迎新春當(dāng)代名人書(shū)畫(huà)展！
苗老師的章法，馬利的魚(yú)，賈洪吏的貓眼，祝秀琴的虎?，今天各路書(shū)畫(huà)名家作品云集在政協(xié)禮堂，為新春到來(lái)，為十八大提出推動(dòng)文化繁榮隆重獻(xiàn)禮！因?yàn)橛辛藲v史的王羲之，才有了今天的蘭亭序；也因?yàn)榻裉斓奶m亭序，才有了歷史的王羲之。書(shū)畫(huà)藝術(shù)創(chuàng)作固然重要，媒體傳播更加不容忽視，沒(méi)有了傳播，也就沒(méi)有了交流和溝通，同樣也沒(méi)有了作品的優(yōu)勝比較，再好的作品也只是“養(yǎng)在深潤(rùn)人未識(shí)”，而成為被埋沒(méi)的藝術(shù)?！皞}(cāng)廩實(shí)而知禮節(jié)，衣食足則知榮辱”，是春秋時(shí)期管子提出的，意思是物質(zhì)上富足了，精神上也要相應(yīng)發(fā)展。精神是文化的體現(xiàn)，物質(zhì)也是文化的體現(xiàn)，社會(huì)更是文化的體現(xiàn)。改革開(kāi)放30余年，我們國(guó)家取得了經(jīng)濟(jì)建設(shè)的空前繁榮，中國(guó)人在世界的地位卻沒(méi)有同步提高，因?yàn)榫裎拿鹘ㄔO(shè)卻明顯滯后，人民享受富裕生活的同時(shí)，沒(méi)有感到幸福，經(jīng)歷了十年文化浩劫，文化方向依然迷茫。
2011年10月18日中國(guó)共產(chǎn)黨第十七屆六中全會(huì)提出推動(dòng)社會(huì)主義文化大發(fā)展大繁榮，2012年黨的十八大又重新提出推進(jìn)文化繁榮，這是歷史性高瞻遠(yuǎn)矚，今天正是在這樣的大好環(huán)境下，我們推出本次迎新春書(shū)畫(huà)展，它是迎接文化新春的到來(lái)，迎接文化新紀(jì)元的到來(lái)，迎接文化新繁榮時(shí)期的到來(lái)?！袄^承與傳承”，是苗培紅老師對(duì)書(shū)法藝術(shù)的指導(dǎo)思想，今天的書(shū)展既是繼承與傳承的延續(xù)，也是拉開(kāi)世界華僑華人社團(tuán)聯(lián)合總會(huì)與北京梁鄒書(shū)畫(huà)院文化之旅聯(lián)誼的序幕，優(yōu)秀的書(shū)畫(huà)作品和書(shū)法藝術(shù)將為海外出展奠定基礎(chǔ)。借助世僑會(huì)在世界各地的華人僑領(lǐng)走向世界，推進(jìn)中國(guó)書(shū)法文明影響世界。中國(guó)漢字是唯一的象形文字，每一個(gè)字都是一篇文章和一個(gè)故事，演變和發(fā)展承載著一個(gè)民族獨(dú)有的文明，惟妙惟肖、美輪美奐，象舞蹈一樣在藝術(shù)家筆峰演繹著現(xiàn)代和復(fù)古的穿梭。
“蘭亭一序醉千年，何愁今日不羲之”。今天成千上萬(wàn)的書(shū)法愛(ài)好者，書(shū)畫(huà)藝術(shù)家正在演繹著“洛陽(yáng)紙貴”歷史文化盛景，文化的繁榮何愁不會(huì)到來(lái)呢，影響歷史的書(shū)畫(huà)大家時(shí)代也一定會(huì)浮現(xiàn)。
拾金不昧是人類(lèi)崇尚的生活文明，而中華文明卻闡釋著“路不拾遺”另一個(gè)高度，就像同樣是歌曲，一個(gè)是兒歌，而一個(gè)卻是美聲，這就是中華傲視世界的文明，這一點(diǎn)，書(shū)畫(huà)藝術(shù)以獨(dú)有的方式承載著。人生漫長(zhǎng)卻難足百年，而百年人生在五千年歷史長(zhǎng)河中只是曇花一現(xiàn)，我們沒(méi)有理由去爭(zhēng)議經(jīng)過(guò)了歷史篩選沉淀下來(lái)的優(yōu)秀文化，卻有義務(wù)將民族的精華傳承下去，對(duì)子孫后代負(fù)責(zé)。對(duì)今天短暫的文化滄桑一定抱有信心，老祖宗創(chuàng)造的文明在經(jīng)濟(jì)繁榮之后一定會(huì)回歸。
物質(zhì)世界的滿(mǎn)足永遠(yuǎn)不能填補(bǔ)精神世界的空虛，經(jīng)濟(jì)的騰飛也不是一個(gè)民族真正的崛起，老祖宗不會(huì)欺騙子孫后代，就像父母不會(huì)欺騙自己的孩子，繼承老祖宗的文化，傳承民族文化的文明，精神文明與物質(zhì)文明的同步發(fā)展，讓誠(chéng)信回歸、讓文化繁榮，才是實(shí)現(xiàn)中華民族的真正復(fù)興！
預(yù)祝本次書(shū)畫(huà)展取得圓滿(mǎn)成功！預(yù)祝大家新春快樂(lè)、和諧幸福！
第三篇：奧巴馬在夏威夷apec會(huì)議上的演講
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Good afternoon, everybody.Aloha.I want to begin by thanking the people of Hawaii for their extraordinary hospitality.Usually when Michelle and I and our daughters come back to visit, it's just one President, and this time we brought 21.So thank you so much for the incredible graciousness of the people of Hawaii--and their patience, because I know that traffic got tied up a little bit.Now, the single greatest challenge for the United States right now, and my highest priority as President, is creating jobs and putting Americans back to work.And one of the best ways to do that is to increase our trade and exports with other nations.Ninety-five percent of the world's consumers are beyond our borders.I want them to be buying goods with three words stamped on them: Made in America.So I've been doing everything I can to make sure that the United States is competing aggressively for the jobs and the markets of the future.No region will do more to shape our long-term economic future than the Asia Pacific region.As I've said, the United States is, and always will be, a Pacific nation.Many of our top trading partners are in this region.This is where we sell most of our exports, supporting some 5 million American jobs.And since this is the world's fastest growing region, the Asia Pacific is key to achieving my goal of doubling U.S.exports--a goal, by the way, which we are on track right now to meet.And that's why I've been proud to host APEC this year.It's been a chance to help lead the way towards a more seamless regional economy with more trade, more exports, and more jobs for our people.And I'm pleased that we've made progress in three very important areas.First, we agreed to a series of steps that will increase trade and bring our economies even closer.We agreed to a new set of principles on innovation to encourage the entrepreneurship that creates new businesses and new industries.With simplified customs and exemptions from certain tariffs we'll encourage more businesses to engage in more trade.And that includes our small businesses, which account for the vast majority of the companies in our economies.We agreed to a new initiative that will make it easier and faster for people to travel and conduct business across the region.And yesterday, I was pleased to sign legislation, a new travel card that will help our American businessmen and women travel more easily and get deals done in this region.I'd note that we also made a lot of progress increasing trade on the sidelines of APEC.As I announced yesterday, the United States and our eight partners reached the broad outlines of an agreement on the Trans-Pacific Partnership.And today I’m pleased that Japan, Canada and Mexico have now expressed an interest in this effort.This comes on the heels of our landmark trade agreements with South Korea, Panama and Colombia, which will support tens of thousands of American jobs.And in my meeting with President Medvedev, we discussed how to move ahead with Russia’s accession to the WTO, which will also mean more exports for American manufacturers and American farmers and ranchers.Second, APEC agreed on ways to promote the green growth we need for our energy security.We agreed to reduce tariffs on environmental goods and make it easier to export clean energy technologies that create green jobs.We raised the bar on ourselves and we’ll aim for