October 2, 2013 Obama Sets Conditions for Talks: Pass Funding and Raise Debt Ceiling By JACKIE CALMES and JONATHAN WEISMAN WASHINGTON — In their first meeting since a budget impasse shuttered many federal operations, President Obama told Republican leaders on Wednesday that he would negotiate with them only after they agreed to the funding needed to reopen the government and also to an essential increase in the nation’s debt limit, without add-ons. The president’s position reflected the White House view that the Republicans’ strategy is failing. His meeting with Congressional leaders, just over an hour long, ended without any resolution. As they left, Republican and Democratic leaders separately reiterated their contrary positions to waiting reporters. The House speaker, John A. Boehner, Republican of Ohio, said Mr. Obama “will not negotiate,” while the Senate majority leader, Harry Reid, Democrat of Nevada, said Democrats would agree to spending at levels already passed by the House. “My friend John Boehner cannot take ‘yes’ for an answer,” Mr. Reid said. The meeting was the first time that the president linked the two actions that he and a divided Congress are fighting over this month: a budget for the fiscal year that began on Tuesday and an increase in the debt ceiling by Oct. 17, when the Treasury Department will otherwise breach its authority to borrow the money necessary to cover the nation’s existing obligations to citizens, contractors and creditors.

２０１３年１０月２日 オバマ大統領、協議の条件を設定：暫定予算案の通過と債務上限の引き上げを求める 文：ジャッキー・カームズ及びジョナサン・ワイズマン ワシントン ― 予算案が行き詰ったために多くの連邦の機能が停止して以来最初の会談において、オバマ大統領は、共和党の主だった議員に、政府機関再開に必要な暫定予算、及び、絶対必要な国家の債務上限引き上げに彼らが条件を付けずに同意した後であれば彼らと交渉すると、水曜日に告げました。 大統領の立場は、共和党の戦略が失敗すると言うホワイトハウスの見方を反映したものでした。大統領と議会の有力議員との会談は、一時間余りで、なんらの決定に至らないまま終わりました。 出てくると、共和党と民主党の主だった議員は、待ち構えていた報道陣に彼らの正反対の立場をそれぞれ別に何度も繰り返しました。オハイオ州選出の共和党議員で米国下院議長のジョン・ベイナー氏は、オバマ大統領は「交渉するつもりがない」のだと語りました、他方、上院の多数派のリーダーであるネバダ州選出の民主党議員ハリー・レイド氏は、下院がすでに通過させた水準での歳出に民主党が同意するだろうと語りました。「友人のジョン・ベイナー議員は、首を縦に振ることはできないのです。」と、レイド氏は、語りました。 この会談で、初めて、大統領と分裂した議会が、今月、論戦を繰り返している二つの処置を大統領は結び付けました：すなわち、火曜日から始まる会計年度の予算と１０月１７日までに債務上限引き上げる２つの処置です、１０月１７日には、上手く行かなければ、財務省は、国民、契約者、債権者に対する既存の国家としての義務を果たすために必要な資金を財務省の権限に違反して借りることになります。

Perhaps the lack of a border sense of alarm is not all that surprising when President Obama, Senator Dianne Feinstein, the Democratic chairwoman of the Intelligence Committee, and intelligence officials insist that such surveillance is crucial to the nation’s antiterrorism efforts.

On Day of Symbolism, Honoring Kennedy, and Successor He Inspired By MARK LANDLER WASHINGTON — Standing wordlessly before a flickering flame, their faces etched in the sunlight slanting through a canopy of thinning trees, two Democratic presidents came together Wednesday at Arlington National Cemetery to honor the memory of a third. President Obama and former President Bill Clinton walked up a hillside to the grave of John F. Kennedy, where, joined by Michelle Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton, they laid a wreath to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Kennedy’s death by an assassin’s bullet. A military bugler called out taps, the mournful notes resounding on a crisp, clear autumn day that seemed a softer echo of the stark grandeur of the state funeral on Nov. 25, 1963. It was the emotional highlight of a day laden with symbolism, uniting Democratic presidents past, present and possibly future, to pay tribute to a beloved predecessor, a leader whose legacy and family played a formative role in the lives of Mr. Obama and Mr. Clinton. The president and the former president escorted Ethel Kennedy to the grave site. Later, they mingled with members of the Kennedy family. In timing that scarcely seemed accidental, Caroline Kennedy, who recently took up her post as Mr. Obama’s ambassador to Japan, had left for Tokyo only days before this week’s milestone.

