第一篇：2011-9-17美國總統(tǒng)電臺演講稿

黨的十七大提出的實現(xiàn)全面建設小康社會奮斗目標的新要求？

（1）正確理解“總體上的小康”和“全面建設小康社會”的聯(lián)系和區(qū)別。

經過全黨和全國各族人民的共同努力，20世紀末，我國人民生活總體上開始達到小康水平。在此基礎上，黨的十六大提出，我們要在21世紀頭20年，全面建設一個惠及十幾億偷聽 更高水平的小康社會的奮斗目標。

兩者的聯(lián)系表現(xiàn)為：同處于第二步到第三步的戰(zhàn)略階段，同處于小康階段。

兩者的區(qū)別體現(xiàn)在：其一，“總體小康”是指我們現(xiàn)在已達到的小康現(xiàn)狀，而“全面建設小康社會”是21世紀頭20年將要達到的目標。其二，總體小康還是低水平、不全面、發(fā)展很不平衡的小康；而全面建設小康是將目前低水平、不全面、發(fā)展很不平衡的小康社會，發(fā)展成為更高水平、內容比較全面、發(fā)展較為均衡的小康社會。這個目標的實現(xiàn)，將使我國經濟更加發(fā)展、民主更加健全、科教更加進步、文化更加繁榮、社會更加和諧、人民生活更加殷實。

（2）黨的十七大順應國內外形勢的新變化和各族人民過上更好生活的新期待，把握經濟社會發(fā)展趨勢和規(guī)律，堅持中國特色社會主義經濟建設、政治建設、文化建設、社會建設的基本目標和基本政策構成的基本綱領，對我國的發(fā)展提出了五個方面新的更高的要求。

一是增強發(fā)展協(xié)調性，努力實現(xiàn)經濟又好又快發(fā)展。

二是擴大社會主義民主，更好地保障人民權益和社會公平正義。

三是加強文化建設，明顯提高全民族文明素質。

四是加快發(fā)展社會事業(yè)，全面改善人民生活。

五是建設生態(tài)文明，基本形成節(jié)約能源資源和保護生態(tài)環(huán)境的產業(yè)結構、增長方式、消費模式。

2、如何從理論上認識社會主義市場經濟與資本主義市場經濟之間的關系？

社會主義市場經濟與資本主義市場經濟既有區(qū)別又有聯(lián)系。

第一，就其聯(lián)系而言，社會主義市場經濟與資本主義市場經濟都具有市場經濟的一般特征和要求。從資源配置方式看，都是以市場為基礎性配置手段；從微觀層面上看，企業(yè)都是獨立的市場主體和法人實體；從經濟活動看，市場經濟規(guī)律起著支配作用；從宏觀層面上看，政府的宏觀調控主要是通過經濟手段來實現(xiàn)的；從經濟運行看，法治起著基本的保障作用。正是由于市場經濟具有共性，所以社會主義市場經濟也應該按照這些特征和要求來進行建設。同時，發(fā)達資本主義國家在發(fā)展市場經濟過程中的一切有益的做法和經驗也都是值得我們借鑒和吸收的，在這一層次上，社會主義市場經濟和資本主義市場經濟是可以接軌的。

第二，就區(qū)別而言，社會主義市場經濟和資本主義市場經濟又是兩種不同的社會制度與市場經濟的結合，它們體現(xiàn)的是不同社會經濟制度下的市場經濟。市場經濟與不同的經濟制度結合就會體現(xiàn)出不同的制度特征。市場經濟與社會主義制度相結合，就要堅持以公有制為主體、堅持按勞分配為主體，堅持以實現(xiàn)共同富裕為目標。離開了這些特征就不是社會主義市場經濟，而資本主義市場經濟則不具有這樣的特征。堅持走社會主義市場經濟的發(fā)展道路，建設中國特色社會主義經濟，最重要的就是堅持社會主義基本制度與市場經濟的結合。這是我們的創(chuàng)造性和特色所在。如果離開了社會作用基本制度，就會走向資本主義。

