President Bush Discusses Administration’s Plan to Assist Automakers THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. For years, America’s automakers have faced serious challenges — burdensome costs, a shrinking share of the market, and declining profits. In recent months, the global financial crisis has made these challenges even more severe. Now some U.S. auto executives say ...

Called from a retirement which I had supposed was to continue for the residue of my life to full the chief executive office of this great and free nation, 从我原以为将持续我的余生的隐退生活中被召唤来行使这一伟大而自由民族的行政长官之职， I appear before you,fellow citizens, 同胞们，我在你们面前， to take the oaths which the Constitution prescribes as a neccessary qualificati...

Miguel Manrara (Miramar, FL): My first job was picking up garbage and cardboard, so I could have some money to feed, to help feed my family, my mother, my father. Berthy De La Rosa-Aponte (Cooper City, FL): Lucy has aut...
Hi, everybody. This Monday, I'm heading to Alaska for a three-day tour of the state. I've been looking forward to this for a long time. Not only because Alaska is one of the most beautiful places in a country that's full of beautiful places – but because I'll have several opportunities to meet with everyday Alaskans about what's going on in their lives. I...
Hi, everybody. This week, after five years of effort with eleven other nations, we reached agreement on a new trade deal that promotes American values and protects American workers. There's a reason this Trans-Pacific Partnership took five years to negotiate. I wanted to get the best possible deal for American workers. And that is what we've done. Here's why it m...
Hi, everybody. I hope most of you are gearing up for a long weekend with family and friends – maybe some barbeques, road trips, or fantasy drafts. But I want to take a moment to talk to you about the real meaning of Labor Day – a day we set aside every year to honor the hardworking men and women who fought for so many of the rights that we take for granted today. The eight-h...
Hi, everybody. Today, there are 2.2 million people behind bars in America and millions more on parole or probation. Every year, we spend $80 billion in taxpayer dollars to keep people incarcerated. Many are non-violent offenders serving unnecessarily long sentences. I believe we can disrupt the pipeline from underfunded schools to overcrowded jails. I believe we can address ...
Hi, everybody. For decades, too many working Americans went without the security of health insurance – and their financial well-being suffered because of it. We've begun to change that. As the Affordable Care Act has taken effect, we've covered 17.6 million Americans. Since 2010, the uninsured rate has decreased by 45%. And for the first time, more than 90% of Americ...
Hi, everybody. Our country is home to some of the most beautiful God-given landscapes in the world. We're blessed with natural treasures – from the Grand Tetons to the Grand Canyon; from lush forests and vast deserts to lakes and rivers teeming with wildlife. And it's our responsibility to protect these treasures for future generations, just as previous generations p...
Hi, everybody. Thirty years ago, there were 500,000 people behind bars in America. Today, there are 2.2 million. The United States is home to 5 percent of the world's population, but 25 percent of the world's prisoners. Every year, we spend $80 billion to keep people locked up. Now, many of the folks in prison absolutely belong there – our streets are safer thanks to...
Hi, everybody. It's hard to believe, but it was seven years ago this week that one of Wall Street's biggest investment banks went bankrupt, triggering a meltdown on Wall Street and the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. And in the months that followed, millions of Americans lost their jobs, their homes, and the savings they'd worked so hard to buil...
Hi, everybody. Next week marks seven years since a financial crisis on Wall Street that would usher in some hard years for working families on Main Street. Soon after that, I took office. And we set out to rebuild our economy on a new foundation for growth and prosperity by investing in things that grow our middle class – things like jobs, health care, and education. Today, ...
Hi, everybody. Today, September 26th, is "National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day." It's a day where you can safely, conveniently, and responsibly dispose of expired and unwanted prescription drugs at collection sites in your community. Here's why this matters. More Americans now die every year from drug overdoses than they do in car crashes. And most of t...
Hi, everybody. Yesterday, we learned that our businesses created another 118,000 new jobs in September. That makes 67 straight months of job creation, and 13.2 million new jobs in all. But we would be doing even better if we didn't have to keep dealing with crises in Congress every few months. And especially at a time when the global economy is softening, our own growth ...
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 responsibilities to serve them as well as they have served us. It should compel us to keep our veterans central to t...
Hi, everybody. In 1620, a small band of pilgrims came to this continent, refugees who had fled persecution and violence in their native land. Nearly 400 years later, we remember their part in the American story – and we honor the men and women who helped them in their time of need. Thanksgiving is a day for food and football, and for hoping the turkey didn't turn out too...
Hi, everybody. This weekend, our hearts are with the people of San Bernardino – another American community shattered by unspeakable violence. We salute the first responders – the police, the SWAT teams, the EMTs – who responded so quickly, with such courage, and saved lives. We pray for the injured as they fight to recover from their wounds. Most of all, we stand with 14 fam...
