美国总统周末电台演讲：华盛顿白宫奥巴马每周电台演讲WASHINGTON –As oil and gas companies make tens of billions in profits and the government scours the budget for savings, President Obama called on Congress to stop handing them $4 billion annually in taxpayer subsidies. America’s oil production last year reached its highest level since 2003, but we need to invest in the energy of the future, instead of subsidizing the energy of the past.Prepared Remarks of PresidentBarack ObamaWeekly AddressSaturday, April 30, 2011After the worst recession since the Great Depression, our economy is growing again, and we’ve gained almost 2 million private sector jobs over the last 13 months. But I also know that a lot of folks aren’t feeling as positive as some of those statistics might suggest. It’s still too hard to find a job. And even if you have a job, chances are you’re having a tougher time paying the rising costs of everything from groceries to gas. In some places, gas is now more than $4 a gallon, meaning that you could be paying upwards of $50 or $60 to fill up yourtank.Of course, while rising gas prices mean real pain for our families at the pump, they also mean bigger profits for oil companies. This week, the large st oil companies announced that they’d made more than $25 billion in the first few months of 2011 – up about 30 percent from last year.Now, I don’t have a problem with any company or industry being rewarded for their success. The incentive of healthy profits is what fuels entrepreneurialism and helps drives our economy forward. But I do have a problem with the unwarranted taxpayer subsidies we’ve been handing out to oil and gas companies – to the tune of $4 billion a year. When oil companies are making hug e profits and you’re struggling at the pump, and we’re scouring the federal budget for spending we can afford to do without, these tax giveaways aren’t right. They aren’t smart. And we need to end them.That’s why, earlier this week, I renewed my call to C ongress to stop subsidizing the oil and gas industries. Understand, I’m not opposed to producing oil. I believe that if we’re serious about meeting our energy challenge, we need to operate on all cylinders, and that means pursuing a broad range of energy policies, including safe and responsible oil production here at home. In fact, last year, America’s oil production reached its highest level since 2003.But I also believe that instead of subsidizing yesterday’s energy, we should invest in tomorrow’s –and that’s what we’ve been doing. Already, we’ve seen how the investments we’re making in clean energy can lead to new jobs and new businesses. I’ve seen some of them myself – small businesses that are making the most of solar and wind power, and energy-efficient technologies; big companies that are making fuel-efficient cars and trucks part of their vehicle fleets. And to promote these kinds of vehicles, we implemented historic newfuel-economy standards, which could save you as much as $3,000 at the pump.Now, I know that in this tough fiscal environment, it’s tempting for some in Washington to want to cut our investments in clean energy. And I absolutely agree that the only way we’ll be able to afford the things we need is if we cut the things we don’t, and l ive within our means. But I refuse to cut things like clean energy that will help America win the future by growing our economy and creating good-paying jobs; that will help make America more secure; and that will help clean up our planet in the process. An investment in clean energy today is an investment in a better tomorrow. And I think that’s an investment worth making. Thanks for listening, and have a great weekend.Universities Prepare Students for Socially-Conscious Careers在美国,大学不仅要培养学生的综合素质,更重要的是培养学生的社会意识Custom Packaging of Lebanon, Tennessee, makes cardboard sales displays used in grocery stores and movie theaters. The company recently hired sustainability consultant William Paddock to help them "green" their operations. Paddock showed them how to generate less waste and recycle what trash they did produce. He also convinced the company to install one of the area's largest solar arrays on the factory roof, reducing their carbon footprint.Paddock says there are many motivations for being socially responsible."For us it's about protecting the environment, being better to society, but also there's an economic piece to it. We love to, you know, find our passions, but also save somebody money."Paddock's been helping companies save money with green solutions for about ten years, but recently added a little green to his own resume. Last year, he completed an advanced degree in business administration from nearby Lipscomb University; a degree that included a strong emphasis on environmental sustainability. Paddock says the classes improved his ability to connect with his customers."The biggest benefit of going through a program like that is to learn how to talk about a subject like sustainability,so it's fairly complecated. How do you convince a business that looking at their carbon emissions is a viable business option?"Belmont University, in Nashville, takes a different approach for those interested in a for-benefit career. These students will be among the first to graduate with the university's new bachelor's degree in Social Entrepreneurship. Today, they are arranging senior internships with local charities.Bernard Turner, director of Belmont's Center for Social Entrepreneurship, says American universities were slow to offer degrees in for-benefit fields of study, and are now being forced to quickly add those programs."Students are saying, 'Now, listen, I want to be an entrepreneur, but I want to do something that deals with a social problem or a social issue that's dear to me.' So what has happened is that a lot of these programs have come to fruition because they are student-driven; student desires about this."Students are driven by very personal motivations."We've even had students that said, you know, 'Alcoholism was an issue in my family. So how can I study social entrepreneurship and do something about giving these folks a second chance when they come out of treatment?'"Andrew Bishop is one of the program's star students. He launched his first charity when he was still in high school. Turner is helping him launch a second charity that connects professors with opportunities to volunteer in the community.Bishop says he and his peers are motivated by what they see in the media."Even 20 years ago, you really only knew what was going on in your community. But now, you have more of this world and worldwide sense of what's going on and I think it's challenged young people as they're growing up to kind of look at 'How can I make a difference and how can I solve some of these world issues with what I do with my career?'"That growing desire to make a difference and a living at the same time, is why Bishop says American universities are likely to continue expanding their degree offerings in socially-centered areas of study."I think more people want to be able to say that when they retire, 'I did make a difference in my work, and I did make a difference in the life of someone else through what I did each and every day.'"From just a handful of offerings 20 years ago, there are now more than 60 American universities offering "green" business degrees alone.第2课：dit ch和t o hit the spot今天李华和Micha el在对话里使用的两个常用语，一个是：to ditch，另一个是：t o hit t he spot。

美国总统发言稿英语版

美国总统发言稿英语版Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed individuals present here today, thank you for your presence and attention. It is an honor to address you as the President of the United States.First and foremost, I want to express my gratitude to the citizens of this great nation for entrusting me with the responsibility of leading this country. It is a humbling experience to serve as your President and advocate for your concerns, dreams, and aspirations.Today, I stand before you to discuss some significant issues that we need to address together as a united nation. The challenges we face are numerous, both domestically and globally, but I firmly believe that with collective effort, we can overcome them and achieve progress.One of our top priorities is to enhance our economic growth and promote job creation. We must invest in our industries, innovation, and infrastructure to foster a thriving economy that benefits all Americans. By providing tax incentives for businesses, facilitating trade agreements that promote fairness, and empowering our workforce through education and training, we can build a prosperous future for our nation.Furthermore, we must address the critical issue of climate change and its implications for our planet. The scientific evidence is overwhelming, urging us to take immediate action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and transition to sustainable energy sources. We must lead by example, investing in renewable energy research and development, and collaborating with other nations tocombat this global challenge.Equally important is the need to prioritize national security and protect our homeland. We face evolving threats from terrorism, cyberattacks, and other malicious activities. To ensure the safety of our citizens, we must strengthen our intelligence capabilities, invest in cutting-edge technology, and collaborate with our international partners to counter these threats effectively.Moreover, we cannot overlook the pressing issue of healthcare in our nation. Millions of Americans still struggle to afford quality healthcare, and it is our duty to provide accessible and affordable options. We will work towards expanding healthcare coverage, lowering prescription drug costs, and improving the overall healthcare system to ensure that no citizen is left behind.In conclusion, let us remember that united we stand, and together we can overcome any challenge that comes our way. As your President, I reaffirm my commitment to serve this nation with integrity, empathy, and unwavering dedication. Together, we can build a brighter future for our great nation and leave a lasting legacy for generations to come.Thank you, and God bless America.。

