00:00:22,722 --> 00:00:24,162
The President: Every inch
of what

13
00:00:24,157 --> 00:00:27,827
we've had to work against, a
lock-stemmed opposition

14
00:00:27,827 --> 00:00:32,197
that is opposed to everything we
do, but it was worth it.

15
00:00:32,198 --> 00:00:34,738
Every gray hair
is worth it.

16
00:00:35,001 --> 00:00:36,301

in middle class families
here in America.

24
00:00:49,416 --> 00:00:51,656
On Tuesday, the president,
his senior staff,

25
00:00:51,651 --> 00:00:54,451

00:01:47,273 --> 00:01:48,473
to students, young
professionals

50
00:01:48,475 --> 00:01:52,145
and civil society leaders at the
Nordea Concert Hall.

51
00:01:52,145 --> 00:01:54,145
Back at the airport, the
last stop

52
00:01:54,147 --> 00:01:55,147
in the day in Estonia

53
00:01:55,148 --> 00:01:57,148

55
00:01:59,152 --> 00:02:01,352
Then it was time to fly
west to Newport, Wales,

56
00:02:01,354 --> 00:02:03,394
in advance of the next day's
big event,

57
00:02:03,389 --> 00:02:04,959
the NATO Summit.

58
00:02:04,958 --> 00:02:08,628
Goodbye Estonia, and
hello magic isle.

59
00:02:08,628 --> 00:02:10,628
If it's Thursday,
it must be Wales.

60
00:02:10,630 --> 00:02:12,630
The president started the
day by visiting

61
00:02:12,632 --> 00:02:13,632

62
00:02:13,633 --> 00:02:14,873

63
00:02:15,201 --> 00:02:16,371

young man right here.

64
00:02:16,569 --> 00:02:17,909

it feel like being

65
00:02:17,904 --> 00:02:19,874
the president of the
United States?

66
00:02:20,106 --> 00:02:21,976
The President: Look,
it's interesting.

67
00:02:21,975 --> 00:02:25,015
And when you meeting
people that you've

68
00:02:25,011 --> 00:02:27,311
helped, then you really feel good.

69
00:02:27,313 --> 00:02:29,653
I have a chance to help
other people as opposed

70
00:02:29,649 --> 00:02:31,419
to just doing something
for myself.

71
00:02:31,417 --> 00:02:34,217
That gives me the
most satisfaction.

72
00:02:34,487 --> 00:02:35,357
Narrator: At NATO, the
president

73
00:02:35,355 --> 00:02:37,855
met with allied leaders for a
session on ending

74
00:02:37,857 --> 00:02:38,957
the War in Afghanistan.

75
00:02:38,958 --> 00:02:41,158
The president's described
NATO as the most powerful

76
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,400
and important alliance
in world history.

77
00:02:43,396 --> 00:02:45,366
He has worked to cultivate
strong military

78
00:02:45,365 --> 00:02:47,505
and diplomatic relationships
with our NATO allies

79
00:02:47,500 --> 00:02:50,040
in a way that promotes peace
around the world

80
00:02:50,036 --> 00:02:51,606
and strengthens the security

81
00:02:51,604 --> 00:02:53,604
of the United States of America.

82
00:02:53,606 --> 00:02:55,606
This year's meeting
presented an important

83
00:02:55,608 --> 00:02:57,608
opportunity for the
president to continue

84
00:02:57,610 --> 00:02:59,610
to lead the international
community's coordinated

85
00:02:59,612 --> 00:03:01,612
response to a range of
urgent situations

86
00:03:01,614 --> 00:03:03,614
around the globe, including the
expansion

87
00:03:03,616 --> 00:03:05,786
of violent extremism in
the Arab world.

88
00:03:05,785 --> 00:03:07,825
And with that, we bid you
a fond farewell

89
00:03:07,820 --> 00:03:09,960
until next week, when we'll see
you all stateside.

90
00:03:09,956 --> 00:03:11,956
