thi summer __PUNCT__ we present a bold agenda for the futur __PUNCT__

it wa my __NUM__ commit to the american_peopl __PUNCT__

but todai i want to explain it in a slightli differ wai __PUNCT__

i want to explain it by describ my vision of the america that i want to hand over to my successor if you give me the honor of be your presid __PUNCT__

becaus we all believ that everyon of us __PUNCT__ no matter what our role or who we ar in thi countri __PUNCT__ all of us ha an oblig __PUNCT__ a respons to hand our nation to the next gener better than it wa hand to us __PUNCT__

we about improv our countri for the next gener __PUNCT__

we alwai been about that __PUNCT__

thi gener ha to be about that __PUNCT__

so we hand over an america where our school ar the best in the world __PUNCT__ not __NUM__ in scienc __PUNCT__ not __NUM__ in math like we ar todai __PUNCT__

i got a goal for america __PUNCT__

how about be __PUNCT__ __NUM__ __PUNCT__ we can reform educ __PUNCT__ primari and secondari_educ in thi countri and we can do it by creat and expand school_choic __PUNCT__

we empow parent __PUNCT__ not govern_bureaucrat __PUNCT__ let the parent choos where their child goe to school __PUNCT__

who know better __PUNCT__ all children __PUNCT__ rich and poor __PUNCT__ middl_class or otherwis __PUNCT__ all children deserv a qualiti_educ __PUNCT__ whether it public __PUNCT__ privat __PUNCT__ parochi __PUNCT__ charter or home __PUNCT__ school __PUNCT__

to me __PUNCT__ thi is the great civil right issu of our time __PUNCT__

our children __PUNCT__ all of our children __PUNCT__ not just your __PUNCT__ not just mine __PUNCT__ all of our children need a good educ and if the parent ar make the choic __PUNCT__ if that the rule in thi countri and not the except __PUNCT__ i confid that the decis will be made in their interest __PUNCT__

thei go to do it better than some bureaucrat who ha never met their child __PUNCT__ doesn't know their child __PUNCT__

so let give the power here __PUNCT__ the main power to the parent __PUNCT__

we hand over an america that embrac __PUNCT__ is __PUNCT__ the global_economi __PUNCT__

that need fair __PUNCT__

of cours we need a level plai_field __PUNCT__ but we should be less concern about how much we bui from oversea __PUNCT__ except from the point of view of safeti and secur __PUNCT__ that import __PUNCT__

but on the econom of it __PUNCT__ what we should realli be focus on is how much do we sell to oversea __PUNCT__ america is an entrepreneuri societi __PUNCT__

we should view the rise of china and india __PUNCT__ the peopl_move out of poverti in china and india __PUNCT__ we should view that as a great opportun to find what america is alwai look for __PUNCT__ new custom __PUNCT__

right __PUNCT__ when thei think of us as a countri that militarist __PUNCT__ thei wrong __PUNCT__

the essenti natur of american is not war __PUNCT__

american onli go to war when thei have to and then of cours we do it to win and to prevail and to be safe __PUNCT__

so do it in a determin wai __PUNCT__

but here the essenti natur of america and american __PUNCT__

here what we realli want to do with you all around the world __PUNCT__

we want to sell you someth __PUNCT__

right __PUNCT__ isn't that what america all about __PUNCT__

america is an entrepreneuri societi __PUNCT__

but we also need to keep our hous in order here in the unit_state __PUNCT__

we hand over a countri that more fiscal_disciplin __PUNCT__ with a govern no larger than it ha to be __PUNCT__

it be a countri where tax __PUNCT__ regul __PUNCT__ abus lawsuit don't drive job and busi out of the unit_state __PUNCT__

and we creat __PUNCT__ and we creat hundr of thousand of job __PUNCT__ million of job __PUNCT__ in the process __PUNCT__

we lower the incom_tax and the corpor_tax tax_rate __PUNCT__

we give the death_tax the death_penalti __PUNCT__

we find mani wai to bring tax_relief to middl_class class_famili where that tax_relief is need the most __PUNCT__

and you know what els we go to do __PUNCT__ we go to develop a singl page __PUNCT__ on __PUNCT__ page option tax form __PUNCT__

how about be abl to do it all on on page __PUNCT__ wouldn't that be great __PUNCT__ ok __PUNCT__

the print mai be a littl small __PUNCT__

but we work real hard to get it on on page __PUNCT__

the democrat run for presid seem to want a nanni_state __PUNCT__

thei want to run your life from the cradl to the grave __PUNCT__

we don't want that kind of state __PUNCT__

america like a countri that put relianc on individu __PUNCT__ on peopl __PUNCT__ what thei can do __PUNCT__ what thei can accomplish __PUNCT__

