16.Continuing to Grow the Economy in the New Year Saturday, January 7, 2012
Hello, everybody.This week, I traveled to Cleveland, Ohio, to talk with folks about the biggest challenge we face as a country – rebuilding our economy so that, once again, hard work pays off, responsibility is rewarded, and anyone, regardle of who they are or where they come from, can make it if they try.That’s the economy America deserves.That’s the economy I’m fighting every day to build.Now, to get there, the most important thing we need to do is get more Americans back to work.And over the past three years, we’ve made steady progre.We just learned that our economy added 212,000 private sector jobs in December.After losing more than 8 million jobs in the receion, we’ve added more than 3 million private sector jobs over the past 22 months.And we’re starting 2012 with manufacturing on the rise and the American auto industry on the mend.We’re heading in the rightdirection.And we’re not going to let up.On Wednesday the White House will host a forum called “Insourcing American Jobs.” We’ll hear from busine leaders who are bringing jobs back home and see how we can help other businees follow their lead.Because this is a make or break moment for the middle cla and all those working to get there.We’ve got to keep at it.We’ve got to keep creating jobs.And we’ve got to keep rebuilding our economy so that everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share – and everyone plays by the same rules.We can’t go back to the days when the financial system was stacking the deck against ordinary Americans.To me, that’s not an option.Not after all we’ve been through.That’s why I appointed Richard Cordray as our nation’s new consumer watchdog this week.Richard’s job is simple: to look out for you.Every day, his sole miion is to protect consumers from potential abuses by the financial industry and to make sure that you’ve got all the transparent information you need to make the important financial decisions in your lives.I nominated Richard for this job last summer.And yet, Republicans in the Senate kept blocking his confirmation – not because they objected to him, but because they wanted to weaken his agency.That made no sense.Every day we waited was a day you and consumers all acro the country were at greater financial risk.So this year, I’m going to keep doing whatever it takes to move this economy forward and to make sure that middle cla families regain the security they’ve lost over the past decade.That’s my New Year’s resolution to all of you.Thank you, and have a great weekend
17.Working Together in the New Year Saturday, December 31, 2011
Hello, everybody.As 2011 comes to an end and we look ahead to 2012, I want to wish everyone a happy and healthy New Year.The last year has been a time of great challenge and great progre for our country.We ended one war and began to wind down another.We dealt a crippling blow to al-Qaeda and made America more secure.We stood by our friends and allies around the world through natural disasters and revolutions.And we began to see signs of economic recovery here at home, even as too many Americans are still struggling to get ahead.There’s no doubt that 2012 will bring even more change.And as we head into the New Year, I’m hopeful that we have what it takes to face that change and come out even stronger – to grow our economy, create more jobs, and strengthen the middle cla.I’m hopeful because of what we saw right before Christmas, when Members of Congre came together to prevent a tax hike for 160 million Americans – saving a typical family about $40 in every paycheck.They also made sure Americans looking for work won’t see their unemployment insurance cut off.And I expect Congre to finish the job by extending these provisions through the end of 2012.It was good to see Members of Congre do the right thing for millions of working Americans.But it was only poible because you added your voices to the debate.Through email and Twitter and over the phone, you let your representatives know what was at stake.Your lives.Your families.Your well-being.You had the courage to believe that your voices could make a difference.And at the end of the day, they made all the difference.More than anything else, you are the ones who make me hopeful about 2012.Because we’ve got some difficult debates and some tough fights to come.As I’ve said before, we are at a make-or-break moment for the middle cla.And in many ways, the actions we take in the months ahead will help determine what kind of country we want to be, and what kind of world we want our children and grandchildren to grow up in.As President, I promise to do everything I can to make America a place where hard work and responsibility are rewarded – one where everyone has a fair shot and everyone does their fair share.That’s the America I believe in.That’s the America we’ve always known.And I’m confident that if we work together, and if you keep reminding folks in Washington what’s at stake, then we will move this country forward and guarantee every American the opportunities they deserve.Thanks for watching, and from Michelle, Malia, Sasha, Bo and myself, Happy New Year.18.The President and First Lady Thank our Troops for their Service December 24, 2011 THE PRESIDENT: Hi everyone.As you gather with family and friends this weekend, Michelle, Malia, Sasha and I – and of course Bo – want to wish you all Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.THE FIRST LADY: This is such a wonderful time of year.It’s a time to honor the story of love and redemption that began 2,000 years ago „ a time to see the world through a child’s eyes and rediscover the magic all around us „ and a time to give thanks for the gifts that ble us every single day.This holiday season at the White House, we wanted to show our thanks with a special holiday tribute to some of the strongest, bravest, and most resilient members of our American family – the men and women who wear our country’s uniform and the families who support them.THE PRESIDENT: For many military families, the best gift this year is a simple one – welcoming a loved one back for the holidays.You see, after nearly nine years, our war in Iraq is over.Our troops are coming home.And acro America, military families are being reunited.So let’s take a moment to give thanks for their service;for their families’ service;for our veterans’ service.And let’s say a prayer for all our troops standing post all over the world, especially our brave men and women in Afghanistan who are serving, even as we speak, in harm’s way to protect the freedoms and security we hold dear.THE FIRST LADY: Our veterans, troops, and military families sacrifice so much for us.So this holiday season, let’s make sure that all of them know just how much we appreciate everything they do.Let’s ask ourselves, “How can I give back? How can my family serve them as well as they’ve served us”
