[ti:11-23 Weekly Address - Working with Both Parties to Keep the Economy Moving Forward]
[ar:]
[by:www.pronounceword.com]
[00:00.66]Hi, everybody.  
[00:02.50]Over the past couple months, most of the political headlines you’ve read have probably been about the government shutdown 
[00:07.64]and the launch of the Affordable Care Act.  
[00:10.35]And I know that many of you have rightly never been more frustrated with Washington.
[00:14.77]But if you look beyond those headlines, 
[00:17.58]there are some good things happening in our economy.  
[00:20.17]And that’s been my top priority since the day I walked into the Oval Office.
[00:24.39]After decades in which the middle class was working harder and harder just to keep up, 
[00:28.52]and a punishing recession that made it worse, 
[00:31.23]we made the tough choices required not just to recover from crisis, 
[00:34.97]but to rebuild on a new foundation for stronger, 
[00:38.60]more durable economic growth.
[00:40.36]Five years later, 
[00:41.67]we have fought our way back.  
[00:43.48]Our businesses have created 7.8 million new jobs in the past 44 months.  
[00:48.63]Another 200,000 Americans went back to work last month.
[00:52.79]The American auto industry has come roaring back with more than 350,000 new jobs 
[00:57.67]C jobs churning out and selling the high-tech, fuel-efficient cars the world wants to buy. 
[01:03.48]And they’re leading the charge in a manufacturing sector that has added jobs for the first time since the 1990s 
[01:09.85]C a big reason why our businesses 
[01:11.88]sell more goods and services “Made in America” 
[01:14.54]than ever before.
[01:16.31]We decided to reverse our addiction to foreign oil.  
[01:18.78]And today, we generate more renewable energy than ever, 
[01:22.31]more natural gas than anybody, 
[01:24.48]and for the first time in nearly 20 years, 
[01:26.71]America now produces more oil than we buy from other countries.
[01:32.26]We decided to fix a broken health care system.  
[01:34.94]And even though the rollout of the marketplace where you can buy affordable plans has been rough, 
[01:39.31]so far, about 500,000 Americans are poised to gain 
[01:42.63]health coverage starting January 1st.  
[01:45.84]And by the way, health care costs are growing at the slowest rate in 50 years.
[01:51.23]And one more thing: 
[01:52.79]since I took office, we’ve cut our deficits by more than half.  
[01:56.64]And that makes it easier to invest in the things that create jobs 
[02:00.38]C education, research, and infrastructure.
[02:04.33]Imagine how much farther along we could be if both parties were working together.  
[02:09.20]Think about what we could do if a reckless few didn’t hold the economy hostage every few months, 
[02:13.93]or waste time on dozens of votes to repeal the Affordable Care Act rather than try to help us fix it.
[02:20.15]In the weeks ahead, I’ll keep talking about my plan to build a better bargain for the middle class.  
[02:25.35]Good jobs.  
[02:26.31]A good education.  
[02:27.53]A chance to buy a home, save, and retire.  
[02:31.30]And yes, the financial security of affordable health care.  
[02:34.55]And I’ll look for any willing partners who want to help.
[02:38.90]Because of your hard work and tough sacrifices over the past five years, 
[02:41.77]we’re pointed in the right direction.  
[02:43.52]But we’ve got more work to do to keep moving that way.  
[02:47.60]And as long as I’m President, I’ll keep doing everything I can to create jobs, 
[02:50.92]grow the economy, 
[02:52.20]and make sure that everyone who works hard has a chance to get ahead.  
[02:57.30]Thanks, and have a great weekend.
