:39:02
This is so unlike Eleanor.
:39:05
She's terrified of crowds.
:39:08
We are facing
imminent disaster.
:39:10
I'll take full responsibility if you
hyperventilate or faint.
:39:13
...on a level with us.
:39:16
Oh, here she is now,
Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt.
:39:22
Thank you.
:39:24
Good afternoon.
:39:28
I'm so... I'm so pleased
to be invited here today.
:39:41
Too often...
:39:49
Too often...
:39:57
Too often,
the great decisions
:40:01
are originated
and given form
:40:03
in bodies made up
wholly of men.
:40:07
So that whatever political value
women have to offer
:40:11
is shunted aside
without expression.
:40:15
This is a mistake.
:40:22
I think this might be
the reason I'm...
:40:24
having such
a difficult time
:40:27
giving voice to my own
thoughts here today.
:40:33
I'm reminded of...
:40:35
what someone once said about
looking at an elephant.
:40:40
It is impossible to ever
see an entire elephant from one place.
:40:44
You have to walk around it.
:40:47
If our elected leaders
are to be truly effective,
:40:51
they must learn to look
beyond what is right in front of them
:40:55
to see the entire elephant.
:40:59
And for that,
they need our help.
