This week, we carry on this distinctly American tradition. All across our country, folks are coming together to spend time with family, to catch up with old friends, to cook and enjoy a big dinner – and maybe to watch a little football in between. As always, we give thanks for the kindness of loved ones, for the joys of the previous year, and for the pride we feel in our communities and country. We keep in our thoughts and prayers the many families marking this Thanksgiving with an empty seat – saved for a son or daughter, or husband or wife, stationed in harm’s way. And we say a special thanks for the sacrifices those men and women in uniform are making for our safety and freedom, and for all those Americans who enrich the lives of our communities through acts of kindness, generosity and service. But as much as we all have to be thankful for, we also know that this year millions of Americans are facing very difficult economic times. Many have lost jobs in this recession – the worst in generations. Many more are struggling to afford health care premiums and house payments, let alone to save for an education or retirement. Too many are wondering if the dream of a middle class life – that American Dream – is slipping away. It’s the worry I hear from folks across the country; good, hard-working people doing the best they can for their families – but fearing that their best just isn’t good enough. These are not strangers. They are our family, our friends, and our neighbors. Their struggles must be our concern. That’s why we passed the Recovery Act that cut taxes for 95 percent of working people and for small businesses – and that extended unemployment benefits and health coverage for millions of Americans who lost their jobs in this turmoil. That’s why we are reformi<p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/" >uptakevideo</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Football">Football</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Middle">Middle</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Obama">Obama</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Recovery">Recovery</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Thanksgiving">Thanksgiving</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Turkey">Turkey</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/business">business</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/class">class</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/congress">congress</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/jobs">jobs</a></p> Fri, 27 Nov 2009 02:26:01 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/videos/352/ Football Middle Obama Recovery Thanksgiving Turkey business class congress jobs uptakevideo Thanksgiving Greetings From President Obama http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/videos/351/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/videos/351/" title="Turkey Earns A Pardon From Obama" ><img src="http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_467cb14f_v1.jpg" width="114" height="86" alt="Turkey Earns A Pardon From Obama" border="0" /></a></p> President Obama pardons the White House turkey.

As a young girl raised in Matabeleland -- in the Matabeleland region of Zimbabwe in the early 1980s, Magodonga witnessed the -- I've got to make sure I get this right -- Gukurahundi massacres -- the systematic murder of many thousands of people, including her uncle and several cousins -- many of whom were buried in mass graves that they'd been forced to dig themselves. She witnessed the fearful silence that followed, as talking about these events was forbidden. Magodonga found this to be intolerable. She wanted to speak out -- she wanted people to know the truth about what was happening in her country. So it was a revelation when, years later, she discovered a group called WOZA whose mission is the very opposite of silence. WOZA was started back in 2003 to empower women to speak out about the issues affecting their families and their country -- desperate hunger; crumbling health and education systems; domestic violence and rape; and government repression ranging from restrictions on free expression to abduction and murder of dissidents. WOZA's guiding principle is "tough love" -- the idea that political leaders in Zimbabwe could use a little discipline. And who better to provide that than the nation's mothers? Since its founding, the organization has grown from a handful of activists to a movement of 75,000 strong. There's even a men's branch, I understand -- MOZA. And over the past seven years, they have conducted more than a hundred protests -- maids and hairdressers, vegetable sellers and seamstresses, taking to the streets; singing and dancing; banging on pots empty of food and brandishing brooms to express their wish to sweep the government clean.<p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/" >uptakevideo</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Jenni">Jenni</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Kennedy">Kennedy</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Mahlangu">Mahlangu</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Mogodonga">Mogodonga</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Obama">Obama</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/WOZA">WOZA</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Williams">Williams</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Zimbabwe">Zimbabwe</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/award">award</a></p> Tue, 24 Nov 2009 04:36:02 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/videos/350/ Jenni Kennedy Mahlangu Mogodonga Obama WOZA Williams Zimbabwe award uptakevideo Women Standing Up To Change A Nation http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/videos/349/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/videos/349/" title="Time To Take Responsibility For Math And Science Education" ><img src="http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_f565e545_v1.jpg" width="114" height="86" alt="Time To Take Responsibility For Math And Science Education" border="0" /></a></p> More at <a href="http://www.theuptake.org">http://www.theuptake.org</a> Excerpt of President Obama's speech: he key to meeting these challenges -- to improving our health and well-being, to harnessing clean energy, to protecting our security, and succeeding