- President Obama describes the complications associated with the individual sign-up for the Affordable Care Act and apologizes to Americans whose insurance plans are being canceled due to the law.

Obama also talks about National Security Agency surveillance of foreign leaders, negotiations over Iran's nuclear program, and the rumor he considered replacing Vice President Biden with Hillary Clinton for the 2012 campaign.
