Weekly Address: The President Wishes America's Dads a Happy Father's Day
In this week's address, President Obama wished America's dads a happy Father's Day and underscored the crucial role fathers play in our society. The President encouraged Americans to support those living without a father figure through initiatives like My Brother's Keeper.
He also highlighted actions he is taking on behalf of hardworking, responsible dads and moms, such as hosting the first-ever White House Working Families Summit later this month, and called on Congress to do its part to help offer more parents the chance to work hard and provide for their families.

"We don't settle. We outwork. We out-innovate. We out-hustle the competition."
On Wednesday, President Obama delivered the commencement address at Worcester Technical High School and congratulated the graduates on their impressive accomplishments. In the President's remarks, he reminded them that none of their success could have happened without someone believing in them -- and because of that, he stressed the importance of giving back to their communities.
The President closed his commencement address optimistic for the future of our country and our competitive spirit:
When I meet young people like you I am absolutely certain we are not just going to out-compete the rest of the world, we are going to win because of you. Because we are Americans, that's what we do. We don't settle. We outwork. We out-innovate. We out-hustle the competition. And when we do, nobody can beat us.

Making College Affordable
On Monday, President Obama took another step to expand opportunity for all Americans, by making student loan debt more affordable and manageable to repay. The President signed a memorandum directing the Secretary of Education to propose regulations that would allow nearly 5 million federal direct student loan borrowers the opportunity to cap their student loan payments at 10 percent of their income.
This is one of many efforts in the President's year of action -- a year in which he has already taken more than 20 steps to help the middle class and expand opportunity for all.
