Wide of house for sale STORYLINE: A Canadian woman on long-term sick leave for depression said she lost her benefits because her insurance agent found photos of her on Facebook in which she appeared to be having fun. Nathalie Blanchard has been on leave from her job at IBM in Bromont, Quebec, for the last year. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation reported Saturday she was diagnosed with major depression and was receiving monthly sick-leave benefits from insurance giant Manulife. She told CBC that she suffered from anxiety attacks and depression and could not work anymore. But the payments dried up this autumn and when Blanchard called Manulife, she said she was told she was available to work because of Facebook. She said her insurance agent described several pictures Blanchard posted on Facebook, including ones showing her having a good time at a Chippendales bar show, at her birthday party and on a sun holiday. Blanchard said Manulife told her it was evidence she was no longer depressed. Blanchard is fighting to get her benefits reinstated and said her lawyer Tom Lavin was exploring what the next step should be. "Because there are no precedents it is a free for all right now and probably there are no rules or boundaries," Lavin said. Blanchard told the CBC that on her doctor's advice, she tried to have fun, including nights out at her local bar with friends and short getaways to sun destinations, as a way to forget her problems. Manulife would not comment on Blanchard's case, but did say in a written statement that they "would not deny or terminate a claim solely based on information published on Web sites such as Facebook."

Nation at Your Fingertips, The

ENGINEERS AT THE AUSTIN, TX IBM FACILITY COME UP WITH A NEW, SUPER WEATHER FORECASTING COMPUTER

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA delivers remarks to members of the Business Roundtable and answer questions. Business Roundtable Headquarters, Washington, DC. ABC POOL LIVE Part 2 QUESTION: Mr. President, again, thank you. And I know a topic near to your heart has been education for young folks, and you've spent a lot of time on this. And many of us have done things private- public partnerships. And you recently made a comment about computer science for all high school kids, which I think is an important point, because technology is such a broad topic. It will infiltrate all jobs in the future. So maybe a chance to make some comments about how you envision something like that actually taking root over the long term that we could make some progress with it -- on scale. 11:44:31 OBAMA: Well, first of all, I want to commend Ginni and IBM because you guys have done some terrific work. Anybody who wants some inspiration, go to the high school that IBM is participating in in Brooklyn where kids -- a collaboration between the public school system, the city colleges of New York, the CUNY system and IBM. And you've got kids from -- most of them, parents never went to college. A lot of them immigrant kids. And they are marching through STEM education, pre-engineering education. They're getting essentially college credits by the time they're sophomore or juniors in high school. They're able to save money because in five years in high school, they come out with an associate's degree. They then either are transferring to a four-year university with those credits, or they're starting to work with IBM because they've been apprenticing and the curriculum design has given them confidence that if they do well, they're going to be able to get a job. That model is something that we're actually looking to try to duplicate all across the country. And the good news, as I mentioned at the top, is because of the strong work that Arne Duncan has done, the strong work that a lot of governors and local communities have done to increase accountability, creativity, have high expectations for kids, bust through some of the old bureaucratic obstacles. We are seeing highest reading scores, highest math scores, highest graduation rates. And part of our goal here is to improve STEM education generally. A critical element of that is understanding this computer age that these kids are immersed. And I don't want them just to know how to use their phone to play video games; I want them to know how that phone works, and potentially code it and program it. And what's remarkable -- I'm about the age where -- I think my high school just had, like, the first coding class when I was maybe in seventh or eighth grade. But this is what -- you had, like, those cards, and it was -- and the punch cards. And now, the way these -- the tools and resources that are available for kids starting in first, second grade -- we have these science fairs and these little Girl Scout troops come in and they've coded, they've designed their own games, and -- or simulations of entire towns with people and all kinds of scenarios that they've figured out. And so it's actually something that they naturally gravitate to. We just have to start early. It's almost like a foreign language, where rather than try to catch kids when they're in tenth, eleventh, twelfth grade, they get part of the broader curriculum and incorporate it into how you're teaching math and how you're teaching science and how you're teaching social studies. That seems to be the way in which kids get most engaged. 