Past simple

John F. Kennedy didn't look up at the moon

It wasn't because of my
brilliance or something

Nobody cares how tough
your upbringing was.

who enjoyed scotch a little bit too much.

- He's the 44th and current
president of the United States

and the first African
American to hold the office.

- He was inaugurated as
president on January 20th, 2009.

and here are his top 10 rules for success.

- We have looked at a
whole slew of problems

And we've said, where can we
advance the ball down the field

And we don't score a touchdown every time,

- Do you feel like you've hit the metrics

hope posters and the this

and the that and everybody
was feeling like--

- Hey, we didn't make
those, you made those!

- Hang on a second.
No, no, no, I like them.

I said, "This is going to
be an ongoing project".