in the global economy -- will be reaffirming and strengthening America's role as the world's engine of scientific discovery and technological innovation. And that leadership tomorrow depends on how we educate our students today, especially in those fields that hold the promise of producing future innovations and innovators. And that's why education in math and science is so important. Now the hard truth is that for decades we've been losing ground. One assessment shows American 15-year-olds now rank 21st in science and 25th in math when compared to their peers around the world. And this isn't news. We've seen worrying statistics like this for years. Yet, time and again, we've let partisan and petty bickering stand in the way of progress. And time and again, as a nation, we've let our children down. So I'm here and you are here because we all believe that we can't allow division and indifference to imperil our position in the world. It's time for all of us -- in Washington and across America -- to take responsibility for our future. And that's why I'm committed to moving our country from the middle to the top of the pack in science and math education over the next decade. To meet this goal, the Recovery Act included the largest investment in education in history while preventing hundreds of thousands of educators from being fired because of state budget shortfalls. Under the outstanding leadership of Arne Duncan, we've launched a $4 billion Race to the Top fund, one of the largest investments in education reform in history.<p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/" >uptakevideo</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Obama">Obama</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/education">education</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/math">math</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/science">science</a></p> Tue, 24 Nov 2009 02:20:01 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/videos/349/ Obama education math science uptakevideo Time To Take Responsibility For Math And Science Education http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/videos/348/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/videos/348/" title="Boost Exports To China, Gain Thousands Of US Jobs" ><img src="http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_1815c181_v1.jpg" width="114" height="86" alt="Boost Exports To China, Gain Thousands Of US Jobs" border="0" /></a></p> More at <a href="http://www.theuptake.org">http://www.theuptake.org</a> Excerpt of President Obama's remarks "For example, in the export area, I just came back from a trip to Asia in which one of my highest priorities was discussing how we can increase exports into that region.

I’m recording this message from Seoul, South Korea, as I finish up my first presidential trip to Asia. As we emerge from the worst recession in generations, there is nothing more important than to do everything we can to get our economy moving again and put Americans back to work, and I will go anywhere to pursue that goal. That’s one of the main reasons I took this trip. Asia is a region where we now buy more goods and do more trade with than any other place in the world – commerce that supports millions of jobs back home. It’s also a place where the risk of a nuclear arms race threatens our security, and where extremists plan attacks on America’s soil. And since this region includes some of the fastest-growing nations, there can be no solution to the challenge of climate change without the cooperation of the Asia Pacific. With this in mind, I traveled to Asia to open a new era of American engagement. We made progress with China and Russia in sending a unified message to Iran and North Korea that they must live up to their international obligations and either forsake nuclear weapons or face the consequences. As the two largest consumers and producers of energy, we developed a host of new clean energy initiatives with China, and our two nations agreed to work toward a successful outcome at the upcoming climate summit in Copenhagen – an outcome that leads to immediate action to reduce carbon pollution. And I spoke to young men and women at a town hall in Shanghai and across the internet about certain values that we in America believe are universal: the freedom of worship and speech; the right to access information and choose one’s own leaders. But above all, I spoke with leaders in every nation I visited about what we can do to sustain this economic recovery and bring back jobs and prosperity for our people – a task I will continue to focus on relentlessly in the weeks and months ahead. This recession has taught us th<p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/" >uptakevideo</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Arms">Arms</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Asia">Asia</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/China">China</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Japan">Japan</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Korea">Korea</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/North">North</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Nuclear">Nuclear</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Obama">Obama</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Russia">Russia</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/South">South</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/economy">economy</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/jobs">jobs</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/terrorists">terrorists</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/unemployment">unemployment</a></p> Sun, 22 Nov 2009 15:51:00 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/videos/345/ Arms Asia China Japan Korea North Nuclear Obama Russia South economy jobs terrorists unemployment uptakevideo Why Obama Traveled To Asia http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/videos/344/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/videos/344/" title="Obama Rallies US Troops In Korea, details support for military" ><img src="http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_d26acbdc_v1.jpg" width="114" height="86" alt="Obama Rallies US Troops In Korea, details support for military" border="0" /></a></p> President Obama rallies US troops in Korea during his asia trip.