3、社會主義初級階段基本經濟制度的確立，在社會主義所有制理論上實現(xiàn)了那些重大的突破和創(chuàng)新？

社會主義初級階段基本經濟制度的確立，標志著在所有制結構理論和實踐方面又有了重大突破和創(chuàng)新。

第一，社會主義初級階段基本經濟制度是一個有機結合的統(tǒng)一體。既包括作為社會主義經濟基礎的公有制經濟，也包括非社會主義性質的其他所有制經濟。沒有公有制的主體地位，就不能確保我國社會的社會作用性質，不能堅持社會主義方向和道路。沒有其他所有制經濟，就會拖離當代中國的基本國情，脫離初級階段的時間。因此，既不能因為公有制以外的其他經濟成分不屬于社會主義性質的經濟而將它們排除在基本經濟制度以外，也不能因為它們屬于基本經濟制度而認為也是社會主義經濟。社會主義經濟制度的確立，能夠把社會主義的本質特征和初級階段的現(xiàn)實要求有機統(tǒng)一起來，這在社會主義所有制理論上是一個重大的突破和創(chuàng)新，更加有利于促進社會生產力的發(fā)展，有利于鞏固和發(fā)展社會主義制度。

第二，社會主義初級階段基本經濟制度的確立，體現(xiàn)了黨對所有制理論的與時俱進。改革開放前，由于對基本國情的認識上超越了社會主義初級階段的實際，總認為社會主義經濟制度只能有社會主義性質的公有制經濟構成，即使允許非公有制經濟存在和一定的發(fā)展，也只能是暫時的權宜之計。改革開放后，我們黨對非公有制經濟的認識逐步深化，從稱其為“公有制經濟必要的和有益的補充”，到強調“公有制經濟與多種經濟成分長期共同發(fā)展是一項長期的方針”，再到黨的十五大第一次明確提出“公有制為主體、多種所有制共同發(fā)展，是我國社會主義初級階段的一項基本經濟制度”。這標志著我們黨對社會主義初級階段所有制結構的認識不僅在理論上有了重大突破和創(chuàng)新，在實踐中也使我國進入公有制實現(xiàn)形式多樣化和多種經濟成分共同發(fā)展的新階段。

第三，建立怎樣的所有制結構，實現(xiàn)怎樣的基本經濟制度，只能以是否符合“三個有利于”作為判斷標準。一切符合“三個有利于”標準的所有制形式，都可以而且也應該用來為社會主義服務。

4、如何認識公有制的性質與實現(xiàn)形式之間的關系？

答：公有制經濟的性質和實現(xiàn)形式是兩個不同的問題。

第一，江澤民指出，要全面認識公有制經濟的含義。公有制不僅包括國有經濟和集體經濟，還包括混合所有制經濟中的國有成分和集體成分。公有制的主體地位主要體現(xiàn)在：公有資產在社會總資產中占優(yōu)勢；國有經濟控制國民經濟命脈，對經濟發(fā)展起主導作用。這時就全局而言，有的地方、有的產業(yè)可以有所差別。公有資產占優(yōu)勢，要有量的優(yōu)勢，更要注重質的提高。對關系國民經濟命脈的重要行業(yè)和關鍵領域，國有經濟必須占支配地位。在其他領域，可以通過資產重組和結構調整，以加強重點，提高國有資產的整體質量。在這個前提下，國有經濟比重就是減少一些，也不會影響我國的社會主義性質。

第二，江澤民指出，公有制實現(xiàn)形式可以而且應當多樣化，一切反映社會化生產規(guī)律的經營方式和組織形式都可以大膽利用。要努力尋找能夠極大促進生產力發(fā)展的公有制實現(xiàn)形式。股份制是現(xiàn)代企業(yè)的一種資本組織形式，有利于所有權和經營權的分離，有利于提高企業(yè)和資本的運作效率，資本主義可以用，社會主義也可以用。不能籠統(tǒng)地說股份制是公有還是私有，關鍵是看控股權掌握在誰手中。國家和集體控股，具有明顯的公有性，有利于擴大公有資本的支配范圍，增強公有制的主體作用。目前城鄉(xiāng)大量出現(xiàn)的多種多樣的股份合作制經濟，是改革中的新事物，要支持和引導，不斷總結經驗，使之逐步完善。

