i didn't just show up out of nowher __PUNCT__ after all __PUNCT__ america know me __PUNCT__

you know my strength and my fault __PUNCT__

you know my stori and my convict __PUNCT__

and though familiar in polit can be both help to a candid __PUNCT__ or not so help __PUNCT__ it doe at least fill out the pictur and answer the essenti question __PUNCT__

you need to know who you put in the white_hous __PUNCT__ where the candid came from and what he or she believ __PUNCT__

and you need to know now __PUNCT__ befor it is time to choos __PUNCT__

in __NUM___month __PUNCT__ dure hundr of speech __PUNCT__ town_hall and debat __PUNCT__ i have kept my promis to level with you about my plan to reform washington and get thi countri move again __PUNCT__

as a senat __PUNCT__ i seen the corrupt wai of washington in wast spend and other abus of power __PUNCT__ and as presid i go to end them __PUNCT__ whatev it take __PUNCT__

i will review everi agenc of the feder_govern __PUNCT__ improv those that need to be improv and elimin those that aren't work for the american_peopl __PUNCT__

i will confront th e ten trillion __PUNCT__ dollar debt that the feder_govern ha run up __PUNCT__ and balanc the feder_budget by the end of my term in offic __PUNCT__

thi is the agenda i have set befor my fellow_citizen __PUNCT__

and the same standard of clariti and candor must now be appli to my oppon __PUNCT__

even at thi late hour in the campaign __PUNCT__ there ar essenti thing we don't know about senat_obama or the record that he bring to thi campaign __PUNCT__

we have all heard what he ha said __PUNCT__ but it is less clear what he ha done or what he will do __PUNCT__

what senat obama sai todai and what he ha done in the past ar often two differ thing __PUNCT__

he ha often chang hi posit in thi campaign __PUNCT__ and the best wai to determin where he would realli take thi countri is to examin where he ha tri to take it in the past __PUNCT__

my oppon ha invit seriou question by announc a few week_ago that he would quot __PUNCT__ take off the glove __PUNCT__

sinc then __PUNCT__ whenev i have question hi polici or hi record __PUNCT__ he ha call me a liar __PUNCT__

rather than answer hi critic __PUNCT__ senat_obama will try to distract you from notic that he never answer the seriou and legitim question he ha been ask __PUNCT__

but let me repli in the plainest term i know __PUNCT__

i don't need lesson about tell the truth to american_peopl __PUNCT__

and were i ever to need ani improv in that regard __PUNCT__ i probabl wouldn't seek advic from a chicago politician __PUNCT__

my oppon touchi everi time he is question about hi record should make us onli more concern __PUNCT__

for a gui who alreadi author two memoir __PUNCT__ he not exactli an open book __PUNCT__

it as if somehow the usual rule don't appli __PUNCT__ and where other candid have to explain themselv and their record __PUNCT__ senat_obama seem to think he is abov all that __PUNCT__

whatev the question __PUNCT__ whatev the issu __PUNCT__ there alwai a back stori with senat obama __PUNCT__

all peopl want to know is __PUNCT__ what ha thi man ever actual accomplish in govern __PUNCT__ what doe he plan for america __PUNCT__ in short __PUNCT__ who is the real barack_obama __PUNCT__ but ask such question and all you get in respons is anoth barrag of angri insult __PUNCT__

our current econom_crisi is a good_case in point __PUNCT__

what wa hi actual record in the year befor the great econom_crisi of our lifetim __PUNCT__ thi crisi start in our hous_market in the form of subprim_loan that were push on peopl who could not afford them __PUNCT__

bad mortgag were be back by fanni_mae and freddi_mac __PUNCT__ and it wa onli a matter of time befor a contagion of unsustain debt began to spread __PUNCT__

thi corrupt wa encourag by democrat in congress __PUNCT__ and abet by senat_obama __PUNCT__

senat obama ha accus me of oppos regul to avert thi crisi __PUNCT__

i guess he believ if a lie is big enough and repeat often enough it will be believ __PUNCT__

