00:00:50,633 So here's a little wrap up of his viaje en Español. 19 00:00:50,633 --> 00:01:09,266 Female Narrator: (speaking Spanish) 20 00:01:09,266 --> 00:01:12,000 The President: We're so grateful to Mexican Americans in every segment of 21 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,233 our society for teaching our children, 22 00:01:14,233 --> 00:01:16,834 and running our companies, and serving with honor in our 23 00:01:16,834 --> 00:01:19,967 military, and making breakthroughs in science. 24 00:01:19,967 --> 00:01:28,734 Female Narrator: (speaking Spanish) 25 00:01:28,734 --> 00:01:29,967 The President:

00:01:51,399 Female Narrator: (speaking Spanish) 30 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,367 The President: If there are smart engineers and young people and scientists who 31 00:01:55,367 --> 00:01:58,700 are looking to immigrate to the United States from Costa Rica, 32 00:01:58,700 --> 00:02:03,166 then we want them to know that we're a nation of immigrants, 33 00:02:03,166 --> 00:02:06,567 but we want to make sure that the legal process is in place so 34 00:02:06,567 --> 00:02:10,100 that it's easier and simpler, but also more effective in 35 00:02:10,100 --> 00:02:12,767 managing the legal immigration process. 36 00:02:12,767 --> 00:02:42,033 Female Narrator: (speaking Spanish) 37 00:02:42,033 --> 00:02:46,867 The President: The origination of this idea was when President Kennedy visited 38 00:02:46,867 --> 00:02:51,399 50 years ago and I think recognized at that time that 39 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:56,266 when you combine good government with a thriving free 40 00:02:56,266 --> 00:03:01,233 market, then that was an extraordinary recipe for 41 00:03:01,233 --> 00:03:03,000 opportunity for all people. 42 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:13,734 Female Narrator: (speaking Spanish) 43 00:03:13,734 --> 00:03:16,233 Narrator: On Sunday morning, the President got right back on the road, 44 00:03:16,233 --> 00:03:19,000 heading west to Rickenbacker International Airport in 45 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,734 Columbus, Ohio to visit the Ohio State University, 46 00:03:22,734 --> 00:03:26,100 where he gave the commencement address to the class of 2013 and 47 00:03:26,100 --> 00:03:29,233 imparted some words of wisdom to the graduating Buckeyes. 48 00:03:29,233 --> 00:03:34,100 The President: If you are living your life to the fullest, you will fail; 49 00:03:34,100 --> 00:03:38,934 you will stumble, you will screw up, you will fall down, 50 00:03:38,934 --> 00:03:42,133 but it will make you strong, and you'll get it right 51 00:03:42,133 --> 00:03:43,500 the next time. 52 00:03:43,500 --> 00:03:47,166 And that is not only true for your personal pursuits, 53 00:03:47,166 --> 00:03:50,000 but it's also true for the broader causes that you believe 54 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,266 in, as well. 55 00:03:51,266 --> 00:03:54,233 Narrator: On Tuesday, the new leader of the Republic of Korea, 56 00:03:54,233 --> 00:03:57,133 President Park, arrived at the White

00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:09,800 The President: All of us would benefit from a North Korea that transformed 60 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:15,100 itself, but I don't think either President Park or I are naive 61 00:04:15,100 --> 00:04:18,567 about the difficulties of that taking place, 62 00:04:18,567 --> 00:04:26,333 and we've got to see action before we can have confidence 63 00:04:26,333 --> 00:04:30,367 that that, in fact, is the path that North Korea 64 00:04:30,367 --> 00:04:31,633 intends to take. 65 00:04:31,633 --> 00:04:34,066 Narrator: Later, the President met with his Council on

executives at electric companies to take a look back at lessons 74 00:04:55,533 --> 00:04:59,200 learned in the six months since super storm Sandy caused such 75 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,000 tremendous damage across New York, New Jersey, 76 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,066 and Connecticut. 77 00:05:03,066 --> 00:05:05,433 Back at the White House, members of the Asian American and 78

President traveled to the great state of 83 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,200 Texas to kick off the series of middle class jobs and 84 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:22,533 opportunity tours. 85 00:05:22,533 --> 00:05:25,333 His first stop was Manor New Tech High School near Austin, 86 00:05:25,333 --> 00:05:29,467 Texas, a school where 99% of the students graduate and learn the 87 00:05:29,467 --> 00:05:32,900 kind of real technological skills they'll need to fill jobs 88 00:05:32,900 --> 00:05:34,767 that are available right away. 89 00:05:34,767 --> 00:05:37,834 Then, the President sauced out the situation and sat down for 90 00:05:37,834 --> 00:05:40,033 some world famous Texas barbeque. 91 00:05:40,033 --> 00:05:41,834 Meanwhile, back at the White House, 92 00:05:41,834 --> 00:05:44,600

companies like Applied Materials that stand to grow 106 00:06:16,867 --> 00:06:20,033 even faster and create more jobs if we make the kind of 107 00:06:20,033 --> 00:06:22,633 investments in advanced manufacturing that the President 108 00:06:22,633 --> 00:06:23,734 has proposed. 109 00:06:23,734 --> 00:06:26,032 To find out more information on any of these topics or to see 110 00:06:26,033 -->
