The other side of those stories are the memories, traditions and beliefs of the descendents of the lynching parties and the picnic-goers who came out in crowds to see the lynching spectacle.  This is a part of America’s legacy that is dangerous to forget because the tribal motivation to destroy nonmembers is still with us, and it is only a matter of points on a continuum between racism and tribal behavior,  between “I don’t like black people” and “Let’s string him up.”  
What is foreboding about the politics we’re seeing today is that it’s tribal behavior that is being summoned with what are called “dog whistles”  and “buzzwords” of the current campaign.   These descendents of the lynchers are the people the “dog whistles” are for.  When candidate Mitt Romney says, “I’m not concerned about the very poor,” as he did recently on CNN, he is speaking to the heirs of those who went back to their Christian churches, state fairs and neat houses, and instilled in their youngsters the American values that allowed them to fully love Jesus and freely lynch African-Americans. 
Let this list be a warning as to what the “buzz words” are for.  They are for the evil we saw loosed on the Jews on Krystallnacht, when the storm troopers came and on this continent with the slaughtering of the indigenous people and the enslaving of Africans to stretch this nation from the Atlantic to the Pacific. 
The names of the African-Americans who were lynched and killed that we publish in this issue are only the tip of an iceberg of terror that was life in the hundred years after slavery.  It is only one record.  There are others.  The record of white men wantonly raping African women during and after slavery can  be seen in the browning of millions of black Africans and the creation of the wide-ranging hues we see in African-Americans today.  There are others.   Author Michelle Alexander writes of the New Jim Crow, a criminal justice system that is designed to capture and destroy the lives of black men and women.
For African-Americans, this list is a reminder of what we’ve gone through and a glimpse of the causes of the fog of post-traumatic racial stress we are enveloped in every day.  
The Occupy Movement, like the Abolitionists during slavery, are on the other side of the scale.   But instead of the chattel slavery of Africans, their concern is an economic system that is a new and more universal form of slavery where individuals are bound to financial institutions by shackles of debt. 
Like the opposition to chattel slavery, opposing debt slavery is a dangerous thing to do, particularly now that there are signed documents allowing the imprisoning of U.S. citizens stateside and holding them indefinitely without trial.   If this administration were to change, do not think for a moment that this power would not be used. 
When we see the pepper spraying of peaceful protesters, hear of U.S. Marines rolling grenades into residential homes in Iraq, killing peaceful people as a matter of course,  the torturing at Abu Gharaib, the virulent threats against the president and his family, the attack on voting rights, the way prison, criminal justice and nonprofit industries are based on African-Americans as fodder, white supremacist groups, Tea Party literature with President Obama pictured as a monkey, Tea Party cartoons of the president with a bullet in his head, jokes about the president and his “monkey” children.  No one should forget that these are very dangerous people who are being called to with “buzzwords” and “dog whistles.” They are not just racist hoots, they are tribal calls that summon an energy so ugly at its core that it cannot be hidden by suits and Bibles and a stage full of children. 
Let this list also be a reminder to those who believe the “post-racial” talk and insist economics is everything.  It is not. The men and women listed here were not killed because they were poor; indeed, some were killed because they were relatively rich.  They died because of tribal urges that are tenuously held in check today.  We must remain vigilant against them and we must never forget what they are like unleashed.
And finally, this African-American History Month, let us remember that each name had a constellation of families and friends who loved them deeply and who were stricken by the loss.  And even in their mourning, had to live with the question of “who’s next?” in the air every day. 
As you look at these pages and stop on a namesake or familiar place, know that we are connected to all on the list, and that their cries of pain that were met with howls of laughter, can still be heard and will not be forgotten.  David Mark Greaves

“…This inventory is necessarily incomplete. Records are scant. Newspaper reports are scattered. The Tuskegee Institute Lynching Inventory began in 1882 — just before the great surge of lynchings that occurred around the turn of the century — a surge that accompanied the American conquest of the Philippines, defeating the colored fighters of the Philippine War of Independence, called by Anglo-American historians “The Philippine Insurrection.”
This inventory is offered in the spirit of healing and reconciliation, for until the wounds of the Lynching Century are healed there is little chance of reducing the ever so pervasive racism in the United States, as Ida B. Wells put it: The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.
Americans have a long way to go to see full realization of the promises of the Pledge of Allegiance, to see America as a land with Liberty and Justice for All instead of liberty and justice for the white Anglo-Saxon economic elite.
This site is dedicated to all the men, women and children that suffered these atrocities. May they never be forgotten.” (The Lynching Calendar http://www.autopsis.org/foot/lynch.html)

Murdoch snags another top education employeeCity Schools Chancellor Dennis M. Walcott announced this week that Department of Education Communications Director Natalie Ravitz is leaving to become Chief of Staff to Rupert Murdoch, the Chairman and CEO of News Corporation.
The move follows former Chancellor Joel Klein, who left over a year ago to work for Murdoch’s education initiative. Klein’s initial replacement Cathy Black, used to also work for Murdoch.
Murdoch currently owns Wireless Generation, which has millions of dollars of no-bid contracts with the Department of Education. Wireless Generation is also seeking contacts with the New York State Department of Education.
Murdoch’s other holdings include the New York Post, Fox News and the Community Newspaper Group, which has a chain of newspapers in select neighborhoods of Brooklyn.
“Natalie has been an integral part of my cabinet and close confidante since I took over as Chancellor, and I want to thank her for her sharp insight, strategic vision, and commitment to advancing our education agenda,” Chancellor Walcott said. “We will miss her, but wish her nothing but the best as she begins this exciting new journey.”

City hires more social services workersThe city’s Human Resources Administration (HRA) announced this week they will hire more than 200 additional workers to handle a spike in the number of poor flocking to its centers for benefits.
The announcement comes after Our Time Press broke the story about the long lines of people standing in front of the jobs center office on DeKalb Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant after the fire department closed it down for overcrowding.
The story was later picked up by several news outlets.
“The alleviation of crowding at our office is a high priority,” HRA Deputy Commissioner Patricia Smith testified at a City Council hearing.
About 1.8 million city residents now receive food stamps, up more than 700,000 from four years ago, according to published reports.
The agency also plans on adding 49 food stamp eligibility workers and 50 job opportunity specialists. It’s also expanded space in its waiting rooms.
The expansion comes as Governor Cuomo has still not rescinded a state waiver to the city allowing it to fingerprint all food stamp applicants.

The NHL comes to Brooklyn
The New York Islanders will play the first-ever National Hockey League game at the Barclays Center now under construction at the Atlantic/Flatbush Avenue intersection at 7:30, Tuesday, Oct. 2, 2012 when they take on the New Jersey Devils.
The preseason game will mark the first hockey event at Barclays Center, the new major sports and entertainment venue, which will officially open on September 28 with the first of multiple JAY-Z concerts.
The game will also mark the first NHL game to be played in Brooklyn.
“We’re extremely excited to play the first NHL game in the new, state-of-the-art Barclays Center,” Islanders General Manager Garth Snow said. “We already have some of the most passionate fans in the league supporting our young team, and we are looking forward to expanding our base into Brooklyn.”
The arena is also home to the Brooklyn Nets of the National Basketball Association (NBA) starting next season.

