1
00:00:02,961 --> 00:00:03,391
(applause)
2
00:00:03,394 --> 00:00:04,424
The President:
Hello, everybody!
3
00:00:04,428 --> 00:00:10,728
(applause)
4
00:00:10,728 --> 00:00:11,998
First of all,
everybody can sit down.
5
00:00:11,994 --> 00:00:13,224
(laughter)
6
00:00:13,227 --> 00:00:15,297
It's much easier to tweet
from a seated position.
7
00:00:15,294 --> 00:00:16,694
(laughter)
8
00:00:16,695 --> 00:00:18,265
Mr. Dorsey:
And I understand you want
to start the conversation
9
00:00:18,261 --> 00:00:19,431
off with a tweeter yourself.
10
00:00:19,428 --> 00:00:22,898
The President:
I'm going to make history
here as the first President
11
00:00:22,895 --> 00:00:25,795
to live tweet.
12
00:00:25,795 --> 00:00:32,725
So we've got a
computer over here.
13
00:00:32,728 --> 00:00:43,958
(types in tweet)
14
00:00:43,961 --> 00:00:45,531
Mr. Dorsey:
It's only 140 characters.
15
00:00:45,528 --> 00:00:48,128
(laughter)
16
00:00:48,127 --> 00:00:59,757
(types in tweet)
17
00:00:59,761 --> 00:01:02,831
The President:
All right, I think I
have done this properly.
18
00:01:02,828 --> 00:01:04,058
But here's the test.
19
00:01:09,628 --> 00:01:10,528
Mr. Dorsey:
And you tweeted.
20
00:01:10,528 --> 00:01:12,728
The President:
How about that? Not bad.
21
00:01:12,728 --> 00:01:13,258
Thank you.
22
00:01:13,261 --> 00:01:19,531
(applause)
23
00:01:19,528 --> 00:01:22,158
So I think my question will
be coming up at some point.
24
00:01:22,161 --> 00:01:24,831
Mr. Dorsey:
Yes. So what was your question?
25
00:01:24,828 --> 00:01:25,798
Here it is.
26
00:01:25,795 --> 00:01:27,865
The President:
Here's the question: "In
order to reduce the deficit,
27
00:01:27,861 --> 00:01:30,561
what costs would you
cut and what investments
28
00:01:30,561 --> 00:01:31,231
would you keep?"
