What was President Obama doing in Korea?

Today, President Obama heads home from South Korea -- after a busy three days of diplomatic meetings and discussions of nuclear security.

This is the President's third official visit to South Korea, and as he pointed out, he's been to Seoul more than any other capital. That fact obviously to speaks the strength of the political relationship between our two nations, but it also highlights our growing economic ties.

That's why President Obama worked so hard to pass the U.S.-Korea Trade Agreement -- which will help to support an estimated 70,000 jobs in the years ahead and increase U.S. GDP by at least $11 billion due to increased exports of goods.

The White House Monday, March 26, 2012

What is Ethics.gov?

At the United Nations General Assembly in September 2010, President Obama said: "The common thread of progress is the principle that government is accountable to its citizens." A government, however, is only truly accountable to its citizens when it is transparent and subject to citizens' direct participation.

That's why, on the President's first day in office, he signed the Memorandum on Transparency and Open Government -- a document that has helped to guide the federal government into a new era of openness and public engagement. The administration has created Data.gov to increase public access to government information, worked to track the federal government's use of federal dollars with websites like Recovery.gov and USASpending.gov, introduced the "We the People" platform to give all Americans an opportunity to petition the government on a range of issues affecting our nation, and launched an unprecedented effort to cut waste and streamline government operations.

Now, the President is taking yet another step that ensures an unprecedented level of openness in government. President Obama promised he would "create a centralized Internet database of lobbying reports, ethics records, and campaign finance filings in a searchable, sortable, and downloadable format."

With the launch of Ethics.gov, he's delivering on that promise. Here's a short video on how the site works:

In a single, user-friendly format, anyone can access and search the records of seven different datasets:

  • White House Visitor Records
  • Office of Government Ethics Travel Reports
  • Lobbying Disclosure Act Data
  • Department of Justice Foreign Agents Registration Act Data
  • Federal Election Commission Individual Contribution Reports
  • Federal Election Commission Candidate Reports
  • Federal Election Commission Committee Reports

Never before has this measure of government-verified data been available and so easily searchable in a centralized location.

Ethics.gov takes an important step to increase transparency and accountability. This is good for government and good for the American people.

Ending Fossil Fuel Subsidies

Earlier this month, President Obama called on Congress to repeal the $4 billion annual subsidies we give to oil companies, and they are scheduled to vote on doing so today. Investing in an all-of-the-above energy strategy requires the putting the right incentives in place.

Instead of subsidizing the fossil fuels of the last century by giving away $4 billion of taxpayer money each year to oil companies that are more profitable than ever, we should be investing in a clean energy future -- especially when gas prices are high and drivers, whose budgets are already stretched thin, are feeling the pain at the pump.

    Weekly Address: President Obama Says House Must Pass Bipartisan Transportation Bill

    President Obama is calling on the House of Representatives to pass a bipartisan transportation bill that would repair crumbling roads and bridges and support construction jobs in communities all across America. According to a new report, 90 percent of these construction jobs are middle class jobs. The Senate passed the bill with the support of Democrats and Republicans because if the bill stalls in Congress then constructions sites will go idle, workers will have to go home, and our economy will take a hit.

    Weekly Wrap Up

    Your quick look at this week on WhiteHouse.gov:

    A Pint with the President: On Saturday afternoon, the President left the White House and grabbed a pint of Guinness in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day at the Dubliner, an Irish pub near the U.S. Capitol in Washington, DC.

    A Season of New Beginnings: In a video message Tuesday, President Obama sent his best wishes to all of those who are celebrating Nowruz around the world – a holiday when many Iranian families come together to celebrate the hope that comes with renewal. Noting the continued tension between the two countries, the President reaffirmed that “there is no reason for the United States and Iran to be divided from another.”

    A Timely Visit from Taoiseach Enda Kenny: On Tuesday, President Obama welcomed Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny to the White House. Besides discussions on the economy and the benefits of trade, commerce, and investment between the two countries, the Taoiseach’s stay in Washington included breakfast at the Naval Observatory, a St. Patrick’s Day lunch at the United States Capitol and a St. Patrick’s Day reception in the East Room hosted by the President and the First Lady.

    Solar Power in the Silver State: The President headed west to discuss energy, making his first stop in Boulder City, Nevada at the Copper Mountain Solar 1 Facility – the largest photovoltaic plant in the country, with nearly one million solar panels powering 17,000 homes. Increasing the use of solar power is one piece of President Obama’s strategy to develop every available source of American-made energy – thereby reducing our dependence on foreign oil, creating jobs, and keeping our environment clean.

    Domestic Oil Production on Second Stop: Following his trip to Nevada, the President proceeded to the Maljamar Cooperative Association located on federal lands outside of Maljamar, New Mexico – a place that is home to more than 70 active drilling rigs. Drilling is one part of an all-of-the-above strategy for American energy, and the President is committed to expanding oil and gas production. Domestic oil production has increased each year he has been in office and is currently at an eight year high.

    Sooners’ Energy Production: On Thursday, the President visited an oil town that is a major hub for connecting our nation’s crude oil supply with refineries along the Gulf Coast – Cushing, Oklahoma – where he discussed the Administration’s commitment to expanding domestic oil and gas production by modernizing pipeline infrastructure and expanding its ability to deliver oil to refineries and consumers around the country.

    The Buckeye Bullet: The final stop on the President’s energy tour was at Ohio State University, which is home to the Center for Automotive Research and the Buckeye Bullet – an electric car that has already traveled at speeds in excess of 300 miles per hour. “I am not going to cede the wind and solar and advanced battery industries to countries like China and Germany that are making those investments,” the President affirmed. “I want those technologies developed and manufactured here in Ohio, here in the Midwest, here in America.”

    The Affordable Care Act Turns Two: Two years ago, President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act, giving hardworking, middle-class families the health care they deserve. Though not fully implemented until 2014, the law is already making a real difference in many people’s lives.