City gets Navy Yard for Supermarket
Nearly 25 years after the redevelopment of the six-acre Admirals Row site at the corner of Flushing Avenue and Navy Street was first proposed, the federal government has transferred the property to the City of New York, which will turn it over to the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation (BNYDC) for redevelopment.
As a result of the transfer, the area’s first major supermarket will be built, two of the historic but neglected buildings will be preserved and new space for industrial tenants will be developed.
BNYDC, which manages the Brooklyn Navy Yard on behalf of the City, will now issue a request for proposals (RFP) seeking a developer to create a 74,000-square-foot supermarket and 79,000 square-feet of additional neighborhood retail space, as well as 127,000 square feet of industrial space on Admirals Row.

The 100-year-old, 13-story building currently houses several agencies including the Office of Children and Family Services and the Department of Taxation.
The rumors of the sale started after the Empire State Development Corporation (ESDC) recently contacted state Sen. Velmanette Montgomery and asked her questions about the building’s use and if she would consider supporting its sale. Montgomery, whose district office is in the YWCA Building on Atlantic and Third Avenues, told ESDC officials she opposes the sale.
“It does not make any sense at all for them to be thinking about closing the State Office Building at one of the best transportation hubs in New York City,” said Jim Vogel, spokesperson for Montgomery.
Vogel explained that the only two other state office buildings in the area are in Harlem and Hauppauge, Long Island, which is at the tip of the island.
“So closing a state office building near a transportation hub, if unintentionally, is discriminatory against lower-income folks who don’t have cars or the time to be navigating to these other office buildings in order to get help,” he said.
But an ESDC spokesperson official denied the building is up for sale.
“We are still in the planning stages for the downstate region and while the building in question is not currently for sale, a broader strategy for both owned and leased space in New York City is being discussed,” said ESDC spokesman Austin Shafran.
Shafran said the ESDC is looking at the building as part of the Cuomo Administration’s ongoing effort to re-imagine state government operations.
“We have been developing a strategy to manage all of our real estate assets statewide. Our goal is to maximize the use of space, minimize costs and achieve significant savings for taxpayers,” he said.
Assemblyman Hakeem Jeffries, who has his district office in the building, said the people of Brooklyn deserve a state office building and the most appropriate place for it to be located is at its current location in Ft.Greene.
“The Ft. Greene location provides access to the large mass transportation hub in the borough and for mixed people from all corners of Kings County including Bed- Stuy, Bay Ridge, Bensonhurst and Brownsville to get access to their state government,” said Jeffries.
“We have made clear to the ESDC that under no uncertain terms we strongly oppose the sale of the state office building,” he added.

Thus, Jeffries rolled out a new “One Child, One Laptop” initiative in delivering his fifth State of the District address given before a packed auditorium at Pratt Institute last week.
“W.E.B. Du Bois, the noted scholar, once observed that the racial divide would likely be the most vexing challenge of the 20th century. I think it’s fair to say that the digital divide may emerge as one of the most vexing challenges of the 21st century,” said Jeffries. “We need to adequately prepare our children and our students for the modern economy and the technology-driven world.”
While Jeffries didn’t explain exactly how the initiative would work in his speech, his spokesperson Lupe Todd said it would involve public and private partnerships.
“He’s still in the planning stages. Whenever he has new initiatives he goes and proposes it to the community. It’s in the skeletal process,” said Todd.
Besides the “One Child, One Laptop” initiative, Jeffries said his legislative focus will be on getting more affordable housing through the creation of a $500 million fund for affordable housing in next year’s state budget by using proceeds from the mortgage recording tax. Currently, proceeds from this tax are used in part to provide mass transportation funding.
Jeffries also pointed out recent victories he has championed including the reauthorization of the millionaires’ tax, strengthening of rent regulations to protect working families and the end of prison-based gerrymandering so that prisoners are counted in their home communities rather than in the districts where they are incarcerated for purposes of drawing district lines.
Prior to his speech, the audience was treated to a performance by a choir of students from Ronald Edmonds Learning Center, J.H.S. 113 as they serenaded the house with several musical selections including the South African National Anthem.
Over 200 residents and community leaders attended the speech, which also showcased some political muscle in Jeffries run for Congress.
The night’s events were hosted by the mistress of ceremonies’ Yvonne Graham who is the current associate commissioner of the New York State Department of Health and the former Brooklyn Deputy Borough President.
Others in attendance were City Council members Letitia James and Al Vann, and Democratic District Leaders Walter Mosley and Lincoln Restler.

Kevin Parker’s favor.
Parker currently represents a wide swath of Central Brooklyn including the mainly Caribbean and African-American communities of East Flatbush and Flatbush, the mainly white, liberal middle-class of Ditmas Park, a sizable Asian Muslim community in Kensington, and the Orthodox Jewish community of Borough Park.
Under the proposed “Jewish District” he would lose Borough Park and a sizable portion of Muslim/Jewish Kensington, and pick up North Windsor Terrace, Greenwood Heights and Park Slope.
“It (the redistricting) does not affect me in a negative way,” said Parker. “The people in Borough Park would be happier because they are a little more conservative and I’m a little more liberal, but we did a lot of work together on parochial schools and kosher food.”
Parker, who is sharp on policy matters, did call the new senate lines “blatantly racist in breaking up communities of color, particularly in Nassau County, Long Island where Roosevelt and Hempstead were broken up into three or four different districts, and in upstate Rochester.
Some of these districting things will be changed drastically because they won’t hold up constitutionally in court, said Parker.
Jewish District, Simcha Felder and John Liu
Speaking of the “Jewish District,” powerful Borough Park Assemblyman Dov Hikind denied last week a Yiddish World News Report that he would run his son, Yoni, for the newly created “Jewish District” seat in the state senate.
“I wish he (Yoni) would consider it, but I think he’s too busy,” said Hikind, adding that perhaps his old political ally, Noach Dear, would be interested in running.
Another name floating around is Hikind adversary and former City Councilman Simcha Felder, who now works for Comptroller John Liu, whose also gearing up for the mayor race.
When Liu recently had campaign finance issues, it was reported that Felder was jumping ship, but he remains under the comptroller’s charge as both a capable money manager and a maverick political operator, with a very dry sense of humor.
“I’m very happy where I am,” said Felder. “My only comment regarding the senate race is we’re having wonderful 60-degree weather today.”
The Asian District
For readers into Asian culture and urban adventure, it should be noted that Brooklyn’s Chinatown along Eighth Avenue from the East 40’s to the 60s is really booming. I’ve eaten and shopped down there several times and it’s a cool place if you dig that scene like I do.
That said, the redistricting also created an “Asian District” in the state assembly. That seat is currently held by the unflappable Assemblyman Peter Abbate, who’s been in office 26 years.
“So what that Eighth Avenue is now 51 percent of my district. My district was already 38-percent Asian and I’m still keeping Bensonhurst and Dyker Heights,” said Abbate. “I know most of the community leaders there already. I was just there last Sunday at the Chinese New Year’s Parade – the same one I’ve attended for the past 15 years. I’m very active in community events and I’m a full-time assembly member so all my energies goes to the people I represent.”
While Abate is a savvy lawmaker, the thinking here is the Asian community is a sleeping tiger beginning to rouse.