but the truth is i wa the on who call at the time for tighter restrict on fanni_mae and freddi_mac that could have help prevent thi crisi from happen in the first place __PUNCT__

senat_obama wa silent on the regul of fanni_mae and freddi_mac __PUNCT__ and hi democrat alli in congress oppos everi effort to rein them in __PUNCT__

as recent as __DATE__ of last year he said that subprim_loan had been __PUNCT__ quot __PUNCT__ a good_idea __PUNCT__

well __PUNCT__ senat_obama __PUNCT__ that __PUNCT__ good_idea __PUNCT__ ha now plung thi countri into the worst financi_crisi sinc the great_depress __PUNCT__

to hear him talk now __PUNCT__ you think he alwai oppos the danger practic at these institut __PUNCT__

but there is absolut noth in hi record to suggest he did __PUNCT__

he wa sure familiar with the peopl who were creat thi problem __PUNCT__

the execut of fanni_mae and freddi_mac have advis him __PUNCT__ and he ha taken their monei for hi campaign __PUNCT__

he ha receiv more monei from fanni_mae and freddi_mac than ani other senat in histori __PUNCT__ with the except of the chairman of the committe overse them __PUNCT__

did he ever talk to the execut at fanni and freddi about these reckless loan __PUNCT__ did he ever discuss with them the stronger oversight i propos __PUNCT__ if senat_obama is such a champion of financi_regul __PUNCT__ why didn't he support these regul that could have prevent thi crisi in the first place __PUNCT__ he won't tell you __PUNCT__ but you deserv an answer __PUNCT__

even after he refus to lift a finger to prevent thi crisi __PUNCT__ when the crisi hit __PUNCT__ he wa miss in action __PUNCT__

he didn't start make call to round up vote until after the rescu bill fail in the hous and the market_crash __PUNCT__

we continu to see the price of delai todai as the market continu to fall __PUNCT__

todai the dow ha fallen below __NUM__ __PUNCT__

and yet __PUNCT__ member of hi own parti said thei felt no pressur to vote for the bill __PUNCT__

why didn't senat_obama work to pass thi bill from the start __PUNCT__ why did he let it fail and drag out thi crisi for a full week befor do a thing to help pass it __PUNCT__ again on tax __PUNCT__ we see a differ between what senat obama sai todai __PUNCT__ what he said yesterdai and what he ha actual done __PUNCT__

over the cours of thi campaign __PUNCT__ he ha had mani differ plan to rais your tax __PUNCT__

dure the democrat_primari __PUNCT__ he promis to doubl tax on everi american with a dividend or an invest __PUNCT__

he promis to rais payrol_tax __PUNCT__

he promis higher_tax on electr __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ senat_obama obama_claim he will give __NUM__ percent of american tax_relief __PUNCT__

he actual promis the same_thing when he wa run for senat in illinoi __PUNCT__ but onc elect he never introduc_legisl to do so __PUNCT__

instead __PUNCT__ he vote for the democrat budget resolut that promis to rais_tax on peopl_make just __NUM___dollar a year __PUNCT__

at the time __PUNCT__ he even said hi vote wa intend to get __PUNCT__ our nation_prioriti back on track __PUNCT__

if he such a defend of the middl_class __PUNCT__ why did he vote to rais their tax __PUNCT__ whatev ha ppene to the tax_relief he promis them when he wa a candid for the senat __PUNCT__ and why should middl_class class_american trust him to keep promis he ha alreadi broken __PUNCT__ senat_obama and i both have differ with how presid_bush ha handl the economi __PUNCT__

but he think tax ar too low __PUNCT__ and i think spend is too high __PUNCT__

the govern out of control_spend ha result in a weaker dollar __PUNCT__ rais the cost of groceri and gasolin __PUNCT__ and kill job __PUNCT__