america a countri that work on initi __PUNCT__

and then we give peopl opportun and help to have that initi __PUNCT__ but we don't try to direct their live from the dai __PUNCT__ their __PUNCT__ thei born until the dai thei die __PUNCT__

we hand off a countri that doesn't penal success __PUNCT__

we reward success __PUNCT__

we want a countri where the __PUNCT__ sky the limit __PUNCT__

peopl can reach for the star and thei can have a hope that thei can get there __PUNCT__

we don't want to put a lid on their desir __PUNCT__ on their ambit __PUNCT__

we want to encourag social_mobil __PUNCT__

what countri ha done it better than america in the histori of the world __PUNCT__ move peopl out of poverti __PUNCT__ creat social mobil __PUNCT__ have peopl in on gener go from the virtual bottom to the virtual top and all the place in between __PUNCT__

we do that by be a countri of initi __PUNCT__ a countri that reward success __PUNCT__ not a countri that penal success __PUNCT__

so we want to encourag social mobil __PUNCT__

that how we move peopl out of poverti __PUNCT__

that how we strengthen the middl_class and that how we bring the american_dream within the reach of everi will person in thi countri __PUNCT__

now if you keep do that __PUNCT__ i go to stop give thi speech __PUNCT__

i go to go out and plai footbal __PUNCT__

we hand over a countri where decis about your healthcar ar made between you and your doctor __PUNCT__ not between you and a hillari __PUNCT__ care custodian __PUNCT__

we can make health_care more afford __PUNCT__ portabl __PUNCT__

we can do that through tax_cut __PUNCT__ not tax_hike and govern_mandat __PUNCT__

we can open the market __PUNCT__ we can increas choic __PUNCT__ we can empow individu and all of that __PUNCT__ all of that will drive down the cost so that peopl can afford health_insur and good_health health_insur __PUNCT__ qualiti health insur __PUNCT__

that ha to be our goal __PUNCT__

we do it through an america __PUNCT__ we do it through privat decis __PUNCT__ make and privat_market not through social_medicin __PUNCT__

we hand over a countri with __NUM__ new feder_judg __PUNCT__ or __NUM__ if you give me a second term __PUNCT__

well let work on the first on first __PUNCT__

ok __PUNCT__

these judg will be respons men and women __PUNCT__ peopl who understand that their role is to interpret the constitut __PUNCT__ not social activist who legisl from the bench __PUNCT__

to do anyth less is to deni us the defens of liberti that come from the separ of power __PUNCT__

we hand over a countri where we end illeg_immigr where it ha to be done __PUNCT__ at the border __PUNCT__

and also a countri who arm ar wide_open to peopl who come here __PUNCT__ peopl who come here legal and openli __PUNCT__

we want them __PUNCT__ we need them __PUNCT__ we will accept them __PUNCT__ and what we want them to do __PUNCT__ if thei want to becom citizen __PUNCT__ is meet all the requir and then be abl to read english __PUNCT__ write english __PUNCT__ and speak_english __PUNCT__

end illeg_immigr won't be easi __PUNCT__

it requir chang human_behavior __PUNCT__ but it need to be done for everyon good __PUNCT__

i have the will __PUNCT__

i have the wai to do it __PUNCT__ the plan to do it __PUNCT__ and i have the track_record to bring safeti and order and fair to a situat that is now __PUNCT__ our __PUNCT__ out of control __PUNCT__

i done it befor __PUNCT__ i can do it again __PUNCT__

we hand over an america that is stronger __PUNCT__ safer and more secur __PUNCT__

we make everi commun better prepar __PUNCT__ more prepar for terrorist_attack and natur_disast someth you know about here in florida __PUNCT__

the hurrican of a few year_ago where you had to deal with four all in on short season __PUNCT__

the wai you did it wa a realli good emerg respons __PUNCT__

the rest of the countri need to be at at least that level of prepar and we all need to be at a higher_level of prepar __PUNCT__

and as we do that __PUNCT__ we build a more resili societi __PUNCT__ readi to withstand anyth that come our wai and readi to help those in need __PUNCT__ whenev and wherev thei need it __PUNCT__

we on countri __PUNCT__

we in thi togeth __PUNCT__

natur_disast __PUNCT__ terrorist_attack __PUNCT__ you learn here in florida __PUNCT__

i learn that in new york __PUNCT__

we embrac each other __PUNCT__

we hand over an america that is achiev energi_independ __PUNCT__

we can do it by increas the divers of our energi_sourc __PUNCT__

and we can do it by have both a healthi environ and a healthi economi __PUNCT__

the two thing ar not inconsist with each other __PUNCT__

the two thing compliment each other if you do energi_independ the right wai and you move toward the right sourc and you support it __PUNCT__