Odds & Ends
State Senator Kevin Parker said endorsing a candidate for the 10th Congressional District Race between incumbent Rep. Ed Towns, Assemblyman Hakeem Jeffries and Charles Barron is a very tough call because Towns was his mentor and Jeffries a good colleague in the state legislature. Kudos to Assemblyman Dov Hikind for his progressive stance on the reporting of domestic violence and sexual abuse cases in the closed-off Orthodox and Hassid communities to secular law enforcement authorities, and for his pro-feminism stance on the current woman’s rights issues in Israel.
Sources very close to City Councilman Domenic Recchia said he is still considering the borough president’s race.
The thinking here is Recchia would run surprisingly well in the African-and Caribbean-American communities of Central Brooklyn because he’s shown in his home district of Coney Island that he’s not afraid to engage the community of color.
Recchia is also not afraid to express his viewpoint such as when he recently told this reporter he didn’t think NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly and NYPD Communications boss Paul Browne should be fired for NYPD’s recent Islamophob video.
“Crime is down and it was their first big mess up,” said Recchia. “They said they’re sorry. Let’s move on.”

The maps, widely viewed as contorted, have joined criticism from all across the state. The shapes of some districts, the elimination of others, a 63rd Senate district, and the placement of sitting legislators in the same district have inspired citizens to attend public hearings and at least one rally in protest.
LATFOR is controlled by Senate Republicans and a Democratic Assembly. The Senate Republicans decided to place a 63rd Democratic Senate seat in the Capital region near Albany, instead of in New York City where there has been an increase in population over the past 10 years. That proposed Capital region Senate seat is being challenged because it is viewed as a ploy for Senate Republications to retain their 32-29 seat majority despite a decline in population upstate.
The proposed maps are also viewed as shortchanging NYC because Senate districts in the city are more than 3% larger than the average district size. Every district what the Westchester however, is more than 4.5% smaller than the average sized district. With such a wide spread in population size per district, the average Senate vote by cast upstate weighs 7.3% more than the average vote in New York City and surrounding regions.
There are some notable features of the GOP Senate proposal. The district formerly held by disgraced indicted former Sen. Carl Kruger has been eliminated. That district, covering Brighton Beach, Bergen Beach, and Mill Basin, would be split between State Senators John Sampson (D) and Marty Golden (R). New York City Councilman Lew Fidler and Brighton Beach attorney David Storobin are currently campaigning for Kruger’s seat and vowed to continue to do so even though the seat may be eliminated by year’s end.
State Sen. Eric Adams home was drawn out of his district by one block and placed in Sen. Velmanette Montgomery’s district, leaving Adams district with no incumbent. State Sen. Kevin Parker’s district has been pushed into Park Slope. The Borough Park and Midwood sections of Parker’s district have been formed into a new district that would concentrate Orthodox and Russian Jewish votes while creating a new Republican seat for those conservative voters.
The senate district currently held by Diane’s Savino is one of the LATFOR’s most oddly drawn districts. It would retain a large segment of Staten Island’s North Shore plus two separate pieces in Brooklyn. This district would most certainly be challenged because the NYS Constitution mandates that districts should be “compact” and consist of “contiguous territory.” Districts “shall contain as nearly as may be an equal number of inhabitants.”
For senate districts in Queens currently held by Democrats would be merged into two, pitting incumbents Michael Gianaris against Jose Peralta and Toby Ann Stavisky against first-term Tony Avella. The merger of Stavisky’s and Avella’s districts was purportedly done in order to create an Asian- majority district in Flushing.
LATFOR’s plan would create three Asian-majority districts – two in Queens and one in the Sunset Park section of Brooklyn.
LATFOR has been holding public hearings on the proposed maps this week in every NYC borough and next week at various other locations around the state.
Although Gov. Andrew Cuomo has pledged to veto any “partisan” redistricting proposal, it remains to be seen if he will veto or negotiate with the legislature. A veto would take the matter out of legislator’s hands and place it in the courts.
Senate Democrats have already filed suit challenging the GOP increase of seats from 62 to 63 and the placement of that seat of state rather than in New York City that grew faster than any other part of the state. There are also lawsuits currently in the courts challenging the time delay in New York State’s redistricting process.
LATFOR is scheduled to issue NYC Congressional maps in March which will add tension to an already contentious process because the state is losing two congressional seats.
Last week U.S. District Court Judge Gary Sharpe ruled that New York State Congressional primary will be held on June 26. The new date will have New York State in compliance with the federal military and overseas voter empowerment act, ensuring that absentee ballots from overseas military personnel will be sent and received in time. The law requires that ballots be sent out no less than 45 days before a general election for a federal position. Ballots for a primary to determine which candidates will be on that ballot must be sent 35 days before that deadline.
The federal ruling does not apply to New York’s state legislative primaries which are generally scheduled for the second Tuesday in September. The Republican presidential primary must take place on April 24. While assembly Democrats recommended the June 26 primary date, Senate Republicans are feeling pressure to hold the state legislative primary on the same date as the congressional primary as a cost-saving measure. Primaries for state offices are currently scheduled for September 11.

Prospect Plaza residents need credit check to move back in http://ourtimepress.com/2012/02/03/nycha-development-being-privatized-prospect-plaza-residents-need-credit-check-to-move-back-in/ http://ourtimepress.com/2012/02/03/nycha-development-being-privatized-prospect-plaza-residents-need-credit-check-to-move-back-in/#comments Fri, 03 Feb 2012 18:22:17 +0000 admin http://ourtimepress.com/?p=7091 A Brownville public housing development, which displaced over 1,000 low-income residents nine years ago for alleged renovations, is now being slated for redevelopment as a mixed-income project with retail on the ground floor.
The Prospect Plaza Housing Development at 1773 Prospect Plaza was shuttered in 2003 by the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) for planned renovations. This includes four 12- and 15-story buildings with 368 apartments, and the closing displaced 1,172 residents, who were told they could return upon completion.
However, in 2007 the project was suspended after it was determined that it was financially infeasible to renovate the towers.
Then this month NYCHA announced jointly with the Department of Housing Preservation & Development (HPD) that it issued a call for developers to design, construct and operate a mixed-use development that will result in a minimum of 80 NYCHA public housing units and 280 affordable housing units along with ground-floor retail, community facility space and open space.
“This is outrageous,” said Milton Bolton, former Prospect Plaza Tenant Association President who has been a long-standing supporter of making sure the Plaza’s status returns to the NYCHA residents. “All 360 units was supposed to be NYCHA housing”
Bolton noted that according to the new plans, only 22 percent of the units will be for NYCHA tenants and all future new applicants who choose to return to the new development will have to undergo a credit check as part of the application process.
“You do not do credit checks for people who are already in housing,” said Bolton. “They are trying everything to make this development private”.
NYCHA Spokesperson Zodet Negron responded that the agency is in contact with about 240 former Prospect Plaza households, most of which were relocated to other NYCHA public housing units in Brooklyn, with a large concentration in the Ocean Hill-Brownsville community (Community Board 16).
“The Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) program will be used to finance the project and requires reasonable credit history, including a credit check, for all new residents of the development,” said Negron.
Meanwhile, Bolton said he is very disappointed in all the local elected officials in not coming to bat and dropping the ball since 2003 for their low-income constituents.
“They (elected officials) were supposed to see that this gets built and none of them did. I remember a City Council hearing about this several years and they all swore they would make it (renovations) happen, but it never did,” said Bolton.
Negron said the new development will be done in three phases with completion slated for 2017 – or 14 years after closing Prospect Plaza. By Stephen Witt And Diane Dixon

