Hi, everybody. On Thursday, I addressed a conference for business leaders from around the world. And my pitch was simple: Choose America. Invest in America. Create jobs in America. It speaks to my top priority as President: growing our economy, creating good jobs, strengthening security and opportunity for the middle class. Over the past three and a half years, our businesses have created over seven and a half million new jobs. And this week, the Treasury confirmed that since I took office, we've cut our deficits by more than half. But we have more work to do. We need to grow and create more good jobs faster. That's my driving focus. And I'll go anywhere and do anything to make it happen. That has to be Washington's driving focus as well. But I know that what you often hear out of Washington can sound like Charlie Brown's teacher - a jumble of unfocused noise that's out of touch with the things you care about. So today, I want to cut through that noise and talk plainly about what we should do right now to keep growing this economy and creating new jobs.大家好。星期二我在一场全球企业家会议上发表了一次讲话。我的意图简单明确：选择美国，投资美国，在美国创造就业。这也表明了身为总统我的首要工作：促进经济增长，创造良好就业，巩固中产阶级安全感，为其提供更多机遇。在过去的3年半时间里，我们的企业已经创造了750多万个就业岗位。而且本周财政部也确认，自我主政以来，我们的财政赤字已经削减了一多半。但我们还有更多的工作要做。我们要更快促进经济增长和创造就业。
这是我前进的目标。而我将为达成这一目标全力以赴，竭尽所能。而且这也应该成为华盛顿的前进目标。但我知道大家经常听到的关于如同查理?布朗老师所说的华盛顿消息：乱哄哄一堆嘈杂之声探讨的根本就不是大家所关心的事情。因此，今天，我想摒弃这种嘈杂之声，坦率地谈一谈我们现在为保持经济增长和创造就业应该做的事情。
