Remarks by President Obama at APEC CEO Summit Beijing, China 4:51 P.M.CST PRESIDENT OBAMA: Thank you so much.Xiàwǔ hǎo.(Applause.)Thank you, Andrew, for that introduction.I have had the pleasure of getting to know Andrew very well these past few years.We have worked him hard –-he helped my administration with strategies for growing high-tech manufacturing to hiring more long-term unemployed.He’s just as good at corporate citizenship as he is at running a corporation.Later I’ll visit Brisbane, where I know Andrew spent some of his youth.I’m sure he’s got some suggestions for fun there, but not necessarily things that a President can do.(Laughter.)We don’t know how he spent his youth, but I’m sure he had some fun.It is wonderful to be back in China, and I’m grateful for the Chinese people’s extraordinary hospitality.This is my sixth trip to Asia as President, and my second this year alone.And that’s because, as I’ve said on each of my visits, America is a thoroughly Pacific nation.We’ve always had a history with Asia.And our future--our security and our prosperity--is inextricably intertwined with Asia.I know the business leaders in attendance today agree.I’ve now had the privilege to address the APEC CEO summit in Singapore, in Yokohama, and in my original hometown of Honolulu, now in Beijing.And I think it’s safe to say that few global forums are watched more closely by the business community.There’s a good reason for that.Taken together, APEC economies account for about 40 percent of the world’s population, and nearly 60 percent of its GDP.That means we’re home to nearly three billion customers, and three-fifths of the global economy.And over the next five years, nearly half of all economic growth outside the United States is projected to come from right here, in Asia.That makes this region an incredible opportunity for creating jobs and economic growth in the United States.And any serious leader in America, whether in politics or in commerce, recognizes that fact.Now the last time I addressed this CEO summit was three years ago.Today, I’ve come back at a moment when, around the world, the United States is leading from a position of strength.This year, of course, has seen its share of turmoil and uncertainty.But whether it’s our fight to degrade and destroy the terrorist network known as ISIL, or to contain and combat the Ebola epidemic in West Africa, the one constant –-the one global necessity –-is and has been American leadership.And that leadership in the world is backed by the renewed strength of our economy at home.Today, our businesses have created 10.6 million jobs over the longest uninterrupted stretch of job growth in American history.We’re on pace for the best year of job growth since the 1990s.Since we started creating jobs again, the U.S.has put more people back to work than Europe, Japan, and every other advanced economy combined.And when you factor in what’s happening in our broader economy –-a manufacturing sector that as Andrew said is growing now at a rapid pace;graduation rates that are rising;deficits that have shrunk by two-thirds;health care inflation at 50-year lows;and an energy boom at new highs –-when you put all this together, what you get is an American economy that is primed for steadier, more sustained growth, and better poised to lead and succeed in the 21st century than just about any other nation on Earth.And you don’t have to take our word for it –-take yours.For two years in a row, business executives like all of you have said that the world's most attractive place to invest is the United States.And we're going to go for a three-peat.We're going to try to make it the same this year.But despite the responsibilities of American leadership around the world, despite our attention to getting our economy growing, there should be no doubt that the United States of America remains entirely committed when it comes to Asia.America is a Pacific power, and we are leading to promote shared security and shared economic growth this century, just as we did in the last.In fact, one of my core messages throughout this trip--from APEC to the East Asia Summit to the G20 in Australia--is that working together we need growth that is balanced, growth that is strong, growth that is sustainable, and growth where prosperity is shared by everybody who is willing to work hard.As President of the United States I make no apologies for doing whatever I can to bring new jobs and new industries to America.But I've always said, in the 21st century, the pursuit of economic growth, job creation and trade is not a zero-sum game.One country's prosperity doesn't have to come at the expense of another.If we work together and act together, strengthening the economic ties between our nations will benefit all of our nations.That's true for the nations of APEC, and I believe it's particularly true for the relationship between the United States and China.(Applause.)I've had the pleasure of hosting President Xi twice in the United States.The last time we met, in California, he pointed out that the Pacific Ocean is big enough for both of our nations.And I agree.The United States welcomes the rise of a prosperous, peaceful and stable China.I want to repeat that.(Applause.)I want to repeat that: We welcome the rise of a prosperous, peaceful and stable China.In fact, over recent decades the United States has worked to help integrate China into the global economy--not only because it's in China's best interest, but because it's in America's best interest, and the world's best interest.We want China to do well.(Applause.)
