WEEKLY ADDRESS: Working Together in the New Year to Move America Forward
WASHINGTONIn his weekly address, President Obama told the American people that although there will be tough debates to come in the new year, by joining together, we can continue to help grow the economy and create jobs across the country. President Obama will keep working to ensure that everyone has a fair shot and does their fair share, and as we enter into 2012, all Americans should remind Washington of what is at stake for the middle class. By adding their voices to the debate, Americans have already proven that they can make a difference, and in the new year, we can continue to work together to put the country first and help every American find the opportunities they deserve. The audio of the address and video of the address will be available online at www.whitehouse.gov at 6:00 a.m. ET, Saturday, December 31, 2011. Remarks of President Barack Obama Weekly Address Honolulu, HI Saturday, December 31, 2011 Hello, everybody. As 2011 comes to an end and we look ahead to 2012, I want to wish everyone a happy and healthy New Year. The last year has been a time of great challenge and great progress for our country. We ended one war and began to wind down another. We dealt a crippling blow to al-Qaeda and made America more secure. We stood by our friends and allies around the world through natural disasters and revolutions. And we began to see signs of economic recovery here at home, even as too many Americans are still struggling to get ahead. Theres no doubt that 2012 will bring even more change. And as we head into the New Year, Im hopeful that we have what it takes to face that change and come out even stronger to grow our economy, create more jobs, and strengthen the middle class. Im hopeful because of what we saw right before Christmas, when Members of Congress came together to prevent a tax hike for 160 million Americans saving a typical family about $40 in every paycheck. They also made sure Americans looking for work wont see their

unemployment insurance cut off. And I expect Congress to finish the job by extending these provisions through the end of 2012. It was good to see Members of Congress do the right thing for millions of working Americans. But it was only possible because you added your voices to the debate. Through email and Twitter and over the phone, you let your representatives know what was at stake. Your lives. Your families. Your well-being. You had the courage to believe that your voices could make a difference. And at the end of the day, they made all the difference. More than anything else, you are the ones who make me hopeful about 2012. Because weve got some difficult debates and some tough fights to come. As Ive said before, we are at a make-orbreak moment for the middle class. And in many ways, the actions we take in the months ahead will help determine what kind of country we want to be, and what kind of world we want our children and grandchildren to grow up in. As President, I promise to do everything I can to make America a place where hard work and responsibility are rewarded one where everyone has a fair shot and everyone does their fair share. Thats the America I believe in. Thats the America weve always known. And Im confident that if we work together, and if you keep reminding folks in Washington whats at stake, then we will move this country forward and guarantee every American the opportunities they deserve. Thanks for watching, and from Michelle, Malia, Sasha, Bo and myself, Happy New Year.

[1.4]When this scheme was disclosed to the Helvetii by informers, they, according to their custom, compelled Orgetorix to plead his cause in chains; it was the law that the penalty of being burned by fire should await him if condemned. On the day appointed for the pleading of his cause, Orgetorix drew together from all quarters to the court, all his vassals to the number of ten thousand persons; and led together to the same place all his dependents and debtor-bondsmen, of whom he had a great number; by means of those he rescued himself from [the necessity of] pleading his cause. While the state, incensed at this act, was endeavoring to assert its right by arms, and the magistrates were mustering a large body of men from the country, Orgetorix died; and there is not wanting a suspicion, as the Helvetii think, of his having committed suicide.