and most the most import_thing is we approach thi goal with the same singl __PUNCT__ minded that america us to put a man on the moon __PUNCT__

rememb __PUNCT__ well __PUNCT__ some of you don't rememb __PUNCT__

you too young __PUNCT__

you rememb __PUNCT__

i rememb __PUNCT__

you don't rememb __PUNCT__

but you go to read about thi in histori __PUNCT__ becaus it on of our great histor_moment __PUNCT__

the apollo mission __PUNCT__ the mission to put a man on the moon __PUNCT__ it wa start by presid eisenhow __PUNCT__ a republican __PUNCT__

it wa advanc greatli by presid_kennedi __PUNCT__ a democrat __PUNCT__

it wa brought almost to it final stage by presid_johnson __PUNCT__ anoth democrat __PUNCT__ and it wa complet under presid_nixon __PUNCT__ anoth republican __PUNCT__

thi wasn't a republican success __PUNCT__

thi wasn't a democrat success __PUNCT__

thi wa an american achiev __PUNCT__

that when we at our best __PUNCT__

that when we at our best __PUNCT__ when we think like american __PUNCT__

we were at our best to put a man on the moon __PUNCT__ we were at our best to deal with the horror and the shock and the pain and the suffer of __DATE__ __PUNCT__ weren't we __PUNCT__ no republican __PUNCT__ no democrat just american __PUNCT__

that what we need to achiev energi_independ and then mayb we can take that sprit and we can appli it to some of these other big_problem that we face __PUNCT__

what we realli need is to reaffirm and we need a new era __PUNCT__ not of republican success or democrat success __PUNCT__ how about we look for thing where we can have american success __PUNCT__

final __PUNCT__ and thi is the big challeng of our gener __PUNCT__ we hand over a countri that is safer __PUNCT__ that is more secur from the terrorist who ar at war with us and around the world __PUNCT__

we do it the same wai that ronald_reagan acceler the end of cold_war __PUNCT__

presid_reagan us to be ask in the earli_dai of hi presid __PUNCT__ when the cold_war wa in some wai you know veri intens __PUNCT__ thei sai to him __PUNCT__ you know thi cold war been go on for a long_time is it ever go to end __PUNCT__ how is it go to end __PUNCT__ peopl couldn't see an end to it __PUNCT__ it been go on for so long __PUNCT__

we win __PUNCT__

that the same approach that we need to defeat these enemi that we have __PUNCT__

we need to stai on offens in thi terrorist war against us __PUNCT__ achiev peac through strength __PUNCT__ that the onli wai you achiev peac __PUNCT__ through great_strength __PUNCT__ by be on offens __PUNCT__ by be strong __PUNCT__ by be confid __PUNCT__ by have a militari that we expand __PUNCT__ not contract __PUNCT__

we have to rebuild our militari __PUNCT__

i have a goal in iraq it not the democrat goal __PUNCT__ thei tri to legisl loss in iraq __PUNCT__ thei still try to legisl loss in iraq __PUNCT__

i have a differ goal __PUNCT__

it will be a veri clear decis for the american_peopl __PUNCT__

here my goal for iraq __PUNCT__ victori __PUNCT__ success for america and for our troop __PUNCT__

let achiev the goal that we went there to achiev __PUNCT__ a stabl iraq that will act as an alli for us in the ongo islam_terrorist war against us __PUNCT__

that is a victori for us and a defeat for them __PUNCT__

our men and women there believ thei can achiev that __PUNCT__

thei shown us unexpect progress __PUNCT__ mani peopl even oppon of that war have been surpris at how except the progress ha been __PUNCT__

so let help them and support them __PUNCT__

and let do the same_thing in afghanistan and pakistan __PUNCT__

let make sure we finish the job and we elimin al_qaeda and the taliban __PUNCT__

we will hand over an america that ha stop iran from becom a nuclear_power __PUNCT__

and when we stop them we won't just be moder confid but we be total sure __PUNCT__

but we also need to win the war of idea and the war of ideal __PUNCT__

strengthen our ti with the middl_east __PUNCT__ embrac those peopl in the middl east __PUNCT__ in the arab_world __PUNCT__ in the islam_world __PUNCT__

the overwhelm_major of peopl who want peac __PUNCT__ who below the cultur differ share the same valu that we have __PUNCT__

we got reach out to them __PUNCT__ we got to get to know them better __PUNCT__

we got to get them to know us better __PUNCT__

we got to do more busi with them __PUNCT__

that part of the world is fill with peopl with the same entrepreneuri spirit that we have __PUNCT__