第二篇：习近平在APEC工商领导人峰会演讲（teniu推荐）
习近平在APEC工商领导人峰会演讲(全文)央广网北京11月9日消息 国家主席习近平于北京时间11月9日9时许出席2014年亚太经合组织（APEC）工商领导人峰会并作主旨演讲。
11月5-11日，2014年亚太经合组织(APEC)领导人会议周在北京举行。作为亚太经合组织系列会议之一，APEC工商领导人峰会每年在APEC领导人会议周期间举办，是各经济体领导人与工商界开展对话交流的重要平台，也是亚太地区最具影响力的工商界活动。
今年的APEC工商领导人峰会于11月8日至10日在北京国家会议中心举行，主题为“亚太新愿景：创新、互联、融合、繁荣”。
据悉，今年参会企业共有1200余家，中外方企业各500余家，人数超过1500名，分别来自APEC21个经济体，以及其他16个国家和地区。其中世界500强企业130家。
习近平主席主旨演讲全文：
尊敬的智利总统巴切莱特女士，尊敬的世界贸易组织总干事阿泽维多先生，女士们、先生们、朋友们，大家好！欢迎亚太工商界的朋友们！去年我们在巴厘岛相约北京，今天同大家重聚，我感到十分高兴。
按照中国的节气，两天前刚刚立冬。秋冬之交是一个多彩的季节，“山明水净夜来霜,数树深红出浅黄”，银杏的黄、枫叶的红，给北京这座古都增添了色彩。经过一年的辛勤耕耘，中国和亚太经合组织成员一道期待在即将举行的第22次领导人非正式会议上收获硕果。
女士们、先生们、朋友们！亚太地区汇集了古老文明和新兴力量，创造了悠久历史和灿烂文化。这里的人民勤劳，这里的山河美丽，这里的发展动力强劲，这里的未来前景光明！今天的亚太占世界人口的40%、经济总量的57%、贸易总量的48%，是全球经济发展速度最快、潜力最大、合作最为活跃的地区，是世界经济复苏和发展的重要引擎。
今天的亚太已经进入新的发展阶段，资金、技术、信息、人员流动达到高水平。亚太大市场初具轮廓，各种区域合作机制蓬勃发展，新倡议、新设想不断涌现。
今天的亚太在世界格局中的地位不断上升，全球新一轮科技革命、产业革命、能源革命蓄势待发。亚太经济体相互联系日益紧密，区域经济一体化的必要性和迫切性更加凸显。
今天的亚太也面临方方面面的挑战。国际金融危机后续影响尚未完全消除，一些经济体的复苏仍然脆弱，亚太经济提高质量和效益任务艰巨，新旧增长点转换任务艰巨，加快区域经济一体化进程方向和重点不一，各种区域自由贸易安排纷纷涌现，导致一些方面面临选择的困惑。
亚太的未来正处在关键的路口，是继续引领世界创造美好未来，还是放慢脚步等待被别人超越；是深化一体化进程，还是陷入碎片化漩涡；是践行开放、包容理念，共同开创亚太世纪，还是身体已经进入21世纪而思维模式还停留在过去。
时代需要大格局，大格局需要大智慧。亚太发展前景取决于今天的决断和行动。我们有责任为本地区人民创造和实现亚太梦想。这个梦想就是坚持亚太大家庭精神和命运共同体意识，顺应和平、发展、合作、共赢的时代潮流，共同致力于亚太繁荣进步；就是继续引领世界发展大势，为人类福祉作出更大贡献；就是让经济更有活力、贸易更加自由、投资更加便利、道路更加畅顺，人与人交往更加密切；就是让人民过上更加安宁、富足的生活，让孩子们成长得更好，工作得更好，生活得更好。我们要为实现这一目标作出更大的努力。
我们要共同建设互信、包容、合作、共赢的亚太伙伴关系，志同道合是伙伴，求同存异也是伙伴。朋友多了路才好走，我们应该通过坦诚深入沟通、增信释疑，应该秉持和而不同理念、尊重彼此对发展道路的选择，应该坚持互利 合作、充分发挥各自优势促进共同发展，应该变赢者通吃为各方共赢，共同做大亚洲发展的蛋糕，共同促进亚太大繁荣。
我们要携手打造开放型亚太经济格局，开放带来进步、封闭导致落后。无论过去、现在、将来，开放都是亚太实现可持续增长的重要前提。既要深化对内开放，让劳动、知识、技术、管理、资本的活力竞相并发，也要扩大对外开放，把成员多样化、差异性转化为发展潜力和动力。既要把区域经济一体化提升到新高度，启动亚太自由贸易区进程，也要坚持开放的区域主义理念，推动建设开放型经济新体制、区域合作架构，让亚太的大门始终向全世界敞开。
我们要不断发掘经济增长新动力。生活从不眷顾因循守旧、满足现状者，而将更多机遇留给勇于和敢于、善于改革创新的人们。在新一轮全球增长面前，唯改革者进，唯创新者强，唯改革创新者胜。我们要拿出“敢为天下先”的勇气，锐意改革，激励创新，积极探索适合自身发展需要的新道路、新模式，不断寻求新增长点和驱动力。
我们要精心勾画全方位互联互通蓝图。亚太互联互通和基础设施建设不仅是实现区域经济一体化的前提，更事关各方长远发展。我们要共同致力于构建覆盖太平洋两岸的亚太互联互通格局。通过硬件的互联互通拉近各经济体的距离，为联接亚太、通达世界铺设道路。通过软件的互联互通，加强政策、法律、规则的衔接和融合，携手打造便利高效的亚太供应链。通过人员往来的互联互通，促进人民友好往来，让信任和友谊生根发芽。
基于上述，中国将“共建面向未来的亚太伙伴关系”确立为今年亚太经合组织会议的主题，并将推动区域经济一体化，促进经济创新发展、改革与增长，加强全方位基础设施和互联互通建设作为重点议题。我坚信，亚太经合组织领导人非正式会议在上述问题上达成的广泛共识，将为亚太持久发展注入新的动力。
女士们、先生们，朋友们！去年在亚太经合组织工商领导人峰会上，我向朋友们介绍了对中国经济发展的信心和继续深化改革的决心。一年过去了，我很高兴我当时的观点得到了印证。今年前三个季度，中国国内生产总值同比增长了7.4%，各项主要经济指标处于合理区间。当前中国经济保持稳定发展态势，城镇就业持续增加，居民收入、企业效益、财政收入平稳增长。更重要的是结构调整出现积极变化，服务业增长势头显著，内需不断地扩大。中国经济呈现出新常态，有几个主要特点：
一是从高速增长转为中高速增长。二是经济结构不断优化升级，第三产业消费需求逐步成为主体，城乡区域差距逐步缩小，居民收入占比上升，发展成果惠及更广大民众。三是从要素驱动、投资驱动转向创新驱动。
新常态将给中国带来新的发展机遇：
第一，新常态下，中国经济增速虽然放缓，实际增量依然可观。经过30多年的高速增长，中国的经济体量已经今非昔比。2013年一年中国经济的增量就相当于1994年全年的经济总量，可以在全世界排到第17位。即使是7%左右的增长，无论是速度还是体量，在全球也是名列前茅的。
第二，新常态下，中国经济增长更趋平稳，增长动力更为多元。有人担心，中国经济增速会不会进一步回落，能不能爬坡过坎？风险确实有，但没有那么可怕。中国经济的强韧性是防范风险的最有力支撑。我们创新宏观调控的思路和方式，以目前确定的战略和所拥有的政策储备，我们有信心、有能力应对各种可能出现的风险。我们正在协同推进新型工业化、城镇化、信息化、农业现代化，这有利于化解各种成长的烦恼。中国经济更多依赖国内消费需求拉动，避免依赖出口的外部风险。
第三，新常态下，中国经济结构优化升级，发展前景更加稳定。今年前三个季度，中国最终消费对经济增长的贡献率为48.5%，超过了投资。服务业增加值占比46.7%，继续超过第二产业。高新技术产业和装备制造业增速分别为12.3%和11.1%，明显高于工业平均增速。单位国内生产总值能耗下降4.6%。这些数据显示，中国经济结构正在发生深刻变化，质量更好、结构更优。
第四，新常态下，中国政府大力简政放权，市场活力进一步释放。简言之，就是要放开政府这只看得见的手，用好市场这只看不见的手。比如我们改 革了企业登记制度，前三个季度全国新登记注册市场主体920万户，新增企业数量较去年增长了60%以上。
同时，我们也清醒地认识到，新常态也伴随着新问题、新矛盾，一些潜在风险渐渐浮出水面。能不能适应新常态，关键在于全面深化改革的力度。我在去年工商领导人峰会上说过，中国改革已经进入攻坚期和深水区。我们要敢于啃硬骨头，敢于涉险滩，敢于向积存多年的顽疾开刀。
中国共产党十八届三中全会就深化改革作出了总体部署，涉及15个领域330多项重大的改革举措。目前，这些改革正在逐项地落实，开弓没有回头箭，我们将坚定不移把改革事业引向深入。
我们全面深化改革就是要激发市场蕴藏的活力。市场活力来自于人，特别是来自于企业家，来自于企业家精神。激发市场活力就是把该放的权放到位，该营造的环境营造好，该制定的规则制定好，让企业家有用武之地。我们强调要更好发挥政府作用，更多从管理者转向服务者，为企业服务、为推动经济社会发展服务。
我们全面深化改革就是要创新拓宽道路。如果说创新是中国发展的新引擎，那么改革就是必不可少的点火器。要采取更加有效的措施把创新引擎全速发动起来，我们致力于发挥创新驱动的原动力作用，更多支持创新型企业，充满活力的中小企业，促进传统产业改造升级，尽快形成新增长点和驱动力。
我们全面深化改革，就是要推进高水平的对外开放。中国致力于构建开放型经济新体制，放宽市场准入，扩大服务业包括资本市场的对外开放，扩大内陆沿边开放；致力于建立发展创新、增长联动、利益融合的开放型亚太经济格局，推动在今年启动亚太自由贸易区进程，制定亚太经合组织推动实现亚太自由贸易区路线图；积极探索准入前国民待遇加负面清单的管理模式，为中国全面深化改革开放探索新途径、积累新经验。
我们全面深化改革，就要增进人民福祉、促进社会公平正义。一切改革归根结底都是为了人民，是为了让老百姓过上好日子。中国实行更加积极的就业创业政策，推动人民收入持续提高。今年前3个季度，中国城镇新增就业108 万人，居民消费价格指数同比上涨2.1%，城镇和农民居民人均收入分别增长6.9%和9.7%。中国正在建设更加公平可持续的社会保障制度，健全公共服务体系，创新社会治理体制。
总之，我们正在推行的全面深化改革，既是对社会生产力的解放，也是对社会活力的解放，必将成为推动中国经济社会发展的强大动力。
女士们、先生们、朋友们！
中国经济同亚太和世界经济的相互联系、相互依存不断加深。中国将集中精力做好自己的事情，也要努力使自身发展更好惠及亚太和世界。中国将奉行与邻为善、以邻为伴的周边外交方针和睦邻、富邻、安邻的周边外交政策，贯彻亲、诚、惠、容的周边外交理念，愿意同所有邻国和睦相处。
据统计，从2005年到2014年上半年，吸收中国投资排名前10位的经济体中有6个是亚太经合组织成员，总额超过2000亿美元。预计未来10年中国对外投资将达1.25万亿美元。今后5年，中国进口商品累计将超过10万亿美元，出境旅游等人数将超过5亿人次。中国发展给亚太和世界带来的机会和利益是巨大的，带来的商机是持久和无限的。
随着综合国力上升，中国有能力、有意愿向亚太和全球提供更多公共产品，特别是为促进区域合作深入发展提出新倡议新设想。中国愿意同各国一道推进“一带一路”建设，更加深入参与区域合作进程，为亚太互联互通、发展繁荣作出新贡献。
在此，我高兴地向大家宣布，亚洲基础设施投资银行筹建工作已经迈出实质性一步，创始成员国不久前在北京签署了政府间谅解备忘录。中国还将出资400亿美元成立丝路基金，为“一带一路”沿线国基础设施建设、资源开发、产业合作等有关项目提供投融资支持。我们愿同大家一道努力，推动亚洲基础设施投资银行及早投入运作，成为各方在互联互通、金融等领域开展合作的新平台。
女士们、先生们、朋友们！工商界是亚太和世界经济发展的重要推动力量，为促进亚太经济增长、引领世界经济复苏发挥了积极作用，也为中国改革开放和现代化事业作出了重大贡献。中国欢迎亚太工商界人士积极参与中国改革开放和现代化进程，共享中国改革发展带来的成果。
