贴一张芮成钢搏辩奥巴马原文:
I feel obliged to take maybe one question from the Korean press -- since you guys have been such excellent hosts. Anybody? This gentleman right here -- hes got his hand up. Hes the only one who took me up on it. Go ahead. And Ill probably need a translation, though, if youre asking the question in Korean. In fact, I definitely will need a translation. (Laughter.)
Q Unfortunately, I hate to disappoint you, President Obama, Im actually Chinese. (Laughter.)
Q But I think I get to represent the entire Asia.
Q Were one family here in this part of the world.
Q How about will my Korean friends allow me to ask a question on your behalf? Yes or no?
THE PRESIDENT: This is getting more complicated than I expected. (Laughter.)
Q Take quick, one question from an Asian, President Obama.
Q Okay. My question is very simple. You mentioned interpretation. I know part of the difficulty being the American President is that some of the decisions that you take, actions you make will be interpreted in a way that are not what you thought they would be or what you meant they would be. For instance, some of the actions youve taken were interpreted as anti-business, domestically, in the United States. And as someone just mentioned, some of the actions taken by the U.S. government that you represent as well were interpreted as sacrificing other countries interests for Americas own benefit. So you find yourself constantly being interpreted in a thousand different ways. How do you address these interpretations?
THE PRESIDENT: With a wonderful press conference like this that give me the opportunity hopefully to provide my own interpretation. But, look, you make a valid point. We live in a connected world. Everything I say, everything my administration does, anything one of my aides does is interpreted in one fashion or another. In America we call it spin. And theres a spin cycle that is going on 24 hours a day, seven days a week. And I think that in this media environment, it is in some ways more challenging to make sure that your message and your intentions are getting out in a consistent basis.
But I think that if Im consistent with my actions and Im consistent with my goals, then over time hopefully people look at my overall trajectory and they can draw accurate conclusions about what were trying to do.
With respect to business, for example, weve had in the United States some battles between myself and some in the business community around issues like financial regulation or health care. At the same time, Ive said repeatedly and I said on this trip, we cant succeed unless American businesses succeed. And Im going to do everything I can to promote their ability to grow and prosper and to sell their goods both in the United States and abroad. And the fact that the economy is now growing and trade is expanding and the stock market is up I think is an indication that I mean what I say. And hopefully by the end of my administration businesses will look back and say, you know what, actually the guy was pretty good for business -- even if at any given point in the road they may be frustrated.
So -- all right, now Im stuck with this last one but I think Ive got to go fly a plane. |
