Obama said it was essential the US keep spending money on public health aid in developing countries and chastising those who have opposed it.
'I have no higher priority than keeping the American people safe. I think I've done a very good job during the course of these last -- close to six years doing so,' he said in defending his policies overall.
英国《每日邮报》9月7日报道,美国记者福利8月间遭伊斯兰国(IS)恐怖分子斩首,美国总统奥巴马当时正在度假,他公开谴责这一暴行后,随即赶往高球场挥杆。奥巴马7日接受采访时承认这样做很不应该。
他对美国国家广播公司(NBC)节目《会晤资讯界》主持人查克·托德表示,“演戏也是总统工作的一部分,但我天生不擅长这个,但演戏确实很重要,我也很在意。”
他补充道:“我本应该料想到打高尔夫的后果。”
在福利遇害时,奥巴马正在玛莎葡萄园岛度假。在8月21日,他因去打高尔夫而受到强烈批评。奥巴马称,对于福利的死也“悲痛万分”。在和福利家人交谈时,也不能自已,悲伤落泪。