And over 10 percent of all women are now caring for a sick or elderly relative. Our entire lives as women, we are asked to bear much of the responsibility for our family’s health and well-being. And yet, we often face special challenges when it comes to our own health insurance. Part of it has to do with the fact that women are more likely than men to do part-time work or to work in a small business -- in jobs that are less likely to offer the kind of insurance that you really need. In fact, over half of all women in this country don’t have the option of getting insurance through the workplace at all. But even women who do have insurance face inequities under the status quo. Because women make less than 80 cents for every dollar their male coworkers make, it’s more difficult for them to pay their premiums -- especially when studies show that they’re paying far more than men for the same coverage. And I don’t think anyone here will be surprised to learn that a recent study found that one-third of all women have either used up savings, taken on debt, or given up basic necessities just to pay their medical bills. And as many of you know firsthand, these kinds of problems -- the problems of coverage and cost -- only grow worse when you get older, making quality, affordable coverage harder to come by just -- as we’ve seen today and heard today -- just when you need it the most. In the individual market, people in their early 60s are more than twice as likely to be denied coverage than people in their late 30s. Older women are more likely than men to face a chronic illness, but they’re less likely to be able to afford the cost of treating that illness. And in recent years, studies have shown that women over the age of 65 spend about 17 percent of their income on health care.

And not surprisingly, "in a country with 350 million Internet users and 60 million bloggers, do you know of the firewall?" And second, "should we be able to use Twitter freely" -- is the question. PRESIDENT OBAMA: Well, first of all, let me say that I have never used Twitter. I noticed that young people -- they're very busy with all these electronics. My thumbs are too clumsy to type in things on the phone. But I am a big believer in technology and I'm a big believer in openness when it comes to the flow of information. I think that the more freely information flows, the stronger the society becomes, because then citizens of countries around the world can hold their own governments accountable. They can begin to think for themselves. That generates new ideas. It encourages creativity. And so I've always been a strong supporter of open Internet use. I'm a big supporter of non-censorship. This is part of the tradition of the United States that I discussed before, and I recognize that different countries have different traditions. I can tell you that in the United States, the fact that we have free Internet -- or unrestricted Internet access is a source of strength, and I think should be encouraged. Now, I should tell you, I should be honest, as President of the United States, there are times where I wish information didn't flow so freely because then I wouldn't have to listen to people criticizing me all the time. I think people naturally are -- when they're in positions of power sometimes thinks, oh, how could that person say that about me, or that's irresponsible, or -- but the truth is that because in the United States information is free, and I have a lot of critics in the United States who can say all kinds of things about me, I actually think that that makes our democracy stronger and it makes me a better leader because it forces me to hear opinions that I don't want to hear.

Every fall, we set aside a special day to pay tribute to our veterans. But this year, Veteran’s Day took on even greater poignancy and meaning because of the tragic events at Fort Hood. On Tuesday, I traveled there to join with the Fort Hood community, the Army, and the friends and families of the victims to honor thirteen of our fellow Americans who died – and the dozens more who were wounded – not on some distant shore, but on a military base at home. Every man and woman who signs up for military service does so with full knowledge of the dangers that could come – that is part of what makes the service of our troops and veterans so extraordinary. But it’s unthinkable that so many would die in a hail of gunfire on a US Army base in the heart of Texas, and that a fellow service-member could have pulled trigger. There is an ongoing investigation into this terrible tragedy. That investigation will look at the motives of the alleged gunman, including his views and contacts. As I said in Fort Hood, I am confident that justice will be done, and I will insist that the full story be told. That is paramount, and I won’t compromise that investigation today by discussing the details of this case. But given the potential warning signs that may have been known prior these shootings, we must uncover what steps – if any – could have been taken to avert this tragedy. On the Thursday evening that this tragedy took place, I met in the Oval Office with Secretary of Defense Gates, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff – Admiral Mullen, and FBI Director Mueller to review the immediate steps that were necessary to support the families and secure Fort Hood. The next morning, I met with the leadership of our military and the intelligence community, and ordered them to undertake a full review of the sequence of event<p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/" >uptakevideo</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Fort">Fort</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Ft.">Ft.</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Hasan">Hasan</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Hood">Hood</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Major">Major</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Nidal">Nidal</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Obama">Obama</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Shootings">Shootings</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/TX">TX</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Texas">Texas</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Veterans">Veterans</a></p> Sat, 14 Nov 2009 05:49:00 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/videos/340/ Fort Ft.

