Hi, everybody. This week, I'm speaking to you from our Nuclear Security Summit. I welcomed more than 50 leaders from around the world to make sure we're working together to meet one of the greatest threats to global security — terrorists getting their hands on a weapon of mass destruction, like a nuclear weapon. Fortunately, because of our efforts so far, no te...
Juan Carlos López.Q Gracias, Presidente. Feliz Navidad.THE PRESIDENT: Feliz Navidad.Q Mr. President, you’ve been able to fulfill many of your promises. Immigration reform isn’t one of them.

Hi everybody.In America, we believe that a lifetime of hard work and responsibility should be rewarded with a shot at a secure, dignified retirement.It’s one of the critical components of middle-class life-and this week, I took new steps to protect it.

Q Where is your line in the sand? THE PRESIDENT: Well, look, I’ve got a whole bunch of lines in the sand. Not making the tax cuts for the wealthy permanent — that was a line in the sand. Making sure that the things that most impact middle-class families and low-income families, that those were preserved — that was a line in the sand. I would not have agreed...
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 ...
Hi, everybody. I’m here in Ohio, where I’ve spent the past couple days talking with folks about our central challenge as a country. Not just reclaiming all the jobs lost to the recession, but reclaiming the economic security that so many Americans have lost over the last decade. Our mission isn’t just to put people back to work, it’s to rebuild an eco...

Facebook is taking another stab at reducing the amount of "clickbait" in your news feed. Facebook正在为减少“信息流”中的“标题党”做新的尝试。 "These are headlines that intentionally leave out crucial information, forcing people to click to find out the answer," the company said in an announcement on Thursday. In other words: The head...
I was thinking about this last week. I was thinking about this last week on the day I announced the end of our combat mission in Iraq. (Applause.) And I spent some time, as I often do, with our soldiers and our veterans. And this new generation of troops coming home from Iraq, they’ve earned their place alongside the greatest generation. (Applause.) Just like that grea...
Q If I could add to that, just one thing, which is, it’s really not necessary to replace the windows to get that energy efficiency. Didn’t somebody write about the caulking gun（油灰枪） ? THE PRESIDENT: Caulking is — Q It’s a lot less expensive. (Laughter.) THE PRESIDENT: Absolutely. Cash for caulkers. (Laughter.) Good point. All right, gentleman rig...
These guys are also young fathers, and they’re doing a great—he’s got four kids. He’s got two. And Michelle and I have been working a lot with military families, trying to support them. When these guys are deployed sometimes, they’re leaving the family behind. I just want to make sure they get support. And then the reason the two older gentlemen...
THE PRESIDENT: I want to begin by thanking the incredible leaders who are around this table, not only the Vice President and the Secretary of State, but also some of the most able statesmen from both parties that we’ve had in modern American history who are sitting around this table.

Hi, everybody. Our top priority as a country right now should be doing everything we can to grow our economy and create good, middle class jobs. And yet, less than one week from now, Congress is poised to allow a series of arbitrary（任意的）, automatic budget cuts that will do the exact opposite. They will slow our economy. They will eliminate good jobs. They will leave man...

Before enrolling at Lorain, Andrea told me she was looking everywhe...
This approach is basically the one I’ve been advocating for months. In addition to the trillion dollars of spending cuts I’ve already signed into law, it’s a balanced plan that would reduce the deficit by making additional spending cuts, by making modest adjustments to health care programs like Medicare and Medicaid, and by reforming our tax code in a way t...
I’m thankful to PSG for giving me the opportunity to continue but I feel now is the right time to finish my career, playing at the highest level. If you had told me as a young boy I would have played for and won trophies with my boyhood club Manchester United, proudly captained and played for my country over one hundred times and lined up for some of the biggest clubs ...
Hi, everybody. Two weeks ago, a large bipartisan majority of Senators voted to pass commonsense, comprehensive immigration reform, taking an important step towards fixing our broken immigration system once and for all. This bill was a compromise, and neither side got everything they wanted. But it was largely consistent with the key principles of commonsense reform that most...
"Honor the dead by helping the living." That’s what you’re all about. That’s what the VFW has always been about. Like you, I know that our nation has just one truly sacred obligation: to prepare and equip those we send into harm’s way, and to care for them when they come home. Commander Tradewell—Tommy—you’ve walked that wa...