美国总统每周电台演讲

美国总统每周电台演讲：华盛顿白宫奥巴马讲话WEEKLY ADDRESS: Commemorating Labor DayWASHINGTON, DC—In his weekly address, President Obama spoke about Labor Day and reflected on the contributions of the working men and women in our country. The President said that by recommitting ourselves to the values of working Americans and coming together with common purpose, we can ensure that everyone who works hard has a chance to get ahead.Remarks of President Barack ObamaWeekly AddressThe White HouseAugust 31, 2013Hi, everybody. This Labor Day weekend, as we gather with family and friends, we’ll also come together as a nation to honor some of our own – the working men and women of America who, across the generations, built this country up and helped make us who we are today.On Monday, we’ll celebrate that proud history. We’ll pay tribute to the values working Americans embody – hard work; responsibility; sacrifice; looking out for one another. And we’ll recommit ourselves to their cause; to securing for them a better bargain so that everyone who works hard in America has a chance to get ahead.See, over the past four and a half years, we’ve fought our way back from the worst recession of our lifetimes. And thanks to the grit and resilience of the American people, we’v e begun to lay a foundation for stronger, more durable economic growth. But as any working family will tell you, we’re not where we need to be.For over a decade, working Americans have seen their wages and incomes stagnate, even as corporate profits soar and the pay of a fortunate few explodes. For even longer than that, inequality has steadily risen; the journey of upward mobility has become harder. And in too many communities across this country, the shadow of poverty continues to cast a pall over our fellow citizens.Reversing that trend needs to be Washington’s highest priority.It’s certainly mine. That’s why, over the past month, I’vetraveled all across America, laying out my ideas for how we can build on the cornerstones of what it means to be middle class. A good job that pays a good wage. A good education. A home of your own. Health care when you get sick. A secure retirement even if you’re not rich. And more chances for folks to earn their way into the middle class as long as they’re willing to w ork for it.The truth is, it’s not going to be easy to reverse the forces that have conspired – for decades – against working Americans. But if we take a few bold steps – and if Washington is able to come together with common purpose and common resolve –we’ll get there. Our economy will keep getting stronger and more Americans will be able to join the ranks of the middle-class.So this Labor Day, while you’re out there grilling in the backyard, or taking that final trip for the summer, I hope you’ll also take a moment to reflect on the many contributions of our working men and women. For generations, it was the great American middle class that made our economy the envy of the world. And as long as I’m President, I’m going to keep fighting to make sure that happens again.Thanks, and have a great weekend.。

英语演讲稿-美国总统每周电台演讲(2007_29

英语演讲稿美国总统每周电台演讲(2007THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. Next week, Congress returns from its Thanksgiving recess. Members are coming back to a lot of unfinished business. And the clock will be ticking, because they have only a few weeks to get their work done before leaving again for Christmas.Congress must address four critical priorities. First, Congress needs to pass a bill to fund our troops in combat. Second, Congress needs to make sure our intelligence professionals can continue to monitor terrorist communications so we can prevent attacks against our people. Third, Congress needs to pass a bill to protect middle-class families from higher taxes. And fourth, Congress needs to pass all the remaining appropriations bills to keep the Federal Government running.Congress’s first priority should be to provide the funds and flexibility to keep our troops safe and help them protect our Nation. Beginning in February, I submitteddetailed funding requests to Congress to fund operations in the war on terror. Our military has waited on these funds for months. The funds include money to carry out combat operations against the enemy in Afghanistan and Iraq. They include money to train the Afghan and Iraqi security forces to take on more responsibility for the defense of their countries. And they include money for intelligence operations to protect our troops on the battlefield. Pentagon officials recently warned Congress that continued delay in funding our troops will soon begin to have a damaging impact on the operations of our military. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates has already notified Congress that he will transfer money from accounts used to fund other activities of the military services to pay for current operations in Iraq and Afghanistan -- and no more money can be moved. So he has directed the Army and Marine Corps to develop a plan to lay-off civilian employees, terminate contracts, and prepare our military bases across the country for reduced operations. Military leaders have told us what they need to do their job. It is time for the Congress to do its job and give our troops what they need to protect America.Another priority Congress must address is the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA. FISA provides acritical legal framework that allows our intelligence community to monitor terrorist communications while protecting the freedoms of the American people. Unfortunately, the law is dangerously out of date. In August, Congress passed legislation to help modernize FISA. That bill closed critical intelligence gaps, allowing us to collect important foreign intelligence. The problem is, this new law expires on February 1st -- while the threat from our terrorist enemies does not.Congress must take action now to keep the intelligence gaps closed -- and make certain our national security professionals do not lose a critical tool for keeping America safe. As part of these efforts, Congress also needs to provide meaningful liability protection to those companies now facing multi-billion dollar lawsuits only because they are believed to have assisted in the efforts to defend our Nation following the 9/11 attacks.Congress’s third priority should be to fix the Alternative Minimum Tax. The AMT was designed to ensure that the wealthy paid their fair share of taxes. But when Congress passed the AMT decades ago, it was not indexed for inflation. As a result, the AMT’s higher tax burden is creeping up on more and more middle-class families. If Congress fails to passlegislation to fix the AMT, as many as 25 million Americans would be subject to the AMT. On average, these taxpayers would have to send an extra $2,000 to the IRS next year. This is a huge tax increase that taxpayers do not deserve, and Congress must stop.Finally, Congress has important work to do on the budget. One of Congress’s most basic duties is to fund the day-to-day operations of the Federal Government. Yet we are in the final month of the year, and Congress still has work to do on 11 of the 12 annual spending bills. Congressional leaders are now talking about piling all these bills into one monstrous piece of legislation -- which they will load up with billions of dollars in earmarks and pork-barrel spending.This is not what Congressional leaders promised when they took control of the Congress at the start of the year. In January, one congressional leader declared, “No longer can we waste time here in the Capitol, while families in America struggle to get ahead.” He was right. Congressional leaders need to keep their word and pass the remaining spending bills in a fiscally responsible way.The end of the year is approaching fast, and Americans are working hard to finish up their business. Yet when it comesto getting its business done, Congress is only getting started. Members of Congress now have only a few weeks left before they head home for the holidays. Before they do so, I urge them to do their job: fund our troops, protect our citizens, provide taxpayers relief, and responsibly fund our government.Thank you for listening.。

We believe in the power of alliances and the importance of working together with our global partners to address the common threats of our time, such asterrorism, climate change, and nuclear proliferation.At home, we will not waver in our commitment to socialjustice. We will work tirelessly to bridge the divides that have for too long kept us apart. It is time to heal the wounds of the past and to build a future where every American, regardless of race, religion, or creed, can live without fear and with the promise of a better tomorrow.To our men and women in uniform, your service and sacrificeare the bedrock of our freedom. We honor you and your families, and we pledge to support you not just in times of war but in times of peace as well.In closing, I want to remind each and every one of you thatthe United States of America is not just a country; it is an idea—a shining beacon of hope and opportunity for the world. Let us embrace this idea with renewed vigor and determination. Together, we can and will overcome the obstacles that lie ahead.Thank you, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America.Sincerely,[Your Name]President of the United States。

【美国总统Bush电台演说】

THE PRESIDENT: Good morning.Earlier this week, I had coffee with Rockey Vaccarella in the White House. Rockey is from Saint Bernard Parish in Louisiana, and he and his family lost everything they owned to Hurricane Katrina. Rockey drove to Washington to thank the federal government for its efforts to help people like him. And he brought a trailer along to help remind us that many good people along our Gulf Coast are still living in difficult conditions, and that the hardwork of rebuilding has only justThis Tuesday marks the firstanniversary of Katrina -- one ofthe deadliest and most costlynatural disasters in Americanhistory. In Mississippi, the stormwiped out virtually everythingalong an 80-mile stretch of thecoast, flattening homes anddestroying entire communities.In Louisiana, flooding left 80percent of the city of New Orleansunderwater. The human costswere even more terrible. More than a thousand people died, countless families lost their homes and livelihoods, and tens of thousands of men, women, and children were forced to flee the region and leave behind everything they knew.During the storm and in the days that followed, Americans responded with heroism and compassion. Coast Guard and other personnel rescued people stranded in flooded neighborhoods and brought them to high ground. Doctors and nurses stayed behind to care for their patients, and some even went without food so their patients could eat. Many of the first-responders risking their lives to help otherswere victims themselves -- wounded healers, with a sense of duty greater than theirown suffering. And across our great land, the armies of compassion rallied to bringfood and water and hope to fellow citizens who had lost everything. In these and countless other selfless acts, we saw the spirit of America at its best.Unfortunately, Katrina also revealed that federal, state, and local governments were unprepared to respond to such an extraordinary disaster. And the floodwaters exposed a deep-seated poverty that has cut people off from the opportunities of our country. So last year I made a simple pledge: The federal government would learn the lessons of Katrina, we would do what it takes, and we would stay as long as it takes, to help our brothers and sisters build a new Gulf Coast where every citizen feels part of the great promise of America.That was the same pledge I repeated to Rockey during his visit to the White House. This pledge meant stronger levees and rebuilt homes and new infrastructure. It also means safe streets and neighborhoods filled with locally owned businesses, and more opportunities for everyone.Next week, Laura and I will return to Mississippi and New Orleans to meet with local citizens and officials, and review the progress we have made. The federal government has conducted a thorough review of its response to natural disasters, and we're making reforms that will improve our response to future emergencies. With help from Congress, we have committed $110 billion to the recovery effort, and we are playing a vital role in helping people clear debris, repair and rebuild their homes, reopen their businesses and schools, and put their lives back together.The federal government will continue to do its part -- yet a re-born Gulf Coast must reflect the needs, the vision, and the aspirations of the people of Mississippi and Louisiana. And their state and local officials have a responsibility to help set priorities and make tough decisions, so people can plan their futures with confidence.One year after the storms, the Gulf Coast continues down the long road to recovery. In Mississippi and Louisiana, we can see many encouraging signs of recovery and renewal, and many reminders that hard work still lies ahead. This work will require the sustained commitment of our government, the generosity and compassion of the American people, and the talent and vision of people determined to restore their homes, neighborhoods, and cities. We will stay until the job is done, and by workingtogether, we will help our fellow citizens along the Gulf Coast write a new future of hope, justice, and opportunity for all.Thank you for listening.。

