Presidential Weekly Address 11 13 2010

Remarks of President Barack Obama
Weekly Address
November 13, 2010
This weekend, I’m concluding a trip to Asia whose purpose was to open new markets for
American products in this fast-growing part of the world. The economic battle for these markets
is fierce, and we’re up against strong competitors. But as I’ve said many times, America doesn’t
play for second place. The future we’re fighting for isn’t as the world’s largest importer,
consuming products made elsewhere, but as the world’s largest manufacturer of ideas and goods
sold around the world.

Opening new markets will not only help America’s businesses create new jobs for American
workers. It will also help us reduce our deficits – because the single greatest tool for getting our
fiscal house in order is robust economic growth. That kind of growth will require ensuring that
our students are getting the best education possible; that we’re on the cutting edge of research
and development; and that we’re rebuilding our roads and railways, runways and ports – so our
infrastructure is up to the challenges of the 21st century.

Given the deficits that have mounted up over the past decade, we can’t afford to make these
investments unless we’re also willing to cut what we don’t need. That’s why I’ve submitted to
Congress a plan for a three-year budget freeze, and I’m prepared to offer additional savings. But
as we work to reform our budget, Congress should also put some skin in the game. I agree with
those Republican and Democratic members of Congress who’ve recently said that in these
challenging days, we can’t afford what are called earmarks. These are items inserted into
spending bills by members of Congress without adequate review.

Now, some of these earmarks support worthy projects in our local communities. But many others
do not. We can’t afford Bridges to Nowhere like the one that was planned a few years back in
Alaska. Earmarks like these represent a relatively small part of overall federal spending. But
when it comes to signaling our commitment to fiscal responsibility, addressing them would have
an important impact.

As a Senator, I helped eliminate anonymous earmarks and created new measures of transparency
so Americans can better follow how their tax dollars are being spent. As President, time and
again, I’ve called for new limitations on earmarks. We’ve reduced the cost of earmarks by over
$3 billion. And we’ve put in place higher standards of transparency by putting as much
information as possible on earmarks.gov. In fact, this week, we updated the site with more
information about where last year’s earmarks were actually spent, and made it easier to look up
Members of Congress and the earmarks they fought for.

Today, we have a chance to go further. We have a chance to not only shine a light on a bad
Washington habit that wastes billions of taxpayer dollars, but take a step towards restoring public
trust. We have a chance to advance the interests not of Republicans or Democrats, but of the
American people; to put our country on the path of fiscal discipline and responsibility that will
lead to a brighter economic future for all. And that’s a future I hope we can reach across party
lines to build together.

Thanks everybody, and have a great weekend.

Below the niveau of the polis there was in every polis a network of subdivisions of the area or portion of space: an area, position, or portion of
citizen body. Especially in the larger poleis the citizens were divided into smaller space that somebody or something can occupy
units, some territorial, others based on personal relationships.62 The territorial ones
were often communes (demoi)63 or villages (komai)’64 the ones based on personal
ties were tribes (phylai),65 brotherhoods (phratriai),66 or clans (gene), and so on.  This is a good place to plant the sapling.

The study of history generally deals in absolute dates, in which events are
linked with concrete years and follow a specific chronology. Such
methodology is more problematic when discussing ancient history,
however, given the absence of precise dating systems. Ancient Egyptians
used a chronology of rulers when referencing time periods, referring to
events as happening in the reign of a particular king rather than in a
particular year or range of years. Egyptologists have attempted to marry
this rather vague dating system with actual ranges of years, but there is
much disagreement regarding the exact dates of rulers’ reigns or the
length of certain periods of history.
I agree with those Republican and Democratic members of Congress who’ve recently said that
in these challenging days, we can’t afford what are called earmarks.
On one point — and that is for our purpose the most important one — the advocates of
both hypotheses have approached each other. The leaders of the defenders of the Asiatic
hypothesis have ceased to regard Asia as the cradle of all the dialects into which the
ancient Aryan tongue has been divided. While they cling to the theory that the Aryan
inhabitants of Europe have immigrated from Asia, they have well — nigh entirely ceased
to claim that these peoples, already before their departure from their Eastern home, were so
distinctly divided linguistically that it was necessary to imagine certain branches of the
race speaking Celtic, others Teutonic, others again Greco-Italian, even before they came to
Europe.
These are items inserted into spending bills by members of Congress without adequate review.

