主旨: I went to community college (now I work at the White House):

 

I spent more than half of 2005 in Iraq.

I was four years into my service in the Marine Corps, and as is the case with most of our young enlisted military members, I had enormous responsibilities for a twenty-two year-old. Grateful for the opportunity to serve, and thankful for the experiences the Marine Corps gave to me, I left active duty in 2006, excited at the prospect of new cities, new jobs, and the chance to go to college.

The Marine Corps gave me excellent job skills, world-class leadership training, and a ton of willpower and ambition. Still, academia was somewhat intimidating. Trading a base for a campus, and military leaders for professors felt like a huge step. To make the transition a bit easier I moved back to my home state of Florida, and found Valencia Community College -- where I was able to use my GI Bill education benefits to attend for free.

I found diverse classrooms full of people with varying backgrounds and experiences -- from kids straight out of high school to seasoned professionals pursuing a career change. I fit right in. Community colleges were made for people like me; they're designed to take persons from all walks of life and help them embark on their next adventure. People like Dr. Brooks and Professor Zuromski made me love learning and sparked a hunger for knowledge I didn’t know I had.

More Americans should have this opportunity. Today, the President is announcing a campaign called “Heads Up,” and the idea is simple: Let’s make two years of community college free for anyone willing to work for it.

Watch the President announce it -- and ask Americans to join the movement.

At Valencia, I wasn’t just in the classroom -- I was leading fellow students in groups like Model UN, where I studied diplomacy and foreign affairs. I was an editor for The Phoenix, Valencia’s annual literary magazine, where I honed my writing skills and learned the value of creative expression. While I was there I also earned my place in the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society. It was all a valuable part of my academic, personal, and professional growth.

Valencia Community College also prepared me to tackle classes at one of America’s oldest and most rigorous academic institutions -- Columbia University, where I finished my undergraduate degree. I majored in philosophy, a discipline I wasn’t exposed to until I took Professor Wallman’s amazing Intro to Philosophy class at Valencia. Not only did community college make Columbia possible for me, it gave me the tools to experience it to its fullest measure.

Today I work at The White House as an Associate Director in the Office of Public Engagement. I have the privilege of being the President’s liaison to military service members, veterans, and their families. I can’t express in one message how grateful I am to have been given this opportunity, and how fulfilling it is to work with, and for, a group as deserving as they are.

It’s hard for me to fully grasp the incredible things that have happened in my life in the eight years since I first stepped foot on a community college campus, but I feel confident that taking that step made it all possible.

More people should have that chance. That’s what the President thinks, and I agree.

Watch him launch a new campaign to make community college free for anyone willing to work for it, and call on Americans to join the movement.

Up until now I’ve shared my story with a largely military and veteran audience, encouraging those with the ambition to take advantage of their education benefits because you never know where it’s going to lead. I’m sharing my story with you now because we have the chance to make sure that everyone has the opportunity I did. We should do what we can to ensure everyone in America who wishes, has the chance to go to community college for free.

Thanks for listening.

Sincerely,

Ryan Robinson
Associate Director of Public Affairs
The White House

主旨: What We're Doing for the Next Few Days:

 

 

Here's something a lot of people don't realize:

Just five years before we moved into the White House, Michelle and I were still paying off our student loans.

Which means that, as a student, I knew how it felt both to dream of a fine education and to worry about paying for it. Decades later, as President, I know that our country can't afford for talented young Americans to miss out on a higher education.

College is one of the most important investments students can make in their future. It's also one of the most important investments our country can make in our workforce -- as every one of us is acutely aware, equipping Americans with the knowledge and skills they need to compete and win in our global economy will continue to be the key to our resurgence.

That's why we're continuing to work to make the dream of college real for more of America's students.

And we're making progress. We've increased investments in college scholarships like Pell Grants and the American Opportunity Tax Credit. We're making student loans more affordable by cutting interest rates and capping payments at 10 percent of income. We're promoting competition and innovation to bring costs down for students and their families.