美国总统每周电台英文演讲稿_演讲稿

美国总统每周电台英文演讲稿Hi, everybody. On Tuesday, I gave my final State of the Union Address. And a focus was this:how do we make the new economy work better for everyone, not just those at the top? After the worst economic crisis of our lifetimes, we're in the midst of the longest streak ofprivate-sector job growth in our history. More than 14 million new jobs. An unemploymentrate cut in half. At the same time, our economy continues to go through profound changesthat began long before the Great Recession hit. It's changed to the point where even when folkshave jobs; even when the economy is growing; it's harder for working families to pullthemselves out of poverty, harder for young people to start out on their careers, and tougherfor workers to retire when they want to.That's a big part of the reason a lot of working families are feeling anxious. And it offends ourfundamentally American belief that everybody who works hard should be able to get ahead. That's why we've been fighting so hard to give families more opportunity and more security –by working to create more good jobs, invest in our middle class, and help working people get1 / 3araise. That's what the Affordable Care Act is all about –filling in the gaps in employer-basedcare so that when somebody loses a job, or goes back to school, or starts that new business,they still have health care. And it's why I believe we've got to take steps to modernize ourunemployment insurance system.If a hardworking American loses her job, regardless of what state she lives in, we should makesure she can get unemployment insurance and some help to retrain for her next job. If she'sbeen unemployed for a while, we should reach out to her and connect her with careercounseling. And if she finds a new job that doesn't pay as much as her old one, we should offersome wage insurance that helps her pay her bills. Under my plan, experienced workers whonow make less than $50,000 could replace half of their lost wages – up to $10,000 over twoyears. It's a way to give families some stability and encourage folks to rejoin the workforce –because we shouldn't just be talking about unemployment; we should be talking about re-employment. That's when America works best –when everyone has opportunity; when everyone has somesecurity; and when everyone can contribute to this country we love. That's how we make 2 / 3surethat hardworking families can get ahead. And that's what I'll be fighting for with every last dayof my presidency. Thanks, everybody. Have a great weekend.以上英语演讲稿是橙子整理，希望大家喜欢。

英语演讲稿-美国总统每周电台演讲(2007_32

英语演讲稿美国总统每周电台演讲(2007THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. Earlier this week, the newly elected members of the House and the Senate took their oaths of office and became part of the 110th Congress.I congratulate them all, and I look forward to working with them over the next two years. Since the November elections, I’ve had a number of productive meetings with the new leaders in Congress, including Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, House Minority Leader John Boehner, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. I was encouraged by our discussions, and I’m confident that we can find common ground in our efforts to serve our fellow citizens and to move our country forward. One area where we are already finding agreement is in our effort to spend the people’s money wisely. This week, I announced that I will submit a five-year budget proposal that will balance the federal budget by 2012, while making the tax relief we passed permanent. Some Democrats have indicated that balancing thebudget is a top priority for them as well. By holding the line on spending and continuing our pro-growth policies, we can balance the budget and address the most urgent needs of our Nation, which are winning the war on terror and maintaining a strong national defense, keeping our economy growing, and creating jobs. We also see bipartisan agreement emerging on reforming the earmark process in Congress. Earmarks are spending provisions that are often slipped into bills at the last minute -- so they rarely get debated or discussed. Many earmarks divert precious funds away from vital priorities like national defense and education to wasteful pork-barrel projects. I appreciate Democratic leaders who have pledged to maintain our current levels of spending without additional earmarks this year. And I support the temporary moratorium on all new earmarks announced by the Democrats. This is a good start, but I believe we can do more. This week, I proposed my own earmark reforms, which would make the earmark process more transparent, end the practice of concealing earmarks in so-called report language never included in legislation, and cut the number and costs of earmarks by at least half. These common-sense reforms will help prevent billions of taxpayers’dollars from being spent on unnecessary earmarks. Another areawhere Democrats and Republicans can work together is in the effort to improve our schools. We have done so before. In my first year as President, Democrats and Republicans saw that our schools were failing too many students, so we worked together to pass the No Child Left Behind Act. This good law gave our schools new resources -- and in return, we asked them to show results. By setting high standards and measuring student progress, we’re holding schools accountable for teaching every student to read, write, add, and subtract. Since No Child Left Behind was passed, we have seen major improvements in student achievement all across America. In reading, nine-year-olds have made larger gains in the last five years of the test than in the previous 28 years. In math, nine-year-olds and 13-year-olds earned the highest scores in the history of the test. And in both reading and math, African-American and Hispanic students are scoring higher and starting to close the achievement gap. This year the No Child Left Behind Act is up for reauthorization. I’m confident that both parties can work together to help our Nation’s students. By reauthorizing this important legislation, we can help make our schools a gateway to opportunity for every child. With this new Congress and new year, Democrats and Republicans will havemany opportunities to serve the American people. We must rise to meet those opportunities and build a stronger and more compassionate Nation for generations to come. Thank you for listening.。

【美国总统电台演说】2011-11-24

【美国总统电台演说】2011-11-24From my family to yours, I’d like to wish you a happy Thanksgiving. Like millions of Americans, Michelle, Malia, Sasha and I will spend the day eating great food, watching a little football, and reflecting on how truly lucky we truly are.As Americans, each of us has our own list of things and people to be thankful for. But there are some blessings we all share.We’re especially grateful for the men and women who defend our country overseas. To all the service members eating Thanksgiving dinner far from your families: the American people are thinking of you today. And when you come home, we intend to make sure that we serve you as well as you’re serving America.We’re also grateful for the Americans who are taking time out of their holiday to serve in soup kitchens and shelters, making sure their neighbors have a hot meal and a place to stay. This sense of mutual responsibility –the idea that I am my brother’s keeper; that I am my sister’s keeper –has always been a part of what mak es our country special. And it’s one of the reasons the Thanksgiving tradition has endured.忍受,持续, 持久The very first Thanksgiving was a celebration of community during a time of great hardship, and we have followed that example ever since. Even when the fate of our union was far from certain –during a Civil War, two World Wars, a Great Depression – Americans drew strength from each other. They had faith that tomorrow would be better than today.We’re grateful that they did. As we gather around the table, we pause to remember the pilgrims, pioneers, and patriots who helped make this country what it is. They faced impossible odds, and yet somehow, they persevered. Today, it’s our turn.I know that for many of you, this Thanksgiving is more difficult than most. But no matter how tough things are right now, we still give thanks for that most American of blessings, the chance to determine our own destiny. The problems we face didn’t develop overnight, and we won’t solve them overnight. But we will solve them. All it takes is for each of us to do our part.With all the partisanship and gridlock here in Washington, it’s easy to wonder if such unity is really possible. But think about what’s happening at this very moment: Americans from all walks of life are coming together as one people, grateful for the blessings of family, community, and country.If we keep that spirit alive, if we support each other, and look out for each other, and remember that we’re all in this together, then I know that we too will overc ome the challenges of our time.So today, I’m thankful to serve as your President and Commander-and-Chief. I’m thankful that my daughters get to grow up in this great country of ours. And I’m thankful for the chance to do my part, as together, we make tomorrow better than today.Thanks, and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.。