随着亚太区域经济合作不断走向务实和深化，亚太经合组织的一些合作倡议正在开花结果，为本地区企业和公司带来很多实实在在的好处。希望大家积极利用自身在信息、技术、资金等方面的独特优势，结合工商界实际需要，就推动贸易和投资自由便利化、深化区域经济一体化、亚太经合组织长远发展等重大问题建言献策。
女士们、先生们、朋友们！
展望未来，世界和亚太的发展繁荣面临前所未有的历史机遇，也面临更为复杂的风险挑战。亚太各方应该顺应时代大潮，携手共建面向未来的亚太伙伴关系，共襄区域合作盛举，共创亚太美好的未来！
最后，预祝这次会议取得圆满成功！谢谢大家。

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.its 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 first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.its the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, democrat and republican, black, white, hispanic, asian, native american, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled.americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of inpiduals or a collection of red states and blue states.we are, and always will be, the united states of america.its the answer that led those whove been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about 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.a little bit earlier this evening, i received an extraordinarily gracious call from sen.mccain.sen.mccain fought long and hard in this campaign.and hes fought even longer and harder for the country that he loves.he has endured sacrifices for america that most of us cannot begin to imagine.we are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader.i congratulate him;i congratulate gov.palin for all that theyve achieved.and i look forward to working with them to renew this nations 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 the train home to delaware, the vice president-elect of the united states, joe biden.and i would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years the rock of our family, the love of my life, the nations next first lady michelle obama.and while shes no longer with us, i know my grandmothers watching, along with the family that made me who i am.i miss them tonight.i know that my debt to them is beyond measure.to my sister maya, my sister alma, all my other brothers and sisters, thank you so much for all the support that youve given me.i am grateful to them.and to my campaign manager, david plouffe, the unsung hero of this campaign, who built the best--the best political campaign, i think, in the history of the united states of america.to my chief strategist david axelrod whos been a partner with me every step of the way.to the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics you made this happen, and i am forever grateful for what youve sacrificed to get it done.but above all, i will never forget who this victory truly belongs to.it belongs to you.it belongs to you.i was never the likeliest candidate for this office.we didnt 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 $5 and $10 and $20 to the cause.it grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generations apathy who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep.it drew strength from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on doors of perfect strangers, and 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 the earth.this is your victory.and i know you didnt do this just to win an election.and i know you didnt 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 the children fall asleep and wonder how theyll make the mortgage or pay their doctors bills or save enough for their childs college education.theres new energy to harness, new jobs to be created, new schools to build, and threats to meet, alliances to repair.the road ahead will be long.our climb will be steep.we may not get there in one year or even in 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 wont agree with every decision or policy i make as president.and we know the government cant 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 to join in the work of remaking this nation, the only way its been done in america for 221 years--block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.what began 21 months ago in the depths of winter cannot 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 cant happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice.so let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility, where each of篇四：奥巴马竞选演讲及相关视频下载(迅雷可下)奥巴马就职演讲视频和音频下载（1月20日），下载地址

vice president biden, mr.chief justice, members of the united states congress, distinguished guests, and fellow citizens: 副总统拜登、首席法官、美国国会议员、尊敬的客人和美国同胞们： each time we gather to inaugurate a president we bear witness to the enduring strength of our constitution.we affirm the promise of our democracy.we recall that what binds this nation together is not the colors of our skin or the tenets of our faith or the origins of our names.what makes us exceptionalis our allegiance to an idea articulated in a declaration made more than two centuries ago: 每次聚在一起举行总统就职仪式时，我们总能见证到宪法经久不衰的力量。我们肯定民主的承诺。我们回忆起，团结这个国家的力量不是皮肤的颜色、所信奉的教条或名字的起源。让我们与众不同、成为美国人的是源自对一个理念的效忠，它早在2个多世纪前就在一份宣言中有过明确表述：
