Thank you all for being here for this important moment. These men from all over the world have decided to make gender equality a priority in their lives and in their universities. Thank you for making this commitment. I graduated from university four years ago. I had always dreamed of going, and I know how fortunate I am to have had the opportunity to do so. Brown became my ...
Looking Forward to Visiting Greece In this beautiful season when the pansy（三色堇） flowers are in full bloom, I will soon lead a Chinese government delegation to Greece. My wish is to consolidate（巩固，加强） the traditional friendship between the Chinese and Greek people and open up new prospects for a deeper China-Greece relationship. China and Greece, two ancient civil...
It is a great pleasure to welcome President Karzai to my hometown of Chicago after he extended hospitality to me during my visit to to Kabul recently. During that trip to Afghanistan, we were able to finalize the Strategic Partnership Agreement that reflects a future in which two sovereign（有主权的） nations — the United States and Afghanistan — are operating as...
Earlier this week, we did something that’s never been done here at the White House – we had a Twitter Town Hall. I even sent my first live tweet as President. The questions at the town hall were sent in from across the country and covered all kinds of topics – from jobs and the economy to education and energy. Lots of people also submitted different version...
This week in Libya, we lost four of our fellow Americans. Glen Doherty, Tyrone Woods, Sean Smith, and Chris Stevens were all killed in an outrageous attack on our diplomatic post in Benghazi. These four Americans represented the very best of our country. Glen and Tyrone had each served America as Navy SEALs for many years, before continuing their service providing security f...
Hi, everybody. This week, I spent some time traveling across Iowa talking with folks about rebuilding an economy where if you work hard, you and your family can get ahead（获得成功）. And along the way, I stopped in at Cascade High School to thank the teachers there for doing such a great job—and wish them luck as they head back to the classroom for this school year. T...
It’s going to help small business owners upgrade their plants and equipment, it will encourage large corporations to get off the sidelines and start putting their profits back into the economy, and it will accelerate $55 billion in tax cuts for businesses that make job-creating investments over the next year. Third, it creates a new initiative to strengthen state progr...
Hi everybody. Earlier this summer, Michelle, Malia, Sasha and I headed west — to the national parks at Carlsbad Caverns and Yosemite. And I've got to say, it was a breath of fresh air. We explored hundreds of feet underground, standing beneath dripping stalactites in New Mexico. We hiked up a misty trail next to a waterfall in California. And I even took a few pict...
Q Mr. President, it’s a privilege for me to be here. You talk about the small business loans. My company is a high-tech company. And we are growing, and we are providing high-tech jobs for Americans. How can we ensure that banking and lending institutions are going to actually lend money to small businesses? There have been numbers of steps done in that way, but so far...
In this effort, the United States is prepared to act as part of an international coalition. American leadership is essential, but that does not mean acting alone -– it means shaping the conditions for the international community to act together.That’s why I have directed Secretary Gates and our military to coordinate their planning, and tomorrow Secretary Clinton...
Q (Speaks in Portuguese and is translated.) Good afternoon, everyone. And thank you, Mr. President, for this opportunity. THE PRESIDENT: That sounds like Portuguese. (Laughter.) Q It is, indeed, from Mozambique, sir. THE PRESIDENT: Great. Q Knowing, Mr. President, that, of course, America is a reference point（参考点，控制点） for democracy in the world, and that you, sir, a...
Hi, everybody. As 2014 comes to an end, we can enter the New Year with new confidence that America is making significant strides where it counts. The steps we took nearly six years ago to rescue our economy and rebuild it on a new foundation helped make 2014 the strongest year for job growth since the 1990s. Over the past 57 months, our businesses have created nearly 11 mill...
Last year I was in Michigan at Kalamazoo and had just a wonderful time. Although I got to admit, their graduating class was about 700 kids and my hands were really sore at the end of it because I was shaking all of them. (Laughter.) But the truth is, an education is about more than getting into a good college. It’s about more than getting a good job when you graduate. ...
So let me thank you again, Barack, for hosting me today. While at the World Cup, our teams could only manage a score draw. I believe our relationship can be a win-win. And, yes, I did enjoy drinking the 312 beer — cold — during the World Cup. (Laughter.) I enjoyed it so much that when I watched Germany beat Argentina, I actually cheered for Germany. That’s ...
Hi, everybody. Over the last few weeks, there’s been a lot of talk about Medicare, with a lot of accusations and misinformation flying around. So today I want to step back for a minute and share with you some actual facts and news about the program. This week, we found out that, thanks to the health care law we passed, nearly 5.4 million seniors with Medicare have save...
Hi, everybody. It’s been seven years since the worst financial crisis in generations spread from Wall Street to Main Street-a crisis that cost millions of Americans their jobs, their homes, their life savings. It was a crisis that cost all of us. It was a reminder that we’re in this together-all of us. That’s how we’ve battled back these past six and ...
Now, Sal is a pretty humble guy. And so when he came to the White House he said, “You know, I didn’t do anything special.” He said he was just doing his job, that he didn’t do anything that his brothers wouldn’t have done for him. “If I’m a hero,” he said, “then every man who stands around me, every woman in the military,...

Hi, everybody. This week, America came together to salute our veterans — to express our appreciation to all who served so that we might live free. But our gratitude should extend beyond what our veterans have done for us in the past. It should remind us of our responsibility to serve them as well as they have served us. It should compel us to keep our veterans central ...
THE PRESIDENT: Good morning, everybody. One of the biggest challenges of this recession has been its impact on state and local communities. With so many Americans unemployed or struggling to get by, states have been forced to balance their budgets（预算） with fewer tax dollars, which means that they’ve got to cut critical services and lay off（解雇，休息） teachers an...
