Remarks of President Barack Obama

Weekly Address on Latin America


Saturday, March 19, 2011
Washington, DC

In recent days, we’ve seen turmoil and tragedy around the world, from change in the Middle East
and North Africa to the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.  As I said on Friday, we will work with
our partners in the region to protect innocent civilians in Libya and hold the Gaddafi regime
accountable.  And we will continue to stand with the people of Japan in their greatest hour of
need.
 
As we respond to these immediate crises abroad, we also will not let up in our efforts to tackle
the pressing, ongoing challenges facing our country, including accelerating economic growth. 
That’s why, over the weekend, I’ll be in Latin America.  One of the main reasons for my trip is
to strengthen economic partnerships abroad so that we create good jobs at home.
 
Latin America is a part of the world where the economy is growing very quickly.  And as these
markets grow, so does their demand for goods and services.  The question is, Where are those
goods and services going to come from?  As President, I want to make sure these products are
made in America.  I want to open more markets around the world so that American companies
can do more business and hire more of our people.
 
Here’s a statistic to explain why this is important.  Every $1 billion of goods and services we
export supports more than 5,000 jobs in the United States.  So, the more we sell overseas, the
more jobs we create on our shores.  That’s why, last year, I set a goal for this country: to double
our exports by 2014.  And it’s a goal we’re on track to meet.
 
Part of the reason why is the rapid growth of Latin America, and their openness to American
business.  We now export more than three times as much to Latin America as we do to China,
and our exports to the region will soon support more than two million jobs here in the United
States.  Brazil, the first stop on our trip, is a great example.
 
In 2010, America’s exports to Brazil supported more than 250,000 American jobs.  These are
jobs at places like Capstone Turbine in California, which recently sold $2 million worth of high-
tech energy equipment to Brazil.  Another company is Rhino Assembly, a small business in
Charlotte, North Carolina that sells and repairs tools for building cars and planes.  A deal with a
distributor in Brazil has resulted in new sales and new employees at that firm.  And we can point
to large companies like Sikorsky, whose helicopter sales to Brazil help sustain a large, skilled
workforce in Connecticut, Alabama, and Pennsylvania.
 
Today, Brazil imports more goods from the United States than from any other nation.  And I’ll
be meeting with business leaders from both countries to talk about how we can create even more
jobs by deepening these economic ties.  After Brazil, I’ll also visit Chile, a country with a
growing economy, and increasing demand for American goods.  In fact, since 2004, our exports
there are up 300 percent, and now support about 70,000 jobs in the United States.  Finally, we’ll
head to El Salvador, a nation with so much promise for growth with the potential to benefit both
of our nations.
 
We’ve always had a special bond with our neighbors to the south.  It’s a bond born of shared
history and values, and strengthened by the millions of Americans who proudly trace their roots
to Latin America.  But what is clear is that in an increasingly global economy, our partnership
with these nations is only going to become more vital.  For it’s a source of growth and prosperity
– and not just for the people of Latin America, but for the American people as well.
 
Thank you.

Why write and publish a book like this? Why, in an age of increasingly-sophisticated

subject of this paper is unique. It is a papyrus containing the Decalogue in
Hebrew followed by the Shema’, the text differing in many notable
particulars from the Massoretic standard, and agreeing with that which

underlies the Septuagint version. When we add that there is every reason to
suppose that the Papyrus is at least five or six hundred years older than any
piece of Hebrew writing known to scholars, it is evident that the tattered

