Today is the first of five regional forums following up on the forum at the White House a week ago, hosted by Governors Jennifer Granholm of Michigan and Jim Doyle of Wisconsin. As the President explained in the announcement of the regional forums, they will be meant to foster the same kind of meaningful and open dialogue that occurred at the White House in communities acros...
THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. Well, this is not how I expected to wake up this morning. After I received the news, Malia walked in and said, "Daddy, you won the Nobel Peace Prize, and it is Bo’s birthday!" And then Sasha added, "Plus, we have a three-day weekend coming up." So it’s good to have kids to keep things in perspective. I am both surp...

It has now been three months since the tragic events in Newtown, Connecticut. Three months since we lost 20 innocent children and six dedicated adults who had so much left to give. Three months since we, as Americans, began asking ourselves if we’re really doing enough to protect our communities and keep our children safe. For the families who lost a loved one on that ...
Now, in the long run — all that’s in the short term. That’s still part of the emergency effort to help build the economy and grow it coming out of the recession. But in the long run, we need to invest in the technologies and innovation that will lead to the jobs and the industries of tomorrow. So I want to introduce to everybody who’s here — we...

This week, a new economic report confirmed what most Americans already believe to be true: over the past three decades, the middle class has lost ground while the wealthiest few have become even wealthier. In fact, the average income for the top one percent of Americans has risen almost seven times faster than the income of the average middle class family. And this has happe...

$18 billion. That’s what Wall Street bankers pulled down in bonuses over the past two months, according to a report from the New York State comptroller — even as many of these institutions received billions in taxpayer dollars. "That is the height of irresponsibility. It is shameful," President Obama said today, following a meeting with Vice President J...
We also have to focus on community colleges, because that’s — it’s not just enough to have kids getting good educations. We have to have adults who are constantly retraining. I mean, how many here — how many folks here who are working at Gamesa took some sort of training class at a community college that helped them along the way? Anybody? Look at tha...
Remarks of President Barack ObamaSaturday, May 1, 2010Weekly AddressWashington, DC Over the past few weeks, as we’ve debated reforms to hold Wall Street accountable and protect consumers and small businesses in our financial system, we’ve come face-to-face with the great power of special interests in the workings of our democracy. Of course, this isn’t a su...
The Department of Justice has had a rough couple of years. But there’s a new sheriff in town. Just a few moments ago, Eric Holder was sworn in by Vice President Joe Biden, becoming the first African American Attorney General in the nation’s history. In a short video message to the employees of the Department this morning, Holder promised to set things right at wh...

THE PRESIDENT: Hello, everybody. Good morning. Before I begin, I want to say a brief word about the historic vote which took place early this morning.

By standing up to the special interests — who’ve ...