I’m proud of that progress. But our bright young people considering college need to hear from each other, too. And so, as everyone heads back to school over the next several days, you'll be hearing from your fellow Americans -- at various stages in their own educations -- about what's worked for them. They'll share their own advice with you, and your kids.

Meanwhile, senior officials from across the Administration will be hitting the road to discuss our plans to create more affordable, quality choices for students -- such as community colleges and apprenticeships -- and to give students the time and information they need to make good choices.

Tomorrow, I'll travel with my favorite community college professor -- Dr. Jill Biden -- to Macomb County Community College, where I first laid out my community college plan six years ago. While in Michigan, I'll make an announcement about apprenticeships, a crucial tool we're using to rebuild an American workforce that is the envy of the world. And I'll talk about the progress around the country in making community college free, and what more we need to do to make it available for more students.

Next Monday, I'll meet up with Secretary Duncan -- who will be traveling the country in a bus all week long -- at a high school in Des Moines, Iowa where I'm looking forward to having a conversation with juniors and seniors gearing up for college as well as with their parents who, in many cases, are trying to figure out how to pay for it. And on Thursday, September 17th, as part of her Reach Higher initiative, Michelle will head to a local community college to check out their career and technical programs.

You'll be able to follow along with all of it right here.

The students I hear from every day remind me that if we can come together around the idea that every American -- no matter where they grew up, or how much money their parents have -- deserves a quality education and a shot at success, then we can build a future as remarkable as our past.

Stay tuned -- you'll be hearing from us (and one another) again soon.

President Barack Obama

白宮，華盛頓

 

這裡的東西有很多人沒有意識到：

就在五年前，我們搬進了白宮，米歇爾和我仍然付出了我們的助學貸款。

這意味著，作為一名學生，我就知道它是如何既感到夢想罰款教育，並擔心為它付出。幾十年後，作為總統，我知道，我們的國家無法承受天賦的年輕美國人錯過了一個更高的教育。

大學是最重要的投資，學生可以在自己的未來做出之一。這也是最重要的投資，我們的國家可以在我們的人才，使之一 - 因為我們每個人敏銳地意識到，裝備的美國人，他們需要競爭，並贏得我們的全球經濟將繼續成為關鍵的知識和技能我們的死灰復燃。

這就是為什麼我們將繼續努力，使大學真正的夢想更多的美國學生。

我們正在取得進展。我們已經增加了上大學的獎學金像佩爾助學金和美國機會稅收抵免的投資。我們正在做學生貸款減息，並加蓋在支付收入的10％以上的價格實惠。我們正在促進競爭和創新，把成本降下來，讓學生和他們的家庭。

我為此進展感到自豪。但是我們聰明的年輕人考慮的大學需要互相聽到了。所以，大家都頭回到學校，在未來的幾天裡，你會聽到從你的同胞們 - 在不同階段自己的教育 - 關於什麼是為他們工作。他們將分享自己的意見和你在一起，和你的孩子。

同時，來自全國各地的政府高級官員將上路，討論我們的計劃，以創造更多的價格實惠，質量的選擇，為學生 - 如社區學院和學徒 - 並給學生，他們需要做出正確的選擇的時間和信息。

吉爾·拜登博士 - - 以馬科姆縣社區學院，在那裡我第一次奠定了我的社區學院計劃在六年前明天，我將用我最喜愛的社區大學教授遊。而在密歇根州，我會做出學徒公佈，我們使用的是重建美國的勞動力是世界羨慕的一個重要工具。我會談談全國各地在使社區學院免費的進步，還有什麼，我們需要做的，使其可用於更多的學生。

