i can tomake sure you get that shot and to keep america a place where you can make it if you try.
i’m proud of your principal. i’m proud of your superintendent. i’m proud of everybody who gotinvolved in making sure that you guys were already doing the right thing before you won thisnew grant -- and i know it’s going to be well-spent. most of all, i’m proud of the students.
thank you very much, everybody. god bless you. (applause.) go, mustangs! all right. (applause.)

美国总统罗斯福就职演讲稿(英文版)
president hoover, mr. chief justice, my friends:
this is a day of national consecration. and i am certain that on this day my fellow americans e_pect that on my induction into the presidency, i will address them with a candor and a decision which the present situation of our people impels.
this is preeminently the time to speak the truth, the whole truth, frankly and boldly. nor need we shrink from honestly facing conditions in our country today. this great nation will endure, as it has endured, will revive and will prosper.
so, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself -- nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. in every dark hour of our national life, a leadership of frankness and of vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves which is essential to victory. and i am convinced that you will again give that support to leadership in these critical days.
in such a spirit on my part and on yours we face our common difficulties. they concern, thank god, only material things. values have shrunk to fantastic levels; ta_es have risen; our ability to pay has fallen; government of all kinds is faced by serious curtailment of income; the means of e_change are frozen in the currents of trade; the withered leaves of industrial enterprise lie on every side; farmers find no markets for their produce; and the savings of many years in thousands of families are gone. more important, a host of unemployed citizens face the grim problem of e_istence, and an equally great number toil with little return. only a foolish optimist can deny the dark realities of the moment.
and yet our distress comes from no failure of substance. we are stricken by no plague of locusts. compared with the perils which our forefathers conquered, because they believed and were not afraid, we have still much to be thankful for. nature still offers her bounty and human efforts have multiplied it. plenty is at our doorstep, but a generous use of it languishes in the very sight of the supply.
primarily, this is because the rulers of the e_change of mankind"s goods have failed, through their own stubbornness and their own incompetence, have admitted their failure, and have abdicated. practices of the unscrupulous money changers stand indicted in the court of public opinion, rejected by the hearts and minds of men.
true, they have tried. but their efforts have been cast in the pattern of an outworn tradition. faced by failure of credit, they have proposed only the lending of more money. stripped of the lure of profit by which to induce our people to follow their false leadership, they have resorted to e_hortations, pleading tearfully for restored confidence. they only know the rules of a generation of self-seekers. they have no vision, and when there is no vision the people perish.
yes, the money changers have fled from their high seats in the temple of our civilization. we may now restore that temple to the ancient truths. the measure of that restoration lies in the e_tent to which we apply social values more noble than mere monetary profit.
happiness lies not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort. the joy, the moral stimulation of work no longer must be forgotten in the mad chase of evanescent profits. these dark days, my friends, will be worth all they cost us if they teach us that our true destiny is not to be ministered unto but to minister to ourselves, to our fellow men.
recognition of that falsity of material wealth as the standard of success goes hand in hand with the abandonment of the false belief that public office and high political position are to be valued only by the standards of pride of place and personal profit; and there must be an end to a conduct in banking and in business which too often has given to a sacred trust the likeness of callous and selfish wrongdoing. small wonder that confidence languishes, for it thrives only on honesty, on honor, on the sacredness of obligations, on faithful protection, and on unselfish performance; without them it cannot live.
restoration calls, however, not for changes in ethics alone. this nation is asking for action, and action now.
our greatest primary task is to put people to work. this is no unsolvable problem if we face it wisely and courageously. it can be accomplished in part by direct recruiting by the government itself, treating the task as we would treat the emergency of a war, but at the same time, through this employment, accomplishing great -- greatly needed projects to stimulate and reorganize the use of our great natural resources.
hand in hand with that we must frankly recognize the overbalance of population in our industrial centers and, by engaging on a national scale in a redistribution, endeavor to provide a better use of the land for those best fitted for the land.
yes, the task can be helped by definite efforts to raise the values of agricultural products, and with this the power to purchase the output of our cities. it can be helped by preventing realistically the tragedy of the growing loss through foreclosure of our small homes and our farms. it can be helped by insistence that the federal, the state, and the local governments act forthwith on the demand that their cost be drastically reduced. it can be helped by the unifying of relief activities which today are often scattered, uneconomical, unequal. it can be helped by national planning for and supervision of all forms of transportation and of communications and other utilities that have a definitely public character. there are many ways in which it can be helped, but it can never be helped by merely talking about it.
we must act. we must act quickly.
and finally, in our progress towards a resumption of work, we require two safeguards against a return of the evils of the old order. there must be a strict supervision of all banking and credits and investments. there must be an end to speculation with other people"s money. and there must be provision for an adequate but sound currency.
these, my friends, are the lines of attack. i shall presently urge upon a new congress in special session detailed measures for their fulfillment, and i shall seek the immediate assistance of the 48 states.
through this program of action we address ourselves to putting our own national house in order and making income balance outgo. our international trade relations, though vastly important, are in point of time, and necessity, secondary to the establishment of a sound national economy. i favor, as a practical policy, the putting of first things first. i shall spare no effort to restore world trade by international economic readjustment; but the emergency at home cannot wait on that accomplishment.
the basic thought that guides these specific means of national recovery is not nationally -- narrowly nationalistic. it is the insistence, as a first consideration, upon the interdependence of the various elements in and parts of the united states of america -- a recognition of the old and permanently important manifestation of the american spirit of the pioneer. it is the way to recovery. it is the immediate way. it is the strongest assurance that recovery will endure.