“we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal;that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights;that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
“我们认为这一真理是不言自明的：人人生而平等，并由造物主赋予了某些不可转让的权利，其中包括生命、自由和追求幸福的权利。” today we continue a never-ending journey to bridge the meaning of those words with the realities of our time.for history tells us that while these truths may be self-evident, they’ve never been self-executing;that while freedom is a gift from god, it must be secured by his people here on earth.(applause.)the patriots of 1776 did not fight to replace the tyranny of a king with the privileges of a few or the rule of a mob.they gave to us a republic, a government of, and by, and for the people, entrusting each generation to keep safe our founding creed.今天，为了缩小这些文字意义与当今现实间的差距，我们将继续这场没有尽头的旅程。因为历史告诉我们，虽然这些真理也许不言自明，但它们从不会自动生效；虽然自由是来自上帝的礼物，但它必须由地球上的子民们去争取。1776年的爱国者们不是为了用少数人的特权或乌合之众的法则取代国王的暴政而战斗。他们给予我们的是一个共和国、一个民有、民治、民享的政府，并委托每一代人去捍卫我们的建国理念。and for more than two hundred years, we have.两百多年来，我们一直如此。through blood drawn by lash and blood drawn by sword, we learned that no union founded on the principles of liberty and equality could survive half-slave and half-free.we made ourselves anew, and vowed to move forward together.通过皮鞭抽打和刀剑割划流出的鲜血，我们学到，没有哪个建立在自由平等原则上的联盟能够容忍半奴隶半自由的状态。我们重塑自我，并发誓一同前进。我们一同决定，一个现代经济体需要铁路和高速路来促进旅游和商务，需要学校和大学来培训我们的工人。
我们一同发现，一个自由市场只有当规则能确保公平竞争时才能够繁荣。together, we resolved that a great nation must care for the vulnerable, and protect its people from life’s worst hazards and misfortune.我们一同下定决定，一个伟大的国家必须照顾弱者，并保护他们不受到生活最恶劣的伤害和不幸。
through it all, we have never relinquished our skepticism of central authority, nor have we succumbed to the fiction that all society’s ills can be cured through government alone.our celebration of initiative and enterprise, our insistence on hard work and personal responsibility, these are constants in our character.通过以上所有，我们从未放弃过对中央集权的质疑，也未曾对光靠政府就能解决所有社会弊病的幻想有过屈服。对首创精神和进取精神的歌颂、对勤劳和责任的坚持已经成为我们性格中无法改变的一部分。but we have always understood that when times change, so must we;that fidelity to our founding principles requires new responses to new challenges;that preserving our inpidual freedoms ultimately requires collective action.for the american people can no more meet the 但是我们一直懂得，当时代改变时，我们也必须做出相应的改变：忠于建国原则需要我们以新的方式应对新的挑战；保证个人自由最终需要我们采取集体行动。因为没有哪个美国人能独自满足当今世界的需求，就像美国士兵无法独自迎战拥有枪弹和民兵的法西斯主义。没有哪一个人能为我们孩子的未来培训所有的数学和理科教师，或是通过修路联网和建立研究型实验室给我们海岸带来更多就业和商业活动。作为一个国家、一个民族，我们现在比以往任何时候都有必要团结一致，共同去做这些事。this generation of americans has been tested by crises that steeled our resolve and proved our resilience.a decade of war is now ending.(applause.)an economic recovery has begun.(applause.)america’s possibilities are limitless, for we possess all the qualities that this world without boundaries demands: youth and drive;persity and openness;an endless capacity for risk and a gift for reinvention.my fellow americans, we are made for this moment, and we will seize it-so long as we seize it together.(applause.)这代美国人经受过多次危机的考验，锻炼了我们的意志，证明了我们的韧性。十年的战争即将结束，经济已经开始复苏。美国有着无限可能，因为我们拥有这个无国界的世界所要求的一切品质：青春和动力，多样性和开放性，掌控风险无穷的能力和进行彻底改造的天赋。我亲爱的美国同胞们，我们为此刻而生，只要我们能一同抓住这个机遇，我们就能把它紧紧抓牢。
for we, the people, understand that our country cannot succeed when a shrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make it.(applause.)we believe that america’s prosperity must rest upon the broad shoulders of a rising middle class.we know that america thrives when every person can find independence and pride in their work;when the wages of honest labor liberate families from the brink of hardship.we are true to our creed when a little girl born into the bleakest poverty knows that she has the same chance to succeed as anybody else, because she is an american;she is free, and she is equal, not just in the eyes of god but also in our own.(applause.)因为，作为人民的我们知道，只有少数人过得好，而越来越多人生活无法好转时，我们的国家就无法成功。我们相信，美国的繁荣必须建立在一个愈加庞大的中产阶级宽阔的肩膀上。我们知道，只有当每个人都能在自己的工作中找到独立和自豪，只有当诚实劳动所换得的工资能将家人从困苦的边缘解救出来时，美国才能繁荣。
第五篇：奥巴马在夏威夷apec会议上的演讲
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Good afternoon, everybody.Aloha.I want to begin by thanking the people of Hawaii for their extraordinary hospitality.Usually when Michelle and I and our daughters come back to visit, it's just one President, and this time we brought 21.So thank you so much for the incredible graciousness of the people of Hawaii--and their patience, because I know that traffic got tied up a little bit.Now, the single greatest challenge for the United States right now, and my highest priority as President, is creating jobs and putting Americans back to work.And one of the best ways to do that is to increase our trade and exports with other nations.Ninety-five percent of the world's consumers are beyond our borders.I want them to be buying goods with three words stamped on them: Made in America.So I've been doing everything I