One way you can get started is to visit JoiningForces.gov to find out how you can get involved in your community.THE PRESIDENT: Giving of ourselves;service to others – that’s what this season is all about.For my family and millions of Americans, that’s what Christmas is all about.It reminds us that part of what it means to love God is to love one another, to be our brother’s keeper and our sister’s keeper.But that belief is not just at the center of our Christian faith, it’s shared by Americans of all faiths and backgrounds.It’s why so many of us, every year, volunteer our time to help those most in need;especially our hungry and our homele.So whatever you believe, wherever you’re from, let’s remember the spirit of service that connects us all this season – as Americans.Each of us can do our part to serve our communities and our country, not just today, but every day.19.Honoring Those Who Served in Iraq
December 17, 2011 This week marked an historic moment in the life of our country and our military.For nearly nine years, our nation has been at war in Iraq.More than 1.5 million Americans have served there with honor, skill, and bravery.Tens of thousands have been wounded.Military families have sacrificed greatly – none more so than the families of those nearly 4,500 Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice.All of them – our troops, veterans, and their families – will always have the thanks of a grateful nation.On Thursday, the colors our Armed Forces fought under in Iraq were formally cased in a ceremony in Baghdad before beginning their journey back home.Our troops are now preparing to make their final march acro the border and out of the country.Iraq’s future will be in the hands of its own people.Our war there will be over.All of our troops will be out of Iraq.And this holiday season, all of us can finally say: welcome home.This is an extraordinary achievement – one made poible by the hard work and sacrifice of the men and women who had the courage to serve.And there’s a leon to learn from that – a leon about our character as a nation.See, there’s a reason our military is the most respected institution in America.They don’t see themselves or each other as Democrats first or Republicans first.They see themselves as Americans first.For all our differences and disagreements, they remind us that we are all a part of something bigger;that we are one nation and one people.And for all our challenges, they remind us that there is nothing we can’t do when we stick together.They’re the finest our nation has to offer.Many will remain in the military and go on to the next miion.Others will take off the uniform and become veterans.But their commitment to service doesn’t end when they take off the uniform – in fact, I’m confident the story of their service to America is just beginning.After years of rebuilding Iraq, it is time to enlist our veterans and all our people in the work of rebuilding America.Folks like my grandfather came back from World War II to form the backbone of the largest middle cla in history.And today’s generation of veterans – the 9/11 Generation of veterans – is armed with the skills, discipline, and leadership to attack the defining challenge of our time: rebuilding an economy where hard work pays off, where responsibility is rewarded, where anyone can make it if they try.Now it is up to us to serve these brave men and women as well as they serve us.Every day, they meet their responsibilities to their families and their country.Now it’s time to meet ours – especially those of us who you sent to serve in Washington.This cannot be a country where division and discord stand in the way of our progre.This is a moment where we must come together to ensure that every American has the chance to work for a decent living, own their own home, send their kids to college, and secure a decent retirement.This is a moment for us to build a country that lives up to the ideals that so many of our bravest Americans have fought and even died for.That is our highest obligation as citizens.That is the welcome home that our troops deserve.Thank you.20.Ensuring a Fair Shot for the Middle Cla Saturday, December 10, 2011
Today, America faces a make-or-break moment for the middle cla.After the worst economic crisis of our lifetimes, some still want to return to the same policies that got us into this me.They’re the same policies that have stacked the deck against working Americans for too long.They’re part of a philosophy that says we’re better off when everyone is left to fend for themselves and play by their own rules.But I have a different vision.I believe that we are greater together than we are on our own.I believe that this country succeeds when everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone engages in fair play.To ensure fair play, last year, we paed the toughest financial reform in generations.See, for too long, the rules weren’t the same on Wall Street as they were on Main Street.Risky bets were made with other people’s money.Some folks made a lot of money taking advantage of consumers.It was wrong.And this irresponsible behavior on the part of some contributed to the worst financial crisis since the Great Depreion.So this financial reform refocuses the financial sector on what’s really important: getting capital to entrepreneurs who want to grow their businees, and financing to millions of families who want to buy a house or send their kids to college.A key part of that was putting in place the first-ever consumer watchdog – someone whose job it is to protect American families from being taken advantage of by mortgage lenders, payday lenders, and debt collectors.Tens of millions of Americans use these services.Protecting them from unscrupulous practices is an important job.And that’s why I nominated Richard Cordray to serve as the head of this consumer watchdog agency.As the former Attorney General of Ohio, Richard helped recover billions of dollars on behalf of retirees and stood up to dishonest lending practices.He has the support of most Attorneys General acro the country, both Democrats and Republicans.Members of Congre from both parties say he’s more than qualified for the job.And yet on Thursday, Republicans blocked his nomination.They refused to even allow it to come up for a vote.That doesn’t make any sense.Do Republicans in Congre think our financial crisis was caused by too much oversight of mortgage lenders or debt collectors? Of course not.And every day America has to wait for a new consumer protection watchdog is another day that dishonest businees can target and take advantage of students, seniors, and service members.So I refuse to take “no” for an answer.Financial institutions have plenty of high-powered lawyers and lobbyists looking out for them.It’s time consumers had someone on their side.And while they’re at it, Republicans in Congre should stop the games and extend the payroll tax cut for working Americans.Because if they don’t, nearly 160 million Americans will see their taxes go up at the end of this month.Congre can’t end the year by taking money out of the pockets of working Americans.Now is not the time for playing politics.Now is the time to do what’s right for the American people.No one should go home for the holidays until we get this done.So tell your Members of Congre, don’t be a Grinch.Tell them to do the right thing for you and for our economy.Thank you.20.