in the field of world policy, i would dedicate this nation to the policy of the good neighbor: the neighbor who resolutely respects himself and, because he does so, respects the rights of others; the neighbor who respects his obligations and respects the sanctity of his agreements in and with a world of neighbors.
if i read the temper of our people correctly, we now realize, as we have never realized before, our interdependence on each other; that we can not merely take, but we must give as well; that if we are to go forward, we must move as a trained and loyal army willing to sacrifice for the good of a common discipline, because without such discipline no progress can be made, no leadership becomes effective.
we are, i know, ready and willing to submit our lives and our property to such discipline, because it makes possible a leadership which aims at the larger good. this, i propose to offer, pledging that the larger purposes will bind upon us, bind upon us all as a sacred obligation with a unity of duty hitherto evoked only in times of armed strife.
with this pledge taken, i assume unhesitatingly the leadership of this great army of our people dedicated to a disciplined attack upon our common problems.
action in this image, action to this end is feasible under the form of government which we have inherited from our ancestors. our constitution is so simple, so practical that it is possible always to meet e_traordinary needs by changes in emphasis and arrangement without loss of essential form. that is why our constitutional system has proved itself the most superbly enduring political mechanism the modern world has ever seen.
it has met every stress of vast e_pansion of territory, of foreign wars, of bitter internal strife, of world relations. and it is to be hoped that the normal balance of e_ecutive and legislative authority may be wholly equal, wholly adequate to meet the unprecedented task before us. but it may be that an unprecedented demand and need for undelayed action may call for temporary departure from that normal balance of public procedure.
i am prepared under my constitutional duty to recommend the measures that a stricken nation in the midst of a stricken world may require. these measures, or such other measures as the congress may build out of its e_perience and wisdom, i shall seek, within my constitutional authority, to bring to speedy adoption.
but, in the event that the congress shall fail to take one of these two courses, in the event that the national emergency is still critical, i shall not evade the clear course of duty that will then confront me. i shall ask the congress for the one remaining instrument to meet the crisis -- broad e_ecutive power to wage a war against the emergency, as great as the power that would be given to me if we were in fact invaded by a foreign foe.
for the trust reposed in me, i will return the courage and the devotion that befit the time. i can do no less.
we face the arduous days that lie before us in the warm courage of national unity; with the clear consciousness of seeking old and precious moral values; with the clean satisfaction that comes from the stern performance of duty by old and young alike. we aim at the assurance of a rounded, a permanent national life.
we do not distrust the -- the future of essential democracy. the people of the united states have not failed. in their need they have registered a mandate that they want direct, vigorous action. they have asked for discipline and direction under leadership. they have made me the present instrument of their wishes. in the spirit of the gift i take it.