2013-04-06Hi, everybody. Our top priority as a nation, and my top priority as President, must be doing everything we can to reignite the engine of America’s growth: a rising, thriving middle class. That’s our North Star. That must drive every decision we make.Now, yesterday, we learned that our businesses created 95,000 new jobs last month. That’s about 500,000 new jobs this year, and nearly 6.5 million new jobs over the past three years.But we’ve got more work to do to get the economy growing faster, so that everybody who wants a job can find one. And that means we need fewer self-inflicted wounds from Washington, like the across-the-board spending cuts that are already hurting many communities –cuts that economists predict will cost our economy hundreds of thousands of jobs this year.If we want to keep rebuilding this economy on a stronger, sturdier foundation for growth –growth that creates good, middle-class jobs – we have to make smarter choices.This week, I’ll send a budget to Congress that will help do just that – a fiscally-responsible blueprint for middle-class jobs and growth.For years, an argument in Washington has raged between reducing our deficits at all costs, and making the investments we need to grow the economy. My budget puts that argument to rest. Because we don’t have to choose between these goals – we can do both. After all, as we saw in the 1990s, nothing reduces deficits faster than a growing economy.My budget will reduce our deficits not with aimless, reckless spending cuts that hurt students and seniors and middle-class families –but through the balanced approach that the American people prefer, and the investments that a growing economy demands.Now, the truth is, our deficits are already shrinking. That’s a fact. I’ve already signed more than $2.5 trillion in deficit reduction into law, and my budget will reduce our deficits by nearly $2 trillion more, without harming the recovery. That surpasses the goal of $4 trillion in deficit reduction that many economists believe will stabilize our finances.We’ll make the tough reforms required to strengthen Medicare for the future, without undermining the rock-solid guarantee at its core. And we’ll enact commonsense tax reform that includes closing wasteful tax loopholes for the wealthy and well-connected – loopholes like the ones that can allow a billionaire to pay a lower tax rate than his or her secretary.This is the compromise I offered the Speaker of the House at the end of last year. While it’snot my ideal plan to f urther reduce the deficit, it’s a compromise I’m willing to accept in order to move beyond a cycle of short-term, crisis-driven decision-making, and focus on growing our economy and our middle class for the long run. It includes ideas many Republicans have said they could accept as well. It’s a way we can make progress together.But deficit reduction cannot come at the cost of economic growth or middle-class security. And it doesn’t have to. My budget will make critical investments to grow the economy, create jobs, and strengthen the middle class.As I said in my State of the Union Address, every day, we should ask ourselves three questions: how do we make America a magnet for good jobs? How do we give our workers the skills they need to do those jobs? And how do we make sure that hard work leads to a decent living?We’ll keep our promise to an aging generation by shoring up Medicare. And we’ll keep our promise to the next generation by investing in the fundamentals that have always made America strong – manufacturing and innovation, energy and education.Because that’s what it’ll take to make sure America remains strong in the years ahead – and to leave behind something better for our kids.Thank you.2013-04-13Hi. As you’ve probably noticed, I’m not the President. I’m just a citizen. And as a citizen, I’m here at the White House today because I want to make a difference and I hope you will join me.My name is Francine Wheeler. My husband David is with me. We live in Sandy Hook, Connecticut.David and I have two sons. Our older son Nate, soon to be 10 years old, is a fourth grader at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Our younger son, Ben, age six, was murdered in his first-grade classroom on December 14th, exactly 4 months ago this weekend.David and I lost our beloved son, and Nate lost his best friend. On what turned out to be the last morning of his life, Ben told me, quite out of the blue, “ I still want to be an architect, Mama, but I also want to be a paleontologist, because that’s what Nate is going to be and I want to do everything Nate does.”Ben’s love of fun and his excitement at the wonders of life were unmatched His boundless energy kept him running across the soccer field long after the game was over. He couldn’t wait to get to school every morning. He sang with perfect pitch and had just played at his third piano recital. Irrepressibly bright and spirited, Ben experienced life at full tilt.Until that morning. 20 of our children, and 6 of our educators – gone. Out of the blue.I’ve heard people say that the tidal wave of anguish our country felt on 12/14 has receded. But not for us. To us, it feels as if it happened just yesterday. And in the four months since we lost our loved ones, thousands of other Americans have died at the end of a gun. Thousands of other families across the United States are also drowning in our grief.Please help us do something before our tragedy becomes your tragedy.Sometimes, I close my eyes and all I can remember is that awful day waiting at the Sandy Hook V olunteer Firehouse for the boy who would never come home – the same firehouse that was home to Ben’s Tiger Scout Den 6. But other times, I feel Ben’s presence filling me with courage for what I have to do – for him and all the others taken from us so violently and too soon.We have to convince the Senate to come together and pass commonsense gun responsibility reforms that will make our communities safer and prevent more tragedies like the one we never thought would happen to us.When I packed for Washington on Monday, it looked like the Senate might not act at all. Then, after the President spoke in Hartford, and a dozen of us met with Senators to share our stories, more than two-thirds of the Senate voted to move forward.But that’s only the start. They haven’t yet passed any bills that will help keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people. And a lot of people are fighting to make sure they never do.Now is the time to act. Please join us. You can talk to your Senator, too. Or visit to find out how you can join the President and get involved.Help this be the moment when real change begins.From the bottom of my heart, thank you.2013-04-20On Monday, an act of terror wounded dozens and killed three innocent people at the Boston Marathon.But in the days since, the world has witnessed one sure and steadfast truth: Americans refuse to be terrorized.Ultimately, that’s what we’ll remember from this week. That’s what will remain. Stories of heroism and kindness; resolve and resilience; generosity and love.The brave first responders – police officers, firefighters, EMTs, and National Guard – who ran toward danger to help their fellow citizens.The race volunteers, spectators, and exhausted runners who rushed to help, including troops and veterans who never expected to see such scenes on the streets of America.The determined doctors and nurses at some of the world’s best hospitals, who have toiled day and night to save so many lives.The big-hearted people of Boston – residents, priests, shopkeepers – who carried victims in their arms; delivered water and blankets; lined up to give blood; opened their homes to total strangers.And the heroic federal agents and police officers who worked together throughout the week, often at great risk to themselves, to keep our communities safe. As a country, we are eternally grateful for the profound sacrifices they make in the line of duty – sometimes making the ultimate sacrifice to defend the people they’ve sworn to protect.If anyone wants to know who we are; what America is; how we respond to evil and terror –that’s it. Selflessly. Compassionately. And unafraid.Through days that would test even the sturdiest of souls, Boston’s spirit remains undaunted. America’s spirit remains undimmed. Our faith in each other, our love for this country, our common creed that cuts across whatever superficial differences we may have –that’s what makes us strong. That’s why we endure.In the days to come, we will remain vigilant as a nation. And I have no doubt the city of Boston and its surrounding communities will continue to respond in the same proud and heroic way that they have thus far – and their fellow Americans will be right there with them every step of the way. May God bless the people of Boston and the United States of America.2013-04-27Hi, everybody. Our top priority as a nation must be growing the economy, creating good jobs, and rebuilding opportunity for the middle class.But two months ago, Congress allowed a series of automatic budget cuts to fall across the federal government that would do the opposite. In Washington-speak, these cuts were called the “sequester.” It was a bad idea then. And as the country saw this week, it’s a bad idea now.Because of these reckless cuts, there are parents whose kids just got kicked out of Head Start programs scrambling for a solution. There are seniors who depend on programs like Meals on Wheels to live independently looking for help. There are military communities – families that have already sacrificed enough – coping under new strains. All because of these cuts.This week, the sequester hurt travelers, who were stuck for hours in airports and on planes, and rightly frustrated by it. And, maybe because they fly home each weekend, the Members of Congress who insisted these cuts take hold finally realized that they actually apply to them too.Republicans claimed victory when the sequester first took effect, and now they’ve decided it was a bad idea all along. Well, first, they should look at their own budget. If the cuts they propose were applied across the board, the FAA would suffer cuts three times deeper.So Congress passed a temporary fix. A Band-Aid. But these cuts are scheduled to keep falling across other parts of the government that provide vital services for the American people. And we can’t just keep putting Band-Aids on every cut. It’s not a responsible way to govern. There is only one way to truly fix the sequester: by replacing it before it causes further damage.A couple weeks ago, I put forward a budget that replaces the next several years of these dumb cuts with smarter cuts; reforms our tax code to close wasteful special interest loopholes; and invests in things like education, research, and manufacturing that will create new jobs right now.So I hope Members of Congress will find the same sense of urgency and bipartisan cooperation to help the families still in the crosshairs of these cuts. They may not feel the pain felt by kids kicked off Head Start, or the 750,000 Americans projected to lose their jobs because of these cuts, or the long-term unemployed who will be further hurt by them. But that pain is real.The American people worked too hard, for too long, rebuilding from one economic crisis just to see your elected officials keep causing more. Our economy is growing. Our deficits areshrinking. We’re creating jobs on a consistent basis. But we need to do more to help middle-class families get ahead, and give more folks a chance to earn their way into the middle class. And we can, if we work together. That’s what you expect. That’s what I’m going to work every single day to help deliver.Thank you.。