"A fire-breathing dragon lives in my garage" Suppose (I'm following a group therapy approach by the
psychologist Richard Franklin) I seriously make such an assertion to you. Surely you'd want to check it out, see
for yourself. There have been innumerable stories of dragons over the centuries, but no real evidence.
What an opportunity! "Show me," you say. I lead you to my garage. You look inside and see a ladder, empty paint
cans, an old tricycle — but no dragon. "Where's the dragon?" you ask. "Oh, she's right here," I reply, waving
vaguely. "I neglected to mention that she's an invisible dragon."
EVER since men have reasoned, the philosophers have obscured
this matter: but the theologians have rendered it unintelligible by
absurd subtleties about grace. Locke is perhaps the first man to
find a thread in this labyrinth; for he is the first who, without
having the arrogance of trusting in setting out from a general
principle, examined human nature by analysis. For three

free. In the "Essay on the Human Understanding," chapter on
"Power," Locke shows first of all that the question is absurd, and
that liberty can no more belong to the will than can colour and

Tolstoy’s great novel War and Peace offers a famous statement
of the case.Why, Tolstoy asked, did millions of men in the
Napoleonic Wars, denying their human feelings and their
common sense, move back and forth across Europe
slaughtering their fellows? “The war,” Tolstoy answered, “was

bound to happen simply because it was bound to happen.” All
prior history determined it. As for leaders, they, Tolstoy said,
“are but the labels that serve to give a name to an end and, like
labels, they have the least possible connection with the event.”
The greater the leader, “the more conspicuous the inevitability
and the predestination of every act he commits.” The leader, said
Tolstoy, is “the slave of history.”

mamzer may not enter, but a doubtful mamzer may; only into a certain assembly
may he not enter, but he may enter into a doubtful one. Why then did they [the
Rabbis] rule that a foundling is unfit? Lest he marry his paternal sister.27 If so, one
foundling should not marry another, lest he marry his sister by his father or and his
mother? — Do all these go throwing [their children away]!28 Let him not marry the
daughter of a foundling, lest he marry his sister? But [you must answer that] it is

What fascinates us about Satan is the way he expresses qualities that go beyond what
we ordinarily recognize as human. Satan evokes more than the greed, envy, lust, and
anger we identify with our own worst impulses, and more than what we call brutality,
which imputes to human beings a resemblance to animals (“brutes”). Thousands of
years of tradition have characterized Satan instead as a spirit. Originally he was one of
God's angels, but a fallen one. Now he stands in open rebellion against God, and in
his frustrated rage he mirrors aspects of our own confrontations with otherness. Many
people have claimed to see him embodied at certain times in individuals and groups
that seem possessed by an intense spiritual passion, one that
engages even our better qualities, like strength, intelligence, and
devotion, but turns them toward destruction and takes pleasure in inflicting harm.
Earmarks like these represent a relatively small part of overall federal spending.

The will, therefore, is not a faculty that one can call free. A free will is
an expression absolutely void of sense, and what the scholastics have
called will of indifference, that is to say willing without cause, is a
chimera unworthy of being combated. Where will be liberty then? in
the power to do what one wills. I wish to leave my study, the door is
open, I am free to leave it.
But when it comes to signaling our commitment to fiscal responsibility, addressing them would
have an important impact.
The liberty about which so many volumes have been written is,
therefore, reduced to its accurate terms, only the power of acting.
In what sense then must one utter the phrase-" Man is free "? in the
same sense that one utters the words, health, strength, happiness.
Man is not always strong, always healthy, always happy.

A great passion, a great obstacle, deprive him of his liberty, his
power of action. The word "liberty," "free-will," is therefore an
abstract word, a general word, like beauty, goodness, justice. These
terms do not state that all men are always beautiful, good and just;
similarly, they are not always free [unless they really want to break
the bonds of what they define as slavery].

In an ironic inversion that highlights his unfitness to be a Roman leader, his sexual conquests are
described in military terms:41 his scars are from sex rather than from wars,42 and his camps are set
up for lust rather than battle (5.11). He indulges in banquets with women (muliebria . . . convivia)
and has sex with married women (5.31). Such association with, not to say domination by, women
stereotypes Verres as effeminate. In Roman culture, the figure of the tyrant was not seen as
‘hypermasculine’ in his dominance over others; rather tyranny is seen as a dominance that
manifests a kind of weakness, an inability to control oneself that lays one vulnerable to all
kinds of forces of desire.