in this dedication -- in this dedication of a nation, we humbly ask the blessing of god.
may he protect each and every one of us.
may he guide me in the days to come.
美国总统罗斯福就职演讲稿(中文版)
胡佛总统,首席法官先生,朋友们:
今天,对我们的国家来说,是一个神圣的日子。我肯定,同胞们都期待我在就任总统时,会像我国目前形势所要求的那样,坦率而果断地向他们讲话。现在正是坦白、勇敢地说出实话,说出全部实话的最好时刻。我们不必畏首畏尾,不老老实实面对我国今天的情况。这个伟大的国家会一如既往地坚持下去,它会复兴和繁荣起来。因此,让我首先表明我的坚定信念:我们唯一不得不害怕的就是害怕本身--一种莫名其妙、丧失理智的、毫无根据的恐惧,它把人转退为进所需的种种努力化为泡影。凡在我国生活阴云密布的时刻,坦率而有活力的领导都得到过人民的理解和支持,从而为胜利准备了必不可少的条件。我相信,在目前危急时刻,大家会再次给予同样的支持。
我和你们都要以这种精神,来面对我们共同的困难。感谢上帝,这些困难只是物质方面的。价值难以想象地贬缩了;课税增加了;我们的支付能力下降了;各级政府面临着严重的收入短缺;交换手段在贸易过程中遭到了冻结;工业企业枯萎的落叶到处可见;农场主的产品找不到销路;千家万户多年的积蓄付之东流。
更重要的是,大批失业公民正面临严峻的生存问题,还有大批公民正以艰辛的劳动换取微薄的报酬。只有愚蠢的乐天派会否认当前这些阴暗的现实。
但是,我们的苦恼决不是因为缺乏物资。我们没有遭到什么蝗虫的灾害。我们的先辈曾以信念和无畏一次次转危为安,比起他们经历过的险阻,我们仍大可感到欣慰。大自然仍在给予我们恩惠,人类的努力已使之倍增。富足的情景近在咫尺,但就在我们见到这种 情景的时候,宽裕的生活却悄然离去。这主要是因为主宰人类物资交换的统治者们失败了,他们固执己见而又无能为力,因而已经认定失败了,并撒手不管了。贪得无厌的货币兑换商的种种行径。将受到舆论法庭的起诉,将受到人类心灵理智的唾弃。
是的,他们是努力过,然而他们用的是一种完全过时的方法。面对信贷的失败,他们只是提议借出更多的钱。没有了当诱饵引诱 人民追随他们的错误领导的金钱,他们只得求助于讲道,含泪祈求人民重新给予他们信心。他们只知自我追求者们的处世规则。他们没有眼光,而没有眼光的人是要灭亡的。
如今,货币兑换商已从我们文明庙宇的高处落荒而逃。我们要以千古不变的真理来重建这座庙宇。衡量这重建的尺度是我们体现比金钱利益更高尚的社会价值的程度。
幸福并不在于单纯地占有金钱;幸福还在于取得成就后的喜悦,在于创造努力时的激情。务必不能再忘记劳动带来的喜悦和激励,而去疯狂地追逐那转瞬即逝的利润。如果这些暗淡的时日能使我们认识到,我们真正的天命不是要别人侍奉,而是为自己和同胞们服务,那么,我们付出的代价就完全是值得的。
认识到把物质财富当作成功的标准是错误的,我们就会抛弃以地位尊严和个人收益为唯一标准,来衡量公职和高级政治地位的错误信念;我们必须制止银行界和企业界的一种行为,它常常使神圣的委托混同于无情和自私的不正当行为。难怪信心在减弱,信心,只有靠诚实、信誉、忠心维护和无私履行职责。而没有这些,就不可能有信心。
但是,复兴不仅仅只要改变伦理观念。这个国家要求行动起来,现在就行动起来。
我们最大、最基本的任务是让人民投入工作。只要我信行之以智慧和勇气,这个问题就可以解决。这可以部分由政府直接征募完成,就象对待临战的紧要关头一样,但同时,在有了人手的情况下,我们还急需能刺激并重组巨大自然资源的工程。
我们齐心协力,但必须坦白地承认工业中心的人口失衡,我们必须在全国范围内重新分配,使土地在最适合的人手中发表挥更大作用。
明确地为提高农产品价值并以此购买城市产品所做的努力,会有助于任务的完成。避免许多小家庭业、农场业被取消赎取抵押品的权利的悲剧也有助于任务的完成。联邦、州、各地政府立即行动回应要求降价的呼声,有助于任务的完成。将现在常常是分散不经济、不平等的救济活动统一起来有助于任务的完成。对所有公共交通运输,通讯及其他涉及公众生活的设施作全国性的计划及监督有助于任务的完成。许多事情都有助于任务完成,但这些决不包括空谈。我们必须行动,立即行动。
最后,为了重新开始工作,我们需要两手防御,来抗御旧秩序恶魔卷土从来;一定要有严格监督银行业、信贷及投资的机制:一定要杜绝投机;一定要有充足而健康的货币供应。
以上这些,朋友们,就是施政方针。我要在特别会议上敦促新国会给予详细实施方案,并且,我要向18个州请求立即的援助。
通过行动,我们将予以我们自己一个有秩序的国家大厦,使收入大于支出。我们的国际贸易,虽然很重要,但现在在时间和必要性上,次于对本国健康经济的建立。我建议,作为可行的策略、首要事务先行。虽然我将不遗余力通过国际经济重新协调所来恢复国际贸易,但我认为国内的紧急情况无法等待这重新协调的完成。
指导这一特别的全国性复苏的基本思想并非狭隘的国家主义。我首先考虑的是坚持美国这一整体中各部分的相互依赖性--这是对美国式的开拓精神的古老而永恒的证明的体现。这才是复苏之路,是即时之路,是保证复苏功效持久之路。
在国际政策方面,我将使美国采取睦邻友好的政策。做一个决心自重,因此而尊重邻国的国家。做一个履行义务,尊重与他国协约的国家。
如果我对人民的心情的了解正确的话,我想我们已认识到了我们从未认识的问题,我们是互相依存的,我们不可以只索取,我们还必须奉献。我们前进时,必须象一支训练有素的忠诚的军队,愿意为共同的原则而献身,因为,没有这些原则,就无法取得进步,领导就不可能得力。我们都已做好准备,并愿意为此原则献出生命和财产,因为这将使志在建设更美好社会的领导成为可能。我倡议,为了更伟大的目标,我们所有的人,以一致的职责紧紧团结起来。这是神圣的义务,非战乱,不停止。
有了这样的誓言,我将毫不犹豫地承担领导伟大人民大军的任务,致力于对我们普遍问题的强攻。这样的行动,这样的目标,在我们从祖先手中接过的政府中是可行的。我们的宪法如此简单,实在。它随时可以应付特殊情况,只需对重点和安排加以修改而不丧失中心思想,正因为如此,我们的宪法体制已自证为是最有适应性的政治体制。它已应付过巨大的国土扩张、外战、内乱及国际关系所带来的压力。
而我们还希望行使法律的人士做到充分的平等,能充分地担负前所未有的任务。但现在前所未有的对紧急行动的需要要求国民暂时丢弃平常生活节奏,紧迫起来。
让我们正视面前的严峻岁月,怀着举国一致给我们带来的热情和勇气,怀着寻求传统的、珍贵的道德观念的明确意识,怀着老老少少都能通过克尽职守而得到的问心无愧的满足。我们的目标是要保证国民生活的圆满和长治久安。
我们并不怀疑基本民主制度的未来。合众国人民并没有失败。他们在困难中表达了自己的委托,即要求采取直接而有力的行动。他们要求有领导的纪律和方向。他们现在选择了我作为实现他们的愿望的工具。我接受这份厚赠。
在此举国奉献之际,我们谦卑地请求上帝赐福。愿上帝保信我们大家和每一个人,愿上帝在未来的日子里指引我。

good evening, everybody. i just want to make a fewbrief comments about the attacks across paristonight. once again, we"ve seen an outrageousattempt to terrorize innocent civilians. this is anattack not just on paris, it"s an attack not just on thepeople of france, but this is an attack on all ofhumanity and the universal values that we share.
we stand prepared and ready to provide whateverassistance that the government and the people offrance need to respond. france is our oldest ally.the french people have stood shoulder to shoulder with the united states time and again.and we want to be very clear that we stand together with them in the fight against terrorismand e_tremism.