11:48:35 So we're doing a lot of work with many of you individually as companies on this STEM education issue. We hope that you will continue to participate. You've been great partners on that front. I'll just say in closing, it's always a pleasure to be here. I want to just reiterate, as we enter into the silly season of politics, that the primary thing that is holding back a lot of potential growth, jobs, improved bottom lines, greater stability is well within our control right now, and are things that traditionally enjoyed bipartisan support -- Ex-Im Bank, getting TPP done, financing and executing on an infrastructure policy. I've had conversations with folks like Larry Fink and others about if we're open to looking at new, creative ways of financing it, but the notion that we're not doing that right now makes absolutely no sense -- investing in research and development. These are not partisan issues. There are some areas where there have traditionally been legitimate arguments between Democrats and Republicans. There are some issues -- like on environmental regulations, or financial regulations, where Jamie and I may disagree, or Nick and I may disagree. And we can have those arguments, and we probably won't convince each other on some of these things. But what I'm looking at is the low-hanging fruit that are no- brainers and that nobody here would argue with. And the notion that we're not doing them right now because -- primarily because a faction within one of our parties has gone off the rails and sees a conspiracy around everything, or simply is opposed to anything I propose even if they used to propose it, that's a problem. And I think it's very important for all of you to just step back and take a look at it, because you still have influence on at least some of those folks. And challenge them. Why wouldn't we do things that everybody knows make sense? 11:51:18 Thank you, everybody. (Applause.)

DOW 20,000 IS FINALLY HERE.
AFTER WEEKS OF CLOSE CALLS, THE DOW MADE HISTORY WEDNESDAY BY BLOWING PAST THAT KEY LEVEL FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER.
THE DOW CLIMBED 156 POINTS TO 20,069 AND WAS JOINED IN RECORD TERRITORY BY THE S&P 500 AND NASDAQ. 
PAUL LAMONICA HAS MORE FROM THE FLOOR OF THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE.

 --REPORTER PKG-AS FOLLOWS--
"History here on Wall Street. The Dow closing above 20,000 for the first time.
It actually opened above 20,000 and never looked back.
Investors are very excited about the prospect of stimulus from President Donald Trump.
You"re seeing companies like Caterpillar, Boeing, surging.
Hopes of infrastructure spending, hopes of more defense spending - two of the Dow leaders.
Tech companies are not being left behind either. Apple, Intel. All of them doing extremely well.
IBM also. And here"s the kicker: you have retailers also surging - Home Depot possibly because of an expectation of more housing recovering going on, more spending on housing by consumers as well as just a more bullish consumer in general.
How much longer can this last? That remains to be seen.
But right now investors are buying first and asking questions later.
This could push the market to even higher levels.

Cory Booker:\nI just want to say that my Biden comments were not about working across the aisle, i'm all for that it was really the way he used and evoked the word boy in a way that really struck a nerve of african americans, me as a father who used to come home from one of ibms earliest black salesmen and talk about how people use that word to demean and degrade them. Whoever the nominee for from our party is going to be, they're going to have to deal with issues of race. Especially divisions that are open wounds and have to be a healer. And if we make mistakes and we all make mistakes and are imperfect. You don't fall into a defensive crouch and shift blame to someone else. So for me what i want in any leader, whether it's a senator or governor, somebody that can pull folks together and unify folks. And so i actually don't think people are looking for taking shots at candidates that are unwarranted. I think it's important to show distinctions. If somebody crosses the line, obviously speak from your heart, but i think that this is a debate what you saw last night, donald trump clicking out boring on his tweets, which i think was hilarious because it was boring to him because he wasn't the center of attention. He couldn't dominate all the oxygen. That's what donald trump wants. He wants us to fight him on his turf, on his terms and make it all about him. I actually think we're going to win this election. I think i can win this election by not about what we're against, but by talking about what we're for and not showing the worst of who we are, but the best.\n\n --KEYWORD TAGS--\nDEMOCRAT DEBATES BETO SPANISH MEME SOCIAL MEDIA \n\n\n

