WEEKLY ADDRESS: Working Together to
Meet our Fiscal Challenges
WASHINGTON In this weeks address, President Obama called on both
parties to cometogether during this unique moment to find a
significant, balanced approach to deficit reductionthat lets us
live within our means without hurting investments our economy needs
to grow andcreate jobs. The President believes the American people
deserve to have their leaders work in a
bipartisan way to find common ground to tackle our fiscal
challenges so we can be in a strongerposition to focus on new
job-creation measures to get the American people back to work.
Remarks of President Barack Obama
Weekly Address
July 9, 2011
Washington, DC
Earlier this week, we did something thats never been done here
at the White House we had aTwitter Town Hall. I even sent my first
live tweet as President. The questions at the town hallwere 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 versions of another
question. Theyd start by saying thatour politics has grown so
contentious. Then theyd ask, When will both parties in Congress
cometogether on behalf of the people who elected them?
Thats a really important question, and it goes to the heart of a
debate were having right now inthis country and thats the debate
about how to tackle the problem of our deficits and our debt.
Now, there are obviously real differences in approach. I believe
we need a balanced approach.That means taking on spending in our
domestic programs and our defense programs. It means
addressing the challenges in programs like Medicare so we can
strengthen those programs andprotect them for future generations.
And it means taking on spending in the tax code spendingon tax
breaks and deductions for the wealthiest Americans.
But I also know that Republicans and Democrats dont see eye to
eye on a number of issues. Andso, were going to continue working
over the weekend to bridge those gaps.The good news is, we agree on
some of the big things. We agree that after a decade of racking
updeficits and debt, we finally need to get our fiscal house in
order. We agree that to do that, both

sides are going to have to step outside their comfort zones and
make some political sacrifices.And we agree that we simply cannot
afford to default on our national obligations for the firsttime in
our history; that we need to uphold the full faith and credit of
the United States ofAmerica
With a recovery thats still fragile and isnt producing all the
jobs we need, the last thing we canafford is the usual partisan
game-playing in Washington. By getting our fiscal house in
order,Congress will be in a stronger position to focus on some of
the job-creating measures Ivealready proposed like putting people
to work rebuilding Americas infrastructure, or reformingour patent
system so that our innovators and entrepreneurs have a greater
incentive to generatenew products, or making college more
affordable for families. And businesses that may beholding back
because of the uncertainty surrounding the possibility of a default
by the U.S.government will have greater confidence to invest and
create jobs.
I know we can do this. We can meet our fiscal challenge. Thats
what the American people sentus here to do. They didnt send us here
to kick our problems down the road. Thats exactly what
they dont like about Washington. They sent us here to work
together. They sent us here to getthings done.
Right now, we have an extraordinary and extraordinarily rare
opportunity to move forward ina way that makes sure our government
lives within its means, that puts our economy on asounder footing
for the future, and that still invests in the things we need to
prosper in the yearsto come. And Im hopeful that we will rise to
the moment, and seize this opportunity, on behalfof all Americans,
and the future we hold in common. Thanks everyone, and have a
greatweekend.

North Korea Food Aid
Spokesperson Victoria Nuland (July 6): "There have to be
mechanisms that we have confidence in ... to
ensure that it is the truly needy and the truly hungry who
receive the aid, if and when we decide to go
forward." Full Text
Man was made for action, and to promote by the exertion of his
faculties suchchanges in the external circumstances both of himself
and others, as may seem mostfavourable to the happiness of all.
Hemust not be satisfied with indolent benevolence,nor fancy himself
the friend of mankind, because in his heart he wishes well to
the
prosperity of the world. That he may call forth the whole vigour
of his soul, andstrain every nerve, in order to produce those ends
which it is the purpose of his
being to advance, Nature has taught him, that neither himself
nor mankind can befully satisfied with his conduct, nor bestow upon
it the full measure of applause,unless he has actually produced
them. He is made to know, that the praise of goodintentions,
without the merit of good offices, will be but of little avail to
excite eitherthe loudest acclamations of the world, or even the
highest degree of self-applause.
(TMS II.iii.3.3).

The local monarch, Hermias, was himself interested in
philosophy, andthe philosophers encouraged him to fulfil the
Platonic ideal of becoming a
philosopher-king. Aristotle was later to write a hymn lamenting
hisuntimely death (he was murdered) and praising his personal
qualities forwhich he will be raised by the Muses to
immortality.---King Where is Your Sword?
A noble man compares and estimates
himself by an idea which is higher than
himself; and a mean man, by one lower
than himself. The one produces
aspiration; the other ambition, which is
the way in which a vulgar man aspires.