Many of the new Iraqi leaders, including the president, Sheik Yawar, said they would insist that Iraqis be given "full sovereignty," meaning that the government could do more or less whatever it wanted. And they said talks would begin immediately on the influence over American combat operations. But in more subdued moments, some Iraqi leaders said they realized that the presence of more than 100,000 foreign troops would make that goal difficult to achieve. 上記のうち But in more subdued moments, はどう訳せばよいのですか？

Surveillance: A Threat to Democracy A new Washington Post-Pew Research Center poll found that a majority of Americans are untroubled by revelations about the National Security Agency’s dragnet collection of the phone records of millions of citizens, without any individual suspicion and regardless of any connection to a counterterrorism investigation. Perhaps the lack of a broader sense of alarm is not all that surprising when President Obama, Senator Dianne Feinstein, the Democratic chairwoman of the Intelligence Committee, and intelligence officials insist that such surveillance is crucial to the nation’s antiterrorism efforts. But Americans should not be fooled by political leaders putting forward a false choice. The issue is not whether the government should vigorously pursue terrorists. The question is whether the security goals can be achieved by less-intrusive or sweeping means, without trampling on democratic freedoms and basic rights. Far too little has been said on this question by the White House or Congress in their defense of the N.S.A.’s dragnet. The surreptitious collection of “metadata” — every bit of information about every phone call except the word-by-word content of conversations — fundamentally alters the relationship between individuals and their government

以下はオバマの外交政策を批判する論評の結論部分です。第２文の意味が分かりません。和訳して頂けないでしょうか。よろしくお願いします。 Ours is still an American world, but it is presided over by a president who doesn't believe in American power. The best lack all conviction while the worst are filled with passionate intensity—and a sense that the moment is theirs to seize. We know how that story ended.

By THE EDITORIAL BOARD Nelson Mandela, who died on Thursday at age 95, fully deserved the legendary stature he enjoyed around the world for the last quarter-century of his life. He was one of the most extraordinary liberation leaders Africa, or any other continent, ever produced. Not only did he lead his people to triumph over the deeply entrenched system of apartheid that enforced racial segregation in every area of South African life; he achieved this victory without the blood bath so many had predicted and feared. And, as South Africa’s first president elected by the full democratic franchise of all its people, he presided over a landmark Truth and Reconciliation process that finally allowed apartheid’s victims a measure of official recognition and acknowledgment of their suffering. Mr. Mandela’s enormous strength of character steeled him for his long struggle and ultimate victory over apartheid. Even deeper resources of political wisdom and courage steered him toward the course of constructive reconciliation over destructive vengeance. Mr. Mandela did not, of course, achieve all of this on his own. The movement he led, the African National Congress, was sustained by lesser-known activists and martyrs, many of whom did not live to see the day of victory they had dreamed of for so long. And the country’s peaceful transition owes a huge debt to the apartheid era’s last white president, F. W. de Klerk, who in 1990 ordered an end to Mr. Mandela’s 27-year imprisonment and negotiated with him and others the terms of the political transition. Three years later, Mr. Mandela and Mr. de Klerk shared the Nobel Peace Prize.

'Unequal' US sees Occupy Wall Street clashes. After clashes in Oakland on Tuesday that left an Iraq war veteran in a critical condition, Mayor Jean Quan held a press conference on Wednesday to announce that the plaza would be open to protesting but not to camping. Many Occupy Wall Street protesters say they are making a stand against corporate greed and income inequality in the US. After tax income increased by 275% for the wealthiest 1% of Americans but by just 18% for the poorest 20%, the report said. In addition, the report revealed that in 2005-2007, the years immediately preceding the financial crisis, the top 20% of the population earned more after-tax income than the entire bottom 80%. Democratic House Representative Sander Levin said the findings confirm what Americans already knew. "The rules have been changed by the unfair tax policies of the last decade and our tax code is doing less to level the playing field than it was in the past." The poll, conducted by the New York Times and CBS News, shows distrust of government is at its highest level ever. Almost half of those asked said they thought the sentiment behind the Occupy Wall Street protests reflected the views of most Americans. Some 28% of respondents believe the policies of President Barack Obama favour the rich, although a strong majority - 69% - said that was the effect of Republican policies.