TAPE_NUMBER: EF99/1240 IN_TIME: 11:26:25 - 07:23:19 - 10:04:31 LENGTH: 01:16 SOURCES: APTN RESTRICTIONS: FEED: VARIOUS (THE ABOVE TIME-CODE IS TIME-OF-DAY) SCRIPT: English/Nat U-S Stockholders and Wall Street observers say that Microsoft's recent setback in a landmark antitrust case may not have a great effect on the company's stock in the long run or in the market in general. U-S District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson ruled the computer giant to be a monopoly who illegally used its power to undermine competing technologies. The decision could lead to serious sanctions against Microsoft and a reshaping of the multibillion-dollar high-technology industry. U-S Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson ruled on Friday night that Microsoft has used its dominance of the personal computer software industry to stifle competition, hurting consumers. While few had expected a victory for Microsoft in its antitrust trial, the harsh and stinging tone of the judge's decision startled many observers. Microsoft's shares plunged about 3 percent after the ruling was released. But patrons at this Wall Street watering hole say there's no need for the company to fear losses in the general market. SOUNDBITE: (English) "As a stockholder of Microsoft personally it does, but on the market I don't think it's going to have any bearing whatsoever." SUPER CAPTION: Art Russell, Industry analyst and Microsoft shareholder U-S Federal law generally bans companies from maintaining monopoly power through illegal business practices, but not from achieving their success selling popular products or making shrewd business decisions. This gives Microsoft strong grounds to fight its own corner. SOUNDBITE: (English) "I'm sure that Microsoft is going to fight it, and fight it vigorously. Whether or not it ever comes to pass, it may have a great effect on stock values, like it did for AT&T and the Bells, or it may end up like an I-B-M and hold together and do well in the market." SUPER CAPTION: Vox Pop Paul Rothstein, a Georgetown University law professor and a consultant to Microsoft, said the decision was an "unwarranted extension of the antitrust laws," adding that it is too soon to say Microsoft has lost the case. SOUNDBITE: (English) "Who wins and who loses? Well, I think the average Joe wins and the fact that an individual like Bill Gates who, although due to his intelligence has been able to acquire billions of dollars, has finally been able to be knocked down a couple of pegs, and allow the common man to take advantage of his incredible wealth." SUPER CAPTION: Vox Pop The decision to apply the monopoly label is a significant setback for Microsoft, as well as a clear recognition of the expansive influence of the software giant whose Windows products run most of the world's personal computers. Microsoft chairperson, Bill Gates said he respectfully disagreed with a number of the court's rulings, vowing to continue their defence and uphold the company's principles.

SOUNDBITE (English) Neville Gabrielle, Khulumani Support Group spokesperson: "From the US, six companies: Caltex Petroleum, Exxon-Mobil Corporation, Fluor Corporation, Ford Motor Company, General Motors and International Business Machines." 17. People dancing STORYLINE: A South African apartheid victims group is suing 20 banks and major multinational companies for what it expects could be billions of dollars in damages. The lawsuit was filed late on Monday in federal court in Brooklyn, New York, on behalf of the Khulumani Support Group' 33-thousand members and 85 individuals. The group blames the companies for helping support a regime that left some of them maimed, others raped and tortured. The suit's targets include major banks like Citigroup, the largest financial institution in the United States, and Swiss banking giants UBS and Credit Suisse. The US oil company Exxon and auto companies General Motors and Ford were also among companies named as supporters of the Apartheid regime. Reparations would pay for individual medical treatment, activists said, but also for community projects in areas devastated by the poverty they say is another legacy of apartheid. The apartheid regime, which began in 1948, classified all South Africans by race and stripped even the most basic rights from those who were not white. Khulumani's lawyers said the companies named in the case helped prop up the white government - struggling as foreign capital fled the country - with loans and other business deals worth billions of dollars. The help came even after the United Nations asked all member states to break off relations with South Africa in 1962. The companies and banks named in the Khulumani lawsuit are: Citigroup, JP Morgan Chase, Exxon Mobil, Caltex Petroleum, Fluor Corporation, Ford, General Motors and IBM in the United States; German-based Commerzbank, Deutsche Bank, Dresdner Bank, DaimlerChrysler, and Rheinmetall; Credit Suisse and UBS in Switzerland; Barclays Bank, British Petroleum and Fujitsu ICL in Britain; Total-Fina-Elf from France and Royal Dutch Shell from the Netherlands.