i will veto pork barrel legisl and cut wast govern_spend __PUNCT__

senat_obama ha a differ plan __PUNCT__

accord to third parti estim __PUNCT__ he will increas_govern govern_spend by over __NUM___billion billion_dollar __PUNCT__

he ha deni it __PUNCT__ but he ha refus to tell you how much he doe plan to spend __PUNCT__

what is the total of hi increas_spend __PUNCT__ american deserv to know just how much more of their monei senat_obama intend to spend __PUNCT__ and how much more debt he plan to burden them with __PUNCT__

senat obama ha also critic earmark spend __PUNCT__ those wast pork barrel project stuck in spend_bill behind close_door __PUNCT__

and yet __PUNCT__ despit hi talk on the campaign_trail __PUNCT__ hi actual record is full of request for earmark project __PUNCT__

in hi three short year in the senat __PUNCT__ he ha request nearli a billion_dollar in pork project for hi state __PUNCT__ a million_dollar for everi dai he been in offic __PUNCT__

far from fight earmark in congress __PUNCT__ senat_obama ha been an eager particip in thi corrupt system __PUNCT__

in on instanc __PUNCT__ he sought more than __NUM___million million_dollar for a new projector at a planetarium in hi hometown __PUNCT__

coincident __PUNCT__ the chairman of that planetarium pledg to rais more than __MONEY__ for senat_obama obama_campaign __PUNCT__

we don't know if thei ever discuss the monei for the planetarium __PUNCT__ and no on ha ask senat_obama __PUNCT__

but even the appear of thi kind of insid __PUNCT__ deal disgust american __PUNCT__

i go to put a stop to that __PUNCT__ my friend __PUNCT__ if i presid __PUNCT__

i have made everi singl donor to my campaign publicli avail __PUNCT__ while senat obama ha taken in over __NUM___million million_dollar from undisclos sourc __PUNCT__

we have alreadi seen the potenti for fraud becaus of hi refus to disclos hi donor __PUNCT__

hi campaign had to return __MONEY__ in illeg foreign fund from palestinian donor __PUNCT__ and thi weekend __PUNCT__ we found out about anoth __MONEY__ in illeg donat __PUNCT__

why ha senat_obama refus to disclos the peopl who ar fund hi campaign __PUNCT__ again __PUNCT__ the american_peopl deserv answer __PUNCT__

on health_care __PUNCT__ senat_obama ha been mislead you about my plan to give you more monei for health_care __PUNCT__ and he ha been equal mislead about hi own plan __PUNCT__

he ha said hi goal is a singl_payer payer_system where govern is in charg of health_care and bureaucrat stand between you and your doctor __PUNCT__

under the plan he ha propos __PUNCT__ he will fine famili that don't have the kind of health_insur that senat_obama tell them to purchas __PUNCT__

he will fine employ who do not offer the health_insur that he think thei should offer __PUNCT__

what he doesn't sai __PUNCT__ and what nobodi ha ask __PUNCT__ is how big hi fine will be __PUNCT__

what he doesn't want you to know is that with a small fine __PUNCT__ hi plan will encourag compani to just pai the fine __PUNCT__ drop exist health_care coverag for their employe and leav them with onli on real option __PUNCT__ govern run health care __PUNCT__

who is the real senat_obama __PUNCT__ is he the candid who promis to cut middl_class tax __PUNCT__ or the politician who vote to rais middl class tax __PUNCT__ is he the candid who talk about regul or the politician who took monei from fanni_mae and freddi_mac and turn a blind_ey as thei ran our economi into a ditch __PUNCT__ is he the candid who promis chang __PUNCT__ or is he the politician who ha bought into everyth that is wrong with washington __PUNCT__ we can't chang the system with someon who never fought the system __PUNCT__

washington is on the wrong track and i go to set it right __PUNCT__

thei know i am go to chang washington __PUNCT__ becaus i done it befor __PUNCT__

thei know i go to reform our broken institut in washington and on wall_street becaus i done it befor __PUNCT__
