DANIEL PINK: I need to make a[br]confession at the outset here.

0:00:06.840,0:00:12.679
Um, little over 20 years ago[br]I did something that I regret,

0:00:12.679,0:00:16.449
something that I am not[br]particularly proud of, something

0:00:16.449,0:00:20.153
that in many ways I wish no one[br]would ever know but that here

0:00:20.153,0:00:22.155
I feel kind of obliged to reveal.

OBAMA: We the People, in[br]order to form a more perfect

0:00:59.559,0:01:06.699
union, 221 years ago in a hall[br]that still stands across

0:01:06.699,0:01:09.602
the street a group of men[br]gathered and with

0:01:09.602,0:01:11.971
these simple words[br]launched America's

Let me tell you something.

0:01:30.623,0:01:35.595

RHETORICAL QUESTION

0:01:51.711,0:01:55.849
OBAMA: When I spoke here[br]last winter this nation was

0:01:55.849,0:02:00.653
facing the worst economic crisis[br]since the Great Depression.

0:02:00.653,0:02:06.493
We were losing an average of[br]700,000 jobs per month,

0:02:06.493,0:02:09.795
credit was frozen, and[br]our financial system was on

0:02:09.795,0:02:12.765
the verge of collapse.

0:02:12.765,0:02:16.236
As any American who is still[br]looking for work or a way to pay

0:02:16.236,0:02:19.072
their bills will tell you,[br]we are by no means

0:02:19.072,0:02:21.174
out of the woods.

0:02:21.174,0:02:27.680
A full and vibrant recovery is[br]still many months away, and

0:02:27.680,0:02:31.684
I will not let up until those[br]Americans who seek jobs

0:02:31.684,0:02:33.019
can find them.