paris itself represents the timeless values of human progress. those who think that they canterrorize the people of france or the values that they stand for are wrong. the american peopledraw strength from the french people"s commitment to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness.we are reminded in this time of tragedy that the bonds of liberté and égalité and fraternité arenot only values that the french people care so deeply about, but they are values that we share.and those values are going to endure far beyond any act of terrorism or the hateful vision ofthose who perpetrated the crimes this evening.
we"re going to do whatever it takes to work with the french people and with nations around theworld to bring these terrorists to justice, and to go after any terrorist networks that go after ourpeople.
we don"t yet know all the details of what has happened. we have been in contact with frenchofficials to communicate our deepest condolences to the families of those who have beenkilled, to offer our prayers and thoughts to those who have been wounded. we have offered ourfull support to them. the situation is still unfolding. i"ve chosen not to call president hollande atthis time, because my e_pectation is that he"s very busy at the moment. i actually, bycoincidence, was talking to him earlier today in preparation for the g20 meeting. but i amconfident that i"ll be in direct communications with him in the ne_t few days, and we"ll becoordinating in any ways that they think are helpful in the investigation of what"s happened.
this is a heartbreaking situation. and obviously those of us here in the united states know whatit"s like. we"ve gone through these kinds of episodes ourselves. and whenever these kinds ofattacks happened, we"ve always been able to count on the french people to stand with us. theyhave been an e_traordinary counterterrorism partner, and we intend to be there with themin that same fashion.
i"m sure that in the days ahead we"ll learn more about e_actly what happened, and my teamswill make sure that we are in communication with the press to provide you accurateinformation. i don"t want to speculate at this point in terms of who was responsible for this. itappears that there may still be live activity and dangers that are taking place as we speak. andso until we know from french officials that the situation is under control, and we have for moreinformation about it, i don"t want to speculate.
thank you very much.

the president: hello, everybody! (applause.) can everybody please give lisbeth a biground of applause? that was a great introduction. (applause.)
happy halloween, everybody. i see a lot of you came as college students. (applause.)
audience member: we love you!
the president: i love you, too. those of you who have seats, feel free to sit down. those ofyou who don’t, don’t. (laughter.) i am not going to be too long. i’ve got to get back and trick-or-treat tonight with michelle. although, malia and sasha are a little old --
audience: aww --
the president: it’s so sad. (laughter.) i used to be able to -- we’d dress them up, and westill have the pictures. they’ll resent them later, but at the time they were fine with it. theywere so cute.
a good thing about being president is we never run out of presidential m&ms -- (laughter) -- so we’re going to be giving those out.
audience: (inaudible.) (laughter.)
the president: you want some? is that what you said? only to kids. (laughter.)
we’re so proud of lisbeth, not just for the wonderful introduction but for being so determinedabout her education. and she’s a really remarkable young lady. i had a chance to speak to herbefore we came out. it turns out she went to school with my niece and nephew --
audience member: classical!
the president: that’s right. at classical, is that right? so that was neat.
i have also brought some halloween characters with me: our secretary of labor, tom perez. (applause.) they are all dressed up as really outstanding public servants. (laughter.) andtom has just been doing e_traordinary work. his lovely daughter is there, who’s a freshman atbrown. your great senators, jack reed and sheldon whitehouse. (applause.) your outstandingcongressman, david cicilline, is here. (applause.) jim langevin is here. (applause.) and we’reproud of both of them.
but despite how much i love all the folks i just mentioned, the people i really came to see isyou. (applause.) because every decision i make every single day -- all the policies i pursue aspresident -- are all aimed at making sure we restore the promise of this country for yourgeneration and for every generation that comes after.
now, the good news is we’ve made a lot of progress since the worst economic crisis of ourlifetimes. so when i first came into office, the economy was in a freefall, the auto industry wasin a freefall. banks were frozen up. we were losing 800,000 jobs a month. over the past 55months, our businesses have now added 10.3 million new jobs. (applause.) for the first time inmore than si_ years, the unemployment rate is below 6 percent. over the past si_ months,our economy has grown at its fastest pace in more than 10 years.
and in education, dropout rates are down, the national graduation rate is the highest on record,more young people are earning their college degrees than ever before. (applause.) good job,young people.
in energy, we’re less dependent on foreign oil than any time in nearly three decades.manufacturing -- the quintessential producer of middle-class jobs, the heart of rhode island’seconomy for decades -- manufacturing has now created 700,000 new jobs since early 2024. tenmillion americans have gained the peace of mind that comes with having health insurance. (applause.)
audience member: thank you!
the president: you’re welcome.
deficits have come down. health care inflation has come down. there’s almost no economicmeasure by which we haven’t made substantial progress over this period of time. we’rebetter off than we were. (applause.)
so, look, the progress has been hard. it’s sometimes been challenging in particular states.but it’s been steady and it’s been real. now, the thing is, though, what’s also true is thatmillions of americans don’t yet feel the benefits of a growing economy where it matters most --and that’s in their own lives. there are still a lot of folks who are working hard, but havingtrouble making ends meet.
i know that many of you are working while you go to school. some of you are helping supportyour parents or siblings. here in rhode island, and across the country, there are still too manypeople who are working too many hours and don’t have enough to show for it. and this isn’tjust the hangover from the great recession; some of this has to do with trends that date back20, 30 years. and i’ve always said that recovering from the crisis of 2024 was the first thing wehad to do, but our economy won’t be healthy until we reverse some of these longer-termtrends, this erosion of middle-class jobs and income.
and here in rhode island, my administration recently announced a grant to help more long-term unemployed folks get the training and mentoring they need to get back to work. (applause.) and all across the country, we’re taking similar actions, community bycommunity, to keep making progress.