even higher energy efficiencies.And we’re moving ahead with the effort to phase out fossil fuel subsidies.This would be a huge step toward creating clean energy economies and fighting climate change, which is a threat to both the beauty and the prosperity of the region.Third, we’re redoubling our efforts to make sure that regulations are encouraging trade and job creation, not discouraging trade and job creation.And this builds on the work that we’re doing in the United States to get rid of rules and regulations that are unjustified and that are overly burdensome.Our APEC partners are joining us in streamlining and coordinating regulations so that we’re sparking innovation and growth even as we protect public health and our environment.And finally, since many of the leaders here were also at the recent G20 summit, we continued our efforts to get the global economy to grow faster.APEC makes up more than half the global economy, and it will continue to play a key role in achieving the strong and balanced growth that we need.As I’ve said, as the world’s largest economy, the best thing that the United States can do for the global economy is to grow our own economy faster.And so I will continue to fight for the American Jobs Act so that we can put our people back to work.I was glad to see that Congress moved forward on one aspect of the jobs bill--tax credits for companies that are hiring veterans.But we’ve got to do a lot more than that.So, again, I want to thank the people of Hawaii for their extraordinary hospitality and for all that they’ve done to help make this summit such a success.I want to thank my fellow leaders for the seriousness and sense of common purpose that they brought to our work.And I believe that the progress we’ve made here will help create jobs and keep America competitive in a region that is absolutely vital not only for our economy but also for our national security.So, with that, I’m going to take a few questions.I’ll start with Ben Feller of AP.Q
Thank you very much, Mr.President.I’d like to ask you about Iran.Did you get any specific commitments from Russia or China on tightening sanctions? Did you move them at all? And do you fear the world is running out of options short of military intervention to keep Iran from getting nuclear weapons?
PRESIDENT OBAMA: One of the striking things over the last three years since I came into office is the degree of unity that we’ve been able to forge in the international community with respect to Iran.When I came into office, the world was divided and Iran was unified around its nuclear program.We now have a situation where the world is united and Iran is isolated.And because of our diplomacy and our efforts, we have, by far, the strongest sanctions on Iran that we’ve ever seen.And China and Russia were critical to making that happen.Had they not been willing to support those efforts in the United Nations, we would not be able to see the kind of progress that we’ve made.And they’re having an impact.All our intelligence indicates that Iran’s economy is suffering as a consequence of this.And we’re also seeing that Iran’s influence in the region has ebbed, in part because their approach to repression inside of Iran is contrary to the Arab Spring that has been sweeping the Middle East.So we are in a much stronger position now than we were two or three years ago with respect to Iran.Having said that, the recent IAEA report indicates what we already knew, which is, although Iran does not possess a nuclear weapon and is technically still allowing IAEA observers into their country, that they are engaging in a series of practices that are contrary to their international obligations and their IAEA obligations.And that’s what the IAEA report indicated.So what I did was to speak with President Medvedev, as well as President Hu, and all three of us entirely agree on the objective, which is making sure that Iran does not weaponize nuclear power and that we don’t trigger a nuclear arms race in the region.That’s in the interests of all of us.In terms of how we move forward, we will be consulting with them carefully over the next several weeks to look at what other options we have available to us.The sanctions have enormous bite and enormous scope, and we’re building off the platform that has already been established.The question is, are there additional measures that we can take.And we’re going to explore every avenue to see if we can solve this issue diplomatically.I have said repeatedly and I will say it today, we are not taking any options off the table, because it’s my firm belief that an Iran with a nuclear weapon would pose a security threat not only to the region but also to the United States.But our strong preference is to have Iran meet its international obligations, negotiate diplomatically, to allow them to have peaceful use of nuclear energy in accordance with international law, but at the same time, forswear the weaponization of nuclear power.And so we’re going to keep on pushing on that.And China and Russia have the same aims, the same objectives, and I believe that we’ll continue to cooperate and collaborate closely on that issue.Dan Lothian.Q
Thank you, Mr.President.Last night at the Republican debate, some of the hopefuls--they hope to get your job--they defended the practice of waterboarding, which is a practice that you banned in 2009.Herman Cain said, “I don’t see that as torture.”