can to make sure that the United States is competing aggressively for the jobs and the markets of the future.No region will do more to shape our long-term economic future than the Asia Pacific region.As I've said, the United States is, and always will be, a Pacific nation.Many of our top trading partners are in this region.This is where we sell most of our exports, supporting some 5 million American jobs.And since this is the world's fastest growing region, the Asia Pacific is key to achieving my goal of doubling U.S.exports--a goal, by the way, which we are on track right now to meet.And that's why I've been proud to host APEC this year.It's been a chance to help lead the way towards a more seamless regional economy with more trade, more exports, and more jobs for our people.And I'm pleased that we've made progress in three very important areas.First, we agreed to a series of steps that will increase trade and bring our economies even closer.We agreed to a new set of principles on innovation to encourage the entrepreneurship that creates new businesses and new industries.With simplified customs and exemptions from certain tariffs we'll encourage more businesses to engage in more trade.And that includes our small businesses, which account for the vast majority of the companies in our economies.We agreed to a new initiative that will make it easier and faster for people to travel and conduct business across the region.And yesterday, I was pleased to sign legislation, a new travel card that will help our American businessmen and women travel more easily and get deals done in this region.I'd note that we also made a lot of progress increasing trade on the sidelines of APEC.As I announced yesterday, the United States and our eight partners reached the broad outlines of an agreement on the Trans-Pacific Partnership.And today I’m pleased that Japan, Canada and Mexico have now expressed an interest in this effort.This comes on the heels of our landmark trade agreements with South Korea, Panama and Colombia, which will support tens of thousands of American jobs.And in my meeting with President Medvedev, we discussed how to move ahead with Russia’s accession to the WTO, which will also mean more exports for American manufacturers and American farmers and ranchers.Second, APEC agreed on ways to promote the green growth we need for our energy security.We agreed to reduce tariffs on environmental goods and make it easier to export clean energy technologies that create green jobs.We raised the bar on ourselves and we’ll aim for even higher energy efficiencies.And we’re moving ahead with the effort to phase out fossil fuel subsidies.This would be a huge step toward creating clean energy economies and fighting climate change, which is a threat to both the beauty and the prosperity of the region.Third, we’re redoubling our efforts to make sure that regulations are encouraging trade and job creation, not discouraging trade and job creation.And this builds on the work that we’re doing in the United States to get rid of rules and regulations that are unjustified and that are overly burdensome.Our APEC partners are joining us in streamlining and coordinating regulations so that we’re sparking innovation and growth even as we protect public health and our environment.And finally, since many of the leaders here were also at the recent G20 summit, we continued our efforts to get the global economy to grow faster.APEC makes up more than half the global economy, and it will continue to play a key role in achieving the strong and balanced growth that we need.As I’ve said, as the world’s largest economy, the best thing that the United States can do for the global economy is to grow our own economy faster.And so I will continue to fight for the American Jobs Act so that we can put our people back to work.I was glad to see that Congress moved forward on one aspect of the jobs bill--tax credits for companies that are hiring veterans.But we’ve got to do a lot more than that.So, again, I want to thank the people of Hawaii for their extraordinary hospitality and for all that they’ve done to help make this summit such a success.I want to thank my fellow leaders for the seriousness and sense of common purpose that they brought to our work.And I believe that the progress we’ve made here will help create jobs and keep America competitive in a region that is absolutely vital not only for our economy but also for our national security.So, with that, I’m going to take a few questions.I’ll start with Ben Feller of AP.Q
Thank you very much, Mr.President.I’d like to ask you about Iran.Did you get any specific commitments from Russia or China on tightening sanctions? Did you move them at all? And do you fear the world is running out of options short of military intervention to keep Iran from getting nuclear weapons?