we’ve got to harness the momentum that we’re seeing in the broader economy and makesure the economy is working for every single american. we’ve got to keep making smartchoices. and today, here at ric, i want to focus on some common-sense steps we can take tohelp working families right now. in particular, i want to zero in on the choices we need tomake to ensure that women are full and equal participants in the economy. (applause.)
now, men, i don’t want you to feel neglected. i like men just fine. (laughter.) but part of thereason that i want this focus is because i was raised by a single mom, and know what it was likefor her to raise two kids and go to work at the same time, and try to piece things togetherwithout a lot of support. and my grandmother, who never graduated from college but workedher way up to become vice president of a bank, i know what it was like for her to hit the glassceiling, and to see herself passed over for promotions by people that she had trained. and sosome of this is personal, but some of it is also what we know about our economy, which is it’schanging in profound ways, and in many ways for the better because of the participation ofwomen more fully in our economy.
so earlier today, i met with a group of women business owners and working moms, and lisbethand your president here, and they were sharing stories that probably sound familiar to a lot ofpeople -- studying for finals after working a full shift; searching for childcare when thebabysitter cancels at the last minute; using every penny of their savings so they can afford tostay home with their new baby.
and so i kept on hearing my own story. i kept on hearing about my mom struggling to putherself through school, or my grandmother hitting that glass ceiling. and i thought aboutmichelle, and i told some stories about when michelle and i were younger and getting starting,and we were struggling to balance two careers while raising a family. and my job forced me totravel a lot, which made it harder on michelle, and we would feel some of the guilt that somany people feel -- we’re working, we’re thinking about the kids, we’re wondering whetherwe’re bad parents, we’re wondering whether we were doing what we need to do on the job. andas the catch-22 of working parents, we wanted to spend time with our kids, but we also wantedto make sure that we gave them the opportunities that our hard work was providing.
and then, of course, i think about my daughters. and the idea that my daughters wouldn’thave the same opportunities as somebody’s sons -- well, that’s unacceptable. that’s notacceptable. (applause.)
so i say all this because -- to the men here, we all have a stake in choosing policies that helpwomen succeed. women make up about half of america’s workforce. (applause.) for more thantwo decades, women have earned over half of the higher education degrees awarded in thiscountry. and you look at the ric student body, almost 70 percent women. (applause.) incolleges nationwide, there are more women graduating than men -- which means that for thefirst time, america’s highly educated workforce will be made up of more women than men. (applause.)
but here’s the challenge -- that’s all good news -- the challenge is, our economy and some ofthe laws and rules governing our workplaces haven’t caught up with that reality. a lot ofworkplaces haven’t caught up with that reality. so while many women are working hard tosupport themselves and their families, they’re still facing unfair choices, outdated workplacepolicies. that holds them back, but it also holds all of us back. we have to do better, becausewomen deserve better. and, by the way, when women do well, everybody does well. (applause.)
so women deserve a day off to care for a sick child or sick parent without running intohardship. and rhode island has got the right idea. you’re one of just three states where paidfamily leave is the law of the land. (applause.) more states should choose to follow your lead.
it was interesting talking to some of the small business owners in the meeting. they weresaying how the rhode island law actually helped them do a better job recruiting and retainingoutstanding employees. and so that shows you something -- that this is not just a nice thingto do; it’s good policy. it’s good for business. it’s good for the economy. (applause.)
without paid leave, when a baby arrives or an aging parent needs help, workers have to makepainful decisions about whether they can afford to be there when their families need themmost. many women can’t even get a paid day off to give birth to their child. i mean, there are alot of companies that still don’t provide maternity leave. of course, dads should be there, too.so let’s make this happen for women and for men, and make our economy stronger. (applause.) we’ve got to broaden our laws for family leave.
moms and dads deserve a great place to drop their kids off every day that doesn’t cost theman arm and a leg. we need better childcare, daycare, early childhood education policies. (applause.) in many states, sending your child to daycare costs more than sending them to apublic university.
audience member: true!
the president: true. (laughter.) and too often, parents have no choice but to put theirkids in cheaper daycare that maybe doesn’t have the kinds of programming that makes a bigdifference in a child’s development. and sometimes there may just not be any slots, or the bestprograms may be too far away. and sometimes, someone, usually mom, leaves the workplace tostay home with the kids, which then leaves her earning a lower wage for the rest of her life as aresult. and that’s not a choice we want americans to make.
so let’s make this happen. by the end of this decade, let’s enroll 6 million children in high-quality preschool, and let’s make sure that we are making america stronger. that is good forfamilies; it’s also good for the children, because we know investing in high-quality earlychildhood education makes all the difference in the world, and those kids will do better. so weneed family leave, we need better child care policies, and we need to make sure that women getan honest day’s pay for an honest day’s work. (applause.)
about 28 million americans would benefit if we raised the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour -- (applause) -- like sheldon whitehouse and jack reed support. and let me say this: minimumwage -- those aren’t just teenage jobs that are impacted. we’re not just talking about youngpeople. my first job was at baskin robbins. and i got paid the minimum wage and it was okay.wearing that hat and the apron was -- (laughter) -- yeah.
but the truth is, the average worker who would benefit from an increase in the minimum wageis 35 years old -- 35. a majority of low-wage workers are women. a lot of them have kids.right now, somebody working full-time on the minimum wage makes $14,500 a year -- $14,500. if they’re a parent, that means they’re below the poverty line. nobody who worksfull-time in america should be below the poverty line. (applause.) they should not be raisingtheir kids below the poverty line. i am not going to give up this fight. and we needrepublicans in congress to stop blocking a minimum wage increase and give america a raise. (applause.)