下週一，我會遇到了鄧肯部長 - 誰將會被所有的為期一周的在全國范圍內的公交車 - 在得梅因，愛荷華州的一所高中，其中我期待著與大三和大四學生的談話摩拳擦掌的大學，以及與他們的父母是誰，在許多情況下，正試圖找出如何為它付出。而在週四，9月17日，她達到更高的計劃的一部分，米歇爾將前往一個當地的社區學院，以檢查他們的職業和技術方案。

您將能夠與所有的一切跟著就在這裡。

我每天從聽到同學提醒我，如果我們能走到一起的理念是每一個美國人 - 無論身在何處，他們長大了，還是多少錢他們的父母 - 值得素質教育和射門成功，然後我們可以建立一個未來都跟我們的過去。

敬請期待 - 你會從我們這裡（和相互）很快再次聽到。

美國總統奧巴馬

主旨: The lessons we should learn from the Iraq war:

 

This week, critics of the Iran deal -- including Former Vice President Dick Cheney -- are gathering in Washington.

It's a safe bet that they will call for abandoning our diplomatic deal with Iran and the world, and call for a dangerously simplistic vision of American "leadership" based on unilateral action that would ultimately leave us with a choice between accepting a nuclear Iran or using military force.

This is no abstract debate. Those, like me, who have served, understand all too well the sacrifice that is required when diplomacy is abandoned. I have spent much of my adult life attempting to redeem the aftermath of a deeply unnecessary and misguided war in Iraq in the name of non-proliferation. Having served in Iraq myself as an Army officer, and then worked with Iraqi refugee families facing desperate circumstances in Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan, I believe we must ask a simple question of anyone wishing to be taken seriously on matters of national security today: What have you learned from the Iraq war?

Some, it is clear, have learned disturbingly little. You can see what I mean here.

Some of the same people who supported premature military action in Iraq, based on faulty intelligence, remain eager to reject tough diplomacy now. Remarkably, many of them have made clear that they reject the very idea of negotiating with Iran at all.

We must remember how radical that view truly is.

Presidents from Eisenhower to Nixon to Kennedy, from Reagan to Bush Sr., knew that sometimes, facing our adversaries across the negotiating table is a better way to advance our interests, promote our values, and improve our security than rushing to face them on the battlefield. They understood that tough, principled diplomacy is a hallmark of our strength -- and that exhausting diplomatic options before asking our men and women in uniform to confront the awful face of battle is a basic responsibility of leadership.

Embracing the use of force as a first option, while rejecting the very idea of tough negotiations with dangerous countries, is a departure from our nation's best strategic traditions and most essential moral values. The costs of that departure have been great, and remain with us to this day. We who have spent our lives since 9/11 on the front lines of a dangerous world have learned from our shared experience that America can -- and must -- do better, and be smarter.

Using tough, principled diplomacy, backed by strength, to reduce the threat posed by our enemies is one of America's greatest bipartisan traditions.

You can learn more about how the Iran deal reflects that tradition and how it will work here: www.whitehouse.gov/iran-deal

This deal with Iran reflects the painful lessons of our recent past, and represents a higher form of renewed American leadership. America rallied support for sanctions around the world, forced Iran to the table, and delivered a tough deal based on verification -- not trust. If Iran abides by the terms, that leadership will have improved our security and safeguarded our allies without putting American lives at risk. If Iran cheats, or threatens our security in other ways, we will be watching – with every tool of our national power remaining at our disposal, much better intelligence, and the world committed to standing with us in our response.

We must remember our essential goal: To prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. This deal accomplishes that goal.

And if Iran does choose conflict, there is nothing in this deal that gives away the power and resolve of our military, or our commitment to defend our nation and our allies. Make no mistake. The men and women I was once privileged to serve alongside will fight and win on any battlefield our elected civilian leaders may choose. That is their responsibility. Ours is to learn from painful experience, and choose with wisdom worthy of their service.

The radical worldview that led to the Iraq War belongs to the past. Our generation has charted a new course for the future. Embracing tough, principled diplomacy as a first resort is the best way forward for our nation and the world.

Thanks for listening,

Mike
