But he knew who it would hurt the most and how devastating the loss of a job can be to

an entire family.

POTUS: My grandparents taught me that a job is about

more than just a paycheck. They grew up during the Depression, so, they tell me about seeing

their fathers or their uncles losing jobs. Even if youve got a strong spirit, if

youre out of work for a long time, it can wear you down.

Narrator:

He decided to intervene. But in exchange for help, the President would demand action.

The Bush Administration had given the car

companies thirteen billion dollars, and the money was now gone.

Clinton:

He didnt just give the car companies the money. And he didnt give the UAW the money.

He said, You guys gotta work together and come up and everybodys gotta have

some skin in the game here. You gotta modernize the automobile industry.

POTUS:

So dont bet against the American worker, dont bet against the American people.

We are comin back!

Narrator: Because of the tough choices the President

made, the stage was set for a resurgent U.S. auto industry.

And it wouldnt be the last time this President

would face a crisis that others would rather avoid.

Newscaster, John Chancellor:

One of the most worrisome problems facing Americans these days is the cost of healthcare

and the rate at which it has increased.

Narrator: It had been an issue that both parties had

struggled with for more than three generations.

Clinton:

This is a huge economic issue because we spend seventeen and a half percent of our income

on healthcare. No other big, wealthy country spends more than 11.8%. And almost all of

them have better results than we do.

Narrator: Healthcare costs had been rising three times

the rate of inflation, crushing family budgets and choking business. And he knew that he

couldnt fix the economy if he didnt fix healthcare. And he wanted to bring Washington

together to share the tough decisions.

Protestors: Kill the Bill! Kill the Bill! Kill the bill!

Narrator:

But he faced a fierce opposition, hostile to compromise.

Man at Town Hall:

Itll be a cold day in hell before he socializes my country.

Narrator:

After months of negotiation, it was unclear whether he could get the necessary votes.

Narrator:

Some advised him to settle. He could still claim victory if he accepted less.

Emanuel:

I regularly told him, Look, you dont have to spill this much political blood. You

wont get the healthcare accomplishment youre seeking, but you will have something.

Narrator:

But he knew from experience the cost of waiting.

POTUS: When my mom got cancer, she wasnt a wealthy

woman. And it pretty much drained all her resources.

FLOTUS:

She developed ovarian cancer never really had good, consistent insurance. That

tough thing to deal with, watching your mother die of something that couldve been prevented.

I dont think he wants to see anyone go through that

Narrator:

And he remembered the millions of families like his who feel the pressure of rising costs

and the fear of being denied or dropped from coverage

POTUS:

When you hear people saying that this isnt the right time, when you hear people more

worried about the politics of it than whats right and whats wrong, I want you to think

about the millions of people all across this country who are looking for some help.

Narrator:

And when the votes were counted, that help would come.

Nancy Pelosi:

The bill is passed!

Narrator: Beyond the crises at home, among the toughest

calls that he would make, he would make as Commander in Chief.

He had promised to bring a responsible end

to the war in Iraq, and bring the troops home. It was a promise kept.

Newscaster:

After nine years in Iraq, all the troops are returning.

POTUS:

Welcome home! Welcome home! Welcome home!

Narrator:

And it was part of his broader plan to refocus our efforts on those that had attacked us.

Intelligence reports locating Osama Bin Laden

were promising, but inconclusive, and there was internal debate as to what the President

should do.

VPOTUS: We sat down in the Situation Room\'97the entire

national security apparatus was in that room\'97and the President turns to every principal in

the room every secretary, What do you recommend I do? And they say, Well,

forty-nine percent chance hes there, fifty-one... its a close call Mr. President. As

he walked out the room, it dawned on me, hes all alone. This is his decision. If he was

wrong, his Presidency was done. Over.

POTUS: Today, at my direction, the United States

launched a targeted operation that killed Osama Bin Laden, the leader of Al Qaida. A

small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability.

No Americans were harmed.

Newscaster: Theyve been planning this operation for

more than eight months, but in the end it came down to a period of just forty minutes

when it could either be a major success or a disastrous failure.

POTUS:

A lot of people have asked, How did you feel when you first heard that it was Bin

Laden and he had been killed? And the truth is, I didnt have time for a lot

of feelings at that point because our guys were still in that compound, and it wasnt

until I knew that they were across the border, they were safe, everybody was accounted for including

the dog uh, that I allowed, some satisfaction.

Clinton:

He took the harder, and the more honorable path. When I saw what had happened, I thought

to myself, I hope thats the call I woulde made.

Narrator:

It was the ultimate test of leadership, a victory for our nation.

And there would be many others.

His satisfaction, not in Washington, but with the millions of families who would feel

for the first time, the security of coverage.

2.5 million young adults now have coverage. 17 million kids could no longer be

denied for preexisting conditions.

He expanded drug discounts for seniors.

And with a Patient's Bill of Rights, Americans no longer will see their coverage dropped

or capped when illness strikes.

Title: Restores Stem Cell Research Funding

He restored science to its rightful place.

Title: Doubles Fuel Efficiency Standards

He announced historic new mileage standards that will reduce oil imports, and the countrys

now on track to double production from renewables.

Title: Race to the Top Raising expectations in our schools with higher

standards in forty-six states.

Title: Making College More Affordable

He reformed the student loan system, shifting billions in subsidies from banks and middlemen,

to millions of young Americans.

Title: Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act

Cracking down on credit card companies and

mortgage lenders so the American people would never have to bail out Wall Street again.

And when Washington stalled, he would take

action, protecting everyday Americans from predatory lenders.

Title: Appoints Richard Cordray to Head of

Financial Consumer Protection Bureau

POTUS: Im not gonna stand by while a minority

in the Senate puts party ideology ahead of the people that we were elected to serve.

Not at this make or break moment for middle class Americans.

Narrator:

They changed the way the world sees us.

And brought fairness to soldiers who want to serve their country, regardless of who

they love.

Title: Dont Ask Dont Tell repealed

POTUS: Thank you. Yes we did.

Narrator: And a landmark law so that a woman who does

the same job as a man can get the same pay.