英语演讲稿-美国总统每周电台演讲(2007_37

英语演讲稿美国总统每周电台演讲(2007THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. On Thursday, I traveled to California to visit communities ravaged by wildfires. I walked with a married couple through the charred remains of their home. I met with emergency responders. I talked with displaced families at a disaster assistance center. And I made a pledge to the people of California on behalf of all Americans: We will help you put out the fires, get through the crisis, and rebuild your lives.State and local authorities in California were well prepared for this crisis, and they responded quickly and effectively. Officials warned those in danger, moved residents out of the path of the flames, and set up dozens of shelters for thousands of people.State officials also reached out to the Federal government for help. And we responded. Shortly after the fires broke out, we started mobilizing and providing assistance, including the deployment of Federal firefighters and aircraftto drop fire retardant on the fires. As high winds spread the fires, Governor Schwarzenegger requested more Federal help. Within one hour of that request, we approved an emergency declaration that authorized Federal agencies across the government to help state and local responders save lives, protect property, and maintain public health and safety. On Wednesday, I issued a second declaration. This action made additional Federal funding available to the residents of the counties affected by the wildfires, so they can recover and rebuild. This Federal assistance includes grants for temporary housing and home repair, low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses, loans for small business owners, and funding to help clean up debris.I was impressed by the performance of the first responders I met in California. Despite the challenges of high winds and dry weather, firefighters are gaining the upper hand and earning the gratitude of their fellow citizens. Many of these brave men and women have battled the blaze in triple-digit heat. Some have worked around the clock. And more than once, firefighting teams were forced to take emergency shelter in their fire tents when threatened by approaching walls of flame. I was grateful for the opportunity to meet them,and I thank them for their courage.I was also encouraged by the spirit of the families I met. At one recovery center, I met an amazing young girl named Alyssa Lamborn. Alyssa told me, “I lost my house, but I didn’t lose my home -- because my family and my pets are safe.” I saw this same spirit in many others who are grateful for their safety and determined to rebuild.People like Alyssa and her family are receiving help from their fellow Americans. Some have opened their homes to strangers who were evacuated and could not find a hotel room. Doctors and nurses have answered the call to help seniors who were forced from their nursing homes. And volunteers from every walk of life have come forward to provide food, clothing, and blankets -- and a shoulder to lean on.I went to Southern California with a message: We want you to know the country cares for you. We’re concerned about you, your neighborhoods, and your homes. Things may look dismal now, but there is a better day ahead. And we will not forget you in Washington, D.C.Thank you for listening.。

英语演讲稿美国总统布什每周电台演讲附原文(2008THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. At the stroke of midnight tonight, a vital intelligence law that is helping protect our nation will expire. Congress had the power to prevent this from happening, but chose not to.The Senate passed a good bill that would have given our intelligence professionals the tools they need to keep us safe. But leaders in the House of Representatives blocked a House vote on the Senate bill, and then left on a 10-day recess.Some congressional leaders claim that this will not affect our security. They are wrong. Because Congress failed to act, it will be harder for our government to keep you safe from terrorist attack. At midnight, the Attorney General and the Director of National Intelligence will be stripped of their power to authorize new surveillance against terrorist threats abroad. This means that as terrorists change their tactics to avoid our surveillance, we may not have the tools we need to continue tracking them -- and we may lose a vital lead thatcould prevent an attack on America.In addition, Congress has put intelligence activities at risk even when the terrorists don’t change tactics. By failing to act, Congress has created a question about whether private sector companies who assist in our efforts to defend you from the terrorists could be sued for doing the right thing. Now, these companies will be increasingly reluctant to provide this vital cooperation, because of their uncertainty about the law and fear of being sued by class-action trial lawyers. For six months, I urged Congress to take action to ensure this dangerous situation did not come to pass. I even signed a two-week extension of the existing law, because members of Congress said they would use that time to work out their differences. The Senate used this time productively -- and passed a good bill with a strong, bipartisan super-majority of 68 votes. Republicans and Democrats came together on legislation to ensure that we could effectively monitor those seeking to harm our people. And they voted to provide fair and just liability protection for companies that assisted in efforts to protect America after the attacks of 9/11.The Senate sent this bill to the House for its approval.It was clear that if given a vote, the bill would have passed the House with a bipartisan majority. I made every effort to work with the House to secure passage of this law. I even offered to delay my trip to Africa if we could come together and enact a good bill. But House leaders refused to let the bill come to a vote. Instead, the House held partisan votes that do nothing to keep our country safer. House leaders chose politics over protecting the country -- and our country is at greater risk as a result.House leaders have no excuse for this failure. They knew all along that this deadline was approaching, because they set it themselves. My administration will take every step within our power to minimize the damage caused by the House’s irresponsible behavior. Yet it is still urgent that Congress act. The Senate has shown the way by approving a good, bipartisan bill. The House must pass that bill as soon as they return to Washington from their latest recess.At this moment, somewhere in the world, terrorists are planning a new attack on America. And Congress has no higher responsibility than ensuring we have the tools to stop them.Thank you for listening.END。

