Obama
speech to school children: 'You make your own future' Prepared Remarks of President Barack Obama Arlington, Virginia The President: Hello everyone – how’s everybody doing today? I’m here with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia. And we’ve got students tuning in from all across America, kindergarten through twelfth grade. I’m glad you all could join us today. I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school. And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it’s your first day in a new school, so it’s understandable if you’re a little nervous. I imagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now, with just one more year to go. And no matter what grade you’re in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer, and you could’ve stayed in bed just a little longer this morning. I know that feeling. When I was young,
my family lived in Indonesia for a few years, and my mother didn’t
have the money to send me where all the American kids went to
school. So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday
through Friday – at 4:30 in the morning. |

Obama
seeks help of organized labor in health-care debate To cheers from a supportive crowd, Obama said it was vital for America “to ensure that our great middle class remains the backbone of our economy — not just a vanishing ideal we celebrate at picnics once a year as summer turns to fall.” He called overhauling the nation’s
ailing health-care system an essential step for both those who
have health insurance and those lacking coverage. “Your
voice will get health care passed,” he said. “Your
voice will make sure the American worker is protected.”