We have a chance to advance the interests not of Republicans or Democrats, but of the
American people; to put our country on the path of fiscal discipline and responsibility that will
lead to a brighter economic future for all. And that’s a future I hope we can reach across party
lines to build together.

the far distance the dust trails raised by the approach of the Tenth Legion,

several thousand captured Jewish rebels the Romans had enslaved, there
could not have been any doubt: this would be a

We’ve reduced the cost of earmarks by over $3 billion. And we’ve put in place higher standards of
transparency by putting as much information as possible on earmarks.gov.
In fact, this week, we updated the site with more information about where last year’s earmarks were
actually spent, and made it easier to look up Members of Congress and the earmarks they fought for.
Similarly, when Congress first passed the Federal Insecticide,

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act in 1947, the regulation of such
products was almost exclusively a concern of those industries and
the agricultural community. By the time that the law had come up
for renewal 25 years later, however, the definition of pesticide
use had shifted significantly, changing from an agricultural to an
environmental issue. One major result of this transformation was
that an entirely new set of political actors now became part of the
policy debate.18

Today, we have a chance to go further. We have a chance to not only shine a light on a bad Washington
habit that wastes billions of taxpayer dollars, but take a step towards restoring public trust.
We have a chance to advance the interests not of Republicans or Democrats, but of the American
people; to put our country on the path of fiscal discipline and responsibility that will lead to a brighter
economic future for all.

Soviet and western diplomats worked constructively together in the newly

created United Nations organisation. At the Paris peace conference in 1946,
peace treaties with the former enemy states of Bulgaria, Finland, Hungary,
Italy and Romania were successfully negotiated. This was also a time of allied
co-operation at the Nuremberg trials of Nazi war criminals and of continuing
hopes that it would be possible to devise and implement a common
programme for the denazification, demilitarisation and democratisation of
occupied Germany.
And that’s a future I hope we can reach across party lines to build together.

is fierce, and we’re up against strong competitors.
But as I’ve said many times, America doesn’t play for second place.
The privilege of immunity (freedom from arrest) while going to and
from congressional business has little importance today. Members of
Congress, like anyone else, may be arrested
for breaking the law. They may be tried, convicted, and sent to
prison. Congressional immunity from charges of libel and slander
remains important. Libel is an untrue written statement that damages
a person’s reputation. Slander is a spoken statement that does so.
Immunity under the speech and debate clause means that members
of Congress may say whatever they wish in connection with
congressional business without fear of being sued. This immunity
extends to anything said by members during debate, in an official
report,

skin in the game.
The Earth’s atmosphere both absorbs and emits light. Beyond the blue end of the visible spectrum,
the presence of ozone ensures that little ultraviolet light reaches the ground. Towards the red end and beyond, into what
astronomers call the near-infrared spectrum, there is considerable absorption by water vapour and molecular oxygen
but also, the sky is brightened by intense emission from the OH radical (an unstable molecule consisting of an oxygen
and a hydrogen atom). The visible spectrum alone remains reasonably free from these effects. The entire spectral range
from ultraviolet through the near-infrared remains cleanly accessible to Hubble.
I agree with those Republican and Democratic members of Congress who’ve recently said that in
these challenging days, we can’t afford what are called earmarks.
Diplomatically the Communists negotiated an agreement, now publicly available, between
Stalin, Mao and Kim under which the invasion would start — China would enter and Russia
would provide air cover. Their air cover, incidentally, led to almost the only time that
American and Russian military men exchanged shots in the whole of history. After the start of
the war, the Russians provided aircraft and training to air forces for both China and North
Korea, and when their air forces were adequate for the rather minor operations intermittently
carried out south of the Yalu, the Russian air force, which had been badly shot up, withdrew.
All three of these Communist air forces operated out of airfields in Manchuria, which we did
not bomb. Indeed, we prevented the ROK from having an air force until well after the
armistice.

Earmarks like these represent a relatively small part of overall federal spending. But when it
comes to signaling our commitment to fiscal responsibility, addressing them would have an
important impact.

As a Senator, I helped eliminate anonymous earmarks and created new measures of transparency
so Americans can better follow how their tax dollars are being spent. As President, time and
again, I’ve called for new limitations on earmarks.
Some Messier objects are particularly popular with amateurs,

available. It’s virtually impossible

Drawings differ from photographs in a number of ways. For one, the eye
can not accumulate light over a long time, as a photographic emulsion or
chip can. Furthermore, the visual response to a large
brightness range is much more logarithmic than the photographic response.

And fi nally, the spectral response of the eye also differs from that of
photographic emulsions or chips. With emission nebulae, in particular,
visual and photographic views emphasize different features.

Today, we [once again] have a chance to go further. We have a chance to not only shine a light
on a bad Washington habit that wastes billions of taxpayer dollars, but take a step towards
restoring public trust [and keep the very best of moments in our hearts]. We have a chance to
advance the interests not of Republicans or Democrats, but of [all] the American people; to put
our country on the [Elevating] path of fiscal discipline and responsibility that will lead to a
brighter economic future for all [and the pursuit of happiness]. And that’s a future [and a reason]