普特英语美国总统每周电视演讲稿件

Prepared Remarks of PresidentBarack ObamaWeekly AddressSaturday, October 8 , 2011Next week, the Senate will vote on the American Jobs Act. It’s a bill that will put more peopleto work and put more money in the pockets of working Americans. And it will provide oureconomy with the jolt that it really needs right nowThis is not the time for the usual games or political gridlock in Washington. The challengesfacing financial markets around the world could have very real effects on our own economy at atime when it’s already fragile. But this jobs bill can help guard against another downturn here inAmerica.This isn’t just my belief. This is what independent economists have said. Not just politicians. Not just people in my administration. Independent experts who do this for a living have said thatthis jobs bill will have a significant effect for our economy and middle-class families all acrossAmerica. But if we don’t act, the opposite will be true – there will be fewer jobs and weaker growth.So any Senator out there who’s thinking about voting against this jobs bill needs to explainwhy they would oppose something that we know would improve our economic situation. If theRepublicans in Congress think they have a better plan for creating jobs right now, they shouldprove it. Because one of the same independent economists who looked at our plan just said thattheir ideas, quote, wouldn’t ―mean much for the economy in the near term.‖If their plan doesn’t measure up, the Americ an people deserve to know what it is thatRepublicans in Congress don’t like about this jobs plan. You hear a lot of our Republican friendssay that one of the most important things we can do is cut taxes. Well, they should love thisplan. The American Jobs Act would cut taxes for virtually every worker and small business inAmerica. And if you’re a small business owner that hires new workers, raises wages, or hires aveteran, you get an additional tax cut.Right now, hundreds of thousands of teachers and firefighters and police officers have beenlaid off because of state budget cuts. This jobs bill will put a lot of these men and women back towork. Right now, there are millions of laid-off construction workers who could be repairing ourbridges and roads an d modernizing our schools. Why wouldn’t we want to put these men andwomen to work rebuilding America?The proposals in this bill are steps we have to take if we want to build an economy that lasts; ifwe want to be able to compete with other countries for jobs that restore a sense of security forthe middle-class. But we also have to rein in our deficit and start living within our means, which iswhy this jobs bill is paid for by asking millionaires and billionaires to pay their fair share.Some see this as class warfare. I see it as a simple choice. We can either keep taxes exactlyas they are for millionaires and billionaires, or we can ask them to pay at least the same rate as aplumber or a bus driver. And in the process, we can put teachers and construction workers andveterans back on the job. We can either fight to protect their tax cuts, or we can cuttaxes forvirtually every worker and small business in America. But we can’t afford to do both. It’s thatsimple.There are too many people hurting in this country for us to simply do nothing. The economyis too fragile for us to let politics get in the way of action. The people who represent you inWashington have a responsibility to do what’s best for you –not what’s best for their party orwhat’s going to help them win an election that’s more than a year away. So I need you to keepmaking your voices heard in Washington. I need you to remind these folks who they work for. And I need you to tell your Senators to do the right thing by passing this jobs bill right away.Thank you.Prepared Remarks of PresidentBarack ObamaWeekly AddressSaturday, September 24 , 2011Over the last few weeks, I’ve been making the case that we need to act now on the AmericanJobs Act, so we can put folks back to work and start building an economy that lasts into thefuture.Education is an essential part of this economic agenda. It is an undeniable fact that countrieswho out-educate us today will out-compete us tomorrow. Businesses will hire wherever the highly-skilled, highly-trained workers are located.But today, our students are sliding against their peers around the globe. Today, our kids trailtoo many other countries in math, science, and reading. As many as a quarter of our stude ntsaren’t even finishing high school. And we’ve fallen to 16th in the proportion of our young peoplewith a college degree, even though we know that sixty percent of new jobs in the coming decadewill require more than a high school diploma.What this means is that if we’re serious about building an economy that lasts – an economy inwhich hard work pays off with the opportunity for solid middle class jobs –we had better beserious about education. We have to pick up our game and raise our standards.As a nation, we have an obligation to make sure that all children have the resources they needto learn –quality schools, good teachers, the latest textbooks and the right technology. That’swhy the jobs bill I sent to Congress would put tens of thousands of teac hers back to work acrossthe country, and modernize at least 35,000 schools. That's why Congress should pass that billright now.But money alone won’t solve our education problems. We also need reform. We need tomake sure that every classroom is a place of high expectations and high performance.That’s been our vision since taking office. And that’s why instead of just pouring money into asystem that’s not working, we launched a competition called Race to the Top. To all fifty states,we said, ―If you sh ow us the most innovative plans to improve teacher quality and studentachievement, we’ll show you the money.‖For less than one percent of what we spend on education each year, Race to the Top has ledstates across the country to raise their standards for teaching and learning. These standards weredeveloped, not by Washington, but by Republican and Democratic governors throughout thecountry. And since then, we have seen what’s possible when reform isn’t just a top-downmandate, but the work of local teachers and principals; school boards and communities.That’s why in my State of the Union address this year, I said that Congress should reform theNo Child Left Behind law based on the same principles that have guided Race to the Top.While the goals behind No Child Left Behind were admirable, experience has taught us that thelaw has some serious flaws that are hurting our children instead of helping them. Teachers arebeing forced to teach to a test, while subjects like history and science are being squeezed out. Andin order to avoid having their schools labeled as failures, some states lowered their standards in arace to the bottom.These problems have been obvious to parents and educators all over this country for years. But for years, Congress has failed to fix them. So now, I will. Our kids only get one shot at adecent education. And they can’t afford to wait any longer.Yesterday, I announced that we’ll be giving states more flexibility to meet high standards forteaching and learning. It’s time for us to let states, schools and teachers come up with innovativeways to give our children the skills they need to compete for the jobs of the future.This will make a huge difference in the lives of students all across the country. Yesterday, Iwas with Ricky Hall, the principal of a school in Worcester, Massachusetts. Every single studentwho graduated from Ricci’s school in the last three years went on to college. But because theydidn’t meet the standards of No Child Left Behind, Ricci’s school was labeled as f ailing last year.That will change because of what we did yesterday. From now on, we’ll be able to encouragethe progress at schools like Ricci’s. From now on, people like John Becker, who teaches at one ofthe highest-performing middle schools in D.C., will be able to focus on teaching his 4th gradersmath in a way that improves their performance instead of just teaching to a test. Superintendentslike David Estrop from Ohio will be able to focus on improving teaching and learning in his districtinstead of spending all his time on bureaucratic mandates from Washington that don’t get results.This isn’t just the right thing to do for our kids –it’s the right thing to do for our country, andour future. It is time to put our teachers back on the job. It is time to rebuild and modernize ourschools. And it is time to raise our standards, up our game, and do everything it takes to prepareour children succeed in the global economy. Now is the time to once again make our educationsystem the envy of the world.Thanks for listening.Prepared Remarks of PresidentBarack ObamaWeekly AddressSaturday, October 1 , 2011Hello, everyone. It’s been almost three weeks since I sent the American Jobs Act to Congress– three weeks since I sent them a bill that would put people back to work and put money inpeople’s pockets. This jobs bill is fully paid for. This jobs bill contains the kinds of proposals thatDemocrats and Republicans have supported in the past. And now I want it back. It is time forCongress to get its act together and pass this jobs bill so I can sign it into law.Some Republicans in Congress have said that they agree with certain parts of this jobs bill. Ifso, it’s time for them to tell me what those proposals are. And if they’re opposed to this jobs bill,I’d like to know what exactly they’re against. Are they against putting teachers and police officersand firefighters back on the job? Are they against hiring construction workers to rebuild our roadsand bridges and schools? Are they against giving tax cuts to virtually every worker and smallbusiness in America?Economists from across the political spectrum have said that this jobs bill would boost theeconomy and spur hiring. Why would you be against that? Especially at a time when so manyAmericans are struggling and out of work.This isn’t just about what I think is right. It’s not just about what a group of economists thinkis right. This is about what the American people want. Everywhere I go, they tell me they wantaction on jobs. Every day, I get letters from Americans who expect Washington to do somethingabout the problems we face.Destiny Wheeler is a sixteen year old from Georgia who wants to go to college. She wrote tome saying, ―Now-a-days it is hard to see myself pushing forward and putting my family in a betterposition, especially since the economy is rough and my starting situation is so poor. Yet, theAmerican Jobs act gives me hope that I might start to receive a better education, that one day jobopportunities will be open for me to grasp, and that one day my personal American Dream will bereached.‖ Destiny needs us to pass this jobs bill.Alice Johnson is an Oregon native who, along with her husband, has been looking for a job forabout two years. She writes, ―I have faithfully applied for work every week…Of the hundreds ofapplications I have put in, I received interview requests for about 10…I too, am sick of allthefighting in Washington DC. Please tell the Republicans that people are hurting and are hungry andneed help, pass the jobs bill.‖ Alice Johnson needs our help.Cathleen Dixon sent me pictures of the aging bridge she drives under when she takes her kidsto school in Chicago every day. She worries about their safety, and writes, ―I am an gry that in thiscountry of vast resources we claim that we cannot maintain basic infrastructure. How can we everhope to preserve or regain our stature in this world, if we cannot find the will to protect our peopleand take care of our basic needs?‖I also heard from Kim Faber, who told me about the small carpet business her husband ownsin New Jersey. ―We hang on by a shoe String,‖ she writes, ―my husband worries every day aboutif checks might bounce, he uses our home loan to put money in the business so they will becovered. Please pass this jobs bill! This is the job creating we need right now! It breaks myhusband’s heart when he has to let people go! Pass the bill!‖Kim said it best: Pass the bill. I know one Republican was quoted as saying that their p artyshouldn’t pass this jobs bill because it would give me a win. Well this isn’t about giving me a win,and it’s not about them. This is about Destiny Wheeler and Alice Johnson. It’s about CathleenDixon’s children, and the Fabers’ family business. These are the people who need a win, and I willbe fighting for this jobs bill every day on their behalf. If anyone watching feels the same way, don’tbe shy about letting your Congressman know. It is time for the politics to end. Let’s pass this jobsbill.Prepared Remarks of PresidentBarack ObamaWeekly AddressSaturday, September 10 , 2011This weekend, we’re coming together, as one nation, to mark the 10th anniversary of theSeptember 11th attacks. We’re reme mbering the lives we lost—nearly 3,000 innocent men,women and children. We’re reaffirming our commitment to always keep faith with theirfamilies.We’re honoring the heroism of first responders who risked their lives—and gave their lives—tosave others. And we’re giving thanks to all who serve on our behalf, especially our troops andmilitary families—our extraordinary 9/11 Generation.At the same time, even as we reflect on a difficult decade, we must look forward, to the futurewe will build together. That includes staying strong and confident in the face of any threat. Andthanks to the tireless efforts of our military personnel and our intelligence, law enforcement andhomeland security professionals—there should be no doubt. Today, America is stronger and alQaeda is on the path to defeat.We’ve taken the fight to al Qaeda like never before. Over the past two and a half years, moresenior al Qaeda leaders have been eliminated than at any time since 9/11. And thanks to theremarkable courage and precision of our forces, we finally delivered justice to Osama bin Laden.We’ve strengthened the partnerships and tools we need to prevail in this war against alQaeda—working closer with allies and partners; reforming intelligence to better detect and disruptplots; investing in our Special Forces so terrorists have no safe haven.We’re constantly working to improve the security of our homeland as well—at our airports,ports and borders; enhancing aviation security and screening; increasing support for our firstresponders; and working closer than ever with states, cities and communities.A decade after 9/11, it’s clear for all the world to see—the terrorists who attacked us thatSeptember morning are no match for the character of our people, the resilience of our nation, orthe endurance of our values.They wanted to terrorize us, but, as Americans, we refuse to live in fear. Yes we face adetermined foe, and make no mistake—they will keep trying to hit us again. But as we are showingagain this weekend, we remain vigi lant. We’re doing everything in our power to protect ourpeople. And no matter what comes our way, as a resilient nation, we will carry on.They wanted to draw us in to endless wars, sapping our strength and confidence as a nation. But even as we put rele ntless pressure on al Qaeda, we’re ending the war in Iraq and beginning tobring our troops home from Afghanistan. Because after a hard decade of war, it is time for nationbuilding here at home.They wanted to deprive us of the unity that defines us as a people. But we will not succumbto division or suspicion. We are Americans, and we are stronger and safer when we stay true tothe values, freedoms and diversity that make us unique among nations.And they wanted to undermine our place in the world. But a d ecade later, we’ve shown thatAmerica doesn’t hunker down and hide behind walls of mistrust. We’ve forged new partnershipswith nations around the world to meet the global challenges that no nation can face alone. Andacross the Middle East and North Africa a new generation of citizens is showing that the futurebelongs to those that want to build, not destroy.Ten years ago, ordinary Americans showed us the true meaning of courage when they rushedup those stairwells, into those flames, into that cockpit. In the decade since, a new generation hasstepped forward to serve and keep us safe. In their memory, in their name, we willnever waver. We will protect the country we love and pass it safer, stronger and more prosperous to the nextgeneration.Prepared Remarks of PresidentBarack ObamaWeekly AddressSaturday, September 17 , 2011I’ve spent some time lately traveling the country and talking with folks outside of Washington. And the number one issue for the people I meet is how we can get back to a place where we’recreating good, middle-class jobs that pay well and offer some security.That’s the idea behind the American Jobs Act. It’s a jobs bill that does two simple things: putmore people back to work, and more money back in the pockets of people who are working.This jobs bill puts construction workers back to work rebuilding our roads and bridges andmodernizing our schools.This jobs bill puts teachers back in the classroom, and keeps cops and firefighters on ourstreets.This jobs bill gives tax credits to companies that hire our veterans, because if you sign up tofight for our country, the last thing you should have to do is fight for a job when you come home.This jobs bill connects the long-term unemployed to temporary work to keep their skills sharpwhile they look for a job, and it gives hundreds of thousands of young people the hope of a jobnext summer.This jobs bill cuts taxes for every small business owner in America. It cuts them even more forsmall busin ess owners that hire new workers and raise workers’ salaries. And it cuts taxes for everyworking family in America so that you’ll have more money in your pockets, and businesses knowthey’ll have customers to buy what they sell.That’s the American Jobs Ac t, and you can check it out for yourself on .It will create new jobs. It will cut taxes for every worker and small business in the country. And it will not add to the deficit. It will be paid for.On Monday, I’ll lay out my plan for how we’ll do that –how we’ll pay for this plan and paydown our debt by following some basic principles: making sure we live within our means andaskingeveryone to pay their fair share.But right now, we’ve got to get Congress to pass this jobs bill. Everything in the AmericanJobs Act is the kind of idea that’s been supported by Democrats and Republicans before. And ifthey’re ideas you agree with, too, every one of you can help make it happen by telling yourcongressperson to pass this jobs bill right away.I know some of them would rather wait another year to wage another election than worktogether right now. But most Americans don’t have the luxury of waiting. It was three years agothis week that a financial crisis on Wall Street made things much more difficult for working folks onMain Street. And too many are still hurting as a result.So the time for action is now. No more games or gridlock. No more division or delay. It’stime for the people you sent to Washington to put country before party –to stop worrying somuch about their jobs and start worrying more about yours.It’s time to get to work and show the world once again why the United States of Americaremains the greatest nation on Earth.Thanks.。

