:24:00
Don't touch anything on that desk.
:24:06
What's up?
:24:08
It must be the vice-president.
:24:09
The ex-vice-president.
He'll be a prison reformer soon.
:24:14
They're coming. Let's go.
:24:22
Good luck.
:24:31
Thanks for coming on such short notice.
:24:37
I'd like to begin
with an announcement that...
:24:42
...may come as a surprise for you.
:24:44
I've...
:24:46
...asked Bob Alexander to resign
as White House chief of staff.
:24:52
Over the last months, Bob and I
came to believe in different things.
:24:57
He thinks this country's fine and we
should go about doing business as usual.
:25:04
I just don't feel that way.
:25:07
Not anymore.
:25:09
Because things aren't fine.
:25:12
We've got so many problems,
we don't want to look at them anymore.
:25:15
They blend together into a big noise...
:25:19
...and soon we can't hear ourselves think.
:25:22
But that's not even the worst part.
:25:24
The worst part is...
:25:26
...we feel we can't do anything about it.
:25:31
And that's a tragedy...
:25:33
...because we can.
:25:37
We don't know where to start;
maybe that's what it is.
:25:41
But I have an idea...
:25:43
...of where we can start.
:25:48
From today...
:25:51
...l'm making it the responsibility
of this government...
:25:54
...to find a job for every American
who wants one.