The Republicans are using racist themes and buzzwords as a full-throated rallying cry to bring their troops out, while the Democrats share a love that dare not speak its name. There has been no call to attack the 45% unemployment for black men in Milwaukee, or even the 16% national average of black unemployment.
We get to be included in the promise of infrastructure work and with programs that help the 99% and we look forward to that. But with the Republicans lobbing racial grenades, it’s disheartening that the Democrats don’t do any firing back. We don’t even get a shout out in President Barack Obama’s 2012 State of the Union Address.
The closest he came was when he was comparing the lack of cooperation in the public arena to the regimentation of the military: “When you put on that uniform, it doesn’t matter if you’re black or white; Asian or Latino; conservative or liberal; rich or poor; gay or straight.” What’s wrong with this example of course is that the rich won’t be caught dead in the uniform and those in the other categories are probably also poor.
In fact, if it were not for pressure from the Occupy Movement changing the national dialogue, then issues of fairness in taxation and accountability in the foreclosure fiasco, issues that can be helpful to African-Americans and provide resources for the poor, would not be front and center, and that should be instructive.
Everyone knows the African-American community is going to vote for Obama come November, he’s the superior candidate in every way. But that does not mean we should not be making demands, just as every other group is. The Pierce County Herald reports on a study showing that five major American cities have less than 50% of black male residents 16- to 64-years-old working: Detroit – 43.0%, Buffalo – 43.9%, Milwaukee – 44.7% Cleveland – 47.7%, and Chicago – 48.3%. With numbers like that it is not out of line to look for a little special concern. And the fact that it is being sought so quietly, should be a cause for concern itself.

For opening weekend, the action/fighter pilot film was the destination of bus trips packed with church groups and youth organizations, fraternities and sororities, parents with teens, Facebook friends and even college alumni groups. Howard University, my alma mater, had alumni meet-ups for “Red Tails” at Harlem’s Magic Johnson Theater and a New Jersey cinema. Black audiences were drawn by the urge to celebrate and promote the historic accomplishments of these war heroes. The result was an approximate $20 million box office and a number two slot for the epic World War II film.
Lucas, the producer of action, special effects milestones “Star Wars” and “Indiana Jones,” had a 23-year struggle with the major studios to get Tuskegee Airmen story produced. The studios didn’t believe that a big budget Black action film would make money in the U.S. and overseas. So, he personally funded “Red Tails” to the tune of $100 million.
“Red Tails” not only focuses on Black characters, it has a Black executive producer Charles Floyd Johnson (first Black executive producer of a network drama series with the “Rockford Files”), writers (Aaron McGruder (“Boondocks”) and John Ridley (“Three Kings”) and director Anthony Hemingway (“Heroes” and “The Wire”).
“It’s my second go around as a Tuskegee Airmen, I was in the HBO film,” said Cuba Gooding Jr. during an interview in New York. “Every day on the set we had real Tuskegee Airmen. We’d sit around and ask them stories. I would always find out an interesting fact on their accomplishments. Everyday has been eye opening.”
One of the advisors was acclaimed Tuskegee Airman Dr. Roscoe Brown, former president of Bronx Community College. “We’re been trying to do this (movie) for 65 years. We’re really gratified that at last it has happened,” said Dr. Brown. “People will now know about us, who didn’t know before. There is a cadre of people that knew how good we were and what we had done. In fact, our military record helped to bring about the end of segregation. When President Harry Truman signed Executive order that was the first official end of segregation in the military.”
The film boasts an Oscar winner, Gooding Jr. for “Jerry Maguire” and an Oscar nominee Terrence Howard for “Hustle & Flow.” These movie vets acted as mentors on and off screen for an impressive younger drama ensemble: Nate Parker (“The Great Debaters”), David Oyelowo (“The Help” and “Rise of the Planet of the Apes”), Elijah Kelley (“Hairspray”), Tristan Wilds (“The Wire”) and Ne-Yo (“Stomp the Yard”).
“We are proud of these young actors. They treated us like the colonel and the general,” laughed Howard. “When you hear about the Red Tails, the Tuskegee Airmen, they were a select legendary group of people. We meet them when they were human, flesh and blood, before they became legendary.”
The film also garnered the interest of two U.S. presidents. The “Red Tails” cast attended a special Houston screening with President George H.W. Bush, a World War II Air Force veteran, and Dr. Mae C. Jemison, the first African American woman ever to become a U.S. astronaut. In addition, the cast, George Lucas and many original Tuskegee Airmen were guests of President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama for a private screening at the White House.
“I’ve done 60 films and never before have I screened a film with a president,” said Howard.

Last month, I went to Andrews Air Force Base and welcomed home some of our last troops to serve in Iraq. Together, we offered a final, proud salute to the colors under which more than a million of our fellow citizens fought – and several thousand gave their lives.

We gather tonight knowing that this generation of heroes has made the United States safer and more respected around the world. For the first time in nine years, there are no Americans fighting in Iraq. For the first time in two decades, Osama bin Laden is not a threat to this country. Most of al Qaeda’s top lieutenants have been defeated. The Taliban’s momentum has been broken, and some troops in Afghanistan have begun to come home.

These achievements are a testament to the courage, selflessness, and teamwork of America’s Armed Forces. At a time when too many of our institutions have let us down, they exceed all expectations. They’re not consumed with personal ambition. They don’t obsess over their differences. They focus on the mission at hand. They work together.

Imagine what we could accomplish if we followed their example. Think about the America within our reach: A country that leads the world in educating its people. An America that attracts a new generation of high-tech manufacturing and high-paying jobs. A future where we’re in control of our own energy, and our security and prosperity aren’t so tied to unstable parts of the world. An economy built to last, where hard work pays off, and responsibility is rewarded.

We can do this. I know we can, because we’ve done it before. At the end of World War II, when another generation of heroes returned home from combat, they built the strongest economy and middle class the world has ever known. My grandfather, a veteran of Patton’s Army, got the chance to go to college on the GI Bill. My grandmother, who worked on a bomber assembly line, was part of a workforce that turned out the best products on Earth.

The two of them shared the optimism of a Nation that had triumphed over a depression and fascism. They understood they were part of something larger; that they were contributing to a story of success that every American had a chance to share – the basic American promise that if you worked hard, you could do well enough to raise a family, own a home, send your kids to college, and put a little away for retirement.

