As we gather here tonight, the state of our Union is strong, but our economy is troubled. For too many of our fellow citizens farmers, steel and auto workers, lumbermen, black teenagers, working mothers this is a painful period. We must all do everything in our power to bring their ordeal to an end.

What we do and say here will make all the difference to autoworkers in Detroit, lumberjacks in the Northwest, steelworkers in Steubenville who are in the unemployment lines; to black teenagers in Newark and Chicago; to hard-pressed farmers and small businessmen; and to millions of everyday Americans who harbor the simple wish of a safe and financially secure future for their children.

We can help teenagers, who have the highest unemployment rate, find summer jobs, so they can know the pride of work and have confidence in their futures.

She wistfully thought of the statues of saints and patron saints that had their home warming familiarity. Then he approached her. "Hi. Sorry about everything. Teenagers, right? We like parties. I didn't have permission and things got out of control. Are you angry?" She noticed how muscular he now was. For the first time she felt intimidated by it, seated there as weakened as she was.

I'm directing the FBI and other investigative agencies to target gangs that involve juveniles in violent crime, and to seek authority to prosecute as adults teenagers who maim and kill like adults. And I challenge local housing authorities and tenant associations: Criminal gang members and drug dealers are destroying the lives of decent tenants.
