Awwal 05, 1432 / April 09, 2011, SPA -- In his weekly Address, U.S. President Barack Obama discussed the importance of the bipartisan budget agreement that represents both a significant investment in the United States' future - and the largest annual spending cut in the history of the U.S. "This is good news for the American people. It means that small businesses can get the loans they need, our families can get the mortgages they applied for, folks can visit our national parks and museums, and hundreds of thousands of Americans will get their paychecks on time - including our brave men and women in uniform." President Obama used his weekly radio address on Saturday to reinforce his message, saying that "beginning to live within our means is the only way to protect the investments that will help America compete for new jobs." It's my sincere hope that we can continue to come together as we face the many difficult challenges that lie ahead - from creating jobs and growing our economy to educating our children and reducing our long-term deficits. That's our responsibility. That's what the American people expect us to do. And it's what the American people deserve.