美国总统电台演说 11

美国总统电台演说 11.6This week, Americans across the country cast their votes and made their voices heard. And your message was clear.You’re rightly frustrated with the pace of our economic recovery. So am I.You’re fed up with partisan politics and want r esults. I do too.So I congratulate all of this week’s winners –Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. But now, the campaign season is over. And it’s time to focus on our shared responsibilities to work together and deliver those results: speeding up our economic recovery, creating jobs, and strengthening the middle class so that the American Dream feels like it’s back within reach.That’s why I’ve asked to sit down soon with leaders of both parties so that we can have an extended discussion about what we can do together to move this country forward.And over the next few weeks, we’re going to have a chance to work together in the brief upcoming session of Congress.Here’s why this lame duck session is so important. Early in the last decade, President Bush and Congress enacted a series of tax cuts that were designed to expire at the end of this year.What that means is, if Congress doesn’t act by New Year’s Eve, middle-class families will see their taxes go up starting on New Year’s Day.But the last thing we should do is raise taxes on middle-class families. For the past decade, they saw their costs rise, their incomes fall, and too many jobs go overseas. They’re the ones bearing the brunt of the recession. They’re the ones having tro uble making ends meet. They are the ones who need relief right now.So something’s got to be done.And I believe there’s room for us to compromise and get it done together.Let’s start where we agree. All of us want certainty for middle-class Americans. None of us want them to wake up on January 1st with a higher tax bill. That’s why I believe we should permanently extend the Bushtax cuts for all families making less than $250,000 a year. That’s 98 percent of the American people.We also agree on the need to start cutting spending and bringing down our deficit. That’s going to require everyone to make some tough choices. In fact, if Congress were to implement my proposal to freeze non-security discretionary spending for three years, it would bring this spending down to its lowest level as share of the economy in 50 years.But at a time when we are going to ask folks across the board to make such difficult sacrifices, I don’t see how we can afford to borrow an additional $700 billion from other countries to make all the Bush tax cuts permanent, even for the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans. We’d be digging ourselves into an even deeper fiscal hole and passing the burden on to our children.I recognize that both parties are going to have to work together and compromise to get something done here. But I want to make my priorities clear from the start. One: middle class families need permanent tax relief. And two: I believe we can’t afford to borrow and spend another $700 billion on permanent tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires.There are new public servants in Washington, but we still face the same challenges. And you made it clear that it’s time for results. This a great opportunity to show everyone that we got the message and tha t we’re willing, in this post-election season, to come together and do what’s best for the country we all love.Thanks.Prepared Remarks of PresidentBarack ObamaWeekly AddressSaturday, October 30th, 2010Tuesday is Election Day, and here in Washington, the talk is all about who will win and who will lose – about parties and politics.But around kitchen tables, I’m pretty sure you’re talking about other things: about your family finances, or maybe the state of the economy in your hometown; about your kids, and what their futures will bring. And your hope is that once this election is over, the folks you choose to represent you will put the politics aside for a while, and work together to solve problems.That’s my hope, too.Whatever the outcome on Tuesday, we need to come together to help put people who are still looking for jobs back to work. And there are some practical steps we can take right away to promote growth and encourage businesses to hire and expand. These are steps we should all be able to agree on –not Democratic or Republican ideas, but proposals that have traditionally been supported by both parties.We ought to provide continued tax relief for middle class families who have borne the brunt of the recession. We ought to allow businesses to defer taxes on the equipment they buy next year. And we ought to make the research and experimentation tax credit bigger and permanent – to spur innovation and foster new products and technologies.Beyond these near-term steps, we should work together to tackle the broader challenges facing our country – so that we remain competitive and prosperous in a global economy. That means ensuring that our young people have the skills and education to fill the jobs of a new age. That means building new infrastructure –from high-speed trains to high-speed internet –so that our economy has room to grow. And that means fostering a climate of innovation and entrepreneurship that will allow American businesses and American workers to lead in growth industries like clean energy.On these issues – issues that will determine our success or failure in this new century –I believe it’s the fundamental responsibility of all who hold elective office to seek out common ground. It may not always be easy to find a greement; at times we’ll have legitimate philosophical differences. And it may not always be the best politics. But it is the right thing to do for our country.That’s why I found the recent comments by the top two Republican in Congress so troubling. The Republican leader of the House actually said that “this is not the time for compromise.” And the Republican leader of the Senate said his main goal after this election is simply to win the next one.I know that we’re in the final days of a campaign. S o it’s not surprising that we’re seeing this heated rhetoric.That’spolitics. But when the ballots are cast and the voting is done, we need to put this kind of partisanship aside – win, lose, or draw.In the end, it comes down to a simple choice. We can spend the next two years arguing with one another, trapped in stale debates, mired ingridlock, unable to make progress in solving the serious problems facing our country. We can stand still while our competitors –like China and others around the world –try to pass us by, making the critical decisions that will allow them to gain an edge in new industries.Or we can do what the American people are demanding that we do. We can move forward. We can promote new jobs and businesses by harnessing the talents and ingenuity of our people. We can take the necessary steps to help the next generation – instead of just worrying about the next election. We can live up to an allegiance far stronger than our membership in any political party. And that’s the alleg iance we hold to our country.Thanks .。