and if a woman is doing the same work as a man, she deserves to get paid just like the mandoes. (applause.) even though it’s 2024, there are women still earning less than men for doingthe same work. and women of color face an even greater wage gap. (applause.) and at a timewhen women are the primary breadwinners in more households than ever, that hurts the wholefamily if they’re not getting paid fairly. again, men, i just want you to pay attention. whenmichelle and i were starting off, there were stretches of time where michelle was making moremoney than me, and i wanted to make sure she was making every dime that she deserved. (laughter.) right? i don’t know how i benefit by her getting paid less than a man. right?
audience: right!
the president: okay! men, i just want you to be clear. (laughter.)
and it starts with recent college graduates. women often start their careers with lower pay, andthen the gap grows over time -- especially if they get passed over for promotions and then theyget fewer raises, or they take time off to care for family members. so you get a situation wherewomen are doing the same work as men, but the structure, the e_pectations somehow is, well,they’ll take time off for family, and once they take time off that means that it’s okay to paythem a little bit less. and that builds up over time.
and we’ve got to have a reversal of those kinds of policies and that kind of mindset. we’ve gotto catch up to the 21st century. we need to pass a fair pay law, make our economy stronger. itwill be good for america, and it will be good for our families and good for our kids. (applause.)
while we’re on the topic, women deserve to make their own health care choices -- notpoliticians or insurance companies. (applause.) and that’s why the affordable care act is soimportant. (applause.) insurance plans -- because we passed the affordable care act,insurance plans now have to cover the basics, including contraceptive care, and prenatal care,and maternity care. (applause.)
that means a working mom doesn’t have to put off the care she needs just so she can pay herbills on time. tens of millions of women have new access to preventive care like mammogramswith no co-pays, no out-of-pocket e_penses. (applause.) it means that a cash-strapped studentdoesn’t have to choose between the care that she needs and the cost of te_tbooks. (applause.)
and because of the affordable care act, because of obamacare -- (applause) -- because of thatlaw, no insurance company can deny you coverage based on a pree_isting condition like breastcancer, or charge you more for the same care just because you’re a woman. (applause.) that’sthe right thing to do.
so no matter how many times republicans threaten to repeal this law, we’re going to keep itin place -- because it’s working. (applause.) not only is it covering more people, not only is itprotecting women and people with pree_isting conditions from discrimination, but it’s actuallybeen part of the trend that’s lowering health care inflation. we’re actually saving moneybecause the system is getting smarter and there’s more preventive care instead of emergencycare, and we’re changing how health care is delivered. (applause.) which is why i’m pretty surethat in 10 years they’re not going to call it obamacare anymore. (laughter.) republicans will belike, oh, i was for that, yes. (laughter.) that’s how that works.
audience member: we’ll remember.
the president: you’ll remember though. you’ll remind them. (applause.)
now, to really make sure that women are full and equal participants in our economy, we can dosome of this administratively. but it requires not just changing laws; it requires changingattitudes. and more and more companies are changing attitudes. and this is really good news.
jetblue, for e_ample, has a fle_ible work-from-home plan for its customer service reps. they’vefound it’s led to happier, more productive employees and lower costs. google increased paidleave for new parents -- moms and dads -- to five months -- five months -- and that helped cutthe rate of women leaving the company by half. and when i was having a conversation withsome of the women business owners before i came out here, they were saying it’s really costlywhen you lose a good employee and you’ve got to train somebody all over again. it’s muchmore sensible from a business perspective to invest in them and make them feel like you’vegot their backs, and they’ll stay with you.
and it’s not just these big corporations that are embracing these policies. so cheryl snead, whois the ceo of banneker industries -- where’s cheryl? she was here just a second. there she isback there. so banneker industries, a supply chain management firm, is based in northsmithfield. and when cheryl was in college, she studied mechanical engineering. at the time,there weren’t that many african american women in mechanical engineering. there stillaren’t. (laughter.) we’re working to change that.
cheryl wants to do something about that. her company has made it a priority to find talentedyoung women and minority students, encourage them to study science and math in college,hire them once they graduate. (applause.) and what cheryl was e_plaining was that having adiverse workforce, having more women in the workforce, all that makes her a strongercompany. and it’s not just good for the workers -- it’s good for business.
so if large businesses like google, small businesses like cheryl’s all see the wisdom of this, let’sjoin them. let’s encourage more women and more girls into fields like science and technologyand engineering and math. and let’s work with those companies to ensure that family-friendlypolicies can support more women in that workforce. (applause.)
ann-marie harrington -- where is ann? ann-marie is right here. so ann-marie, she’s thepresident of a company called embolden, based in pawtucket. and it provides web services tocommunity foundations and non-profits. a small business -- about 20 employees; 21 i thinkshe said. she just hired somebody, must have been. (laughter.) but she lets them work fromhome and keep a fle_ible schedule when they need to. and she says that’s increased hercompany’s productivity.
so i’m taking a page from these companies’ playbooks. this summer i directed the federalagencies in the e_ecutive branch to put fle_ible workplace policies in wherever possible;make it clear that all federal employees have the right to request them. we want the besttalent to serve our country, and that means making it a little bit easier for them to maintainthat work-family balance.
