aavoided the debate and continue to let america fall behind. this leading-from-behind strategy is unacceptable. we need strong vision and leadership in the global economy. we can start by approving these three free trade agreements. the fact is, tariffs on our exports to colombia, panama, and south korea are much too high. these agreements will eliminate these tariffs, but the benefits of each agreement go far beyond tariff elimination. the agreements also guarantee fair access for u.s. service providers, reduce unfair barriers to our agriculture exports, provide high levels of protection for our intellectual property rights, and ensure high levels of investment protection. in short, each of these agreements helps u.s. workers compete and win in these growing markets. make no mistake, if we don't take advantage of these new markets, other countries will and it is the u.s. worker who will lose. we cannot afford to allow nations to trace ahead -- to race ahead while our workers stay behind. i urge my colleagues to join with senator baucus and me

think about the world used to say, let's travel to america. let's see the golden gate bridge.'s see the hoover dam. let's see these amazing thing america built. are we going to be the generation where we stop building? where we've got run-down roads and bridges are deemed obsolete? that's not who america is. so congress will have a chance to see if they want to put americans back to work doing the work that america needs done. they say that they value our veterans. when i went before the joint congress to prevent this american jobs act, i said let's give tax breaks to companies that are hiring our veterans. we just got 25,000, a pledge of 25,000 jobs from companies all across the country aiming for a goal of 100,000 veterans being hired by the end of 2013. so when i talked about this part of the plan before the joint session of congress, everybody rose up. democrats and republicans alike. so the question now is, if you all stood and applauded, how are you going to vote? it's not enough to applaud and go to a veterans day parade. people need help. and you've got a chance to hel

let's put america back to work. let's pass the american jobs act. the senate, you haven't helped. in this house, the house of representatives, the republican leadership refuses to even bring this bill up for a vote, even bring it to a hearing in any of the committees. they simply say no. so what's their solution? what's their solution for putting americans back to work? well thus far, it's been to cut budgets, to lay people off across the nation. how is this going to get paid for? it's fully paid for. this is not going to be borrowed money. this is not going out in and borrowing money to create jobs here in the united states. fundamental investments that we need to grow the economy. this american jobs act just under $500 billion is fully paid for. it's paid for by fairness. finally, some fairness in our tax policies. no longer are the super rich in this nation going to be able to skip out of their share of carrying the burden of america. no longer are we going to see situations in which the top 1% of america continue to acquire more and more wealth at the expense of the rest of th

here in north america, let's first talk about ophelia, as you can see the clouds quickly passing through the newfoundland area, moving at speed of almost 70 kilometers per hour, this tropical storm ophelia. and it is going to be bringing tropical storm watches to much of newfoundland, along the peninsula. elsewhere in the states we have a low pressure system that will be moving towards the new england area. and it's going to be bringing some stormy weather towards you as it passes through. out towards the west, british columbia is going to be looking at very heavy rain as well as gusts up to about 100 kilometers per hour in some areas. vancouver, 15 degrees, toronto 13, looking at washington, at 14 degrees. here in europe, though, we've got no clouds whatsoever. just around this area as you can see, high pressure dominating, it's a ginormous high pressure system. this low pressure system over there in the north is going to be bringing gusty conditions as well as very heavy rain in some areas, scotland will be seeing some showers as well. but otherwise, looking very warm out here. moscow

in an american century, america leads the free world and the free world leads the entire world. lete make this perfectly clear. as president of the united states, i will devote myself to an american century and i will never, ever apologize for america. american strength rises from a strong economy, from a strong defense, and from the enduring strength of our values. unfortunately, under this president, all three of those things have been weakened. now, i've already spoken about the actions i'll take to strengthen our economy. to strengthen our military, i'll reverse the president's cuts to the defense budget. time and again, we've seen that attempts to balance the budget by weakening our military only lead to a far higher price not only in treasure, but in blood. i'm going to modernize our navy and our air force, add active duty soldiers, restore a robust missile defense system and gi give -- and i want to make sure we give our veterans the care they deserve. i also want to repair our alliances, our friends should never fear that we will not stand by them in an hour of need. i'll re

