by Barack Hussein Obama II (b. 1961)

Well, we are out of money now
Language: English 
We've all made our share of mistakes,
and there are times when our
actions around the world have not lived up
to our best intentions.
Well, we are out of money now.
Well, we are out of money now.
I, I, I, I, I, I, I.......
Well, we are out of money now.
Well, we are out of money now.
I don't know what the term is in Austrian.
What they'll say is, well it will cost too much money.
It would cost
about, it it it would cost about the same as what we would spend ...
it ... o-over the course of ten years
it would cost what it would cost us... it... it.
All right, okay, we're going to.
It... it would cost us about the
same as it would cost for about...
Hold on one second I can't hear myself.
Well, we are out of money now.
I won.
Well, we are out of money now.
So, did I screw up in this situation? Absolutely...
Well, we are out of money now.