Michelle Bachmann said that it’s “very effective.”
So I’m wondering if you think that they’re uninformed, out of touch, or irresponsible?
PRESIDENT OBAMA: That’s a multiple-choice question, isn’t it?(Laughter.)Let me just say this: They’re wrong.Waterboarding is torture.It’s contrary to America’s traditions.It’s contrary to our ideals.That’s not who we are.That’s not how we operate.We don’t need it in order to prosecute the war on terrorism.And we did the right thing by ending that practice.If we want to lead around the world, part of our leadership is setting a good example.And anybody who has actually read about and understands the practice of waterboarding would say that that is torture.And that's not something we do--period.Norah O'Donnell.Q
Thank you, Mr.President.If I could continue on that, the Republicans did have a debate on CBS last night.A lot of it was about foreign policy, and they were very critical of your record--
PRESIDENT OBAMA: That's shocking.(Laughter.)
Q
So if I could get you to respond to something that Mitt Romney said.He said your biggest foreign policy failure is Iran.He said that if you are reelected Iran will have a nuclear weapon.Is Mitt Romney wrong?
PRESIDENT OBAMA: I am going to make a practice of not commenting on whatever is said in Republican debates until they've got an actual nominee.But as I indicated to Ben in the earlier question, you take a look at what we've been able to accomplish in mobilizing the world community against Iran over the last three years and it shows steady, determined, firm progress in isolating the Iranian regime, and sending a clear message that the world believes it would be dangerous for them to have a nuclear weapon.Now, is this an easy issue? No.Anybody who claims it is, is either politicking or doesn’t know what they're talking about.But I think not only the world, but the Iranian regime understands very clearly how determined we are to prevent not only a nuclear Iran but also a nuclear arms race in the region, and a violation of nonproliferation norms that would have implications around the world, including in the Asia Pacific region where we have similar problems with North Korea.David Nakamura.Q
Thank you, Mr.President.Yesterday in a speech before business leaders, you said that you want China to play by the rules.And then your staff later said that, in a bilateral meeting with President Hu, that you expressed that American business leaders are growing frustrated with the pace of change in China's economy.What rules is China not playing by? What specific steps do you need to see from China? And what punitive actions is your administration willing to take, as you said it would yesterday, if China does not play by the rules?
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Well, first of all, I also said yesterday that we welcome the peaceful rise of China.It is in America's interests to see China succeed in lifting hundreds of millions of people out of poverty.China can be a source of stability and help to underwrite international norms and codes of conduct.And so what we've done over the last two years is to try to develop a frank, consistent, open relationship and dialogue with China, and it's yielded considerable benefits--for example, support for issues like Iran.But what I've also said to Chinese leadership since I came into office is that when it comes to their economic practices, there are a range of things that they have done that disadvantage not just the United States but a whole host of their trading partners and countries in the region.The most famous example is the issue of China's currency.Most economists estimate that the RMB is devalued by 20 to 25 percent.That means our exports to China are that much more expensive, and their imports into the United States are that much cheaper.Now, there's been slight improvement over the last year, partly because of U.S.pressure, but it hasn’t been enough.And it's time for them to go ahead and move towards a market-based system for their currency.We recognize they may not be able to do it overnight, but they can do it much more quickly than they’ve done it so far.And, by the way, that would not necessarily be a bad thing for the Chinese economy, because they’ve been so focused on export-driven growth that they’ve neglected domestic consumption, building up domestic markets.It makes them much more vulnerable to shocks in the global economy.It throws the whole world economy out of balance because they’re not buying as much as they could be from other countries.And this is not something that’s inconsistent with where Chinese leadership say they want to go.The problem is, is that you’ve got a bunch of export producers in China who like the system as it is, and making changes are difficult for them politically.I get it.But the United States and other countries, I think understandably, feel that enough is enough.That’s not the only concern we have.Intellectual property rights and protections--companies that do business in China consistently report problems in terms of intellectual property not being protected.Now, that’s particularly important for an advanced economy like ours, where that’s one of our competitive advantages, is we’ve got great engineers, great entrepreneurs, we’re designing extraordinary new products.And if they get no protection and the next thing you know China is operating as a low-cost producer and not paying any fees or revenues to folks who invented these products, that’s a problem.So those are two examples, but there are a number of others.These practices aren’t secret.I think everybody understands that they’ve been going on for quite some time.Sometimes, American companies are wary about bringing them up because they don’t want to be punished in terms of their ability to do business in China.But I don’t have that same concern, so I bring it up.And in terms of enforcement, the other thing that we’ve been doing is actually trying to enforce the trade laws that are in place.We’ve brought a number of cases--one that the U.S.press may be familiar with are the cases involving U.S.tires, where we brought very aggressive actions against China and won.And as a consequence, U.S.producers are in a better position, and that means more U.S.jobs.So I think we can benefit from trade with China.And I want certainly to continue cultivating a constructive relationship with the Chinese government, but we’re going to continue to be firm in insisting that they operate by the same rules that everybody else operates under.We don’t want them taking advantage of the United States or U.S.businesses.Jake Tapper.Q