The defining issue of our time is how to keep that promise alive. No challenge is more urgent. No debate is more important. We can either settle for a country where a shrinking number of people do really well, while a growing number of Americans barely get by. Or we can restore an economy where everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same set of rules. What’s at stake are not Democratic values or Republican values, but American values. We have to reclaim them.

Let’s remember how we got here. Long before the recession, jobs and manufacturing began leaving our shores. Technology made businesses more efficient, but also made some jobs obsolete. Folks at the top saw their incomes rise like never before, but most hardworking Americans struggled with costs that were growing, paychecks that weren’t, and personal debt that kept piling up.

In 2008, the house of cards collapsed. We learned that mortgages had been sold to people who couldn’t afford or understand them. Banks had made huge bets and bonuses with other people’s money. Regulators had looked the other way, or didn’t have the authority to stop the bad behavior.

It was wrong. It was irresponsible. And it plunged our economy into a crisis that put millions out of work, saddled us with more debt, and left innocent, hard-working Americans holding the bag. In the six months before I took office, we lost nearly four million jobs. And we lost another four million before our policies were in full effect.

Those are the facts. But so are these. In the last 22 months, businesses have created more than three million jobs. Last year, they created the most jobs since 2005. American manufacturers are hiring again, creating jobs for the first time since the late 1990s. Together, we’ve agreed to cut the deficit by more than $2 trillion. And we’ve put in place new rules to hold Wall Street accountable, so a crisis like that never happens again.

The state of our Union is getting stronger. And we’ve come too far to turn back now. As long as I’m President, I will work with anyone in this chamber to build on this momentum. But I intend to fight obstruction with action, and I will oppose any effort to return to the very same policies that brought on this economic crisis in the first place.

No, we will not go back to an economy weakened by outsourcing, bad debt, and phony financial profits. Tonight, I want to speak about how we move forward, and lay out a blueprint for an economy that’s built to last – an economy built on American manufacturing, American energy, skills for American workers, and a renewal of American values.

This blueprint begins with American manufacturing.

On the day I took office, our auto industry was on the verge of collapse. Some even said we should let it die. With a million jobs at stake, I refused to let that happen. In exchange for help, we demanded responsibility. We got workers and automakers to settle their differences. We got the industry to retool and restructure. Today, General Motors is back on top as the world’s number one automaker. Chrysler has grown faster in the U.S. than any major car company. Ford is investing billions in U.S. plants and factories. And together, the entire industry added nearly 160,000 jobs.

We bet on American workers. We bet on American ingenuity. And tonight, the American auto industry is back.

What’s happening in Detroit can happen in other industries. It can happen in Cleveland and Pittsburgh and Raleigh. We can’t bring back every job that’s left our shores. But right now, it’s getting more expensive to do business in places like China. Meanwhile, America is more productive. A few weeks ago, the CEO of Master Lock told me that it now makes business sense for him to bring jobs back home. Today, for the first time in fifteen years, Master Lock’s unionized plant in Milwaukee is running at full capacity.

So we have a huge opportunity, at this moment, to bring manufacturing back. But we have to seize it. Tonight, my message to business leaders is simple: Ask yourselves what you can do to bring jobs back to your country, and your country will do everything we can to help you succeed.

We should start with our tax code. Right now, companies get tax breaks for moving jobs and profits overseas. Meanwhile, companies that choose to stay in America get hit with one of the highest tax rates in the world. It makes no sense, and everyone knows it.

So let’s change it. First, if you’re a business that wants to outsource jobs, you shouldn’t get a tax deduction for doing it. That money should be used to cover moving expenses for companies like Master Lock that decide to bring jobs home.

Second, no American company should be able to avoid paying its fair share of taxes by moving jobs and profits overseas. From now on, every multinational company should have to pay a basic minimum tax. And every penny should go towards lowering taxes for companies that choose to stay here and hire here.

Third, if you’re an American manufacturer, you should get a bigger tax cut. If you’re a high-tech manufacturer, we should double the tax deduction you get for making products here. And if you want to relocate in a community that was hit hard when a factory left town, you should get help financing a new plant, equipment, or training for new workers.

My message is simple. It’s time to stop rewarding businesses that ship jobs overseas, and start rewarding companies that create jobs right here in America. Send me these tax reforms, and I’ll sign them right away.

We’re also making it easier for American businesses to sell products all over the world. Two years ago, I set a goal of doubling U.S. exports over five years. With the bipartisan trade agreements I signed into law, we are on track to meet that goal – ahead of schedule. Soon, there will be millions of new customers for American goods in Panama, Colombia, and South Korea. Soon, there will be new cars on the streets of Seoul imported from Detroit, and Toledo, and Chicago.

I will go anywhere in the world to open new markets for American products. And I will not stand by when our competitors don’t play by the rules. We’ve brought trade cases against China at nearly twice the rate as the last administration – and it’s made a difference. Over a thousand Americans are working today because we stopped a surge in Chinese tires. But we need to do more. It’s not right when another country lets our movies, music, and software be pirated. It’s not fair when foreign manufacturers have a leg up on ours only because they’re heavily subsidized.

Tonight, I’m announcing the creation of a Trade Enforcement Unit that will be charged with investigating unfair trade practices in countries like China. There will be more inspections to prevent counterfeit or unsafe goods from crossing our borders. And this Congress should make sure that no foreign company has an advantage over American manufacturing when it comes to accessing finance or new markets like Russia. Our workers are the most productive on Earth, and if the playing field is level, I promise you – America will always win.

I also hear from many business leaders who want to hire in the United States but can’t find workers with the right skills. Growing industries in science and technology have twice as many openings as we have workers who can do the job. Think about that – openings at a time when millions of Americans are looking for work.

That’s inexcusable. And we know how to fix it.

Jackie Bray is a single mom from North Carolina who was laid off from her job as a mechanic. Then Siemens opened a gas turbine factory in Charlotte, and formed a partnership with Central Piedmont Community College. The company helped the college design courses in laser and robotics training. It paid Jackie’s tuition, then hired her to help operate their plant.

I want every American looking for work to have the same opportunity as Jackie did. Join me in a national commitment to train two million Americans with skills that will lead directly to a job. My Administration has already lined up more companies that want to help. Model partnerships between businesses like Siemens and community colleges in places like Charlotte, Orlando, and Louisville are up and running. Now you need to give more community colleges the resources they need to become community career centers – places that teach people skills that local businesses are looking for right now, from data management to high-tech manufacturing.

And I want to cut through the maze of confusing training programs, so that from now on, people like Jackie have one program, one website, and one place to go for all the information and help they need. It’s time to turn our unemployment system into a reemployment system that puts people to work.

These reforms will help people get jobs that are open today. But to prepare for the jobs of tomorrow, our commitment to skills and education has to start earlier.

For less than one percent of what our Nation spends on education each year, we’ve convinced nearly every State in the country to raise their standards for teaching and learning – the first time that’s happened in a generation.

But challenges remain. And we know how to solve them.