PRESIDENT OBAMA: One of the striking things over the last three years since I came into office is the degree of unity that we’ve been able to forge in the international community with respect to Iran.When I came into office, the world was pided and Iran was unified around its nuclear program.We now have a situation where the world is united and Iran is isolated.And because of our diplomacy and our efforts, we have, by far, the strongest sanctions on Iran that we’ve ever seen.And China and Russia were critical to making that happen.Had they not been willing to support those efforts in the United Nations, we would not be able to see the kind of progress that we’ve made.And they’re having an impact.All our intelligence indicates that Iran’s economy is suffering as a consequence of this.And we’re also seeing that Iran’s influence in the region has ebbed, in part because their approach to repression inside of Iran is contrary to the Arab Spring that has been sweeping the Middle East.So we are in a much stronger position now than we were two or three years ago with respect to Iran.Having said that, the recent IAEA report indicates what we already knew, which is, although Iran does not possess a nuclear weapon and is technically still allowing IAEA observers into their country, that they are engaging in a series of practices that are contrary to their international obligations and their IAEA obligations.And that’s what the IAEA report indicated.So what I did was to speak with President Medvedev, as well as President Hu, and all three of us entirely agree on the objective, which is making sure that Iran does not weaponize nuclear power and that we don’t trigger a nuclear arms race in the region.That’s in the interests of all of us.In terms of how we move forward, we will be consulting with them carefully over the next several weeks to look at what other options we have available to us.The sanctions have enormous bite and enormous scope, and we’re building off the platform that has already been established.The question is, are there additional measures that we can take.And we’re going to explore every avenue to see if we can solve this issue diplomatically.I have said repeatedly and I will say it today, we are not taking any options off the table, because it’s my firm belief that an Iran with a nuclear weapon would pose a security threat not only to the region but also to the United States.But our strong preference is to have Iran meet its international obligations, negotiate diplomatically, to allow them to have peaceful use of nuclear energy in accordance with international law, but at the same time, forswear the weaponization of nuclear power.And so we’re going to keep on pushing on that.And China and Russia have the same aims, the same objectives, and I believe that we’ll continue to cooperate and collaborate closely on that issue.Dan Lothian.Q
Thank you, Mr.President.Last night at the Republican debate, some of the hopefuls--they hope to get your job--they defended the practice of waterboarding, which is a practice that you banned in 2009.Herman Cain said, “I don’t see that as torture.”
Michelle Bachmann said that it’s “very effective.”
So I’m wondering if you think that they’re uninformed, out of touch, or irresponsible?
PRESIDENT OBAMA: That’s a multiple-choice question, isn’t it?(Laughter.)Let me just say this: They’re wrong.Waterboarding is torture.It’s contrary to America’s traditions.It’s contrary to our ideals.That’s not who we are.That’s not how we operate.We don’t need it in order to prosecute the war on terrorism.And we did the right thing by ending that practice.If we want to lead around the world, part of our leadership is setting a good example.And anybody who has actually read about and understands the practice of waterboarding would say that that is torture.And that's not something we do--period.Norah O'Donnell.Q
Thank you, Mr.President.If I could continue on that, the Republicans did have a debate on CBS last night.A lot of it was about foreign policy, and they were very critical of your record--
PRESIDENT OBAMA: That's shocking.(Laughter.)
Q
So if I could get you to respond to something that Mitt Romney said.He said your biggest foreign policy failure is Iran.He said that if you are reelected Iran will have a nuclear weapon.Is Mitt Romney wrong?
PRESIDENT OBAMA: I am going to make a practice of not commenting on whatever is said in Republican debates until they've got an actual nominee.But as I indicated to Ben in the earlier question, you take a look at what we've been able to accomplish in mobilizing the world community against Iran over the last three years and it shows steady, determined, firm progress in isolating the Iranian regime, and sending a clear message that the world believes it would be dangerous for them to have a nuclear weapon.Now, is this an easy issue? No.Anybody who claims it is, is either politicking or doesn’t know what they're talking about.But I think not only the world, but the Iranian regime understands very clearly how determined we are to prevent not only a nuclear Iran but also a nuclear arms race in the region, and a violation of nonproliferation norms that would have implications around the world, including in the Asia Pacific region where we have similar problems with North Korea.David Nakamura.Q
Thank you, Mr.President.Yesterday in a speech before business leaders, you said that you want China to play by the rules.And then your staff later said that, in a bilateral meeting with President Hu, that you expressed that American business leaders are growing frustrated with the pace of change in China's economy.What rules is China not playing by? What specific steps do you need to see from China? And what punitive actions is your administration willing to take, as you said it would yesterday, if China does not play by the rules?
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Well, first of all, I also said yesterday that we welcome the peaceful rise of China.It is in America's interests to see China succeed in lifting hundreds of millions of people out of poverty.China can be a source of stability and help to underwrite international norms and codes of conduct.And so what we've done over the last two years is to try to develop a frank, consistent, open relationship and dialogue with China, and it's yielded considerable benefits--for example, support for issues like Iran.But what I've also said to Chinese leadership since I came into office is that when it comes to their economic practices, there are a range of things that they have done that disadvantage not just the United States but a whole host of their trading partners and countries in the region.The most famous example is the issue of China's currency.Most economists estimate that the RMB is devalued by 20 to 25 percent.That means our exports to China are that much more expensive, and their imports into the United States are that much cheaper.Now, there's been slight improvement over the last year, partly because of U.S.pressure, but it hasn’t been enough.And it's time for them to go ahead and move towards a market-based system for their currency.We recognize they may not be able to do it overnight, but they can do it much more quickly than they’ve done it so far.And, by the way, that would not necessarily be a bad thing for the Chinese economy, because they’ve been so focused on export-driven growth that they’ve neglected domestic consumption, building up domestic markets.It makes them much more vulnerable to shocks in the global economy.It throws the whole world economy out of balance because they’re not buying as much as they could be from other countries.And this is not something that’s inconsistent with where Chinese leadership say they want to go.The problem is, is that you’ve got a bunch of export producers in China who like the system as it is, and making changes are difficult for them politically.I get it.But the United States and other countries, I think understandably, feel that enough is enough.That’s not the only concern we have.Intellectual property rights and protections--companies that do business in China consistently report problems in terms of intellectual property not being protected.Now, that’s particularly important for an advanced economy like ours, where that’s one of our competitive advantages, is we’ve got great engineers, great entrepreneurs, we’re designing extraordinary new products.And if they get no protection and the next thing you know China is operating as a low-cost producer and not paying any fees or revenues to folks who invented these products, that’s a problem.So those are two examples, but there are a number of others.These practices aren’t secret.I think everybody understands that they’ve been going on for quite some time.Sometimes, American companies are wary about bringing them up because they don’t want to be punished in terms of their ability to do business in China.But I don’t have that same concern, so I bring it up.And in terms of enforcement, the other thing that we’ve been doing is actually trying to enforce the trade laws that are in place.We’ve brought a number of cases--one that the U.S.press may be familiar with are the cases involving U.S.tires, where we brought very aggressive actions against China and won.And as a consequence, U.S.producers are in a better position, and that means more U.S.jobs.So I think we can benefit from trade with China.And I want certainly to continue cultivating a constructive relationship with the Chinese government, but we’re going to continue to be firm in insisting that they operate by the same rules that everybody else operates under.We don’t want them taking advantage of the United States or U.S.businesses.Jake Tapper.Q
