Americans back to work.

12
00:00:29,567 --> 00:00:30,667
The President:
In the short-term,

13
00:00:30,667 --> 00:00:34,237
we expect these projects to
create about 5,000 construction

14
00:00:34,233 --> 00:00:36,933
and installation jobs
around the country.

15
00:00:36,934 --> 00:00:39,304
And once we emerge from
the immediate crisis,

16
00:00:39,300 --> 00:00:42,400
the long-term economic gains to
communities that have been left

17
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,730
behind in the digital
age will be immeasurable.

Though his week was
focused on the economy,

26
00:01:04,667 --> 00:01:07,197
the President welcomed Israeli

27
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,000

and the peace process

30
00:01:14,500 --> 00:01:17,030
On Wednesday, July 7th,
President Obama announced

31
00:01:17,033 --> 00:01:20,203
the 18 members of his Export
Council, a group of business and

32
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,300
labor leaders who will offer the
President their expertise on how

33
00:01:23,300 --> 00:01:26,970
best to promote American
exports, jobs and growth.

34
00:01:26,967 --> 00:01:29,037
The President:
In my State of
the Union Address,

35
00:01:29,033 --> 00:01:31,863
I set a goal for America.

36
00:01:31,867 --> 00:01:35,137
Over the next five years, we
will double our exports of goods

37
00:01:35,133 --> 00:01:37,563
and services around the world.

38
00:01:37,567 --> 00:01:40,597
An increase that will boost
economic growth and support

39
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:45,370
millions of American jobs in a
manner that is deficit friendly.

40
00:01:45,367 --> 00:01:47,367
Narrator:
On Thursday, the President
was again talking jobs and

41
00:01:47,367 --> 00:01:49,897
the economy traveling
to Kansas City, Missouri,

42
00:01:49,900 --> 00:01:51,830
to visit Smith
Electric Vehicles,

43
00:01:51,834 --> 00:01:54,004
a clean energy company
that is expanding thanks

44
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,270
to the Recovery Act.

45
00:01:55,266 --> 00:01:57,766
While there, he took a tour
and spoke with workers.

46
00:01:57,767 --> 00:02:00,237
Chawn Arnold:
The motor is basically the
equivalent of your engine

47
00:02:00,233 --> 00:02:01,163
in your car.

48
00:02:01,166 --> 00:02:03,036
The President:
Right.

49
00:02:03,033 --> 00:02:06,303
Chawn:
It's got about 165 horsepower,

50
00:02:06,300 --> 00:02:11,470
but 480-foot pounds of torque
so that's like a huge V8.

51
00:02:11,467 --> 00:02:12,097
The President:
Great.

52
00:02:12,100 --> 00:02:14,400
Narrator:
President Obama then spoke
about how new clean energy

53
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,200
companies like Smith Electric
are crucial to our nation's

54
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:18,800
long-term prosperity.

55
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,400
The President:
That's how we're going to
take charge of our destiny.

56
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,570
That's how we create jobs
and create lasting growth.

57
00:02:24,567 --> 00:02:29,267
That's how we ensure that
America doesn't just limp along,

58
00:02:29,266 --> 00:02:33,066
maybe recover to where we
were before, but instead,

59
00:02:33,066 --> 00:02:37,296
that we'll prosper, that
this nation leads the

60
00:02:37,300 --> 00:02:38,970
industries of the future.

61
00:02:38,967 --> 00:02:40,737