The Christian apologist Orosius, for instance, wrote a History against the Pagans in –
, in which he set himself the unenviable task of proving that, despite the disasters of the
early fifth century, the pagan past had actually been worse than the troubled Christian present.
In describing the Gothic sack of Rome in , Orosius did not wholly deny its
unpleasantness (which he attributed to the wrath of God on Rome’s sinful inhabitants). But he
also dwelt at length on the respect shown by the Goths for the Christian shrines and saints of
the city;

and he claimed that the events of  were not as bad as two disasters

that had occurred during pagan times—the sack of Rome by the Gauls in

 , and the burning and despoiling of the city under the Nero. 19

While Roman readers would have been embarrassed by any impression of weakness or
vulnerability in their ancestral hero, Virgil could stress that the gods favoured Aeneas
and destined him to become the founder of a mighty

dynasty: he could replace mere prowess in battle with the long-term

endurance and commitment of a national leader, and honour qualities

that would implicitly honour Aeneas’ descendant Octavian, Rome’s

Over seventy years after Petrie had worked on the Umm el-Qaab, a third re-excavation
of the Early Dynastic royal tombs was launched in 1977, under Kaiser’s direction. The
stated aim of the mission was to investigate the construction of the tombs, illuminating

changes in royal mortuary architecture over the course of the Early Dynastic period, a
subject which had been dealt with only summarily in Petrie’s publications. The early
seasons of excavation concentrated on Petrie’s Cemetery B, comprising the tombs of
Aha, Narmer and their immediate predecessors of ‘Dynasty 0’. The clearance of these

tombs resulted in a much better understanding of the royal tomb’s early development,
and inscribed pottery from tomb complex B1/2 has suggested to some the possible
existence of a late Predynastic king called *Iry-Hor. Kaiser made an important

Th ere were, naturally, far fewer patricians than other members of Roman society. By banding
together, however, and supporting their own causes, patricians became so powerful that they soon
controlled the rest of the Roman citizens, the plebeians. Although most of the patricians were
wealthy, others lost their fortunes as time passed. A few of the plebeians, in the meantime,
managed to accumulate great wealth during the growth and development of the Republic. Since
money had helped to make the patricians powerful, the newly wealthy plebeians believed that
they now deserved a more important and infl uential role in the emerging Republic.

After a long and bitter struggle against the patricians, plebeians eventually gained the legal right
to seek political offi ce. Descent from an ancient and illustrious family, though still important,
gradually became less important than wealth in determining a person’s social class. Rome was

After Brazil, I’ll also visit Chile, a country with a growing economy, and increasing demand for
American goods.  In fact, since 2004, our exports there are up 300 percent, and now support

We’ve always had a special bond with our neighbors to the south.  It’s a bond born of shared
history and values, and strengthened by the millions of Americans who proudly trace their roots
to Latin America. 
ALL other things partake in a portion of everything,
while Nous is infinite and self-ruled, and is mixed
with nothing, but is alone, itself by itself. For if
it were not by itself, but were mixed with anything
else, it would partake in all things if it were mixed
with any; for in everything there is a portion of
everything, as has been said by me in what goes
before, and the things mixed with it would hinder it,
so that it would have power over nothing in the same
way that it has now being alone by itself. For it is
the thinnest of all things and the purest, and it has
all knowledge about everything and the greatest
strength; and Nous has power over all things, both
greater and smaller, that have <soul>.

But what is clear is that in an increasingly global economy, our partnership with these nations is
only going to become more vital.

My personal philosophy of teaching and learning is a product of many influences
including experience, instruction, a melding of the philosophies of past educators
and an intrinsic sense of what is right. I have attempted to capsulate this
philosophy in the seven belief statements that follow. I believe learners are
individuals who bring a unique set of needs and abilities to the classroom and that
  they should be encouraged to become responsible for their own learning,
Thank you. especially as they mature. I believe that a teacher’s primary role is that of a
facilitator of learning, creating opportunities for learning which improve the
chances of student success. I believe that the learning process is multifaceted,
unique to each student, yet containing unifying threads of purpose in addressing
the student as a whole person. I believe the curriculum is a set of criteria
designed, as much as possible, to meet the needs of students and should be
offered to them in as compelling a manner as possible. I believe that the learning
environment is a shared, public place that must be welcoming, safe, and the
responsibility of those who share it.

