State of the Union speech of President Obama that was erased

◆◆ media environment (Fujii Satoshi Kyoto University Professor) of our country to see the "Obama State of the Union coverage of the speech" ◆◆
US President Obama, on January 26, economy, education, finance, trade, infrastructure and,, diplomacy, security and a wide variety of comprehensive State of the Union speech (or less, Obama State of the Union) was carried out. Its contents, are largely covered in the Japanese media, each national newspaper has reported big each in heading such as "corporate tax rate cut," "growth strategy in the bipartisan," "deficit reduction".

Among them, a newspaper has reported "approximately" its contents in detail in the full text published format. The author it was through the eye to it, but because it has been stated to be a "summary", just in case, I tried to reread the "Full-Text" which is published in the Internet.

As a result of re-reading, I had been certainly posted on the paper most of the original text as "summary". However, because it is needless to say it "Summary", a number of points it also confirmed that has been "deleted". For example, such as the example and the beginning of the greeting of order to facilitate explanation understanding has been deleted.

However, where it seems that it is the especially important effect is, to a number has been deleted, it was forced uncomfortable. For example, location and suggest that you make the investment in education and research and development, I would in some cases not deregulation only seem a place etc. to assert that it is necessary to "tighter regulations" is the point both important , was of them has fallen is omitted for some reason.

Among them, two points felt particularly strong discomfort, suppose that it is introduced in detail.

The first point, so-called, claims about employment measures by the "New Deal policy" specific public works of legacy is the point that has been completely erased. For example, from the newspaper, "the Japanese engineers who have scored the country's infrastructure and" D rank ". The following speech content that follows the sentence had been omitted that. "

"We must be addressed to improve. The United States once to build a transcontinental railway network, rural to pull the electrical, a country that has built a highway network that connects the states. Such a work is only lined the rail and paved road isn't it.
The past two years, we have started the reconstruction work of the 21st century. This means a business that gives the work thousands of to the decline was the construction industry. Tonight, I propose to double the these efforts.
To repair a broken nearly roads and bridges are to shed many more people to work. It ensures salary and private investment for the, you want to choose the best business for the economy not for the politicians. "

This place is a place that declares that to promote job creation through the so-called public works. Of course, before Obama this claim,
"The world is changed, many people received a pain. Factory windows are closed, there is a store that was closed on the street. And I was or decrease is unemployed or salary, the rule has been changed in the middle of the game I heard the frustration of feels citizen "
"The degree of advancing these criteria (author Note: The US economy overall growth) not be measured only in the United States of advancing the success of our people, and employment that people can be obtained, as measured by a standard of living that employment brings.."
While using words like, it is to emphasize the need for "employment measures". But somehow, as well as also these statements also previous description, is had gone been deleted.

In other words, as long as you read the original text, Obama has a former loose "improvement of the unemployment rate," belt president the same kind of awareness, the measures that the same kind of "employment creation through public works", one of the economic measures it is the has implemented the capital as a pillar. But it is not only not been reported in the major newspapers of the article, it is to have gone missing To comfortably from "nearly the gist of the full text published".

In addition to the above, Obama has continued to, such as the following speech.

"We because can create jobs in the country if enhance was. Exports set a goal to double exports by 2014. Already exports are increasing. Recently, 250 000 in the United States between India and China signed an agreement that leads to job creation of people. Last month, 70,000 Americans were South Korea and the final agreement on free trade agreements to support employment. "

In other words, Obama is that it is St. promote clearly intended to free trade of the "export growth", yet the purpose of the export increase is're clearly claimed that "job security" is an object. Therefore, even just read this part, the TPP, which is now making noise in Japan, the United States is "domestic employment measures" the ultimate or not than merely came approached as a target, presumed to be satisfied that it would be that. Unfortunately, this point also To comfortably, have gone missing from the "gist" of the newspaper. This is, I felt a great sense of discomfort, was the second point.

In other words, Obama, as one of the particularly important among the various claims, "and public works for employment measures, free trade but to carry out the increase of exports by promoting" the fact that, since it is clearly declared it is, but this clear declaration, from the coverage of Japan, is the they've almost erased its appearance.

These whether any intention to "delete" is interposed, or by chance the way of knowing whether it was so, I do not have. However, at least so it was "Delete" is a and such as "cautious against free trade promotion" (in today no longer able to be most neglected) arouse possibilities in or are numbered public opinion "promotion theory of employment measures by fiscal stimulus." "pluck" that this is what is, no doubt.

---- In any event, by simply touching the information being disseminated in the general market, the neat it is difficult to obtain accurate information and that many people are to stand a mistake that seems It is there.
That is why, in order to obtain a neat information, either pay efforts to try to touch the primary information as possible, or is the determine whether there where a reliable "streaks" is insight is demanded. Although there is in anything tough talk, and whether we like it or not, we, the fact that he has been living exactly in such a society now, it is the must know.

By the way, State of the Union speech text of President Obama, you can read in the article of the following WSJ.

"Of US President Barack Obama 2011 State of the Union speech manuscript (English)
http://jp.wsj.com/US/Politics/node_176161 "

Where the problem is less than or equal to.

"We have to do better. America is the nation that built the transcontinental railroad, brought electricity to rural communities, and constructed the interstate highway system. The jobs created by these projects did not just come from laying down tracks or pavement. They came from businesses that opened near a town's new train station or the new off-ramp.
Over the last two years, we have begun rebuilding for the 21st century, a project that has meant thousands of good jobs for the hard-hit construction industry. Tonight, I'm proposing that we redouble these efforts.
We will put more Americans to work repairing crumbling roads and bridges. We will make sure this is fully paid for, attract private investment, and pick projects based on what's best for the economy, not politicians. "

"To help businesses sell more products abroad, we set a goal of doubling our exports by 2014 -.. Because the more we export, the more jobs we create at home Already, our exports are up Recently, we signed agreements with India and China that will support more than 250,000 jobs in the United States. And last month, we finalized a trade agreement with South Korea that will support at least 70,000 American jobs. "

In short, the United States (or rather the Obama administration), the public business "to repair the broken nearly roads and bridges" in such as "give the work of thousands in the construction industry" and, from doubling (2010 exports in 2014 When) the cell that has been told in this blog, or in the "Japanese Grand Design" and that Watakushi wrote as things to do in Japan, etc., we are not trying to implement as it is.
This is because, the United States is promoting a common deflation measures that "package of monetary and fiscal policy", because the public business is a major pillar of the fiscal stimulus in order that. At the same time, in order to improve the American employment, it robs the "external demand" mercilessly by, it is not to be declared.

A "strategy that can be referred to Japan also greatly," "correct strategy for American national interests" and of this kind, the domestic media is a translation was silence.
In other words, for the Japanese part of the people, the United States "- by me to accept more and more exports of Japan," "Nante public business, it ~ not increase" It is a story that inconvenient If it is not style that.