Thank you, Mr.President.The other day you told ESPN that the scandal at Penn State--which you said was heartbreaking--should prompt some soul-searching throughout the nation.I’m wondering if you could elaborate on that, what exactly you meant and--I know you’re a big fan of college sports--if this something you think that is an indictment not just of what happened at Penn State, allegedly, but how athletics are revered in universities.PRESIDENT OBAMA: Well, I think that’s the kind of soul-searching that I was referring to, Jake.You’re right, I’m a big college sports fan.I think that when it’s kept in perspective, college athletics not only provides a great outlet for competition for our young people, but helps to bring a sense of community and can help to brand a university in a way that is fun and important.But what happened at Penn State indicates that at a certain point, folks start thinking about systems and institutions and don’t think about individuals.And when you think about how vulnerable kids are, for the alleged facts of that case to have taken place and for folks not to immediately say, nothing else matters except making sure those kids are protected, that’s a problem.It’s not unique to a college sports environment.I mean, we’ve seen problems in other institutions that are equally heartbreaking.Not all of them involve children, by the way.There have been problems, obviously, with respect to sexual abuse or assault directed against women, where institutions sort of closed ranks instead of getting on top of it right away.And that’s why I said I think all institutions, not just universities or sports programs, have to step back and take stock, and make sure that we’re doing everything we can to protect people who may be vulnerable in these circumstances, but also just keep in mind what’s important--making sure that our excitement about a college sports program doesn’t get in the way of our basic human response when somebody is being hurt.And it’s been said that evil can thrive in the world just by good people standing by and doing nothing.And all of us I think have occasion where we see something that’s wrong, we’ve got to make sure that we step up.That’s true in college athletics.That’s true in our government.That’s true everywhere.Julianna Goldman.Q
Thank you, Mr.President.In conversations that you’ve had over the past couple of days with Asia Pacific leaders, have any of them brought up the rhetoric that we’re seeing from Republican presidential candidates when it comes to China? And does that kind of rhetoric or posturing jeopardize the progress that your administration has made with China and the Asia Pacific region as a whole?
THE PRESIDENT: I think most leaders here understand that politics is not always measured or on the level, and so most of our discussions have to do with substance: How do we put our people back to work right now? How do we expand trade? How do we expand exports?
I’ve been very frank with Chinese leaders, though, in saying that the American people across the board--left, right and center--believe in trade, believe in competition.We think we’ve got the best workers in the world.We think we’ve got the best universities, the best entrepreneurs, the best free market.We’re ready to go out there and compete with anybody.But there is a concern across the political spectrum that the playing field is not level right now.And so, in conversations with President Hu and others, what I’ve tried to say is we have the opportunity to move in a direction in which this is a win-win: China is benefiting from trade with the United States;the United States is benefiting as well.Jobs are being created in the United States and not just in China.But right now things are out of kilter.And that is something that is shared across the board, as we saw with the recent vote on the Chinese currency issue in the Senate.And I think leaders in the region understand that as China grows, as its economic influence expands, that the expectation is, is that they will be a responsible leader in the world economy--which is what the United States has tried to do.I mean, we try to set up rules that are universal, that everybody can follow, and then we play by those rules.And then we compete fiercely.But we don’t try to game the system.That’s part of what leadership is about.China has the opportunity to be that same type of leader.And as the world’s second-largest economy, I think that’s going to be important not just for this region, but for the world.But that requires them to take responsibility, to understand that their role is different now than it might have been 20 years ago or 30 years ago, where if they were breaking some rules, it didn’t really matter, it did not have a significant impact.You weren’t seeing huge trade imbalances that had consequences for the world financial system.Now they’ve grown up, and so they’re going to have to help manage this process in a responsible way.Laura Meckler.Q
Thank you, Mr.President.Why did you get rid of the aloha shirts and the grass skirts?(Laughter.)Are you at all concerned that it not appear that you’re having a party over here while so many people are living with such a tough economy? And I’m wondering if those perceptions were at all on your mind as you were making plans for this trip, which, by necessity, takes you to some pretty exotic and fun locations.PRESIDENT OBAMA: I got rid of the Hawaiian shirts because I had looked at pictures of some of the previous APEC meetings and some of the garb that had appeared previously, and I thought this may be a tradition that we might want to break.I suggested to the leaders--we gave them a shirt, and if they wanted to wear the shirt, I promise you it would have been fine.But I didn’t hear a lot of complaints about us breaking precedent on that one.With respect to this trip, look, this is a pretty nice piece of scenery here and I take enormous pride in having been raised in the state of Hawaii, but we’re here for business.We’re here to create jobs.We’re here to promote exports.And we’ve got a set of tangible, concrete steps that have been taken that are going to make our economy stronger, and that’s part of what our leadership has been about.When I went to Europe last week, our job was to help shape a solution for the European crisis.And a lot of folks back home might have wondered, well, that’s Europe’s problem;why are we worrying about it? Well, if Europe has a major recession, and the financial system in Europe starts spinning out of control, that will have a direct impact on U.S.growth and our ability to create jobs and people raising their living standards.The same is true out here.If we’re not playing out here in the world’s largest regional economy and the world’s fastest regional economy, if we’ve abandoned the field and we’re not engaged, American businesses will lose out and those jobs won’t be in the United States of America.So part of my job is to make sure that the rules of the road are set up so that our folks can compete effectively.Part of my job is to sell America and our products and our services around the world, and I think we’ve done so very effectively.And as I said, just to take the example of exports, we’re on track to double our exports since I came into office.That was a goal I set, and we’re on track to meet it.That’s actually been one of the stronger parts of our economic growth over the last couple of years.And I want to make sure that we keep on driving that.Chuck Todd.Q
Thank you, Mr.President.The Republican co-chair of the super committee, Jeb Hensarling, went on TV today and said if the sequester happens--this idea of the automatic cuts in Medicare and defense--that there was plenty of motivation and plenty of votes to change the makeup of these automatic cuts.I know you had a conversation with him about this and said that changing it in any way was off the table, that means you’re going to veto this bill, if that’s the case, if it ends up they can’t get a deal in the next 10 days.And then, can you clarify your end of the “hot mic” conversation with French President Nicolas Sarkozy, as it involved Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu?