In recent days, we’ve seen turmoil and tragedy around the world, from change in the Middle
East and North Africa to the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. 

Praise be to God, who revealed the Book, controls the clouds, defeats
factionalism, and says in His Book: "But when the forbidden months
are past, then fight and slay the pagans wherever ye find them, seize
them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of
war)"; and peace be upon our Prophet, Muhammad Bin-'Abdallah, who
said: I have been sent with the sword between my hands to ensure that
no one but God is worshipped, God who put my livelihood under the
shadow of my spear and who inflicts humiliation and scorn on those
who disobey my orders.

The Arabian Peninsula has never -- since God made it flat, created
its desert, and encircled it with seas -- been stormed by any forces
like the crusader armies spreading in it like locusts, eating its
riches and wiping out its plantations. All this is happening at a
time in which nations are attacking Muslims like people fighting over
a plate of food. In the light of the grave situation and the lack of
support, we and you are obliged to discuss current events, and we
should all agree on how to settle the matter.
С учением Маркса происходит теперь то, что не раз бывало в истории с учениями
революционных мыслителей и вождей угнетенных классов в их борьбе за
освобождение. Угнетающие классы при жизни великих революционеров платили
им постоянными преследованиями, встречали их учение самой дикой злобой,
самой бешеной ненавистью, самым бесшабашным походом лжи и клеветы. После
их смерти делаются попытки превратить их в безвредные иконы, так сказать,
канонизировать их, предоставить известную славу их имени для "утешения"
угнетенных классов и для одурачения их, выхолащивая содержание
революционного учения, притупляя его революционное острие, опошляя его. На
такой "обработке" марксизма сходятся сейчас буржуазия и оппортунисты внутри
рабочего движения. Забывают, оттирают, искажают революционную сторону
учения, его революционную душу. Выдвигают на первый план, прославляют то, что
приемлемо или что кажется приемлемым для буржуазии. Все социал-шовинисты
нынче "марксисты", не шутите! И все чаще немецкие буржуазные ученые,
вчерашние специалисты по истреблению марксизма, говорят о "национально-
немецком" Марксе, который будто бы воспитал так великолепно организованные
для ведения грабительской войны союзы рабочих!

As I said on Friday, we will work with our partners in the region to protect innocent civilians in
Libya and hold the Gaddafi regime accountable.  And we will continue to stand with the people
of Japan in their greatest hour of need.
"They have done a foolish thing," said
I, fingering my wineglass. "They are

dangerous because, no doubt, they are


mad with terror. Perhaps they

expected to find no living things--


certainly no intelligent living things."

 
As we respond to these immediate crises abroad, we also will not let up in our efforts to tackle
the pressing, ongoing challenges facing our country, including accelerating economic growth. 
That’s why, over the weekend, I’ll be in Latin America. 

First, we did not “poll” the military or conduct a referendum on


the overall question of whether to repeal the current Don’t Ask,
Don’t Tell law and policy. That was not our mission,

nor are military policy decisions made by referendum of


Service members. Our primary mission was to assess the
impact of a repeal, should it occur to military readiness,
military effectiveness, unit cohesion, recruiting, retention, and
family readiness. To accomplish that task we focused the
survey on those topics.
Soviet critics of that course could hardly believe the
Isaac Babel, a Red Army military correspondent who accompanied the Kremlin’s refusal to remember the reasons for the
1st Cavalry Army (Konarmiia) during the Soviet–Polish War of 1920,
had a generally low opinion of the rank and file as human beings but American failure in Vietnam, a conflict Moscow itself
often admired their fighting qualities. He loathed the pervasive anti- had helped protract.
semitism, boorishness, and sexual depravity of the men – and some
officers – but, like Lenin, seems to have understood that the use of the
unenlightened and politically ignorant masses was an unfortunate but
necessary evil to preserve the revolution. It comes through clearly in his
diary that Babel remained unconvinced, even skeptical, that the
participation of the dregs would advance socialist revolution. He
described the Russian infantryman as, “not just unmodernized, but the
personification of ‘pauper Russia,’ wayfaring tramps, unhealthily
swollen, bug-ridden, scrubby, half-starved peasants.” He even
describes soldiers as “cavemen.”14