Thank you, Mr.President.The other day you told ESPN that the scandal at Penn State--which you said was heartbreaking--should prompt some soul-searching throughout the nation.I’m wondering if you could elaborate on that, what exactly you meant and--I know you’re a big fan of college sports--if this something you think that is an indictment not just of what happened at Penn State, allegedly, but how athletics are revered in universities.PRESIDENT OBAMA: Well, I think that’s the kind of soul-searching that I was referring to, Jake.You’re right, I’m a big college sports fan.I think that when it’s kept in perspective, college athletics not only provides a great outlet for competition for our young people, but helps to bring a sense of community and can help to brand a university in a way that is fun and important.But what happened at Penn State indicates that at a certain point, folks start thinking about systems and institutions and don’t think about inpiduals.And when you think about how vulnerable kids are, for the alleged facts of that case to have taken place and for folks not to immediately say, nothing else matters except making sure those kids are protected, that’s a problem.It’s not unique to a college sports environment.I mean, we’ve seen problems in other institutions that are equally heartbreaking.Not all of them involve children, by the way.There have been problems, obviously, with respect to sexual abuse or assault directed against women, where institutions sort of closed ranks instead of getting on top of it right away.And that’s why I said I think all institutions, not just universities or sports programs, have to step back and take stock, and make sure that we’re doing everything we can to protect people who may be vulnerable in these circumstances, but also just keep in mind what’s important--making sure that our excitement about a college sports program doesn’t get in the way of our basic human response when somebody is being hurt.And it’s been said that evil can thrive in the world just by good people standing by and doing nothing.And all of us I think have occasion where we see something that’s wrong, we’ve got to make sure that we step up.That’s true in college athletics.That’s true in our government.That’s true everywhere.Julianna Goldman.Q
Thank you, Mr.President.In conversations that you’ve had over the past couple of days with Asia Pacific leaders, have any of them brought up the rhetoric that we’re seeing from Republican presidential candidates when it comes to China? And does that kind of rhetoric or posturing jeopardize the progress that your administration has made with China and the Asia Pacific region as a whole?
THE PRESIDENT: I think most leaders here understand that politics is not always measured or on the level, and so most of our discussions have to do with substance: How do we put our people back to work right now? How do we expand trade? How do we expand exports?
I’ve been very frank with Chinese leaders, though, in saying that the American people across the board--left, right and center--believe in trade, believe in competition.We think we’ve got the best workers in the world.We think we’ve got the best universities, the best entrepreneurs, the best free market.We’re ready to go out there and compete with anybody.But there is a concern across the political spectrum that the playing field is not level right now.And so, in conversations with President Hu and others, what I’ve tried to say is we have the opportunity to move in a direction in which this is a win-win: China is benefiting from trade with the United States;the United States is benefiting as well.Jobs are being created in the United States and not just in China.But right now things are out of kilter.And that is something that is shared across the board, as we saw with the recent vote on the Chinese currency issue in the Senate.And I think leaders in the region understand that as China grows, as its economic influence expands, that the expectation is, is that they will be a responsible leader in the world economy--which is what the United States has tried to do.I mean, we try to set up rules that are universal, that everybody can follow, and then we play by those rules.And then we compete fiercely.But we don’t try to game the system.That’s part of what leadership is about.China has the opportunity to be that same type of leader.And as the world’s second-largest economy, I think that’s going to be important not just for this region, but for the world.But that requires them to take responsibility, to understand that their role is different now than it might have been 20 years ago or 30 years ago, where if they were breaking some rules, it didn’t really matter, it did not have a significant impact.You weren’t seeing huge trade imbalances that had consequences for the world financial system.Now they’ve grown up, and so they’re going to have to help manage this process in a responsible way.Laura Meckler.Q
Thank you, Mr.President.Why did you get rid of the aloha shirts and the grass skirts?(Laughter.)Are you at all concerned that it not appear that you’re having a party over here while so many people are living with such a tough economy? And I’m wondering if those perceptions were at all on your mind as you were making plans for this trip, which, by necessity, takes you to some pretty exotic and fun locations.PRESIDENT OBAMA: I got rid of the Hawaiian shirts because I had looked at pictures of some of the previous APEC meetings and some of the garb that had appeared previously, and I thought this may be a tradition that we might want to break.I suggested to the leaders--we gave them a shirt, and if they wanted to wear the shirt, I promise you it would have been fine.But I didn’t hear a lot of complaints about us breaking precedent on that one.With respect to this trip, look, this is a pretty nice piece of scenery here and I take enormous pride in having been raised in the state of Hawaii, but we’re here for business.We’re here to create jobs.We’re here to promote exports.And we’ve got a set of tangible, concrete steps that have been taken that are going to make our economy stronger, and that’s part of what our leadership has been about.When I went to Europe last week, our job was to help shape a solution for the European crisis.And a lot of folks back home might have wondered, well, that’s Europe’s problem;why are we worrying about it? Well, if Europe has a major recession, and the financial system in Europe starts spinning out of control, that will have a direct impact on U.S.growth and our ability to create jobs and people raising their living standards.The same is true out here.If we’re not playing out here in the world’s largest regional economy and the world’s fastest regional economy, if we’ve abandoned the field and we’re not engaged, American businesses will lose out and those jobs won’t be in the United States of America.So part of my job is to make sure that the rules of the road are set up so that our folks can compete effectively.Part of my job is to sell America and our products and our services around the world, and I think we’ve done so very effectively.And as I said, just to take the example of exports, we’re on track to double our exports since I came into office.That was a goal I set, and we’re on track to meet it.That’s actually been one of the stronger parts of our economic growth over the last couple of years.And I want to make sure that we keep on driving that.Chuck Todd.Q
Thank you, Mr.President.The Republican co-chair of the super committee, Jeb Hensarling, went on TV today and said if the sequester happens--this idea of the automatic cuts in Medicare and defense--that there was plenty of motivation and plenty of votes to change the makeup of these automatic cuts.I know you had a conversation with him about this and said that changing it in any way was off the table, that means you’re going to veto this bill, if that’s the case, if it ends up they can’t get a deal in the next 10 days.And then, can you clarify your end of the “hot mic” conversation with French President Nicolas Sarkozy, as it involved Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu?