Congressman Richard Gephardt and other House leaders spoke out in favor closing tax loopholes that allow corporations to hide financial information through bank accounts outside the United States.

INT BROLL PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA REMARKS AT P-TECH SCHOOL / HEAD ON Friday, October 25, 2013 President Barack Obama Remarks at P-TECH High School in Brooklyn, NY SLUG: 1445 WH NY PATH1 RS33 73 AR: 16x9 DISC: 550 NYRS: 5114 15:55:28 PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA ENTERS 15:55:37 PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA SHAKES HANDS WITH STUDENTS 15:55:49 PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA HUGS RADCLIFFE ON STAGE 15:55:58 (Cheers, applause.) How you doing? (Cheers.) 15:56:11 Well, it is good to be back in Brooklyn. (Cheers.) It's good to be in New York City. And it is good to see some friends who stick up for students and teachers and education every day. 15:56:27 We've got your governor. Andrew Cuomo's in the house. Give him a big round of applause. (Cheers, applause.) We've got your senator, Chuck Schumer. (Cheers, applause.) Outstanding secretary of education, Arne Duncan. We've got -- your outstanding congressional delegation is here. Give them a big round of applause. (Cheers, applause.) We've got -- your public advocate and my friend Bill de Blasio is here. (Cheers, applause.) We've got the outstanding leader of one of America's iconic companies, IBM CEO Ginni Rometty. (Cheers, applause.) 15:57:24 And I want to give a special shout-out to a man who's been an extraordinary mayor for this city. He's been a leader throughout the country for the past 12 years. Mr. Michael Bloomberg is here. (Cheers, applause.) 15:57:48 And I want to thank your principal here at P-Tech, Rashid Davis, who I am pretty confident is the coolest-looking principal in America. (Laughter, cheers, applause.) (Rashid ?). 15:58:02 I think there just are not that many principals with dreadlocks and yellow kicks. (Laughter, applause.) There aren't that many of them. I mean, there may be some, but there aren't that many. (Laughter.) 15:58:22 And I had a wonderful time visiting with one of your teachers, Ms. Salufa (ph) -- Sakula (ph) -- Sakula (ph)? (Cheers, applause.) Ms. Sakula (ph). She was outstanding. She welcomed me into her classroom, she showed me around. I want to thank all of you for letting me spend some time here. In return, you got out of class -- (laughs) -- a little early on Friday, which I know always gets a little applause. Although in this school, maybe not, because you guys are enjoying learning so much. (Scattered applause.) That's worth applauding, that you're enjoying learning so much. (Applause.) 15:59:12 Part of the reason I'm -- I'm glad to be here is because I used to live in Brooklyn and I actually landed Marine One in Prospect Park -- I used to live across the street from Prospect Park. (Cheers.) And -- but mainly I'm here because I want to talk - 15:59:25 I wanted to come here ever since I talked about you in my State of the Union Address this year because what's going on here at P-Tech is outstanding. And I'm -- and I'm excited to see it for myself. 15:59:38 I know Brooklyn in general is blowing up right now. It's -- I -- when I was living here, Brooklyn was cool, but not this cool. (Laughter.) 15:59:48 Barclays Center hadn't been built yet. I know the Nets just picked up Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett off season -- (cheers) -- which -- which is a lesson to all the young people, old people can still play. (Cheers.) We've still got -- (laughs) -- some gas in the tank. 16:00:09 But this whole borough is where generations of hopeful, striving immigrants came in search of opportunity -- a chance to build better lives for themselves and for their kids, and that's been true for decades. 16:00:22 And I'm here today to talk about what we need to do as a country to build the same kind of opportunity for your generation, for the next generation and for your kids and for future immigrants. This country should be doing everything in our power to give more kids the chance to go to schools just like this one. 16:00:40 We should be doing everything we can to put college within the reach of more young people. We should be doing everything we can to keep your streets safe and protect you from gun violence. We should be doing everything we can to keep families from falling into poverty and build more ladders of opportunity to help people who are willing to work hard climb out of poverty. 16:01:04 We should be doing everything we can to welcome new generations of hopeful, striving immigrants. 