One of the main reasons for my trip is to strengthen economic partnerships abroad so that we
create good jobs at home.
The emperor agreed, and initiated what still ranks as the most dramatically rapid transformation of

a society in all history. He sent thousands of promising students to study abroad (75 percent of

them enrolled in science courses), and enlisted hundreds of translators in a crash program to

translate every Western science text that could be obtained into Japanese. Japan's representatives

abroad were ordered to collect and send back home every scrap of scientific information they
 
encountered. The best talent from the Prussian Kriegsakademie was hired to overhaul and

modernize the Japanese military structure. He also hired battalions of foreign science teachers and

States of America.

Latin America is a part of the world where the economy is growing very quickly.  And as these
markets grow, so does their demand for goods and services.  The question is, Where are those
goods and services going to come from?  As President, I want to make sure these products are
made in America.  I want to open more markets around the world so that American companies
can do more business and hire more of our people.
Oral history interviews represent another important source for the book.

T HE WAR OF ATTRITION , the Yom Kippur War, the Munich massacre


The majority of these were conducted by the author, though in several
highly sensitive cases, the author provided written questions to a
research assistant who, for reasons of personal security, wished to
remain anonymous. I have attempted to interview as many of the war’s
 
and Black September, the Lebanon War, the controversy over Jewish principal figures as possible. Several, such as Gideon Rafael and Kings
Hussein and Hassan, passed away during the course of my research;
settlements and the future of Jerusalem, the Camp David Accords,
others—Ariel Sharon and Yasser Arafat, for example— declined to be
interviewed
the Oslo Accords, the Intifada—all were the result of six intense days in the
Middle East in June 1967. Rarely in modern times has so short and localized a
conflict had such prolonged, global consequences. Seldom has the world’s
attention been gripped, and remained seized, by a single event and its
ramifications.

Here’s a statistic to explain why this is important.  Every $1 billion of goods and services we
export supports more than 5,000 jobs in the United States. 

Also during these decades, the philosophical scene on the


European continent and in the Anglo-Saxon world began to part
ways more sharply than before with existentialism and
phenomenology

becoming dominant on the Continent and analytical philosophy


in Britain, Canada, and the United States, with deconstructionism
appearing

also on the scene late in the twentieth century but with different
interpretations of it as far as philosophy is concerned in the two

worlds.

So, the more we sell overseas, the more jobs we create on our shores.  That’s why, last year, I set
a goal for this country: to double our exports by 2014.  And it’s a goal we’re on track to meet.

Part of the reason why is the rapid growth of Latin America, and their openness to American
business. 

We now export more than three times as much to Latin America as we do to China, and our
exports to the region will soon support more than two million jobs here in the United States. 
Brazil, the first stop on our trip, is a great example.

estimates put Afghan deaths at 1.25 million, or 9 percent
of the population, with another three-quarters of a million
wounded.

Needless to say of the Soviets, it was the soldiers on the

In 2010, America’s exports to Brazil supported more than 250,000 American jobs.  These are
jobs at places like Capstone Turbine in California, which recently sold $2 million worth of high-
tech energy equipment to Brazil. 

Another company is Rhino Assembly, a small business in Charlotte, North Carolina that sells
and repairs tools for building cars and planes.  A deal with a distributor in Brazil has resulted in
new sales and new employees at that firm. 

Ten years ago, the international community adopted the right goals.

Unfortunately, today we have to admit that we will not achieve all the Millennium
Development Goals by 2015. The goals remain valid, however, and must be
implemented rigorously. This should be the central commitment of this summit.

