THEPRESIDENT:
Now,ourbusinessesareresilient.We’vegotgreatworkers.Andso,asaconsequence,weaddedabout200,000newjobslastmonth.Butthere’snoquestionthattheshutdownharmedourjobsmarket.Theunemploymentratestilltickedup.Andwedon’tyetknowallthedataforthisfinalquarteroftheyear,butitcouldbedownbecauseofwhathappenedinWashington.Now,thatmakesnosense.Theseself-inflictedwoundsdon’thavetohappen.Theyshouldnothappenagain.
Weshouldnotbeinjuringourselveseveryfewmonths--weshouldbeinvestinginourselves.Weshouldbebuilding,nottearingthingsdown.Ratherthanrefightingthesameoldbattlesagainandagainandagain,weshouldbefightingtomakesureeverybodywhoworkshardinAmericaandhardrighthereinNewOrleans,thattheyhaveachancetogetahead.That’swhatweshouldbefocusedon.(Applause.)
WhichbringsmetooneofthereasonsI’mhereatthisport.Oneofthethingsweshouldbefocusedonishelpingmorebusinessessellmoreproductstotherestoftheworld.Andtheonlywaythoseproductsgetoutisthroughfacilitieslikethis.Rightnow,exportsareoneofthebrightestspotsinoureconomy.ThanksinparttonewtradedealsthatwesignedwithcountrieslikePanamaandColombiaandSouthKorea,wenowexportmoregoodsandservicesthaneverbefore.AndthatmeansjobsrighthereintheUnitedStatesofAmerica.
Lastyear,every$1billioninexportssupportsnearly5,000jobs,includingjobsrighthereatthisport.Sowe’reworkingonnewtradedealsthatwillmeanmorejobsforourworkers,andmorebusinessforportslikethisone.
And,bytheway,whenItravelaroundtheworld,I’moutthereselling.I’llgoanywhereintheworldtomakesurethatthoseproductsstampedwiththosewords,“MadeinAmerica,”thatwecanopenupthosemarketsandsellthemanywhere.(Applause.)
SohelpingAmericanbusinessesgrow;creatingmorejobs--thesearenotDemocraticorRepublicanpriorities.Theyareprioritiesthateverybody,regardlessofparty,shouldbeabletogetbehind.Andthat’swhy,inadditiontoworkingwithCongresstogrowourexports,I’veputforwardadditionalideaswhereIbelieveDemocratsandRepublicanscanjointogethertomakeprogressrightnow.