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Could I just say that Chuck is the only guy who asked two questions--so far.So just--when I cut off here, whoever was next in the queue--I’m messing with you, Chuck.With respect to the super committee, in August we negotiated to initiate a trillion dollars in cuts over the next 10 years--primarily out of discretionary spending--but we also said that in order for us to move towards a more stable fiscal condition that we’re going to have to get an additional $1.2 trillion--minimum.I actually argued that we needed more than that.And the whole idea of the sequester was to make sure that both sides felt obligated to move off rigid positions and do what was required to help the country.And since that time, they’ve had a lot of conversations, but it feels as if people continue to try to stick with their rigid positions rather than solve the problem.Now, I’ve put forward a very detailed approach that would achieve $3 trillion-plus in savings.And it’s the sort of balanced approach that the American people prefer.It says everything is on the table.We’ve got to have discretionary spending cuts of the sort we’ve already put in place.We’ve got to have non-defense cuts.We’ve got to have defense cuts.We’re going to have to look at entitlement programs.We’ve got to reduce our health care costs.And we’re going to need additional revenue.And when we’re talking about revenue, if we’ve got to raise money, it makes sense for us to start by asking the wealthiest among us to pay a little bit more before we start asking seniors, for example, to pay a lot more for their Medicare.Now, this is the same presentation that I made to Speaker Boehner back in August.It’s the same kind of balanced approach that every single independent committee that’s looked at this has said needs to be done.And it just feels as if people keep on wanting to jigger the math so that they get a different outcome.Well, the equation, no matter how you do it, is going to be the same.If you want a balanced approach that doesn’t gut Medicare and Medicaid, doesn’t prevent us from making investments in education and basic science and research--all the things we’ve been talking about here at APEC, that every world leader understands is the key for long-term economic success--then prudent cuts have to be matched up with revenue.My hope is that over the next several days, the congressional leadership on the super committee go ahead and bite the bullet and do what needs to be done--because the math won’t change.There’s no magic formula.There are no magic beans that you can toss on the ground and suddenly a bunch of money grows on trees.We got to just go ahead and do the responsible thing.And I’m prepared to sign legislation that is balanced, that solves this problem.One other thing that I want to say about this: When I meet with world leaders, what’s striking--whether it’s in Europe or here in Asia--the kinds of fundamental reforms and changes both on the revenue side and the public pension side that other countries are having to make are so much more significant than what we need to do in order to get our books in order.This doesn’t require radical changes to America or its way of life.It just means that we spread out the sacrifice across every sector so that it’s fair;so that people don’t feel as if once again people who are well connected, people who have lobbyists, special interests get off easy, and the burden is placed on middle-class families that are already struggling.So if other countries can do it, we can do it--and we can do it in a responsible way.I’m not going to comment on whether I’d veto a particular bill until I actually see a bill, because I still hold out the prospect that there’s going to be a light-bulb moment where everybody says “Ah-ha!Here’s what we’ve got to do.”
With respect to the “hot mic” in France, I’m not going to comment on conversations that I have with inpidual leaders, but what I will say is this: The primary conversation I had with President Sarkozy in that meeting revolved around my significant disappointment that France had voted in favor of the Palestinians joining UNESCO, knowing full well that under our laws, that would require the United States cutting off funding to UNESCO, and after I had consistently made the argument that the only way we’re going to solve the Middle East situation is if Palestinians and Israelis sit down at the table and negotiate;that it is not going to work to try to do an end run through the United Nations.So I had a very frank and firm conversation with President Sarkozy about that issue.And that is consistent with both private and public statements that I’ve been making to everybody over the last several months.Ed Henry.Q
Mr.President, I have three questions--(laughter)--starting with Mitt Romney.Just one question, I promise.(Laughter.)
You started with a $447-billion jobs bill.Two months later, many speeches later, you’ve got virtually nothing from that.You’ve got the veterans jobs bill--which is important, obviously--and a lot of executive orders.Are you coming to the realization that you may just get nothing here and go to the American people in 2012 without another jobs bill, 9 percent unemployment, and then wondering about your leadership, sir?
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Well, I think--I think, first of all, the American people, at this point, are wondering about congressional leadership in failing to pass the jobs bill, the components of which the majority of Americans, including many Republicans, think are a good idea.And that's part of the reason why the American people right now aren’t feeling real good about Congress.Normally, by the way, the way politics works is if the overwhelming majority of the American people aren’t happy with what you're doing you start doing something different.So far that hasn’t happened in Congress--and the Republicans in Congress, in particular.They don't seem to have that same sense of urgency about needing to put people back to work.I'm going to keep on pushing.My expectation is, is that we will get some of it done now, and I'll keep on pushing until we get all of it done.And that may take me all the way to November to get it all done.And it may take a new Congress to get it all done.But the component parts--cutting taxes for middle-class families, cutting taxes for small businesses that are hiring our veterans and hiring the long-term unemployed, putting teachers back in the classroom--here in the state of Hawaii, you have a bunch of kids who are going to school four days a week because of budget problems.How are we going to win the competition in the 21st century with our kids going to school basically halftime? The jobs bill would help alleviate those budget pressures at the state level.Rebuilding our infrastructure.Every world leader that you talk to, they're saying to themselves, how can we make sure we've got a first-class infrastructure? And as you travel through the Asia Pacific region, you see China having better airports than us, Singapore having superior ports to ours.Well, that's going to impact our capacity to do business here, our capacity to trade, our capacity to get U.S.products made by U.S.workers into the fastest-growing market in the world.And by the way, we could put a lot of people back to work at the same time.So I'm going to keep on pushing.And my expectation is, is that we will just keep on chipping away at this.If you're asking me do I anticipate that the Republican leadership in the House or the Senate suddenly decide that I was right all along and they will adopt a hundred percent of my proposals, the answer is, no, I don't expect that.Do I anticipate that at some point they recognize that doing nothing is not an option? That's my hope.And that should be their hope, too, because if they don't, I think we'll have a different set of leaders in Congress.All right? Thank you very much, everybody.Thank you.