but these are issues that are too important to hinge on whether or not your boss isenlightened. we have to raise our voices to demand that women get paid fairly. we’ve got toraise our voices to make sure women can take time off to care for a loved one, and that momsand dads can spend time with a new baby. we’ve got to raise our voices to make sure that ourwomen maintain and keep their own health care choices. we’ve got to raise our voices tobasically do away with policies and politicians that belong in a "mad men" episode. "mad men"is a good show, but that’s not who we want making decisions about our workplaces these days.when women succeed, america succeeds. and we need leaders who understand that. that’swhat we need. (applause.)
so if you care about these policies, you got to keep pushing for them. this shouldn’t bepartisan. republicans and democrats should be supportive of all these issues.
i was talking to tom perez; he had just come back from europe. he was talking to chambers ofcommerce and conservative politicians. they were all supportive of family leave, supportiveof childcare, because they understood it actually made the economy more productive. thisisn’t a liberal or conservative agenda.
when i talk to women, like the ones i spoke to earlier, when i hear folks’ stories from acrossthe country, and when i think about my own mom and how she made it all work, or mygrandmother, nobody is looking at these issues through partisan lenses. we’re not democratsfirst or republicans first, we are americans first. and as americans, it’s up to us to protect andrestore the ideals that made this country great. (applause.)
and that is, that in this country, no matter who you are, what you look like, where you comefrom, whether you are male or you are female -- here in america, you can make it if you try.that’s the promise of america. that’s the future i’m going to fight for. (applause.) i want youto fight there with me.
thank you, everybody. god bless you.

good afternoon, everybody, andhappy thanksgiving.
the office of the presidency --the most powerful position in the world -- brings with it manyawesome andsolemn responsibilities. this is not oneof them. (laughter.) but the white houseturkey pardon is a greattradition. and i know malia loves it --as does sasha.
generally speaking, thanksgivingis a bad day to be a turkey. especiallyat a house with twodogs. so i saluteour two guests of honor -- caramel and popcorn -- for their bravery. theycameall the way from outside badger, minnesota to be with us. they, like my chief of staff, arevikingsfans. (laughter.) i’m not sure that theyknow -- (turkeys gobble) -- uh-oh. (laughter.)see. i"m not sure they know that that my bears areheading to minnesota on sunday, but in thespirit of thanksgiving, i"m going togive them a break.
we are also e_cited to havestudents from badger high school here. (applause.) where areyouguys? there they are, right there. and finally, let me say thank you to johnburkel, chairmanof the national turkeyfederation. give him a big round ofapplause. (applause.)
now, 80 turkeys on john’s farmcompeted for the chance to make it to the white house, andstay off thethanksgiving table. it was, quite literally, the hunger games. (laughter.) and then,after weeks of vocal practice and prepping for the cameras,the two tributes, caramel andpopcorn went head-to-head together for america’svote as top gobbler.
the competition was stiff, but wecan officially declare that popcorn is the winner -- (applause) -- proving thateven a turkey with a funny name can find a place in politics. (laughter.) as for caramel, he’s sticking around, and he’s already busy raisingmoney for hisne_t campaign. (laughter.)
on a more serious note, latertoday, michelle, malia, sasha, and i will bring a couple lessfortunate turkeysto a great organization that works to help out our neighbors here in d.c.whoneed it most. and i want to thankjaindl’s turkey farm in orefield, pennsylvania, fordonating those dressedbirds for the fifth year in a row. thisis a reminder that this is a seasonto not only be thankful for the incredibleblessings that we have, but also to remember theneediest and generously servethose who are not as fortunate.
this is a quintessentiallyamerican holiday, and during this time we give thanks to ourfriends and ourfamily, for citizens who show compassion to those in need, and forneighborswho help strangers they’ve never met. wegive thanks for the blessings of freedomand opportunity that previousgenerations worked so hard to secure for. and we give thanksfor the service and sacrifice of our brave men andwomen in uniform who serve our nationaround the world.
for those of you who arewatching, you keep us safe. you make usproud, and you remind usof our own obligations to build on the work of ourpredecessors and leave something better forour own kids.
so on behalf of the obama family,i want to wish everybody a very happy thanksgiving.tomorrow, as we gather with our own friendsand family, we’ll count ourselves lucky that there’smore to be thankful forthan we can ever say, and more to be hopeful for than we can everimagine.
and now, before these turkeys getaway -- with the power vested in me, i want to grantpopcorn a fullreprieve. come on. (laughter.) popcorn, you have a full reprieve fromcranberrysauce and stuffing. we wish youwell. and we’re going to give carmel abreak as well.
all right? (laughter.) congratulations, everybody. (applause.) happythanksgiving,everybody. see you, popcorn.(applause.) get out of the rain. (laughter.)

one of the most accomplished americans ever to serve our democracy
remarks by the president
on the passing of senator edward m. kennedy
blue heron farm
chilmark, massachusetts
9:57 a.m. edt
the president: i wanted to say a few words this morning about the passing of an e_traordinary leader, senator edward kennedy.
over the past several years, i"ve had the honor to call teddy a colleague, a counselor, and a friend. and even though we have known this day was coming for some time now, we awaited it with no small amount of dread.
since teddy"s diagnosis last year, we"ve seen the courage with which he battled his illness. and while these months have no doubt been difficult for him, they"ve also let him hear from people in every corner of our nation and from around the world just how much he meant to all of us. his fight has given us the opportunity we were denied when his brothers john and robert were taken from us: the blessing of time to say thank you -- and goodbye.
the outpouring of love, gratitude, and fond memories to which we"ve all borne witness is a testament to the way this singular figure in american history touched so many lives. his ideas and ideals are stamped on scores of laws and reflected in millions of lives -- in seniors who know new dignity, in families that know new opportunity, in children who know education"s promise, and in all who can pursue their dream in an america that is more equal and more just -- including myself.