第三，公有制經濟的性質體現(xiàn)在所有權的歸屬上，堅持公有制的性質，根本的是堅持國家和集體對生產資料的所有權。公有制在現(xiàn)實中又要通過具體的形式來實現(xiàn)，即采取怎樣的經營方式和組織形式。公有制的性質與實現(xiàn)形式是兩個不同層次的問題。公有制的實現(xiàn)形式可以而且應當多樣化，一切反映社會化生產規(guī)律的經營方式和組織形式都可以大膽利用。股份制、股份合作制等都可以作為公有制經濟的實現(xiàn)形式，只要控制權掌握在國家和集體手中，就能有效地實現(xiàn)公有制經濟的性質。

5、結合現(xiàn)階段個人收入分配制度和按勞分配的理論，對現(xiàn)實經濟生活中個人收入出現(xiàn)差距的現(xiàn)象進行分析。

社會主義初級階段的基本經濟制度決定了與此相聯(lián)系的個人收入分配實行的是按勞分配為主體、多種分配方式并存的制度。社會主義初級階段個人收入分配制度，必須堅持按勞分配的主體地位。按勞分配以外的多種分配方式，其實質就是按生產要素的占有狀況進行分配。

一是要正確看待收入分配差距。

一方面正確認識收入分配差距，我們不能脫離對市場的影響來孤立地看待和評價收入分配格局是否公平。由于社會上個人的生產要素和能力的不同，所起的作用和所做的貢獻大小也不同，把貢獻大小與收入分配聯(lián)系起來。除了按勞分配外，應該鼓勵按生產要素進行分配，在效率優(yōu)先、兼顧公平的分配原則下，按貢獻大小進行分配。如果不將貢獻大小，而是只講平價分配，那就不可能達到共同富裕的目標，而只會仍然共同貧窮。今天我們收入差距的拉大從某種意義上說是一種社會的進步，因為從一部分人先富起來達到共同富裕必須經過一個過程。保證收入公平的原則應該是保證人人有平等競爭的機會，因而解決當前中國收入差距拉大問題決不能采取劫富濟貧的辦法，而是要在加快經濟發(fā)展，積極地從事“財富創(chuàng)造”的同時，給低收入者更多的能力和機會，給他們以平等競爭的機會。

另一方面要警惕社會分配領域中收入差距的過分擴大，甚至兩極分化的現(xiàn)象，可能引發(fā)社會問題?？偟膩碚f，當前中國收入分配差距拉大的原因是多方面的，并非都是合理的制度安排的結果，其中也存在許多不合理和非法的因素。其一，初次分配過程中存在許多不平等的競爭，如最為突出的各種形式的行業(yè)壟斷的存在；其二，收入分配再分配的手段和功能嚴重不足，例如對高收入調節(jié)不力，對低收入階層缺乏有效保護；其三，灰色收入、黑色收入以及腐敗等非法收入問題突出，打擊力度遠遠不夠；其四，由于地域差別的存在，東部地區(qū)比西部地區(qū)收入高，地區(qū)收入差距拉大。應該說，中國收入分配差距的出現(xiàn)是國民經濟整體發(fā)展和提高的結果，是構建現(xiàn)代市場經濟體制的結果，是社會主義初級階段的必然結果，同時也是社會不公正現(xiàn)象的結果。從整體上看，中國的收入分配差距是社會范疇問題，其本質是勞動者先富和后富的關系，不是階級對立的結果，積極因素及生產力發(fā)展水平起決定的作用。

二是合理調劑收入分配差距。

形成現(xiàn)在收入分配不合理的格局，原因是多方面的，因此，利用稅收、財政等手段，調節(jié)地區(qū)、行業(yè)、部門的收入差距，縮小東、中、西部的收入差別，也必須綜合治理。

第一，要社會收入分配制度的改革，從源頭上解決好初次分配問題；第二，堅持效率優(yōu)先，兼顧公平的原則，強化國家對收入分配的宏觀調控功能；第三，要關注社會弱勢群體，千方百計擴大就業(yè)，解決由失業(yè)導致的貧困問題；第四，要嚴厲打擊貪污腐敗、權錢交易等各種非法攫取社會財富的行為；第五，要以共同富裕為目標，擴大中等收入者的比重，提高

低收入者的收入水平。

總之，合理調節(jié)收入分配差距，發(fā)展經濟是根本途徑，“三個有利于”體現(xiàn)得越充分，消除貧富差距過大的社會條件就越具備，就越能增強利用稅收、財政等手段調節(jié)收入分配的功能。我們既不能搞平均主義，也要防止出現(xiàn)兩極分化，既要讓一部分人先富起來，又要最終實現(xiàn)共同富裕。