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Could I just say that Chuck is the only guy who asked two questions--so far.So just--when I cut off here, whoever was next in the queue--I’m messing with you, Chuck.With respect to the super committee, in August we negotiated to initiate a trillion dollars in cuts over the next 10 years--primarily out of discretionary spending--but we also said that in order for us to move towards a more stable fiscal condition that we’re going to have to get an additional $1.2 trillion--minimum.I actually argued that we needed more than that.And the whole idea of the sequester was to make sure that both sides felt obligated to move off rigid positions and do what was required to help the country.And since that time, they’ve had a lot of conversations, but it feels as if people continue to try to stick with their rigid positions rather than solve the problem.Now, I’ve put forward a very detailed approach that would achieve $3 trillion-plus in savings.And it’s the sort of balanced approach that the American people prefer.It says everything is on the table.We’ve got to have discretionary spending cuts of the sort we’ve already put in place.We’ve got to have non-defense cuts.We’ve got to have defense cuts.We’re going to have to look at entitlement programs.We’ve got to reduce our health care costs.And we’re going to need additional revenue.And when we’re talking about revenue, if we’ve got to raise money, it makes sense for us to start by asking the wealthiest among us to pay a little bit more before we start asking seniors, for example, to pay a lot more for their Medicare.Now, this is the same presentation that I made to Speaker Boehner back in August.It’s the same kind of balanced approach that every single independent committee that’s looked at this has said needs to be done.And it just feels as if people keep on wanting to jigger the math so that they get a different outcome.Well, the equation, no matter how you do it, is going to be the same.If you want a balanced approach that doesn’t gut Medicare and Medicaid, doesn’t prevent us from making investments in education and basic science and research--all the things we’ve been talking about here at APEC, that every world leader understands is the key for long-term economic success--then prudent cuts have to be matched up with revenue.My hope is that over the next several days, the congressional leadership on the super committee go ahead and bite the bullet and do what needs to be done--because the math won’t change.There’s no magic formula.There are no magic beans that you can toss on the ground and suddenly a bunch of money grows on trees.We got to just go ahead and do the responsible thing.And I’m prepared to sign legislation that is balanced, that solves this problem.One other thing that I want to say about this: When I meet with world leaders, what’s striking--whether it’s in Europe or here in Asia--the kinds of fundamental reforms and changes both on the revenue side and the public pension side that other countries are having to make are so much more significant than what we need to do in order to get our books in order.This doesn’t require radical changes to America or its way of life.It just means that we spread out the sacrifice across every sector so that it’s fair;so that people don’t feel as if once again people who are well connected, people who have lobbyists, special interests get off easy, and the burden is placed on middle-class families that are already struggling.So if other countries can do it, we can do it--and we can do it in a responsible way.I’m not going to comment on whether I’d veto a particular bill until I actually see a bill, because I still hold out the prospect that there’s going to be a light-bulb moment where everybody says “Ah-ha!Here’s what we’ve got to do.”
With respect to the “hot mic” in France, I’m not going to comment on conversations that I have with individual leaders, but what I will say is this: The primary conversation I had with President Sarkozy in that meeting revolved around my significant disappointment that France had voted in favor of the Palestinians joining UNESCO, knowing full well that under our laws, that would require the United States cutting off funding to UNESCO, and after I had consistently made the argument that the only way we’re going to solve the Middle East situation is if Palestinians and Israelis sit down at the table and negotiate;that it is not going to work to try to do an end run through the United Nations.So I had a very frank and firm conversation with President Sarkozy about that issue.And that is consistent with both private and public statements that I’ve been making to everybody over the last several months.Ed Henry.Q
Mr.President, I have three questions--(laughter)--starting with Mitt Romney.Just one question, I promise.(Laughter.)
You started with a $447-billion jobs bill.Two months later, many speeches later, you’ve got virtually nothing from that.You’ve got the veterans jobs bill--which is important, obviously--and a lot of executive orders.Are you coming to the realization that you may just get nothing here and go to the American people in 2012 without another jobs bill, 9 percent unemployment, and then wondering about your leadership, sir?