16:01:14 I want us to do everything we can to give every single young person the same kind of opportunity that this country gave me and gave Chuck and gave Governor Cuomo and gave Mayor Bloomberg and gave your principal. That's what I'm focused on. 16:01:42 Yeah, by the way, if you have chairs, go ahead and sit down. (Laughter.) If you don't have chairs, then don't sit down, because you'll fall. I didn't realize everybody had chairs there. I would have told you to sit down earlier. (Laughter, scattered applause.) So that's what we can achieve together. It's possible. We know we can do it. P-Tech is proof of what can be accomplished, but we've got to have the courage to do it. 16:02:01 You know, the American people work hard, and they try to do right day in and day out. And that resilience and that toughness helped to turn our economy around after one of the hardest periods that we've ever faced as a country. 16:02:15 But what we also need is some political courage in Washington. We don't always see that. Right now, we need to all pull together. We need to work together to grow the economy, not shrink it; to create good jobs, not eliminate jobs. We've got to finish building a new foundation for shared and lasting prosperity so that everybody who works hard, everybody who studies hard at a school like this one or schools all across the country have a chance to get ahead. That's what we need to do, that's what I'm focused on. 16:02:49 And that all begins with the education that we give young people because all of you are growing up in changing times, especially for the economy. The world you're growing up in is different than the one that previous generations here in Brooklyn knew and here -- and all across the country knew. In the old days, a young person, they might just have followed their parents' footsteps, gotten a job in their parents' line of work, keep that job for 30, 40 years. 16:03:15 If you were willing to work hard, you didn't necessarily need a great education, if you had just gone to high school, you might get a job at a factory or in the garment district or you might be able to just get a job that allowed you to earn your wages, keep pace with people who had a chance to go to college. 16:03:33 But those days are over, and those days are not coming back. 16:03:41 We live in a 21st century global economy, and in a global economy, jobs can go anywhere. Companies, they're looking for the best educated people wherever they live. And they'll reward them with good jobs and good pay. 16:03:58 And if you don't have well-educated workforce, you're going to be left behind. If you don't have a good education, then it is going to be hard for you to find a job that pays a living wage. 16:04:13 And by the way, other countries know this. You know, in -- in previous generations, America's standing economically was so much higher than everybody else's that we didn't have a lot of competition. 16:04:32 Now, you've got billions of people from Beijing to Bangalore to Moscow, all of whom are competing with you directly. And they're -- those countries are working every day to outeducate and outcompete us. 16:04:51 And every year brings more research showing them pulling ahead, especially in some of the subject matter that this school specializes in: math and science and technology. 16:05:04 So we've got a choice to make. We can just kind of shrug our shoulders and settle for something less, or we can do what America's always done, which is adapt. 16:05:16 We pull together, we up our game, we hustle, we fight back, we work hard and we win. We have to educate our young people -- every single person here, but also all the young people all across Brooklyn, all across New York City, all across New York State and all across this country so that you're ready for this global economy. And schools like P-TECH will help us do that. 16:05:43 Here at P-TECH, you've got folks from IBM, City Tech, City University of New York, City Department of Education. Everybody's pulling together to make sure a high school education puts young people on a path to a good job. So you guys have opportunities here that you don't find in most high schools yet. You can take college- level courses in math and science. 16:06:08 You can work with mentors from IBM. So you're learning specific skills that you know leads to a good job. And most important, you'll graduate with a high school diploma and an associate's degree in computer systems or electromechanical engineering. And that means you'll be in demand. Companies will want to hire you. 16:06:30 IBM has even said that P-Tech graduates will be first in line when you apply for jobs once you graduate. And at a moment when the cost -- higher education keeps going up, and Arne and I are working hard to make sure that we're doing everything we can to reduce the burden of student loans on young people. Here is how much two years of college will cost P-Tech students and their families: Zero. Nothing. 16:06:58 (Applause, cheers.) Nothing. I notice some of the parents were the first to clap. They're all like, yeah. (Laughter.) They like that. But that's a huge burden -- I mean, that's thousands of dollars that you're saving, and that means when you start working you're going to have that much less of a burden in terms of debt, which means you can afford to buy a house sooner; you can afford to start your business sooner. You know, Radcliff (sp) was saying how he's thinking about, you know, starting his own business. And that kind of attitude is a lot easier when you're not burdened with a lot of student loans. 