At a time when other countries are doubling down on education, tight budgets have forced States to lay off thousands of teachers. We know a good teacher can increase the lifetime income of a classroom by over $250,000. A great teacher can offer an escape from poverty to the child who dreams beyond his circumstance. Every person in this chamber can point to a teacher who changed the trajectory of their lives. Most teachers work tirelessly, with modest pay, sometimes digging into their own pocket for school supplies – just to make a difference.

Teachers matter. So instead of bashing them, or defending the status quo, let’s offer schools a deal. Give them the resources to keep good teachers on the job, and reward the best ones. In return, grant schools flexibility: To teach with creativity and passion; to stop teaching to the test; and to replace teachers who just aren’t helping kids learn.

We also know that when students aren’t allowed to walk away from their education, more of them walk the stage to get their diploma. So tonight, I call on every State to require that all students stay in high school until they graduate or turn eighteen.

When kids do graduate, the most daunting challenge can be the cost of college. At a time when Americans owe more in tuition debt than credit card debt, this Congress needs to stop the interest rates on student loans from doubling in July. Extend the tuition tax credit we started that saves middle-class families thousands of dollars. And give more young people the chance to earn their way through college by doubling the number of work-study jobs in the next five years.

Of course, it’s not enough for us to increase student aid. We can’t just keep subsidizing skyrocketing tuition; we’ll run out of money. States also need to do their part, by making higher education a higher priority in their budgets. And colleges and universities have to do their part by working to keep costs down. Recently, I spoke with a group of college presidents who’ve done just that. Some schools re-design courses to help students finish more quickly. Some use better technology. The point is, it’s possible. So let me put colleges and universities on notice: If you can’t stop tuition from going up, the funding you get from taxpayers will go down. Higher education can’t be a luxury – it’s an economic imperative that every family in America should be able to afford.

Let’s also remember that hundreds of thousands of talented, hardworking students in this country face another challenge: The fact that they aren’t yet American citizens. Many were brought here as small children, are American through and through, yet they live every day with the threat of deportation. Others came more recently, to study business and science and engineering, but as soon as they get their degree, we send them home to invent new products and create new jobs somewhere else.

That doesn’t make sense.

I believe as strongly as ever that we should take on illegal immigration. That’s why my Administration has put more boots on the border than ever before. That’s why there are fewer illegal crossings than when I took office.

The opponents of action are out of excuses. We should be working on comprehensive immigration reform right now. But if election-year politics keeps Congress from acting on a comprehensive plan, let’s at least agree to stop expelling responsible young people who want to staff our labs, start new businesses, and defend this country. Send me a law that gives them the chance to earn their citizenship. I will sign it right away.

You see, an economy built to last is one where we encourage the talent and ingenuity of every person in this country. That means women should earn equal pay for equal work. It means we should support everyone who’s willing to work; and every risk-taker and entrepreneur who aspires to become the next Steve Jobs.

After all, innovation is what America has always been about. Most new jobs are created in start-ups and small businesses. So let’s pass an agenda that helps them succeed. Tear down regulations that prevent aspiring entrepreneurs from getting the financing to grow. Expand tax relief to small businesses that are raising wages and creating good jobs. Both parties agree on these ideas. So put them in a bill, and get it on my desk this year.

Innovation also demands basic research. Today, the discoveries taking place in our federally-financed labs and universities could lead to new treatments that kill cancer cells but leave healthy ones untouched. New lightweight vests for cops and soldiers that can stop any bullet. Don’t gut these investments in our budget. Don’t let other countries win the race for the future. Support the same kind of research and innovation that led to the computer chip and the Internet; to new American jobs and new American industries.

Nowhere is the promise of innovation greater than in American-made energy. Over the last three years, we’ve opened millions of new acres for oil and gas exploration, and tonight, I’m directing my Administration to open more than 75 percent of our potential offshore oil and gas resources. Right now, American oil production is the highest that it’s been in eight years. That’s right – eight years. Not only that – last year, we relied less on foreign oil than in any of the past sixteen years.

But with only 2 percent of the world’s oil reserves, oil isn’t enough. This country needs an all-out, all-of-the-above strategy that develops every available source of American energy – a strategy that’s cleaner, cheaper, and full of new jobs.

We have a supply of natural gas that can last America nearly one hundred years, and my Administration will take every possible action to safely develop this energy. Experts believe this will support more than 600,000 jobs by the end of the decade. And I’m requiring all companies that drill for gas on public lands to disclose the chemicals they use. America will develop this resource without putting the health and safety of our citizens at risk.

The development of natural gas will create jobs and power trucks and factories that are cleaner and cheaper, proving that we don’t have to choose between our environment and our economy. And by the way, it was public research dollars, over the course of thirty years, that helped develop the technologies to extract all this natural gas out of shale rock – reminding us that Government support is critical in helping businesses get new energy ideas off the ground.

What’s true for natural gas is true for clean energy. In three years, our partnership with the private sector has already positioned America to be the world’s leading manufacturer of high-tech batteries. Because of federal investments, renewable energy use has nearly doubled. And thousands of Americans have jobs because of it.

When Bryan Ritterby was laid off from his job making furniture, he said he worried that at 55, no one would give him a second chance. But he found work at Energetx, a wind turbine manufacturer in Michigan. Before the recession, the factory only made luxury yachts. Today, it’s hiring workers like Bryan, who said, “I’m proud to be working in the industry of the future.”

Our experience with shale gas shows us that the payoffs on these public investments don’t always come right away. Some technologies don’t pan out; some companies fail. But I will not walk away from the promise of clean energy. I will not walk away from workers like Bryan. I will not cede the wind or solar or battery industry to China or Germany because we refuse to make the same commitment here. We have subsidized oil companies for a century. That’s long enough. It’s time to end the taxpayer giveaways to an industry that’s rarely been more profitable, and double-down on a clean energy industry that’s never been more promising. Pass clean energy tax credits and create these jobs.

We can also spur energy innovation with new incentives. The differences in this chamber may be too deep right now to pass a comprehensive plan to fight climate change. But there’s no reason why Congress shouldn’t at least set a clean energy standard that creates a market for innovation. So far, you haven’t acted. Well tonight, I will. I’m directing my Administration to allow the development of clean energy on enough public land to power three million homes. And I’m proud to announce that the Department of Defense, the world’s largest consumer of energy, will make one of the largest commitments to clean energy in history – with the Navy purchasing enough capacity to power a quarter of a million homes a year.

Of course, the easiest way to save money is to waste less energy. So here’s another proposal: Help manufacturers eliminate energy waste in their factories and give businesses incentives to upgrade their buildings. Their energy bills will be $100 billion lower over the next decade, and America will have less pollution, more manufacturing, and more jobs for construction workers who need them. Send me a bill that creates these jobs.

Building this new energy future should be just one part of a broader agenda to repair America’s infrastructure. So much of America needs to be rebuilt. We’ve got crumbling roads and bridges. A power grid that wastes too much energy. An incomplete high-speed broadband network that prevents a small business owner in rural America from selling her products all over the world.

During the Great Depression, America built the Hoover Dam and the Golden Gate Bridge. After World War II, we connected our States with a system of highways. Democratic and Republican administrations invested in great projects that benefited everybody, from the workers who built them to the businesses that still use them today.