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Well, I think--I think, first of all, the American people, at this point, are wondering about congressional leadership in failing to pass the jobs bill, the components of which the majority of Americans, including many Republicans, think are a good idea.And that's part of the reason why the American people right now aren’t feeling real good about Congress.Normally, by the way, the way politics works is if the overwhelming majority of the American people aren’t happy with what you're doing you start doing something different.So far that hasn’t happened in Congress--and the Republicans in Congress, in particular.They don't seem to have that same sense of urgency about needing to put people back to work.I'm going to keep on pushing.My expectation is, is that we will get some of it done now, and I'll keep on pushing until we get all of it done.And that may take me all the way to November to get it all done.And it may take a new Congress to get it all done.But the component parts--cutting taxes for middle-class families, cutting taxes for small businesses that are hiring our veterans and hiring the long-term unemployed, putting teachers back in the classroom--here in the state of Hawaii, you have a bunch of kids who are going to school four days a week because of budget problems.How are we going to win the competition in the 21st century with our kids going to school basically halftime? The jobs bill would help alleviate those budget pressures at the state level.Rebuilding our infrastructure.Every world leader that you talk to, they're saying to themselves, how can we make sure we've got a first-class infrastructure? And as you travel through the Asia Pacific region, you see China having better airports than us, Singapore having superior ports to ours.Well, that's going to impact our capacity to do business here, our capacity to trade, our capacity to get U.S.products made by U.S.workers into the fastest-growing market in the world.And by the way, we could put a lot of people back to work at the same time.So I'm going to keep on pushing.And my expectation is, is that we will just keep on chipping away at this.If you're asking me do I anticipate that the Republican leadership in the House or the Senate suddenly decide that I was right all along and they will adopt a hundred percent of my proposals, the answer is, no, I don't expect that.Do I anticipate that at some point they recognize that doing nothing is not an option? That's my hope.And that should be their hope, too, because if they don't, I think we'll have a different set of leaders in Congress.All right? Thank you very much, everybody.Thank you.

美國(guó)總統(tǒng)奧巴馬在亞太經(jīng)合組織峰會(huì)第一階段會(huì)議上的開(kāi)幕詞
J.W.萬(wàn)豪酒店 夏威夷檀香山 2011年11月13日
Good morning, everybody.It is my great pleasure to welcome all of you, officially, to the APEC Leaders Meeting.This is the first time in nearly 20 years that the United States has hosted this forum, and it comes at a time when America is very focused on how we can work together in a cooperative, effective way in the Trans-Pacific region.各位早上好。我十分高興正式歡迎各位出席亞太經(jīng)合組織領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人會(huì)議。這是美國(guó)將近20年來(lái)首次主辦亞太經(jīng)合組織會(huì)議，此次會(huì)議的召開(kāi)正值美國(guó)全力關(guān)注我們?nèi)绾卧诳缣窖蟮貐^(qū)以合作、有效的方式作出共同努力的時(shí)刻。
And obviously I'm particularly pleased that we’re meeting in my home state of Hawaii, which reflects the deep connections between the peoples of our region.And I hope everybody had a wonderful evening last night.I've heard that some of you wanted to join in the hula dancing--(laughter)--I'm sorry we did not give you that opportunity.毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)，我為各位聚集在我的家鄉(xiāng)夏威夷州出席這次會(huì)議感到特別高興，這體現(xiàn)了我們這一地區(qū)各國(guó)人民之間的深切聯(lián)系。我希望昨晚大家過(guò)得非常愉快。我聽(tīng)說(shuō)，你們中有些人想?yún)⒓雍衾钑?huì)——（笑聲）——但很抱歉，我們未能給大家這樣的機(jī)會(huì)。
Now it’s time to get down to work, and we have much to do.Our 21 economies--our nearly 3 billion citizens--are looking to us to bring our economies closer, to increase exports, to expand trade and opportunity that creates jobs and economic growth.That’s why we’re here.現(xiàn)在該著手工作了，我們有很多事情要做。我們21個(gè)經(jīng)濟(jì)體——將近30億人口——期待著我們加強(qiáng)各經(jīng)濟(jì)體之間的聯(lián)系，增加出口，擴(kuò)大貿(mào)易和機(jī)會(huì)以創(chuàng)造就業(yè)和促進(jìn)經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)。這就是我們舉行這次會(huì)議的目的。
I'm confident that we can make significant progress.We’ve done it before.Since APEC started, we’ve slashed tariffs and barriers to trade and investment.Commerce in the region has soared--creating new jobs, new markets and raising living standards across the region.我相信我們能夠取得重大的進(jìn)展。我們過(guò)去做到了這一點(diǎn)。自亞太經(jīng)合組織成立以來(lái)，我們削減了關(guān)稅以及貿(mào)易與投資的障礙。本地區(qū)的商貿(mào)往來(lái)大增，從而創(chuàng)造了新的就業(yè)崗位，開(kāi)辟了新的市場(chǎng)，提高了整個(gè)地區(qū)的生活水平。