from every mountainside, let freedom ring. and if america is to be a great nation, this must become true. so let freedom ring from the hilltops of new hampshire, let freedom ring. from the mighty mountains of new york, let freedom ring from the heighting alleganys of pennsylvania. let the freedom ring from the smokies of colorado. let freedom ring from the slopes of california. but not only that, let freedom ring from stone mountain of georgia. let freedom ring from lookout mountain of tennessee. let freedom ring from every hill and mole hill in mississippi, from every mountainside, let freedom ring. and when this happens, when we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of god's children, black men and white men, jews and gentiles, protestants and catholics, will join hands and sing in the words of the old negro spirit, free at last, free at last, thank god almighty, we are free at last.

we don't have to let them hold us hostage. america's got the energy. let's have american energy independence. >> governor romney, does governor perry have the answer? >> well, he's absolutely right about getting energy independence and taking advantage of our natural resources here. we're an energy-rich nation that's acting like an energy-poor nation. and that's something i've been talking about for some time, as the governor has. he's absolutely right. but there's also a lot of good jobs we need in manufacturing and high-tech jobs and good service jobs. technology of all kinds. america produces an economy that's very, very broad. and that's why our policy to get america, the most attractive place in the world for investment and job growth encompasses more than just energy. it includes that, but also tax policy, regulatory policy, trade policy, education, training and balancing the federal budget, and that starts with repealing obama care, which is a huge burden on this economy. >> senator santorum, does mitt romney have the answer for jobs? >> i agree

and finally, brenda, when they denigrate corporate, this evil corporate america, let's remember that the vast majority of people out there with 401(k) and pension plans are invested in the at & t's of the world, the verizons, doing this not only hurts job creation, it hurts everyone's pocket book. >> toby, they also were targeting small businesses, they went right to the u.s. chamber of commerce. >> yeah. >> well, really, they should have resume's in their hands. if this is about getting employment, get resume' and small business people are the ones who do create the vast majority of jobs in the united states and they have this backwards. they just have it backwards and protesting some thing where the reality is get your butt in line, get a resume' and you'll get a job, it takes a lot of work. >> okay, so, do you think it's really this kind of protest, pe even if it is televised has much to do with the company's business plan. do you think they actually change their business plan based on groups of people protesting them? >> i don't, brenda. and you know, there's no doubt that some o

, republicans are looking like obstructionists to the president putting out his narrative of let's get america> what i think is interesting about the jobs report and the current political situation is that we are in this bizarre limbo, which seems to sort of extend out indefinitely, in which there's a little jobs growth, but not enough to bring down the unemployment, but we're also not in a free fall catastrophic situation, not in a losing 800,000 jobs a month, and the politics of this sort of strange, frustrating limbo is a very distinct one. it's unlike anything i've ever seen in my time observing politics, and i think both sides are trying to figure out how to campaign and make an argument in this kind of context. >> it's a sputter stop type of economy right now, meanwhile, we have occupy wall street, which i know you have a firm opinion of what you think about the protests. they are growing and blossoming maybe into occupy the federal reserve, occupy college, so explain where this branding is going to go but also where it's collectively coming from, especially when a lot of people can't gi

agreements have lange wished, the united states of -- languished, the united states of america has stood still. we have let our competitors to chip away at our market share. if we compete, mr. speaker, if we compete the united states of america wins. if we compete we win. but what happens when we take ourselves out of the game, which has been the case for the last several years? we've literally taken ourselves out of the gam of breaking down barriers, allowing for the free flow of goods and services and capital. what happens? we lose jobs. we lose market chair and, mr. speaker, we lose our competitive edge. now, i'm not going to say we would not have gone through the terrible economic downturn that we've suffered over the past few years if we had several years ago passed these freegget -- free trade agreements. if we stepped up to the plate when the negotiations began, mr. speaker, back in 2004 for these agreements, if we stepped up to the plate i think we would have mitigated the pain and suffering the americans are going through the ailing economy that we have. getting our economy back on track an reasse
