Today at Georgetown University, President Obama sat down with Harvard professor Robert Putnam and American Enterprise Institute president Arthur Brooks to share his views on poverty in America and what we can do to ensure every American — no matter who they are, where they come from, or where they live — has access to the opportunities they deserve.
The conversation, hosted by the Washington Post’s E.J. Dionne, touched on economic solutions that can broaden opportunity, the political will to support initiatives that expand those opportunities, and the minority communities that are disproportionately impacted by the decision — or failure — to make those investments. The President also offered his candid and personal views on how growing up without a father shaped how he sees these issues today.
Check out the top three highlights from the conversation here:
It is crucial that insurance companies provide all the benefits that women deserve under the Affordable Care Act, at no cost or inconvenience. So this week, the Obama administration took steps to eliminate any ambiguity around the reforms the ACA calls…
This morning, Jerry Abramson, Director of Intergovernmental Affairs here at the White House, sent the following message to the White House email list.
Abramson says that the tensions that have recently erupted in communities such as Ferguson and Baltimore are not solely tied to policing, but are also linked to the lack of economic opportunity. He also details a number of the efforts that President Obama is taking to expand opportunity for more Americans.
Make sure to tune in today at 11:30 a.m. ET to watch the President’s discussion at Georgetown University about poverty and opportunity — and share with us how these issues are playing out in your own community, and how you think we can continue expanding opportunity for more Americans. (And if you didn’t get the email, sign up for updates here.)
From Ferguson and Staten Island to North Charleston and Baltimore, our nation has been moved — to conversation and debate, protest and action — by images of tragic encounters between law enforcement and the communities they serve.
But as the President has made clear, these issues are not new, and every mayor (or former mayor, like me) can attest that what we are witnessing in cities across America is not only about policing.
This is also about opportunity.
Everyone should be empowered by the country they call home. Unfortunately, in America, too many young people are limited by the zip code into which they are born. The President doesn’t treat this conversation as one to be had only every few months surrounding the latest tragedy captured on camera and replayed on the news.

When Sarah M. from Antelope, CA turned 26, she was no longer covered under her family’s health insurance plan. She then got a job that gave her a “limited” health care plan, with a care coverage limit of $10,000.
When Sarah lost that limited coverage, she applied for Covered California and enrolled in Medi-Cal coverage.
Shortly after getting covered under Medi-Cal, Sarah got a pap smear, which came back irregular. The follow-up biopsy revealed that Sarah had cervical cancer. Luckily, because she was still in the pre-cancer stage, the doctors were able to remove the abnormal cells.
“If you had not created Obamacare, I would never have caught it early, and would likely be suffering,” Sarah wrote the President this past February. She says that the law “saved my life from cancer. I did not have to have chemotherapy and expensive bills to manage my care, because of you.”
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you have done.”
For defenders of President Obama, Seymour Hersh’s report is particularly annoying because it questions the first account of the operation revealed to the world by the commander-in-chief. That forced administration officials to launch a hasty effort to back up the details released by the president.