And I want to emphasize that the Asia Pacific region is absolutely critical to America's economic growth.We consider it a top priority.And we consider it a top priority because we're not going to be able to put our folks back to work and grow our economy and expand opportunity unless the Asia Pacific region is also successful.我想強(qiáng)調(diào)，亞太地區(qū)對(duì)美國(guó)的經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)絕對(duì)重要。我們將這一地區(qū)視作首要重點(diǎn)。我們之所以將這一地區(qū)視作首要重點(diǎn)是因?yàn)槲覀儗o(wú)法使我們的人民重返工作崗位、使我們的經(jīng)濟(jì)獲得增長(zhǎng)、機(jī)會(huì)進(jìn)一步擴(kuò)大，除非亞太地區(qū)也獲得成功。
This region includes many of our top trading partners.This is where we do most of our trade and where we sell most of our exports.It's also the fastest growing region in the world.And as a consequence, the Asia Pacific region is key to achieving my goal of doubling U.S.exports and creating new jobs.亞太地區(qū)包含很多我們的主要貿(mào)易伙伴。這是我們進(jìn)行最多的貿(mào)易和出口最多商品的地區(qū)，也是世界上經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)最快的地區(qū)。因此，亞太地區(qū)對(duì)實(shí)現(xiàn)美國(guó)出口翻倍和創(chuàng)造新的就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)的目標(biāo)至關(guān)重要。
Today, we've got an opportunity to make progress towards our ultimate goal, which is a seamless regional economy.We’re going to be focusing on three specific areas: increasing trade and investment, promoting green jobs, and streamlining and coordinating regulations so that we encourage trade and job creation.And more broadly, we’ll be discussing how we can work together to spur on quicker economic growth and more sturdy and sustainable economic growth.The economies of this region have a critical role to play in addressing the imbalances and making sure that growth is balanced and sustainable in the future.今天，我們得到機(jī)會(huì)為實(shí)現(xiàn)我們的最終目標(biāo)——無(wú)縫地區(qū)經(jīng)濟(jì)——取得進(jìn)展。我們將集中關(guān)注三個(gè)具體領(lǐng)域：增加貿(mào)易與投資，促進(jìn)綠色就業(yè)，為鼓勵(lì)貿(mào)易和創(chuàng)造就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)而提高和協(xié)調(diào)規(guī)制。在更廣的范圍內(nèi)，我們將討論如何進(jìn)行合作以促進(jìn)更快速的經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)以及更強(qiáng)勁和持續(xù)的經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)。本地區(qū)各經(jīng)濟(jì)體應(yīng)發(fā)揮關(guān)鍵性的作用以解決不平衡的問(wèn)題，確保未來(lái)平衡、可持續(xù)的經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)。
So I want to thank my fellow leaders for being here.I’m confident that we can continue to make significant progress during the course of this day.因此，我要感謝各位領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人前來(lái)出席會(huì)議。我相信我們?cè)谶@一天的過(guò)程中能夠繼續(xù)取得重大的進(jìn)展。
Before we begin discussing this morning's topic, I want to congratulate Japan on the superb job it did in hosting APEC in 2010.Prime Minister Noda of Japan set a high bar for us, so we are going to try to follow your footsteps.在開(kāi)始討論今天上午的議題前，我想祝賀日本十分出色地主辦了2010年的亞太經(jīng)合組織會(huì)議。日本首相野田為我們?cè)O(shè)定了很高的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，我們將努力趕上。
I also want to recognize the outstanding work that's been done by our officials and ministers during the course of this year to move forward an ambitious set of initiatives.我還想對(duì)我們的官員和部長(zhǎng)們?cè)谶@一年中為推動(dòng)一套宏偉的行動(dòng)計(jì)劃所作的出色工作表示贊賞。
The focus of our host year was to make progress towards a seamless regional economy, and we have made progress in the three themes that we set out--regional economic integration, green growth, and regulatory reform.We have agreed to address a set of next-generation trade issues, including removing frictions in the global supply chains, helping small and medium-size enterprises grow and better plug into the global trading system, and adopting smart, market-oriented innovation policies.Innovation is especially critical to all of us, and we all want to take appropriate steps to encourage it, because without it we can't grow, become more productive or create enough jobs.我們擔(dān)任亞太經(jīng)合組織會(huì)議主辦國(guó)的這一年的重點(diǎn)目標(biāo)是朝著無(wú)縫地區(qū)經(jīng)濟(jì)的方向邁進(jìn)，我們?cè)谝汛_定的三大議題方面——地區(qū)經(jīng)濟(jì)一體化、綠色增長(zhǎng)和規(guī)制改革——取得進(jìn)展。我們一致同意解決一系列下一代的貿(mào)易問(wèn)題，包括排除全球供應(yīng)鏈中的摩擦、幫助中小企業(yè)發(fā)展并更加適應(yīng)全球貿(mào)易體系以及采納明智的、以市場(chǎng)為導(dǎo)向的創(chuàng)新政策。創(chuàng)新對(duì)我們大家尤其重要，我們都想采取恰當(dāng)?shù)牟襟E鼓勵(lì)創(chuàng)新，因?yàn)闆](méi)有創(chuàng)新就沒(méi)有增長(zhǎng)，無(wú)法提高生產(chǎn)率，無(wú)法創(chuàng)造足夠的就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)。

Now it’s time to get down to work, and we have much to do.Our 21 economies--our nearly 3 billion citizens--are looking to us to bring our economies closer, to increase exports, to expand trade and opportunity that creates jobs and economic growth.That’s why we’re here.現(xiàn)在該著手工作了，我們有很多事情要做。我們21個(gè)經(jīng)濟(jì)體——將近30億人口——期待著我們加強(qiáng)各經(jīng)濟(jì)體之間的聯(lián)系，增加出口，擴(kuò)大貿(mào)易和機(jī)會(huì)以創(chuàng)造就業(yè)和促進(jìn)經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)。這就是我們舉行這次會(huì)議的目的。
