18
00:00:42,633 --> 00:00:44,303

00:00:55,367 --> 00:00:57,297

31
00:01:11,166 --> 00:01:12,636
The President: You know,
this is an on-going issue

32
00:01:12,633 --> 00:01:16,833
and, you know, for them to
see your building

33
00:01:16,834 --> 00:01:21,004
to pass laws here in the Kingdom
gives, I think,

34
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,100
people confidence in other
places where the issue may not

35
00:01:25,100 --> 00:01:26,500
always be lifted up.

36
00:01:26,500 --> 00:01:27,630

Narrator: The women were
invited to the White House

45

had on improving not only
women's rights,

47
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,270
but also America itself.

48
00:01:52,266 --> 00:01:54,366
The President brought the
Rosies to the Oval Office

49
00:01:54,367 --> 00:01:56,737
after sharing a story
of why their visit

50
00:01:56,734 --> 00:01:57,964
was personal for him.

51
00:01:57,967 --> 00:02:00,237
The President: So, to have
these ladies here

52
00:02:00,233 --> 00:02:02,763
who all remind me of my
grandmother --

53
00:02:02,767 --> 00:02:03,267
Female Speaker: Good.

54
00:02:03,266 --> 00:02:03,936
(laughter)

55
00:02:03,934 --> 00:02:06,664
The President:
-- to be able to say thank

56
00:02:06,667 --> 00:02:09,567
you to them, and in that
way, you know, also really

57
00:02:09,567 --> 00:02:12,167
saying thank you to my
grandma and so many other

58
00:02:12,166 --> 00:02:14,696
women who aren't here
today, but helped

59
00:02:14,700 --> 00:02:17,230
to win the war and open up
opportunities

60
00:02:17,233 --> 00:02:21,463
for my daughter -- my daughters.

61
00:02:21,467 --> 00:02:23,067
That's something special.

62
00:02:23,066 --> 00:02:24,836
Narrator: On Tuesday the
White House was bursting

63
00:02:24,834 --> 00:02:26,234
with a different set of
reds, whites,

64
00:02:26,233 --> 00:02:29,363
and blues as the Boston Red Sox
came for a visit.

65
00:02:29,367 --> 00:02:32,167
Fans young and old came to
pay tribute to the 2013

66
00:02:32,166 --> 00:02:33,396
World Champions.

67
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:34,930
And as he left, the
President couldn't help

68
00:02:34,934 --> 00:02:36,934
but add one more thing
to the conversation.

69
00:02:36,934 --> 00:02:37,764
The President:
White Sox next year.

70
00:02:37,767 --> 00:02:40,197

the President

71
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,300

the Rose Garden to announce

72
00:02:42,300 --> 00:02:45,930
that 7.1 million Americans
signed up for Affordable

73
00:02:45,934 --> 00:02:48,564
Health Insurance through
the Federal ACA website,

74
00:02:48,567 --> 00:02:50,237
exceeding the goal
that few thought

75
00:02:50,233 --> 00:02:52,703
the once-flawed website
could handle.

76
00:02:52,700 --> 00:02:53,570
The President: As messy as
it's been sometimes,

77
00:02:53,567 --> 00:02:58,437
as contentious as it's been
sometimes, it is progress.

78
00:02:58,433 --> 00:03:01,333
It is making sure that we
are not the only advanced

79
00:03:01,333 --> 00:03:03,733
country on Earth that
doesn't make sure

80
00:03:03,734 --> 00:03:06,634
everybody has
basic healthcare.

81
00:03:06,633 --> 00:03:08,363
Narrator: The First Lady
kicked off this West Wing

82
00:03:08,367 --> 00:03:11,337
Week Wednesday by bringing
Food Corps volunteers and

local students to her
annual spring planting

84
00:03:13,467 --> 00:03:15,767
of this year's crops in the
White House Gardens,

85
00:03:15,767 --> 00:03:18,337
including a brand new
pollinator garden.

86
00:03:18,333 --> 00:03:20,463

traveled to Ann Arbor

87
00:03:20,467 --> 00:03:21,937
to speak at the University of
Michigan

88
00:03:21,934 --> 00:03:24,404

He stopped in first at
Zingerman's,

90
00:03:25,867 --> 00:03:28,237
a local sandwich institution,
where he sat down

91
00:03:28,233 --> 00:03:29,663
for lunch with minimum
wage earners.

92
00:03:29,667 --> 00:03:30,567
The President:
What do you think?

93
00:03:30,567 --> 00:03:31,467

98
00:03:35,467 --> 00:03:35,837
Female Speaker: Yeah.

99
00:03:35,834 --> 00:03:36,904
The President: What
have you got to drink?

100
00:03:36,900 --> 00:03:38,670
You got some
good iced tea?