7.如何理解轉變經濟發(fā)展方式，建設社會主義新農村，統(tǒng)籌區(qū)域發(fā)展和建設資源節(jié)約型、環(huán)境友好型社會的重大意義？

實現(xiàn)工業(yè)化，是我國經濟發(fā)展過程中不可逾越的歷史階段。新興工業(yè)化道路是相對于傳統(tǒng)工業(yè)化道路而言的。新興工業(yè)化是以信息產業(yè)為代表的現(xiàn)代產業(yè)的科技成果改造、提升、發(fā)展國民經濟的過程，是實現(xiàn)人口、資源、環(huán)境、經濟協(xié)調發(fā)展的新道路，重要意義在于：第一，中國能夠較快地基本實現(xiàn)工業(yè)化，這將使世界工業(yè)化人口增加一倍，共享工業(yè)化成果，極大程度遏制南北差距拉大；第二，將有利于資源利用和環(huán)境保護，從而對世界經濟的可持續(xù)發(fā)展做出重大貢獻；第三，將為廣大發(fā)展中國家擺脫貧困、對建立更加公正合理的國際經濟新秩序從而為維護發(fā)展中國家在世界經濟中的權益作出貢獻，有益于世界的和平與發(fā)展。

首先，建設社會主義新農村，是貫徹落實科學發(fā)展觀的重大舉措。

其次，建設社會主義新農村，是確保我國現(xiàn)代化建設順利推進的必然要求。

在此，建設社會主義新農村，是全面建設小康社會的重點任務。

又次，建設社會主義新農村，是保持國民經濟平穩(wěn)較快發(fā)展的持久動力。

最后，建設社會主義新農村，是構建社會主義和諧社會的重要基礎。

統(tǒng)籌區(qū)域發(fā)展，促進地區(qū)協(xié)調發(fā)展，縮小區(qū)域間的發(fā)展差距，是我們經濟社會發(fā)展的一重要原則。統(tǒng)籌區(qū)域發(fā)展，縮小區(qū)域間的發(fā)展差距，不僅是經濟問題，也是政治問題，不僅關系現(xiàn)代化建設的全局，也關系社會穩(wěn)定和國家的長治久安。堅持統(tǒng)籌城鄉(xiāng)經濟社會發(fā)展，逐步改變城鄉(xiāng)二元經濟結構，建設社會主義新農村，是我們黨從全面建設小康社會全局出發(fā)作出的重大決策。它集中體現(xiàn)了我們黨在新階段“三農”工作的新理念、新思路，是對我們黨長期以來特別是改革開放以來關于農業(yè)、農村、農民問題戰(zhàn)略思想的繼承和發(fā)展，是統(tǒng)籌城鄉(xiāng)發(fā)展的根本措施，是新世紀新階段解決“三農”問題的重大戰(zhàn)略部署，為我國農村的發(fā)展展現(xiàn)了美好藍圖，開辟了廣闊道路。

建設創(chuàng)新型國家，建設資源節(jié)約型、環(huán)境友好型社會的重大決策是繼科教興國和人才強國戰(zhàn)略以來我們黨提出的事關社會主義現(xiàn)代化建設全局的重大戰(zhàn)略決策。既反映了我們黨對世界經濟、科技發(fā)展趨勢和內在規(guī)律的準確把握，也反映了對我國基本國情和戰(zhàn)略需求的科學分析。

第一，進入21世紀，在科學技術的引領和推動下，人類正經歷著從工業(yè)社會向知識社會的演進。

第二，是貫徹落實科學發(fā)展觀、全面建設小康社會的重大舉措，是解決我國當前發(fā)展面臨的突出矛盾和問題的緊迫要求。

第三，加強自主創(chuàng)新，建設創(chuàng)新型國家，是我們黨綜合分析世界發(fā)展大勢和我國所處歷史階段提出的面向未來的重大戰(zhàn)略。

建設資源節(jié)約型、環(huán)境友好型社會，是由我國基本國情決定的。一是我國人口多給資

源環(huán)境帶來重大壓力。二是我國資源相對不足、資源消耗高、利用效率低已嚴重制約經濟社會的發(fā)展。三是我國的環(huán)境污染和生態(tài)破壞嚴重制約經濟社會發(fā)展，威脅著人的自下而上的發(fā)展。