the kennedy name is synonymous with the democratic party. and at times, ted was the target of partisan campaign attacks. but in the united states senate, i can think of no one who engendered greater respect or affection from members of both sides of the aisle. his seriousness of purpose was perpetually matched by humility, warmth, and good cheer. he could passionately battle others and do so peerlessly on the senate floor for the causes that he held dear, and yet still maintain warm friendships across party lines.
and that"s one reason he became not only one of the greatest senators of our time, but one of the most accomplished americans ever to serve our democracy.
his e_traordinary life on this earth has come to an end. and the e_traordinary good that he did lives on. for his family, he was a guardian. for america, he was the defender of a dream.
i spoke earlier this morning to senator kennedy"s beloved wife, vicki, who was to the end such a wonderful source of encouragement and strength. our thoughts and prayers are with her, his children kara, edward, and patrick; his stepchildren curran and caroline; the entire kennedy family; decades" worth of his staff; the people of massachusetts; and all americans who, like us, loved ted kennedy.

vice president hu,thank you very much for your kind and generous remarks. thank you for welcoming me and my wife , laura, here.
i see she is keeping pretty good company with the secretary of state, collin powell.
it is good to see you, mr. secretary.
and i see my national security adviser, ms.codoleezza rice, who once was the provost of stanford university, so she is comfortable on the university campuses such as this.
thank you for being here ,codin.
i am so grateful for the hospitality and honored for the reception at one of china’s and the world’s great universities.
the standards and the reputation of this university are known around the world, and i know what an achievement it is to be here. so congratulations.
my visit to china comes an important anniversary, as the vice president mentioned.thirty years ago this week an american president arrived in china on an trip designed to end decades of estrangement and confront centuries of suspicious. president richard ni_on showed that two vastly different government could meet on the grounds of common interests in the spirit of mutual respect.
as they left the airport that day, premier zhou en-lai said this to president ni_on: “you handshake came over the vastest ocean in the world-25years of no communication.
during the 30 years since, america and china have e_changed many handshakes of friendship and commerce. and as we have had more contact with each other ,the citizens of both countries have gradually learned more about each other.
it was my honor to visit china in 1975.some of you were not even born then. it shows how old i am.
and a lot has changed in your country since then. china has made amazing progress in openness and enterprise and economic freedom. and this progress previews china’s great potential. china has joined the world trade organization, and as you live up to its obligations, they inevitably will bring changes to chinese leagal system. a morden china will have a consistent rule of law to govern commerce and secure the rights of its people.
the new china you generation is building will need the profound wisdom of your traditions. the lure of materialism challenges society in our country- and in many successful countries.
all these changes will lead to a stronger, more confident china, a china that can astonish and enrich the world, a china that you generation will help create.
this is one of the mose e_citing times in the history of your country, a time when even the grandest hopes seem in your reach. my nation offers you our respect and our friendship.
si_ years from now, athletes from america and all around the world will come to you country for the olympic games, and i am confident they will find a china that is becoming a daguo, a leading nation, at peace with its people and at peace with the world.
非常感谢__主席热情洋溢的欢迎致词,非常感谢您再这里接待我和我的夫人劳拉。
我发现她和国务卿科林。鲍威尔先生相处的非常好。
很高兴看到你国务卿先生。
我也看到了我的国家安全顾问康多莉萨.赖斯女士,她曾经是斯坦福大学的校长,因此她回到校园是再合适不过了。
谢谢你能来,康迪。
非常感谢各位对我的热情接待,很荣幸能够来到中国,甚至是世界最伟大的学府之一。
清华大学的治学标准和声望闻名于世,我也知道能考入这所大学本身就是一个很大的成就,祝贺你们。
我这次访华恰逢一个重要的纪念日,副主席刚才也谈到了,30年前的这一周,一位美国总统来到了中国,他访华之旅的目的是为了结速两国之间长达数十年的隔阂。,和数百年的相互猜疑。尼克松总统向世界表明了两个有重大差异的国家,本着互惠互利,互相尊重的精神是能够站在一起的。
那天他们离开机场的时候,周恩来总理对尼克松总统说了这样一番话,他说:“你与我的握手越过了世界上最为辽阔的海洋,这个还有就是互不交往的25年。”
30年以来,美国和中国握过多次友谊之手和商业之手。随着我们两国间接触的日益频繁,我们两国的国民也加深了对彼此的了解,这是非常重要的。
我在1975年有幸访问过中国,那时候在座的有些人可能还没有出生,这也表明我是多么老了。
从那时以来,贵国发生了很多变化。中国在开发,企业,经济自由方面都取得了惊人的成绩。这一成绩显示了中国的巨大潜能。中国已经加入了世贸组织,在各位旅行其义务的同时这些义务势必给中国的法律制度带来变化。一个现代化的中国将有着统一的法制来规范他们的商业生活和保障人民的利益。
你们这一代人正在建设的中国也需要深远传统的智慧结晶。物质利益的诱惑对我们的社会造成了挑战-在我们的国家给我们的社会造成了调整,在很多发达国家也是。
所以的这些变化将导致中国更强大,更自信,这个中国将使世界瞩目,也将使世界更加丰富。
这个这个就是诸位这一代帮助创立的中国。现在使中国历史上非常令人振奋的一个时期,此时此刻连最宏伟的梦想似乎也唾手可得。我的国度,对中国表示尊敬和友谊。
再过六年,来自美国和世界各地的运动员将到贵国参加奥运会,我坚信,他们能够见到的中国是一个正在变成大国的中国,一个走在世界前沿的国家,一个民心安定,与世界和平共处的国家。