In the next few weeks, I will sign an Executive Order clearing away the red tape that slows down too many construction projects. But you need to fund these projects. Take the money we’re no longer spending at war, use half of it to pay down our debt, and use the rest to do some nation-building right here at home.

There’s never been a better time to build, especially since the construction industry was one of the hardest-hit when the housing bubble burst. Of course, construction workers weren’t the only ones hurt. So were millions of innocent Americans who’ve seen their home values decline. And while Government can’t fix the problem on its own, responsible homeowners shouldn’t have to sit and wait for the housing market to hit bottom to get some relief.

That’s why I’m sending this Congress a plan that gives every responsible homeowner the chance to save about $3,000 a year on their mortgage, by refinancing at historically low interest rates. No more red tape. No more runaround from the banks. A small fee on the largest financial institutions will ensure that it won’t add to the deficit, and will give banks that were rescued by taxpayers a chance to repay a deficit of trust.

Let’s never forget: Millions of Americans who work hard and play by the rules every day deserve a Government and a financial system that do the same. It’s time to apply the same rules from top to bottom: No bailouts, no handouts, and no copouts. An America built to last insists on responsibility from everybody.

We’ve all paid the price for lenders who sold mortgages to people who couldn’t afford them, and buyers who knew they couldn’t afford them. That’s why we need smart regulations to prevent irresponsible behavior. Rules to prevent financial fraud, or toxic dumping, or faulty medical devices, don’t destroy the free market. They make the free market work better.

There is no question that some regulations are outdated, unnecessary, or too costly. In fact, I’ve approved fewer regulations in the first three years of my presidency than my Republican predecessor did in his. I’ve ordered every federal agency to eliminate rules that don’t make sense. We’ve already announced over 500 reforms, and just a fraction of them will save business and citizens more than $10 billion over the next five years. We got rid of one rule from 40 years ago that could have forced some dairy farmers to spend $10,000 a year proving that they could contain a spill – because milk was somehow classified as an oil. With a rule like that, I guess it was worth crying over spilled milk.

I’m confident a farmer can contain a milk spill without a federal agency looking over his shoulder. But I will not back down from making sure an oil company can contain the kind of oil spill we saw in the Gulf two years ago. I will not back down from protecting our kids from mercury pollution, or making sure that our food is safe and our water is clean. I will not go back to the days when health insurance companies had unchecked power to cancel your policy, deny you coverage, or charge women differently from men.

And I will not go back to the days when Wall Street was allowed to play by its own set of rules. The new rules we passed restore what should be any financial system’s core purpose: Getting funding to entrepreneurs with the best ideas, and getting loans to responsible families who want to buy a home, start a business, or send a kid to college.

So if you’re a big bank or financial institution, you are no longer allowed to make risky bets with your customers’ deposits. You’re required to write out a “living will” that details exactly how you’ll pay the bills if you fail – because the rest of us aren’t bailing you out ever again. And if you’re a mortgage lender or a payday lender or a credit card company, the days of signing people up for products they can’t afford with confusing forms and deceptive practices are over. Today, American consumers finally have a watchdog in Richard Cordray with one job: To look out for them.

We will also establish a Financial Crimes Unit of highly trained investigators to crack down on large-scale fraud and protect people’s investments. Some financial firms violate major anti-fraud laws because there’s no real penalty for being a repeat offender. That’s bad for consumers, and it’s bad for the vast majority of bankers and financial service professionals who do the right thing. So pass legislation that makes the penalties for fraud count.

And tonight, I am asking my Attorney General to create a special unit of federal prosecutors and leading state attorneys general to expand our investigations into the abusive lending and packaging of risky mortgages that led to the housing crisis. This new unit will hold accountable those who broke the law, speed assistance to homeowners, and help turn the page on an era of recklessness that hurt so many Americans.

A return to the American values of fair play and shared responsibility will help us protect our people and our economy. But it should also guide us as we look to pay down our debt and invest in our future.

Right now, our most immediate priority is stopping a tax hike on 160 million working Americans while the recovery is still fragile. People cannot afford losing $40 out of each paycheck this year. There are plenty of ways to get this done. So let’s agree right here, right now: No side issues. No drama. Pass the payroll tax cut without delay.

When it comes to the deficit, we’ve already agreed to more than $2 trillion in cuts and savings. But we need to do more, and that means making choices. Right now, we’re poised to spend nearly $1 trillion more on what was supposed to be a temporary tax break for the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans. Right now, because of loopholes and shelters in the tax code, a quarter of all millionaires pay lower tax rates than millions of middle-class households. Right now, Warren Buffett pays a lower tax rate than his secretary.

Do we want to keep these tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans? Or do we want to keep our investments in everything else – like education and medical research; a strong military and care for our veterans? Because if we’re serious about paying down our debt, we can’t do both.

The American people know what the right choice is. So do I. As I told the Speaker this summer, I’m prepared to make more reforms that rein in the long term costs of Medicare and Medicaid, and strengthen Social Security, so long as those programs remain a guarantee of security for seniors.

But in return, we need to change our tax code so that people like me, and an awful lot of Members of Congress, pay our fair share of taxes. Tax reform should follow the Buffett rule: If you make more than $1 million a year, you should not pay less than 30 percent in taxes. And my Republican friend Tom Coburn is right: Washington should stop subsidizing millionaires. In fact, if you’re earning a million dollars a year, you shouldn’t get special tax subsidies or deductions. On the other hand, if you make under $250,000 a year, like 98 percent of American families, your taxes shouldn’t go up. You’re the ones struggling with rising costs and stagnant wages. You’re the ones who need relief.

Now, you can call this class warfare all you want. But asking a billionaire to pay at least as much as his secretary in taxes? Most Americans would call that common sense.

We don’t begrudge financial success in this country. We admire it. When Americans talk about folks like me paying my fair share of taxes, it’s not because they envy the rich. It’s because they understand that when I get tax breaks I don’t need and the country can’t afford, it either adds to the deficit, or somebody else has to make up the difference – like a senior on a fixed income; or a student trying to get through school; or a family trying to make ends meet. That’s not right. Americans know it’s not right. They know that this generation’s success is only possible because past generations felt a responsibility to each other, and to their country’s future, and they know our way of life will only endure if we feel that same sense of shared responsibility. That’s how we’ll reduce our deficit. That’s an America built to last.

I recognize that people watching tonight have differing views about taxes and debt; energy and health care. But no matter what party they belong to, I bet most Americans are thinking the same thing right now: Nothing will get done this year, or next year, or maybe even the year after that, because Washington is broken.

Can you blame them for feeling a little cynical?

The greatest blow to confidence in our economy last year didn’t come from events beyond our control. It came from a debate in Washington over whether the United States would pay its bills or not. Who benefited from that fiasco?

I’ve talked tonight about the deficit of trust between Main Street and Wall Street. But the divide between this city and the rest of the country is at least as bad – and it seems to get worse every year.

Some of this has to do with the corrosive influence of money in politics. So together, let’s take some steps to fix that. Send me a bill that bans insider trading by Members of Congress, and I will sign it tomorrow. Let’s limit any elected official from owning stocks in industries they impact. Let’s make sure people who bundle campaign contributions for Congress can’t lobby Congress, and vice versa – an idea that has bipartisan support, at least outside of Washington.

