[0:00]" I could not be prouder. My hometown of Chicago. The volunteers were involved. Mayor Daley. The delegation in the American people for the extraordinary. Bit that we put forward. I do want to congratulate Rio de Janeiro in the nation of Britain Brazil four. Winning. The 2016. Olympics. I think -- very truly historic event. As these will be the first Olympic Games ever to be held in South America. And as neighbors in the Americas. As friends to the Brazilian people. We welcome this extraordinary. Sign of progress in the fact that the 2016 games will be in the Americas I had a chance to talk to. President Lula and gave in my party congratulations. And told them. Our athletes we'll see you. On the field competition in 2016. Again I want to thank everybody who worked so hard to put America's been together not just mayor Daley and the delegation pat Ryan. But most especially that thousands of Chicago -- who. Volunteered over these past few years they put him their heart and soul into this -- I have no doubt there was strong is it possible. And I'm proud that I was able. Come in and help make that case in person. I believe it's always a worthwhile endeavor. To. Promote. And boost the United States of America and invite the world that currency. What we're all about. We obviously would have been eager to host these games but as I said this nation and our athletes are still very much excited to compete in 2060. And we. Once again want to to say how much we are committed. To the Olympics -- which I think represents them. Best of humanity. I also on this very few words. About the unemployment numbers that came out today. As I've said before. My principal focus. Each and every day. Well principal focus of my economic team is putting our nation back on the path to prosperity. Since the period last winter when we're losing an average of 700000. Jobs per month. We've certainly made some progress on this front. But today's job report is sobering reminder that progress comes in fits and starts. In the we're gonna need to grind out this recovery. Step by step. From the moment I took office. I made the point that employment is often the last thing to come back after a recession. That's what history shows us by our task is to do everything we can possibly do to accelerate. That process. And I want to let every single American know that I will not let up until most were seeking work. Can find work until businesses that are seeking credit are able to get credit and -- And so all responsible homeowners can stay. In the halts. That's our ultimate goal and it's one that we are working every single day here in the White House to accomplish whether involves implementing. The recovery act that -- helped to bring back. America from the brink much worse situation. Or lowering the cost of health care for businesses. And families and that's why I'm working closely with my economic advisers just explore. Any and all additional. Options and measures that we might take to promote job creation. -- crises statistics like what we saw today. My mind turns to the people behind. Honest decent Americans who want nothing more than the opportunity to contribute to their country. Help build a better future for themselves in the famous. Building a 21 century economy that offers this opportune. Economy where folks can receive the skills and education they need to compete. For the jobs of the future. Will not happen overnight. But we will build. That I'm both confident. And determined. And on behalf of every American will continue. In that effort. Each and every day. For as long as I'm in this White House thank you very much --"