Noticeable progress has been made on certain individual Millennium Development


Goals. For example some progress has been made on basic education, gender
equality and also on combating hunger. However, hunger and malnutrition still prevail
at an unacceptably high level.

And we can point to large companies like Sikorsky, whose helicopter sales to Brazil help sustain
a large, skilled workforce in Connecticut, Alabama, and Pennsylvania.
 

Today, Brazil imports more goods from the United States than from any other nation.  And I’ll
be meeting with business leaders from both countries to talk about how we can create even more
jobs by deepening these economic ties.

A classic example is the case of the judge’s broken leg. Judge X has gone
to the theater every Friday night for the past 10 years. Based on a
Bayesian analysis, one would predict, with some certainty, that this
Friday night would be no different. An expert knows, however, that the
judge broke her leg Thursday afternoon and is expected to be in the
hospital until Saturday. Knowing this key variable allows the expert to
predict that the judge will not attend the theater this Friday.

As I said on Friday, we will work with our partners in the region to protect innocent civilians in
Libya and hold the Gaddafi regime accountable.  And we will continue to stand with the people

Refusing to cooperate, the CIA raised FOIA exemptions Bl and B3 and in

The United States has been party to multilateral and bilateral
agreements addressing the status of U.S. armed forces while
present in a foreign country. These agreements, commonly
referred to as Status of Forces Agreements (SOFAs), generally
establish the framework under which U.S. military personnel
operate in a foreign country, addressing how the domestic laws
of the foreign jurisdiction shall be applied toward U.S.
personnel while in that country [Since that kind of Agreement
serves both the host country and the United States as
represented by the United States Army and related personnel
civilian or other].

Latin America is a part of the world where the economy is growing very quickly.  And as these
markets grow, so does their demand for goods and services. 
The question is, Where are those goods and services going to come from?  As President, I want
to make sure these products are made in America.  I want to open more markets around the
world so that American companies can do more business and hire more of our people.

Here’s a statistic to explain why this is important.  Every $1 billion of goods and services we
export supports more than 5,000 jobs in the United States.  So, the more we sell overseas, the
more jobs we create on our shores.  That’s why, last year, I set a goal for this country: to double

During the later 1970s, with the opening of United States


archives to academic scrutiny, under the Freedom of
Information Act, a new school of so-called post-Vietnam
revisionists emerged.

John Lewis Gaddis is a leading exponent of this school.


It resulted in a more sophisticated analysis of the origins
of the Cold War, which sought to demonstrate that the
clash between the US and

the Soviet Union arose from misunderstandings of each


other’s policies and was often the result of over-reaction
by both sides to often defensive moves by the other [45].
On August 28, 1963, under a sizzling hot sun in Washington,
D.C., more than 200,000 people engulfed the area around the
Lincoln Memorial—blacks and whites, young and old, the
largest reform demonstration in American history.

Part of the reason why is the rapid growth of Latin America, and their openness to American
business. 
Yet now information has started to emerge of the alleged

misdeeds of NATO's most secret services. In Italy a parliamentary


commission is investigating the activities of a secret army set up
by the state to resist a possible Soviet invasion. The inquiry has
led to the disclosure of similar secret forces across Europe. But the

We now export more than three times as much to Latin America as we do to China, and our
exports to the region will soon support more than two million jobs here in the United States. 
Brazil, the first stop on our trip, is a great example.
  The Cuban missile crisis had the effect of increasing the already
bounding confidence of the United States in its own destiny.

