Weekly Address: America Is Leading the World 

In this week's address, the President reiterated the forceful and optimistic message of American leadership that he delivered in his speech before the United Nations General Assembly earlier this week. America is leading the world against the most pressing challenges, including the fight to degrade and destroy ISIL, the effort to stop the Ebola epidemic, and the movement to confront the threat from climate change.

The world looks to America and its commitment to freedom in the face of uncertainty, and as the President said, it will continue to do so for generations to come.

President Obama on Climate Change: "We Have to Answer the Call" 

On Tuesday, at the U.N. Climate Summit, the President highlighted the ambitious clean energy investments and carbon emission reductions the United States has made. And while we've stepped up to act on climate change, President Obama made it clear that it's time for our global partners to stand up too, because "no nation is immune to climate change."

We have to answer the call. We know what we have to do to avoid irreparable harm.We have to cut carbon pollution in our own countries to prevent the worst effects of climate change. We have to adapt to the impacts that, unfortunately, we can no longer avoid. And we have to work together as a global community to tackle this global threat before it is too late.

Check out the chart below and see why we can't wait to act on climate change:

"We Choose Hope Over Fear" 

On Wednesday, the President addressed the United Nations General Assembly in New York City to discuss matters that demand the urgent attention of our global partners.

During his address, he called on the U.N. to join the United States and reject the cancer of violent extremism. Here’s what the President asked of the international community:

	- Degrade and ultimately destroy the terrorist group known as ISIL.
	- We must bring the world together, especially the Muslim community, to reject the ideologies of terrorists, intolerance, and extremism.
	- We must address the cycle of conflict that creates the conditions terrorist prey upon.
	- We must ensure that Arab and Muslim Nations focus on the extraordinary potential of their people.
"We choose hope over fear," the President said. "We see the future not as something out of our control, but as something we can shape for the better through concerted and collective effort."

Attorney General Eric Holder: "The People's Lawyer" 

On Thursday afternoon, speaking from the State Dining Room, the President announced that Eric Holder will be resigning from his current position as U.S. Attorney General. He applauded Holder’s passion and commitment to the American justice system and detailed the work he’s accomplished during his six-year tenure.

During his remarks, the President emphasized the superb job that Holder has done:

I chose him to serve as Attorney General because he believes, as I do, that justice is not just an abstract theory. It's a living and breathing principle. It's about how our laws interact with our daily lives. It's about whether we can make an honest living, whether we can provide for our families; whether we feel safe in our own communities and welcomed in our own country; whether the words that the Founders set to paper 238 years ago apply to every single one of us and not just some.