建設資源節(jié)約型、環(huán)境友好型社會，說到底也是協(xié)調人和自然、人和地球關系的問題。

3．為什么要堅持和完善中國共產黨領導的多黨合作與政治協(xié)商制度？

中國共產黨領導的多黨合作和政治協(xié)商制度，是我國的一項基本政治制度，是馬克思主義政黨理論和統(tǒng)一戰(zhàn)線學說與我國具體實際相結合的產物，是中國社會主義民主政治制度的重要組成部分。

我國的政黨制度是一種社會主義的新型政黨制度，是建立在公有制占主體地位的社會主義經濟基礎之上的。

堅持和完善中國共產黨領導的多黨合作和政治協(xié)商制度，既有利于堅持和完善中國共產黨的領導，又能充分吸納各方面的意見，集中全國人民的意志和力量，實現(xiàn)廣泛民主和集中領導的統(tǒng)一，充滿活力和富有效率的統(tǒng)一。堅持和完善這一制度，有利于調動一切積極因素，實現(xiàn)國家跨世紀發(fā)展宏偉目標；有利于發(fā)展社會主義民主政治；有利于妥善處理新時期人民內部矛盾，保持我國的政治穩(wěn)定，經濟發(fā)展，民族團結，社會進步。堅持和完善這項制度，對于鞏固和發(fā)展社會主義制度，挫敗西方敵對勢力利用人權，民主等對我們進行的挑戰(zhàn)，面向新世紀推進建設中國特色社會主義事業(yè)，具有重要的戰(zhàn)略意義。

4.怎樣理解中國特色社會主義文化建設的根本任務和主要內容？

中國特色社會主義文化建設的根本任務，就是以馬克思列寧主義、毛澤東思想、鄧小平理論和“三個代表”重要思想為指導，全面貫徹科學發(fā)展觀，著力培育有理想、有文化、有道德、有紀律的公民，切實提高全民族的思想道德素質和科學文化素質。

中國特色社會主義文化建設的主要內容包括思想道德建設和教育科學文化建設兩方面。思想道德建設，解決的是整個中華民族的精神支柱和精神動力問題。加強思想道德建設，是建設社會主義核心價值體系的必然要求，是中國特色社會主義文化建設的重要內容和中心環(huán)節(jié)。加強思想道德建設，就要加快建立和完善社會主義思想道德體系，要著力培育文明道德風尚，把先進性要求同廣泛性要求結合起來，進一步加強和改進思想政治工作。

教育和科學是中國特色社會主義文化建設的重要內容，對于提高民族素質，提高社會文明程度，促進經濟發(fā)展和社會全面進步具有重要作用。要堅持科學技術是第一生產力，加強科學普及，提高全社會的科學素質，尤其要繁榮哲學社會科學。要把教育擺在優(yōu)先發(fā)展的位置，辦好讓人民群眾滿意的教育。同時，要深化文化體制改革，解放和發(fā)展文化生產力，大力發(fā)展文化事業(yè)和文化產業(yè)，堅持經濟效益和社會效益的統(tǒng)一。

2.“和平統(tǒng)一、一國兩制”構想是如何形成和發(fā)展的？

中國共產黨和中國政府一直把解決臺灣問題，實現(xiàn)祖國完全統(tǒng)一，作為自己神圣的歷史使命，并根據(jù)國內外形勢的發(fā)展變化，適時制定和實施了對臺方針政策。以毛澤東為代表的中國共產黨人在解決臺灣問題的方針上，經歷了從武力解放臺灣到和平解放臺灣的過程。

1949年3月，新華社發(fā)表題為《中國人民一定要解放臺灣》的時評。1949年12月，明確提出1950年的任務就是解放海南島、臺灣和西藏，全殲蔣介石集團的最后殘余勢力。朝

鮮戰(zhàn)爭爆發(fā)，解放臺灣的計劃被迫擱置。

20世紀50年代中期，圍繞臺灣問題的國內外形勢都發(fā)生了很大變化。根據(jù)形勢的發(fā)展變化，我們黨及時調整了對臺政策，提出了和平解放臺灣的主張。60年代初，周恩來將我們黨提出的一系列解決臺灣問題的思想、政策和主張歸納為“一綱四目”。