President Johnson’s decision to commit American air and ground


forces to South Vietnam in 1965 reflected this vision of an
allpowerful US actively combating the spread of communism
and defending American values in the free world. The reality, of
course, was more complicated. When the Vietnam intervention
failed to achieve its purpose, President Nixon reduced the
American commitment there and finally abandoned South
Vietnam altogether.
The Department of Defense continues to develop and acquire
joint complex systems that deliver needed capabilities
demanded by our warfighters. Systems engineering is the
technical and technical management process that focuses
explicitly on delivering and sustaining robust, high-quality,
affordable products. The Air Force leadership, from the
Secretary of the Air Force,

to our Service Acquisition Executive, through the Commander


of Air Force Materiel Command,

has collectively stated the need to mature a sound systems

In 2010, America’s exports to Brazil supported more than 250,000 American jobs.  These are
jobs at places like Capstone Turbine in California, which recently sold $2 million worth of high-
tech energy equipment to Brazil.  Another company is Rhino Assembly, a small business in
Charlotte, North Carolina that sells and repairs tools for building cars and planes. 

Following the death of V.I. Lenin in 1924, a struggle for power between his heirs led to the emergence of
Joseph V. Stalin as Soviet leader. Stalin was less interested than his rivals in exporting revolution and more
concerned to build up the Soviet Union’s industrial and military base in order that Russia might become the
bastion of communism and, as such, able to resist aggression by the capitalist West. The gigantic sacrifices the
industrialisation process imposed on the Soviet people and economy led to a preoccupation with internal
affairs, just as the onset of the depression in the United States in 1929 had a similar effect in increasing
isolationist sentiment there. However, Japanese aggression in Manchuria and China after 1931 prompted Stalin
and the newly elected

United States President, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, each increasingly concerned about the threat of a militarist
Japan to their interests in Asia, to open diplomatic relations with each other in

1933. Stalin agreed to recognise the former Tsarist debts in return for a loan from the United States, but this
agreement soon foundered on mutual disagreements about its terms.

SOFAs are often included, along with other types of military agreements, as part of
a comprehensive security arrangement with a particular country. A SOFA itself
does not constitute a security arrangement; rather, it establishes the rights and
privileges of U.S. personnel present in a country in support of the larger security
arrangement. SOFAs may be entered based on authority found in previous treaties
and congressional actions or as sole executive agreements.

The United States is currently party to more than 100 agreements that may be
considered SOFAs.

A list of current agreements included at the end of this report is categorized in


tables according to the underlying source of authority, if any, for each of the
SOFAs.
A deal with a distributor in Brazil has resulted in new sales and new employees at that firm. 
And we can point to large companies like Sikorsky, whose helicopter sales to Brazil help sustain
a large, skilled workforce in Connecticut, Alabama, and Pennsylvania.

During the past 30 years, researchers have categorized, experimented, and theorized about
the cognitive aspects of forecasting and have sought to explain why experts are less accurate
forecasters than statistical models. Despite such efforts, the literature shows little consensus
regarding the causes or manifestations of human bias. Some have argued that experts, like all
humans, are inconsistent when using mental models to make predictions. That is, the model
an expert uses for predicting X in one month is different from the model used for predicting X
in a later month, although precisely the same case and same data set are used in both
instances.
Nor have we been wanting in attention to our British

brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts

by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction


 
over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our

emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their

native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them

by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these

Another strand in American thinking about the post-war period, and one which
appealed particularly to the American Secretary of State, Cordell Hull, was that
the post-war world economic order should be based on the principle of the open
door to trade and investment. In Hull’s view the rise of the aggressors in Asia and
Europe had been primarily the result of the dislocation of the world economy after
1929, when tariff barriers had so diminished world trade that the most
economically deprived, and yet vigorous, states like Germany and Japan had
turned to overseas expansion for their economic salvation. Thus a renewed post-
war slump could be avoided if all nations had equal access to world

markets, supplies of raw materials and investment opportunities.

As a result world trade would burgeon and all nations, rich and

We’ve always had a special bond with our neighbors to the south.  It’s a bond born of shared
history and values, and strengthened by the millions of Americans who proudly trace their roots
to Latin America.  But what is clear is that in an increasingly global economy, our partnership
with these nations is only going to become more vital.  For it’s a source of growth and prosperity
– and not just for the people of Latin America, but for the American people as well.
