Weekly Address: The President's Plan to Create Jobs and Cut the Deficit

Weekly Address: The President's Plan to Create Jobs and Cut the Deficit

President Obama tells the American people about the budget he is sending to Congress, which makes the tough choices required to grow our economy and shrink our deficits.

Watch this week's Weekly Address.

Watch this week's Weekly Address

In Case You Missed It

Here’s a quick glimpse at what happened this week on WhiteHouse.gov:

Easter Egg Roll: On Monday, the First Family welcomed more than 30,000 guests to the South Lawn for the 135th annual White House Easter Egg Roll. The event was filled with activities ranging from the traditional Easter Egg Roll to readings from stars such as Danica Patrick, Adrian Peterson, and even Elmo.

Reducing Gun Violence: On Thursday, President Obama traveled to Colorado to urge the American people to push Congress to vote on a set of common-sense proposals to help reduce gun violence. The President wants to close loopholes in the background check system to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and others who shouldn't have them -- and prevent mass shootings like the one that killed 20 young children and six adults in Newtown, CT.

Remembering a Legend: On Tuesday, the First Lady hosted 80 high school and college students for a showing of "42," the biopic of Jackie Robinson -- the first African-American baseball player to play major league baseball.

"Jackie and Rachel Robinson’s story reminds us how much hard work it takes to move a country forward," said the First Lady. "It reminds us how much struggle is required to make real progress and change."

Prime Minister of Singapore Visits: On Tuesday, President Obama welcomed Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong of Singapore to the White House. The President thanked Singapore for being a strong economic and military partner in the Asia-Pacific region. The President also praised Singapore for providing "a steady vision of how countries in the Pacific region can cooperate effectively."

BRAIN Initiative Challenge: On Tuesday, the President introduced the "BRAIN" Initiative, an ambitious new research plan to accelerate our understanding of the human mind and find new ways to treat, prevent, and cure brain disorders such as Alzheimer’s, schizophrenia, autism, epilepsy, and traumatic brain injury.

Through investments in research and development like the BRAIN initiative, we can lay a national foundation to spur innovation, job creation, and economic growth. The project is one of the Administration’s "grand challenges" in science and technology, which will call upon companies, research universities, foundations, and philanthropists to ensure America continues "to lead the world in the next frontiers of human understanding." The President is very excited about the project and is confident America will lead the way in innovation:

Ideas are what power our economy. It’s what sets us apart… When we invest in the best ideas before anybody else does, our businesses and our workers can make the best products and deliver the best services before anybody else.

Schematic illustration of the design concept for self-assembling drug amphiphiles

In recent years, many popular cancer treatments have been using nano, that is, tiny particles of polymers or carbon-based materials to transport chemotherapy drugs to tumors in a way that specifically targets cancer cells, while sparing normal cells. But this approach has several problems.

Among other things, it is difficult to control the amount of drug loaded into the carrier, and, in fact, all too often there is much more "carrier" material than drug. As a result, ...