20世紀70年代，隨著中國恢復聯(lián)合國合法席位和中美建交，以鄧小平為核心的第二代中央領導集體從國家和民族的根本利益出發(fā)，創(chuàng)造性的提出了“一國兩制”的科學構想。隨后逐步形成了“和平統(tǒng)一、一國兩制”的基本方針。

1978年12月，黨的十一屆三中全會公報首次以“臺灣回到祖國懷抱，實行統(tǒng)一大業(yè)”來代替“解放臺灣”的提法。1979年元旦，全國人大常委會發(fā)表《告臺灣同胞書》，鄭重宣示了爭取祖國和平統(tǒng)一的大政方針，兩岸關系由此揭開新的歷史篇章。

1981年9月，葉劍英對新華社記者發(fā)表了被成為“葉九條”的談話，進一步闡明了解決臺灣問題的方針政策。1982年1月，鄧小平指出“九條方針是以葉副主席的名義提出來的，實際上就是一個國家兩種制度?！边@是鄧小平首次提出“和平統(tǒng)一、一國兩制”的概念。

1982年12月，全國人大五屆五次會議通過了《中華人民共和國憲法》，其中第31條所載明的“設立特別行政區(qū)”，指得就是實行“一國兩制”。這表明，實行“一國兩制”有了憲法的保證。

1983年6月，鄧小平在會見美籍華人學者時，進一步闡述了實現(xiàn)臺灣和祖國大陸和平統(tǒng)一的構想，后來被稱為“鄧六條”，“鄧六條”使“一國兩制”構想更加完備、充實，更加具體化、系統(tǒng)化。

1985年3月，六屆全國人大三次會議正式把“一國兩制”確定為中國的一項基本國策。

5.新形勢下如何努力推動兩岸關系的和平發(fā)展？

2008年12月31日，胡錦濤在紀念《告臺灣同胞書》發(fā)表30周年座談會上發(fā)表重要講話，全面系統(tǒng)地闡述了兩岸關系和平發(fā)展的思想，明確提出了新世紀新階段推動兩岸關系和平發(fā)展的六點意見。

第一，恪守一個中國，增進政治互信。

第二，推進經濟合作，促進共同發(fā)展。

第三，弘揚中華文化，加強精神紐帶。

第四，加強人員往來，擴大各界交流。

第五，維護國家主權，協(xié)商涉外事務。

第六，結束敵對狀態(tài)，達成和平協(xié)議。

這篇講話是新形勢下指導對臺工作的綱領性文件，對進一步做好對臺工作具有十分重要的指導意義。

第二篇：美國總統(tǒng)電臺演講

Last weekend, on the Fourth of July, Michelle and I welcomed some of our extraordinary military men and women and their families to the White House.They were just like the thousands of active duty personnel and veterans I’ve met across this country and around the globe.Proud.Strong.Determined.Men and women with the courage to answer their country’s call, and the character to serve the United States of America.Because of that service;because of the honor and heroism of our troops around the world;our people are safer, our nation is more secure, and we are poised to end our combat mission in Iraq by the end of August, completing a drawdown of more than 90,000 troops since last January.Still, we are a nation at war.For the better part of a decade, our men and women in uniform have endured tour after tour in distant and dangerous places.Many have risked their lives.Many have given their lives.And as a grateful nation, humbled by their service, we can never honor these American heroes or their families enough.Just as we have a solemn responsibility to train and equip our troops before we send them into harm’s way, we have a solemn responsibility to provide our veterans and wounded warriors with the care and benefits they’ve earned when they come home.That is our sacred trust with all who serve – and it doesn’t end when their tour of duty does.To keep that trust, we’re building a 21st century VA, increasing its budget, and ensuring the steady stream of funding it needs to support medical care for our veterans.To help our veterans and their families pursue a college education, we’re funding and implementing the post-9/11 GI Bill.To deliver better care in more places, we’re expanding and increasing VA health care, building new wounded warrior facilities, and adapting care to better meet the needs of female veterans.To stand with those who sacrifice, we’ve dedicated new support for wounded warriors and the caregivers who put their lives on hold for a loved one’s long recovery.And to do right by our vets, we’re working to prevent and end veteran homelessness – because in the United States of America, no one who served in our uniform should sleep on our streets.We also know that for many of today’s troops and their families, the war doesn’t end when they come home.Too many suffer from the signature injuries of today’s wars: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injury.And too few receive the screening and treatment they need.Now, in past wars, this wasn’t something America always talked about.And as a result, our troops and their families often felt stigmatized or embarrassed when it came to seeking help.Today, we’ve made it clear up and down the chain of command that folks should seek help if they need it.In fact, we’ve expanded mental health counseling and services for our vets.But for years, many veterans with PTSD who have tried to seek benefits – veterans of today’s wars and earlier wars – have often found themselves stymied.They’ve been required to produce evidence proving that a specific event caused their PTSD.And that practice has kept the vast majority of those with PTSD who served in non-combat roles, but who still waged war, from getting the care they need.Well, I don’t think our troops on the battlefield should have to take notes to keep for a claims application.And I’ve met enough veterans to know that you don’t have to engage in a firefight to endure the trauma of war.So we’re changing the way things are done.On Monday, the Department of Veterans Affairs, led by Secretary Ric Shinseki, will begin making it easier for a veteran with PTSD to get the benefits he or she needs.This is a long-overdue step that will help veterans not just of the Afghanistan and Iraq Wars, but generations of their brave predecessors who proudly served and sacrificed in all our wars.It’s a step that proves America will always be here for our veterans, just as they’ve been there for us.We won’t let them down.We take care of our own.And as long as I’m Commander-in-Chief, that’s what we’re going to keep doing.Thank you.

