Transcription
TRANSCRIPTION: As a nation two hundred and twelve years old. We're very young but we're getting out of shape. Instead of being the world champions in international markets. We're now second or third. Instead of leading the world in education were six of seventh. Instead of people owing us we owe them. How did we let this happen? Well I think instead of looking for new answers we want with the old ones. Instead of doing the right thing. We began doing the easy thing. And now we're in danger of falling behind. I'm not going to let that happen. I won't let our proud Young Nation spend the next four years sitting on the couch. I believe the best America is yet to come.
