So were so proud of Kiara for the introduction and for sharing yourstory, and youre just so poised. And Iknow Geoff Canad
2、a is just out there all excited - (laughter) - and proud, andI know your mom is proud. I know she is. She should be.Kiara and the rest of these youngpeople grew up in a 97-square-block section of Harlem. Its a place where the odds used to bestacked against them every single day, even just graduating
3、 from high schoolwas a challenge. But with the help ofsome very dedicated adults and a program called the Harlem Childrens Zone,theyre right on track to go to college. Together, students, teachers, administrators, parents, community, theyrechanging the odds in this neighborhood. And thats what were
4、here to talk about today - changing the odds forevery American child so that no matter who they are, no matter where they areborn, they have a chance to succeed in todays economy.Now, the good news is that,thanks to the hard work and sacrifice of the American people all across thecountry over the la
5、st five years, our economy has grown stronger. Our businesses have now created more than 8million new jobs since the depths of the recession. Our manufacturing, our housing sectors arerebounding. Our energy and technologyand auto industries are booming. Wevegot to keep our economy growing. Wevegot t
6、o make sure that everybody is sharing in that growth. Weve got to keep creating jobs, and then wevegot to make sure that wages and benefits are such that families can rebuild alittle bit of security. Weve got tomake sure this recovery, which is real, leaves nobody behind. And thats going to be my fo
7、cus throughoutthe year.This is going to be a year ofaction. Thats what the American peopleexpect, and theyre ready and willing to pitch in and help. This is not just a job for government; thisis a job for everybody.Working people are looking forthe kind of stable, secure jobs that too often went ove
8、rseas in the past coupleof decades. So next week, Ill join companies and colleges and take action toboost high-tech manufacturing - the kind that attracts good new jobs and helpsgrow a middle class. Business owners areready to play their part to hire more workers. So this month, Im going to host CEO
9、s here at the White House not once,but twice: First to lay out specificsteps we can take to help more workers earn the skills that they need for todaysnew jobs; second, theyre going to announce commitments that were making toput more of the long-term unemployed back to work.And on January 28th, in m
10、y Stateof the Union address - which I want all the legislators here to know Im goingto try to keep a little shorter than usual - (laughter) - theyre cheeringsilently - (laughter) - I will mobilize the country around the nationalmission of making sure our economy offers every American who works hard
11、a fairshot at success. Anybody in this countrywho works hard should have a fair shot at success, period. It doesnt matter where they come from, whatregion of the country, what they look like, what their last name is - theyshould be able to succeed.And obviously were coming off ofa rancorous politica
12、l year, but I genuinely believe that this is not a partisanissue. Because when you talk to the American people, you know that there arepeople working in soup kitchens, and people who are mentoring, and people whoare starting small businesses and hiring their neighbors, and very rarely arethey checki
13、ng are they Democrat or Republican. Theres a sense of neighborliness thats inherent in the American people- we just have to tap into that.And Ive been very happy to seethat there are Republicans like Rand Paul, whos here today, who are ready toengage in this debate. Thats a goodthing. Weve got Democ
14、ratic andRepublican elected officials across the country who are ready to roll up theirsleeves and get to work. And this shouldbe a challenge that unites us all.I dont care whether the ideasare Democrat or Republican. I do carethat they work. I do care that they aresubject to evaluation, and we can
15、see if we are using tax dollars in a certainway, if were starting a certain program, I want to make sure that young peoplelike Kiara are actually benefiting from them.Now, its one thing to say weshould help more Americans get ahead, but talk is cheap. Weve got to actually make sure that we doit. And
16、 I will work with anybody whoswilling to lay out some concrete ideas to create jobs, help more middle-classfamilies find security in todays economy, and offer new ladders of opportunityfor folks to climb into the middle class.And, personally, I hope we startby listening to the majority of the American people and restoring theunemployment insurance for Americans who need a little help supporting theirfamilies wh