Hi, everybody.Over the past four and a half years, we’ve been fighting our way back from aneconomic crisis and punishing recession that cost millions of Americans their jobs, their homes, andthe sense of security they’d worked so hard to build.And thanks to the grit and determination of the American people, our businesses have nowcreated nearly 7 million new jobs over the past 38 months.An auto industry that was flat lining is once again the heartbeat of American manufacturing – withAmericans buying more cars than we have in five years.Within the next few months, we’re projected to begin producing more of our own crude oil athome than we buy from other countries – the first time that’s happened in 16 years.Deficits that were growing for years are now shrinking at the fastest rate in decades.The rise ofhealth care costs is slowing, too.And a housing market that was in tatters is showing new signs ofreal strength.Sales are rising.Foreclosures are declining.Construction is expanding.And homeprices that are rising at the fastest rate in nearly seven years are helping a lot of families breathe alot easier.Now we need to do more.This week, my administration announced that we’re extending a program to help more responsiblefamilies modify their mortgages so they can stay in their homes.But to keep our housing market and our economy growing, Congress needs to step up and do itspart.Members of Congress will be coming back next week for an important month of work.We’vegot to keep this progress going until middle-class families start regaining that sense of security.Andwe can’t let partisan politics get in the way.Congress should pass a law giving every responsible homeowner the chance to save about$3,000 a year on their mortgage by refinancing at historically low interest rates.Congress should put more Americans to work rebuilding our crumbling roads and bridges, like theone that collapsed last week in Washington state.We’d all be safer, and the unemployment ratewould fall faster.And Congress should fix our broken immigration system by passing commonsense reform thatcontinues to strengthen our borders;holds employers accountable;provides a pathway toearned citizenship;and also modernizes our legal immigration system so that we’re reunitingfamilies and attracting the highly-skilled entrepreneurs and engineers who will help our economygrow.So there are a lot of reasons to feel optimistic about where we’re headed as a country – especiallyafter all we ’ ve fought through together.We’ve just got to keep going.Because we’ve got moregood jobs to create.We’ve got more kids to educate.We’ve got more doors of opportunity toopen for anyone who’s willing to work hard enough to walk through those doors.And if we work together, I’m as confident as I’ve ever been that we’ll get to where we need to be.Thanks and have a great weekend.