16:07:41 So this is a ticket into the middle class and it's available to everybody who's willing to work for it. And that's the way it should be. That's what public education is supposed to do. And the great thing is that what started small is now growing. 16:08:00 Governor Cuomo, he's opening up P-Tech-model schools in districts throughout the state. Throughout the state. (Cheers, applause.) So -- so all those schools together, they're going to prepare more than 6,000 high school students for good high school jobs. 16:08:21 Back in my hometown of Chicago, Mayor Rahm Emanuel's opening up schools like this one. He's opening up a -- a school, for example, called Sarah E. Goode STEM Academy. And -- we got a little Chicago person here. (Laughter.) Yeah. There you go. 16:08:44 Across -- across the country, companies like Verizon and Microsoft and Coned (ph) and Cisco made -- saw what IBM was doing; they said, well, this is a good idea, we can do this too. So they're working with educators and states to replicate what you're already doing here. And you guys should feel good about that. You -- you -- you're -- you're starting something all across the country. (Applause.) 16:09:07 So as a -- as a country, we should all want what all of you are receiving right now, the same chance for a great education. 16:09:15 Here is what I think we should do as a country to make sure they've got the same opportunity as you do. 16:09:23 First of all, we've got to get every child an earlier start at success by making high-quality preschool available to every four-year-old in America. (Applause.) 16:09:37 We should give every student access to the world's information. When I went into the classroom today, you know, young people were working off computers. And the problem is, a lot of places, even if they've got computers, that they're not hooked up to wireless. So what we're doing is having the federal agencies moving forward on a plan that connect 99 percent of American students to high-speed Internet within five years. We're already moving on that front. (Applause.) 16:10:08 We need to bring down the cost of college and give more young people the chance to go to college. (Applause.) So a couple of months ago, I put forward an ambitious new plan to do that, to reduce the cost of college. 16:10:21 We need to redesign more of our high schools so that they teach young people the skills required for a high-tech economy. So I've been meeting with business leaders and innovative educators to spread the best ideas. 16:10:39 And I also want to congratulate Governor Cuomo and all of you in New York for having the courage to raise your standards for teaching and learning to make sure that more students graduate from high school ready for college and a career. It's not easy, but it's the right thing to do. (Applause.) It's going to prepare more young people for today's economy. We should stay at it. 16:11:01 And here's one more thing we should do. And that is, just remember none of this works unless we've got outstanding teachers, which means we've got to -- (applause) -- we've got to make sure -- we've got to make sure that we're funding education so that teachers have the support that they need so that they can support their own families, so that they're not having to dig into their pockets for school supplies. And we've got to show them the respect and provide pathways of excellence for teachers so that they're treated like the professionals that they are. (Applause.) It is a hard job. And we've got to make sure we're investing in them. (Applause.) 16:11:46 Now, some of these ideas I've laid out before. Some of them I'm just going ahead and doing on my own. Some of them do require Congress to do something. (Scattered applause.) 16:11:57 And one way we can start is by Congress passing a budget that reflects our need to invest in our young people. 16:12:12 (Applause.) I know the budget's not the most interesting topic for a Friday afternoon even at a school where young people like math - 16:12:26 and by the way, I just sat in on a lesson called "Real World Math," which got me thinking whether it's too late to send Congress here -- (laughter) -- for a remedial course, but -- 16:12:42 But a budget is important because what a budget does is it sets our priorities. It tells us what we think is important, what our priorities are. And the stakes for our middle class could not be higher. If we don't set the right priorities now, then many of you will be put at a competitive disadvantage compared to other countries. If you think education is expensive, wait until you see how much ignorance costs. (Applause.) So we've got to invest. 16:13:15 So -- so we need a budget that is responsible, that is fiscally prudent, but a budget that cuts what we don't need, closes wasteful tax loopholes that don't create jobs, freeing up resources to invest in the things that actually do help us grow. Things like education and scientific research and infrastructure -- roads, bridges, airports. This should not be an ideological exercise, we should use some common sense. What's going to help us grow? What's going to create jobs? What is going to expand our middle class? What's going to give more opportunity to young people? Those are the things we should be putting money into. That's what we need to do. (Applause.) 