Some of what’s broken has to do with the way Congress does its business these days. A simple majority is no longer enough to get anything – even routine business – passed through the Senate. Neither party has been blameless in these tactics. Now both parties should put an end to it. For starters, I ask the Senate to pass a rule that all judicial and public service nominations receive a simple up or down vote within 90 days.

The executive branch also needs to change. Too often, it’s inefficient, outdated and remote. That’s why I’ve asked this Congress to grant me the authority to consolidate the federal bureaucracy so that our Government is leaner, quicker, and more responsive to the needs of the American people.

Finally, none of these reforms can happen unless we also lower the temperature in this town. We need to end the notion that the two parties must be locked in a perpetual campaign of mutual destruction; that politics is about clinging to rigid ideologies instead of building consensus around common sense ideas.

I’m a Democrat. But I believe what Republican Abraham Lincoln believed: That Government should do for people only what they cannot do better by themselves, and no more. That’s why my education reform offers more competition, and more control for schools and States. That’s why we’re getting rid of regulations that don’t work. That’s why our health care law relies on a reformed private market, not a Government program.

On the other hand, even my Republican friends who complain the most about Government spending have supported federally-financed roads, and clean energy projects, and federal offices for the folks back home.

The point is, we should all want a smarter, more effective Government. And while we may not be able to bridge our biggest philosophical differences this year, we can make real progress. With or without this Congress, I will keep taking actions that help the economy grow. But I can do a whole lot more with your help. Because when we act together, there is nothing the United States of America can’t achieve.

That is the lesson we’ve learned from our actions abroad over the last few years.

Ending the Iraq war has allowed us to strike decisive blows against our enemies. From Pakistan to Yemen, the al Qaeda operatives who remain are scrambling, knowing that they can’t escape the reach of the United States of America.

From this position of strength, we’ve begun to wind down the war in Afghanistan. Ten thousand of our troops have come home. Twenty-three thousand more will leave by the end of this summer. This transition to Afghan lead will continue, and we will build an enduring partnership with Afghanistan, so that it is never again a source of attacks against America.

As the tide of war recedes, a wave of change has washed across the Middle East and North Africa, from Tunis to Cairo; from Sana’a to Tripoli. A year ago, Qadhafi was one of the world’s longest-serving dictators – a murderer with American blood on his hands. Today, he is gone. And in Syria, I have no doubt that the Assad regime will soon discover that the forces of change can’t be reversed, and that human dignity can’t be denied.

How this incredible transformation will end remains uncertain. But we have a huge stake in the outcome. And while it is ultimately up to the people of the region to decide their fate, we will advocate for those values that have served our own country so well. We will stand against violence and intimidation. We will stand for the rights and dignity of all human beings – men and women; Christians, Muslims, and Jews. We will support policies that lead to strong and stable democracies and open markets, because tyranny is no match for liberty.

And we will safeguard America’s own security against those who threaten our citizens, our friends, and our interests. Look at Iran. Through the power of our diplomacy, a world that was once divided about how to deal with Iran’s nuclear program now stands as one. The regime is more isolated than ever before; its leaders are faced with crippling sanctions, and as long as they shirk their responsibilities, this pressure will not relent. Let there be no doubt: America is determined to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, and I will take no options off the table to achieve that goal. But a peaceful resolution of this issue is still possible, and far better, and if Iran changes course and meets its obligations, it can rejoin the community of nations.

The renewal of American leadership can be felt across the globe. Our oldest alliances in Europe and Asia are stronger than ever. Our ties to the Americas are deeper. Our iron-clad commitment to Israel’s security has meant the closest military cooperation between our two countries in history. We’ve made it clear that America is a Pacific power, and a new beginning in Burma has lit a new hope. From the coalitions we’ve built to secure nuclear materials, to the missions we’ve led against hunger and disease; from the blows we’ve dealt to our enemies; to the enduring power of our moral example, America is back.

Anyone who tells you otherwise, anyone who tells you that America is in decline or that our influence has waned, doesn’t know what they’re talking about. That’s not the message we get from leaders around the world, all of whom are eager to work with us. That’s not how people feel from Tokyo to Berlin; from Cape Town to Rio; where opinions of America are higher than they’ve been in years. Yes, the world is changing; no, we can’t control every event. But America remains the one indispensable nation in world affairs – and as long as I’m President, I intend to keep it that way.

That’s why, working with our military leaders, I have proposed a new defense strategy that ensures we maintain the finest military in the world, while saving nearly half a trillion dollars in our budget. To stay one step ahead of our adversaries, I have already sent this Congress legislation that will secure our country from the growing danger of cyber-threats.

Above all, our freedom endures because of the men and women in uniform who defend it. As they come home, we must serve them as well as they served us. That includes giving them the care and benefits they have earned – which is why we’ve increased annual VA spending every year I’ve been President. And it means enlisting our veterans in the work of rebuilding our Nation.

With the bipartisan support of this Congress, we are providing new tax credits to companies that hire vets. Michelle and Jill Biden have worked with American businesses to secure a pledge of 135,000 jobs for veterans and their families. And tonight, I’m proposing a Veterans Job Corps that will help our communities hire veterans as cops and firefighters, so that America is as strong as those who defend her.

Which brings me back to where I began. Those of us who’ve been sent here to serve can learn from the service of our troops. When you put on that uniform, it doesn’t matter if you’re black or white; Asian or Latino; conservative or liberal; rich or poor; gay or straight. When you’re marching into battle, you look out for the person next to you, or the mission fails. When you’re in the thick of the fight, you rise or fall as one unit, serving one Nation, leaving no one behind.

One of my proudest possessions is the flag that the SEAL Team took with them on the mission to get bin Laden. On it are each of their names. Some may be Democrats. Some may be Republicans. But that doesn’t matter. Just like it didn’t matter that day in the Situation Room, when I sat next to Bob Gates – a man who was George Bush’s defense secretary; and Hillary Clinton, a woman who ran against me for president.

All that mattered that day was the mission. No one thought about politics. No one thought about themselves. One of the young men involved in the raid later told me that he didn’t deserve credit for the mission. It only succeeded, he said, because every single member of that unit did their job – the pilot who landed the helicopter that spun out of control; the translator who kept others from entering the compound; the troops who separated the women and children from the fight; the SEALs who charged up the stairs. More than that, the mission only succeeded because every member of that unit trusted each other – because you can’t charge up those stairs, into darkness and danger, unless you know that there’s someone behind you, watching your back.

So it is with America. Each time I look at that flag, I’m reminded that our destiny is stitched together like those fifty stars and those thirteen stripes. No one built this country on their own. This Nation is great because we built it together. This Nation is great because we worked as a team. This Nation is great because we get each other’s backs. And if we hold fast to that truth, in this moment of trial, there is no challenge too great; no mission too hard. As long as we’re joined in common purpose, as long as we maintain our common resolve, our journey moves forward, our future is hopeful, and the state of our Union will always be strong.

Thank you, God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America.