Weekly Address The White House MAY 11, 2013

Hi, everybody.Our top priority as a nation is reigniting the true engine of our economic growth –a rising, thriving middle class.And few things define what it is to be middle class in America morethan owning your own cornerstone of the American Dream: a home.Today, seven years after the real estate bubble burst, triggering the worst economic crisis sincethe Great Depression and costing millions of responsible Americans their jobs and their homes, ourhousing market is healing.Sales are up.Foreclosures are down.Construction is expanding.Andthanks to rising home prices over the past year, 1.7 million more American families have been ableto come up for air, because they’re no longer underwater on their mortgages.From the day I took office, I’ve made it a priority to help responsible homeowners and prevent thekind of recklessness that helped cause this crisis in the first place.My housing plan has already helped more than two million people refinance their mortgages, andthey’re saving an average of $3000 per year.My new consumer watchdog agency is moving forward on protections like a simpler, shortermortgage form that will help to keep hard-working families from getting ripped off.But we ’ ve still got more work to do.We ’ ve got more responsible homeowners to help – folkswho have never missed a mortgage payment, but aren’ t allowed to refinance;working familieswho have done everything right, but still owe more on their homes than they’re worth.Last week, I nominated a man named Mel Watt to take on these challenges as the head of theFederal Housing Finance Agency.Mel’s represented the people of North Carolina in Congress for 20years, and in that time, he helped lead efforts to put in place rules of the road that protectconsumers from dishonest mortgage lenders, and give responsible Americans the chance to owntheir own home.He’s the right person for the job, and that ’ s why Congress should do its job,and confirm him without delay.And they shouldn’t stop there.As I said before, more than two million Americans have alreadyrefinanced at today’s low rates, but we can do a lot better than that.I’ve called on Congress togive every responsible homeowner the chance to refinance, and with it, the opportunity to save$3,000 a year.That’s like a $3,000 tax cut.And if you’re one of the millions of Americans whocould take advantage of that, you should ask your representative in Congress why they won’t acton it.Our economy and our housing market are poised for progress – but we could do so much more ifwe work together.More good jobs.Greater security for middle-class families.A sense that yourhard work is rewarded.That’s what I’m fighting for – and that’s what I’m going to keep fighting foras long as I hold this office.Thank you.And have a great weekend.

Weekly Address The White House MAY 25, 2013

Hi, everybody.This week, I've been speaking about America's national security – our past, ourpresent, and our future.On Thursday, I outlined the future of our fight against terrorism – the threats we face, and theway in which we will meet them.On Friday, I went to Annapolis to celebrate the extraordinary young men and women of theUnited States Naval Academy's Class of 2013 – the sailors and Marines who will not only lead thatfight, but who will lead our country for decades to come.And on Monday, we celebrate Memorial Day.Unofficially, it's the start of summer – a chance for usto spend some time with family and friends, at barbecues or on the beach, getting a little fun andrelaxation in before heading back to work.It's also a day on which we set aside some time, on our own or with our families, to honor andremember all the men and women who have given their lives in service to this country we love.They are heroes, each and every one.They gave America the most precious thing they had – ―the last full measure of devotion.‖ And because they did, we are who we are today – a free andprosperous nation, the greatest in the world.At a time when only about one percent of the American people bear the burden of our defense,the service and sacrifice of our men and women in uniform isn't always readily apparent.That'spartly because our soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and coast guardsmen are so skilled at whatthey do.It's also because those who serve tend to do so quietly.They don't seek the limelight.They don't serve for our admiration, or even our gratitude.They risk their lives, and many givetheir lives, for something larger than themselves or any of us: the ideals of liberty and justice thatmake America a beacon of hope for the world.That's been true throughout our history – from our earliest days, when a tiny band ofrevolutionaries stood up to an Empire, to our 9/11 Generation, which continues to serve andsacrifice today.Every time a threat has risen, Americans have risen to meet it.And because of that courage – thatwillingness to fight, and even die – America endures.That is the purpose of Memorial Day.To remember with gratitude the countless men and womenwho gave their lives so we could know peace and live in freedom.And we must do more than remember.We must care for the loved ones that our fallen service members have left behind.We must make sure all our veterans have the care and benefits they've earned, and the jobs andopportunity they deserve.We must be there for the military families whose loved ones are in harm's way – for they serve aswell.And above all, we must make sure that the men and women of our armed forces have thesupport they need to achieve their missions safely at home and abroad.The young men and women I met at the Naval Academy this week know the meaning of service.They've studied the heroes of our history.They've chosen to follow in their footsteps – to standtheir watch, man a ship, lead a platoon.They are doing their part.And each of us must do ours.So this weekend, as we commemorate Memorial Day, I ask you to hold all our fallen heroes in yourhearts.And every day, let us work together to preserve what their sacrifices achieved – to make ourcountry even stronger, even more fair, even more free.That is our mission.It is our obligation.And it is our privilege, as the heirs of those who came before us, and as citizens of the UnitedStates of America.Thanks.