Before departing for Asia this morning, I’d like to make a brief statement about the economy. Over the past 10 months, we’ve taken a number of bold steps to break the back of this recession. We’ve worked to stabilize the financial system, revive lending to small businesses and families, and prevent responsible homeowners from losing their homes. And through the Recovery Act, we’ve cut taxes for middle class families, extended and increased unemployment insurance, and created and saved more than a million jobs. As a result, the economy is now growing again for the first time in more than a year -- and faster than at any time in the past two years. But even though we’ve slowed the loss of jobs -- and today’s report on the continued decline in unemployment claims is a hopeful sign -- the economic growth that we’ve seen has not yet led to the job growth that we desperately need. As I’ve said from the start of this crisis, hiring often takes time to catch up to economic growth. And given the magnitude of the economic turmoil that we’ve experienced, employers are reluctant to hire. Small businesses and large firms are demanding more of their employees, their increasing their hours, and adding temporary workers -- but these companies have not yet been willing to take the steps necessary to hire again. Meanwhile, millions of Americans -- our friends, our neighbors, our family members -- are desperately searching for jobs. This is one of the great challenges that remains in our economy -- a challenge that my administration is absolutely determined to meet. We all know that there are limits to what government can and should do, even during such difficult times. But we have an obligation to consider every additional, responsible step that we can [take] to encourage and accelerate job creation in this country. And that’s why, in December, we’ll be holding a forum at the White House on jobs and <p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/" >uptakevideo</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Economic">Economic</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Economy">Economy</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Growth">Growth</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Jobs">Jobs</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Obama">Obama</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Unemployment">Unemployment</a></p> Fri, 13 Nov 2009 02:30:00 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/videos/337/ Economic Economy Growth Jobs Obama Unemployment uptakevideo CEOs To Meet With Obama On Job Creation http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/videos/338/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/videos/338/" title="Energy, Climate Change On President's Asian Agenda" ><img src="http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_808fbe61_v1.jpg" width="114" height="86" alt="Energy, Climate Change On President's Asian Agenda" border="0" /></a></p> Ben Rhodes, Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications, previews President Obama's first trip to Asia since taking office.<p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/" >uptakevideo</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Alaska">Alaska</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Asia">Asia</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Ben">Ben</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/China">China</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Japan">Japan</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Obama">Obama</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Rhodes">Rhodes</a></p> Fri, 13 Nov 2009 02:25:01 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/videos/338/ Alaska Asia Ben China Japan Obama Rhodes uptakevideo Energy, Climate Change On President's Asian Agenda http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/videos/336/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/videos/336/" title="Commander-In-Chief Thanks Veterans" ><img src="http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_2d77349c_v1.jpg" width="114" height="86" alt="Commander-In-Chief Thanks Veterans" border="0" /></a></p> President Obama observes Veterans Day at Arlington National Cemetery and says the Nation owes a great debt to those who chose to pursue a higher cause by serving their country.<p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/" >uptakevideo</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Arlington">Arlington</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Biden">Biden</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Cemetery">Cemetery</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Day">Day</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Memorial">Memorial</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/National">National</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Obama">Obama</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/Veterans">Veterans</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/tags/War">War</a></p> Thu, 12 Nov 2009 04:28:00 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/uptakevideo/videos/336/ Arlington Biden Cemetery Day Memorial National Obama Veterans War uptakevideo Commander-In-Chief Thanks Veterans