16:14:03 And we've got enough resources to do it if we stop spending on things that don't work and don't make sense or if we make sure that people aren't wiggling out of their taxes through these corporate loopholes that only a few people at the very top can take advantage of. If we -- if we just do everything in a fair, common-sense way, we've got the resources to be fiscally responsible and invest in our future. 16:14:32 And this obsession with cutting just for the sake of cutting hasn't helped our economy grow; it's held it back. (Scattered applause.) It won't help us build a better society for your generation. 16:14:47 And by the way, it's important to remember, for those who are following the news, our deficits are getting smaller. They've been cut in half since I took office, all right? (Cheers, applause.) 16:15:00 So -- so that gives us room to fix longer-term debt problems without sticking it to your generation. We don't have to choose between growth and fiscal responsibility; we've got to do both. 16:15:10 And the question can't just be how much more we can cut, it's got to be how many more schools like P-Tech we can create. That should be our priority. (Applause.) 16:15:29 You know, and after the manufactured crisis that Congress -- actually, a small group in the House of Representatives just put us through, shutting down the government and threatening to potentially default on our debt, I don't want to hear the same old stuff about how America can't afford to invest in the things that have always made us strong. Don't tell me we can afford to shut down the government, which costs our economy billions of dollars, but we can't afford to invest in our education systems, because there's nothing more important than this. (Applause.) 16:16:03 In fact, what I'd like to do is have every member of Congress -- maybe Chuck can arrange a -- and the congressional delegation can arrange some tours for some of their colleagues: Come here. Come to Brooklyn. Meet some of these young people. (Applause.) They ought to meet some of the young people here. 16:16:55 You know, meet somebody like Leslie Anne John (ph), the young woman who -- who sang the national anthem this afternoon. (Applause.) You know, Leslie Anne (sp) is in the 11th grade. She's already taking -- she's already taken eight college classes, which is about as many as I took when I was in college. (Laughter.) She knows she has a great opportunity here. She's working hard to make the most of it. Eventually she plans to become a lawyer. 16:17:35 And Leslie Anne (sp) is clear-eyed about the challenges that the students here face. You know, she put it, you know, in a way that a lot of people can relate to. She said: Now, we see a whole bunch of craziness going on in the streets of Crown Heights sometimes. That's what she said. But she also said that being here at P-Tech taught her something important: There's more for us than just the streets. (Applause.) And she said that in the end of the day we've got to make something of ourselves. And that's important -- that's important. It's not just what the government or adults can do for you; it's also what you can do for yourselves.And that sense of responsibility -- (applause) -- that sense that you set the bar high for yourself, that's what America is all about. 16:18:08 That's been the history of New York -- people working hard but also working together to make sure that everybody's got a fair shot; to make sure you don't have to be born wealthy, you don't have to be born famous; that if you've got some drive and some energy, then you can go to a school that teaches you what you need to know, you can go to college even if you don't have a lot of money, you can start your own business even if you didn't inherit a business. 16:18:29 Making something of ourselves, that what we do in this country. That's a message we're sending to Washington: no more games, no more gridlock, no more gutting the things that help America grow and give people the tools to make something of themselves. That's what this is about. That's what P-Tech represents. That's what Brooklyn represents. And as long as I have the privilege to be your president, I'm going to keep fighting to make sure that no matter who you are, where you come from, what you look like. 16:18:56 This country will always be a place where you can make it if you try. (Cheers, applause.) So thank you, Brooklyn. God bless you. God bless America. (Cheers, applause.) 16:19:16 President Obama walks off stage 16:19:24 shakes hands w/ Sen. Chuck Schumer 16:20:42 President Obama shakes hands, profile shot 16:21:29 President Obama shakes hands face visible 16:23:45 President Obama waves goodbye 16:23:55 President Obama exits 16:24:09 WS of students standing on the stage