拜登副总统电台英语演讲稿三篇

拜登副总统电台英语演讲稿good morning, everyone. this past week, we've seenthe best and the worst of humanity. the heinousterrorist attacks in paris and beirut, in iraq andnigeria. they showed us once again the depths of theterrorist's depravity.and at the same time, we saw the world cometogether in solidarity. parisians opening their doorsto anyone trapped in the street, taxi drivers turningoff their meters to get people home safety, peoplelining up to donate blood. these simple human actsare a powerful reminder that we cannot be broken and in the face of terror, we stand as one.in the wake of these terrible events, i understand the anxiety that many americans feel. ireally do. i don't dismiss the fear of a terrorist bomb going off. there's nothing presidentobama and i take more seriously though, than keeping the american people safe.in the past few weeks though, we've heard an awful lot of people suggest that the best way tokeep america safe is to prevent any syrian refugee from gaining asylum in the united states.so let's set the record straight how it works for a refugee to get asylum. refugees face themost rigorous screening of anyone who comes to the united states. first they arefingerprinted, then they undergo a thorough background check, then they are interviewed bythe department of homeland security. and after that, the fbi, the national counterterrorismcenter, thedepartment of defense and the department of state, they all have to sign off onaccess.and to address the specific terrorism concerns we are talking about now, we've institutedanother layer of checks just for syrian refugees. there is no possibility of being overwhelmedby a flood of refugees landing on our doorstep tomorrow. right now, refugees wait 18 to 24months while the screening process is completed. and unlike in europe, refugees don't set footin the united states until they are thoroughly vetted.let's also remember who the vast majority of these refugees are: women, children, orphans,survivors of torture, people desperately in need of medical help.to turn them away and say there is no way you can ever get here would play right into theterrorists' hands. we know what isil – we know what they hope to accomplish. they flat-outtold us.earlier this year, the top isil leader al-baghdadi revealed the true goal of their attacks. here'swhat he said, he said, “compel the crusaders to actively destroy the gray zone themselves.muslims in the west will quickly find themselves between one and two choices. either apostatizeor emigrate to the islamic state and thereby escape persecution.” so it's clear. it's clearwhat isil wants. they want to manufacture a clash between civilizations. they wantfrightened people to think in terms of “us versus them.”they want us to turn our backs on muslims victimized by terrorism. but this gang of thugspeddling a warped ideology, they will never prevail. the world is united in our resolve to endtheir evil. and the only thing isil can do is spread terror in hopes that we will in turn, turn onourselves. we will betray our ideals and take actions, actions motivated by fear that will drivemore recruits into the arms of isil. that's how they win. we win by prioritizing our security aswe've been doing. refusing to compromise our fundamental american values: freedom,openness, tolerance. that's who we are. that's how we win.may god continue to bless the united states of america and god bless our troops.英语演讲稿：The Strength of trust boys and girls，good afternoon.the content that i will give a lecture today is still about the subject that's unchanged since ancient times to now days，which is friendship. there have been thousands of explanations as for the word "friend". but i resolutely think that there is the best definition to explain it，which is trust. the story that i read recently makes my idea firm.it happened in italy four centuries b.c.a young man named pi sia was sentenced to death，because of having offended thetyrant. pi sia was a filial son， and he asked to see his old mother before death. the king promised him ， but set down the condition that he must find another person to be in prison instead of him. the condition was so critical that it was almost impossible to be realized. but pi sia did find such a man， who was his friend named dameng. then pi sia went home to bid farewell with mother as he wished.days passed quickly， and the term of imprisonment was near at hand，but pi sia had not turned back yet. most people ascertained that pi sia had deceived his friend.it was a rainy day. when demeng was sent to the execution ground，all persons watching around laughed at him，but demeng himself was not worried at all. the rope was hanging on his neck，and just at the critical moment，one person ran quickly through the rain shouting loudly，"please wait，i'm coming!" it was pi sia who turned back in time.this was the most moving curtainin the world. demeng took no care of himself in order to help his friend realize the duty，whose kind of spirit was moved one to tears. while pi sia did not hesitate to take life as the price for performing the promise，whose kind of courage was also rare to meet. my dear friends， do you know why demeng was so calm before death? the reason was that he believed his friend pi sia would not do such despicable thing as deceiving friends. this depended on the strength of trust.this is a true story that is enough to shock everyone. especially to contemporary people who are surrounded by the benefit of themselves，it is more worth of pondering. friendship is the precious deposits of the human world and the coordinate of life， and it may keep the flowers of heart fresh and sweet forever. a true friend is large treasure of your whole life. when you are downhearted，they may encourage you to do all to catch up with the others， and when you are proud of yourself， they may remind you of keeping a clear head with sincere advice. however，in the modern society that regards the real interest as the most supreme power ，friendship becomes fragile and stingy .it is common that good friends known several years fall out to become enemies，and the friendship also becomes the chip of business...in fact friendship will not die out， but people do not know to value it .the famous writer bi shumin once said in a piece of paper， " there is only one fruit in the tree of friendship，which is trust." friendship is a kind of nutrition for people that is the most simple and the most luxurious at the same time，which needs irrigating with trust and true feelings. it is just like the flower living in the comfortable hothouse. only with the attentive care， can it become more and more beautiful. in the modern and changeable age， we should abide by the an-cient rule， which is trust. friendship is so hard that it may exist forever as long as you treat it with heart.trust is one kind of precious feeling in the world. no one can buy it with money， and no one can get it by cheating or force. it comes from the innermost soul of people. just like clean spring，it washes away the dirt of common customs and makes you pure and self-confident. moreover，it can clear away the obstacles in your heart and help you gain more friend-ship.in the real life，what will be kept in the history is not material wealth， but mutual affection being loyal-hearted. let us abandon suspicion，hate out of jealousy，and deal with friends in all sincerity. believing that our eyes will brighten，and there will be even more happy laughter and cheerful voices in our world.大学生英语演讲稿——享受生活、不忘使命in my 18 years of life, there have been many things. university days are the best part of them. i can never forget the days when i stepped into my university. i was impressed by its garden-like campus, its enthusiastic students and especially its learning atmosphere. i at once fell in love with it.after the arduous military training, i get absolutely absorbed in my studies. the classes given by the teachers are excellent. they provide us with information not only from our textbooks but from many other sources as well. they easily arouse my insatiable desire to take in as much as i can.frankly speaking, at first i had some difficulty following the teachers. however, through my own efforts and thanks to my teachers’ guidance, i made remarkable progress. now i’ve benefited a lot from lectures and many other academic reports. learning is a long process; i’ll keep exploring in the treasure house of knowledge to enrich myself. this summer i got out of the ivory tower and entered the real world. a publishing house offered me a part-time job in compilation and revision.at the beginning i was belittled by my colleagues. but they were really surprised when i translated seven english articles over 5,000 words on only one day. gradually, they began to look at me with respectful eyes. in their opinion i turned out to be a useful and trustworthy colleague.i also realize that only those who bring happiness for others can be truly happy. so i often take part in activities concerning public welfare. i once went to a barren mountain village with my classmates. we taught the kids there who could not afford school. while showing them how broad and how civilized the outer world is, i was deeply touched by their eagerness to learn, their honesty and their purity. i couldn’t control my tears on the day when we left. the precious experience with the poor kids made me aware of the responsibility on the shoulders of us, future teachers.besides study and social practice, there are entertainments as well. i do body building every day, hoping to keep healthy and energetic. we also write a play and put it on in our spare time.campus life is the most splendid time. but different people have different choices. the majority of students cherish their beautiful season and cherish the hope that one day they’ll become outstanding. but there are indeed some students still under ignorance. they gather together for eating, drinking or playing cards. they’re busy in searching for a girlfriend or a boyfriend. they forget completely about their mission as college students and the hope of their motherland.finally, i do hope everybody can try their best to become a worthy citizen of the country. i do hope everybody can become the backbone of our nation and make great contributions to society!译文:享受生活、不忘使命在我这xx年的生命中，有着许多美好的经历，而大学生活则是其中最难忘的一段。