the same love for their children that we have __PUNCT__ the same desir for a safe and secur life for themselv that we have __PUNCT__

there ar a few peopl and more than a few but by no mean anyth close to a substanti proport of peopl __PUNCT__ that have pervert the think and turn it into a polit_ideolog now of hatr and anger and vicious and aggress __PUNCT__

but that shouldn't stop us from reach out to all of the rest of those peopl who have the same desir that we have __PUNCT__

we should actual be have more contact with __PUNCT__ do more busi with __PUNCT__ have more cultur relationship with the middl_east now than we have ever had befor __PUNCT__

it is anoth wai to win the terrorist war against all of us __PUNCT__

and i will do that and i will make sure that we open up in the same wai that we will be strong and on offens __PUNCT__ we will also have a veri big open arm for all those peopl who want to work with us __PUNCT__

we embrac them __PUNCT__ thei embrac us __PUNCT__ it not the first time america ha done that __PUNCT__ it won't be the last and it will work __PUNCT__

i guarante you it will work __PUNCT__

so all of thi is sai that america need bold leadership to meet these veri veri big challeng that we have __PUNCT__

but i know we have the strength to hand our nation to the next gener stronger than it been hand to us __PUNCT__

we have the capac to improv thing the wai our father __PUNCT__ grandfath __PUNCT__ great __PUNCT__ grandfath and great __PUNCT__ grandmoth __PUNCT__ mother __PUNCT__ father __PUNCT__ peopl all over have done for us __PUNCT__

i have faith in the geniu of america __PUNCT__ the power of free_peopl to solv whatev problem thei face __PUNCT__

that why my solut all begin with a simpl thought __PUNCT__ a simpl philosophi __PUNCT__ give peopl more power __PUNCT__

america not uniqu becaus of it central_govern __PUNCT__

america is great becaus of self __PUNCT__ govern __PUNCT__

we unleash the geniu of america when we increas freedom __PUNCT__

the freedom to pursu success __PUNCT__ prosper __PUNCT__ happi __PUNCT__ fulfil __PUNCT__ in the wai that you choos __PUNCT__ not the wai that the govern dictat to you __PUNCT__

the geniu of america is you __PUNCT__

the individu american __PUNCT__

when you decid how to spend your monei __PUNCT__ you spend it more product than ani govern ever will __PUNCT__

when you the on decid what school your child should can go to __PUNCT__ you make a much better decis than some govern_bureaucrat can make for a child thei never met or never known __PUNCT__

and when you decid what kind of healthcar you should have __PUNCT__ you will make a much better decis than some govern custodian can make for you __PUNCT__

it realli simpl __PUNCT__

i believ in the strength and wisdom of the american_peopl __PUNCT__

look at our histori and you see why __PUNCT__

becaus no matter when or how your ancestor came to thi countri __PUNCT__ we ar all the proud descend of pioneer and patriot __PUNCT__

previou_gener fought for our independ __PUNCT__ sign the constitut __PUNCT__ end slaveri __PUNCT__ heal the wound of a civil_war __PUNCT__ settl the west __PUNCT__ overcam the great_depress and secur civil right __PUNCT__

so when we see all of that __PUNCT__ ar our challeng ani greater than their __PUNCT__ thei won the second world_war against nazism and fascism and the cold_war against commun __PUNCT__

that the same strength that in each of us __PUNCT__

we inherit it __PUNCT__ we have it __PUNCT__

we got to believ that we do __PUNCT__

and now it is our gener turn to make histori in thi new centuri __PUNCT__

i know that thi gener can overcom ani challeng __PUNCT__

i seen your strength __PUNCT__ i been sustain by it __PUNCT__

i saw it on the morn of __DATE__ __PUNCT__ __NUM__ __PUNCT__

but immedi as a i saw the courag and the strength of our citizen and our first respond __PUNCT__ when i saw the pictur of the firefight who put the flag up at ground zero __PUNCT__ just like the marin at iwo_jima __PUNCT__ mani year befor __PUNCT__ look just the same didn't it __PUNCT__ you know what i said to myself and thi gave me great_strength to get through everyth __PUNCT__

mayb sometim __PUNCT__ mayb sometim it happen when we put under stress and we put in a moment of terror and horror and it just come out __PUNCT__

but you know throughout histori __PUNCT__ peopl who live in freedom have much more strength than peopl who live in oppress __PUNCT__

that been the stori of the old testament __PUNCT__ it been the stori of the ancient_world and the modern_world __PUNCT__

it wa the stori of the __NUM___centuri __PUNCT__ peopl who live in freedom overcom oppress __PUNCT__

we ar on the right side of thi __PUNCT__

we have the strength __PUNCT__ we have the abil __PUNCT__