I'm confident that we can make significant progress.We’ve done it before.Since APEC started, we’ve slashed tariffs and barriers to trade and investment.Commerce in the region has soared--creating new jobs, new markets and raising living standards across the region.我相信我們能夠取得重大的進(jìn)展。我們過(guò)去做到了這一點(diǎn)。自亞太經(jīng)合組織成立以來(lái)，我們削減了關(guān)稅以及貿(mào)易與投資的障礙。本地區(qū)的商貿(mào)往來(lái)大增，從而創(chuàng)造了新的就業(yè)崗位，開(kāi)辟了新的市場(chǎng)，提高了整個(gè)地區(qū)的生活水平。
And I want to emphasize that the Asia Pacific region is absolutely critical to America's economic growth.We consider it a top priority.And we consider it a top priority because we're not going to be able to put our folks back to work and grow our economy and expand opportunity unless the Asia Pacific region is also successful.我想強(qiáng)調(diào)，亞太地區(qū)對(duì)美國(guó)的經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)絕對(duì)重要。我們將這一地區(qū)視作首要重點(diǎn)。我們之所以將這一地區(qū)視作首要重點(diǎn)是因?yàn)槲覀儗o(wú)法使我們的人民重返工作崗位、使我們的經(jīng)濟(jì)獲得增長(zhǎng)、機(jī)會(huì)進(jìn)一步擴(kuò)大，除非亞太地區(qū)也獲得成功。
This region includes many of our top trading partners.This is where we do most of our trade and where we sell most of our exports.It's also the fastest growing region in the world.And as a consequence, the Asia Pacific region is key to achieving my goal of doubling U.S.exports and creating new jobs.亞太地區(qū)包含很多我們的主要貿(mào)易伙伴。這是我們進(jìn)行最多的貿(mào)易和出口最多商品的地區(qū)，也是世界上經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)最快的地區(qū)。因此，亞太地區(qū)對(duì)實(shí)現(xiàn)美國(guó)出口翻倍和創(chuàng)造新的就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)的目標(biāo)至關(guān)重要。
Today, we've got an opportunity to make progress towards our ultimate goal, which is a seamless regional economy.We’re going to be focusing on three specific areas: increasing trade and investment, promoting green jobs, and streamlining and coordinating regulations so that we encourage trade and job creation.And more broadly, we’ll be discussing how we can work together to spur on quicker economic growth and more sturdy and sustainable economic growth.The economies of this region have a critical role to play in addressing the imbalances and making sure that growth is balanced and sustainable in the future.今天，我們得到機(jī)會(huì)為實(shí)現(xiàn)我們的最終目標(biāo)——無(wú)縫地區(qū)經(jīng)濟(jì)——取得進(jìn)展。我們將集中關(guān)注三個(gè)具體領(lǐng)域：增加貿(mào)易與投資，促進(jìn)綠色就業(yè)，為鼓勵(lì)貿(mào)易和創(chuàng)造就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)而提高和協(xié)調(diào)規(guī)制。在更廣的范圍內(nèi)，我們將討論如何進(jìn)行合作以促進(jìn)更快速的經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)以及更強(qiáng)勁和持續(xù)的經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)。本地區(qū)各經(jīng)濟(jì)體應(yīng)發(fā)揮關(guān)鍵性的作用以解決不平衡的問(wèn)題，確保未來(lái)平衡、可持續(xù)的經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)。
So I want to thank my fellow leaders for being here.I’m confident that we can continue to make significant progress during the course of this day.因此，我要感謝各位領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人前來(lái)出席會(huì)議。我相信我們?cè)谶@一天的過(guò)程中能夠繼續(xù)取得重大的進(jìn)展。
Before we begin discussing this morning's topic, I want to congratulate Japan on the superb job it did in hosting APEC in 2010.Prime Minister Noda of Japan set a high bar for us, so we are going to try to follow your footsteps.在開(kāi)始討論今天上午的議題前，我想祝賀日本十分出色地主辦了2010年的亞太經(jīng)合組織會(huì)議。日本首相野田為我們?cè)O(shè)定了很高的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，我們將努力趕上。
I also want to recognize the outstanding work that's been done by our officials and ministers during the course of this year to move forward an ambitious set of initiatives.我還想對(duì)我們的官員和部長(zhǎng)們?cè)谶@一年中為推動(dòng)一套宏偉的行動(dòng)計(jì)劃所作的出色工作表示贊賞。
The focus of our host year was to make progress towards a seamless regional economy, and we have made progress in the three themes that we set out--regional economic integration, green growth, and regulatory reform.We have agreed to address a set of next-generation trade issues, including removing frictions in the global supply chains, helping small and medium-size enterprises grow and better plug into the global trading system, and adopting smart, market-oriented innovation policies.Innovation is especially critical to all of us, and we all want to take appropriate steps to encourage it, because without it we can't grow, become more productive or create enough jobs.我們擔(dān)任亞太經(jīng)合組織會(huì)議主辦國(guó)的這一年的重點(diǎn)目標(biāo)是朝著無(wú)縫地區(qū)經(jīng)濟(jì)的方向邁進(jìn)，我們?cè)谝汛_定的三大議題方面——地區(qū)經(jīng)濟(jì)一體化、綠色增長(zhǎng)和規(guī)制改革——取得進(jìn)展。我們一致同意解決一系列下一代的貿(mào)易問(wèn)題，包括排除全球供應(yīng)鏈中的摩擦、幫助中小企業(yè)發(fā)展并更加適應(yīng)全球貿(mào)易體系以及采納明智的、以市場(chǎng)為導(dǎo)向的創(chuàng)新政策。創(chuàng)新對(duì)我們大家尤其重要，我們都想采取恰當(dāng)?shù)牟襟E鼓勵(lì)創(chuàng)新，因?yàn)闆](méi)有創(chuàng)新就沒(méi)有增長(zhǎng)，無(wú)法提高生產(chǎn)率，無(wú)法創(chuàng)造足夠的就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)。
