Barack Obama

our economi ha been struggl for some time now __PUNCT__

and as i travel across ohio __PUNCT__ i seen the face of thi economi __PUNCT__ a mother who told me she can't afford health_care for her sick child __PUNCT__ a father who worri he won't be abl to send hi children to colleg __PUNCT__ and senior who seen their pension disappear becaus the compani thei gave their live to went bankrupt __PUNCT__

i don't have to tell you about thi __PUNCT__

folk around here have been directli impact by the chang in our economi __PUNCT__ whether it wa the loss of steel job over the past few decad __PUNCT__ or the close of the ford plant that wa here for so long __PUNCT__

and folk in thi area ar still worri about whether thei go to lose their job and how thei go to make end meet if that happen __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ if we honest with ourselv __PUNCT__ we acknowledg that we can't stop global in it track and that some of these job aren't come back __PUNCT__

but what i refus to accept is that we have to stand idli by while worker watch their job get ship oversea __PUNCT__

we need a presid who work as hard for you as you work for your famili __PUNCT__

and that the kind of presid i intend to be __PUNCT__

i propos a job __PUNCT__ creation agenda that start with make sure trade work for american_worker __PUNCT__

we can't keep pass unfair trade_deal like nafta that put special_interest over worker __PUNCT__ interest __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ senat_clinton ha been go to great_length on the campaign_trail to distanc herself from nafta __PUNCT__

yesterdai __PUNCT__ she said nafta wa __PUNCT__ negoti __PUNCT__ by the first presid_bush __PUNCT__ not by her husband __PUNCT__

but let be clear __PUNCT__ it wa her husband who got nafta pass __PUNCT__

in her own book __PUNCT__ senat_clinton call nafta on of __PUNCT__ bill success __PUNCT__ and __PUNCT__ legisl victori __PUNCT__

and yesterdai __PUNCT__ senat clinton also said i wrong to point out that she onc support nafta __PUNCT__

but the fact is __PUNCT__ she wa sai great_thing about nafta until she start run for presid __PUNCT__

a coupl year after it pass __PUNCT__ she said nafta wa a __PUNCT__ free and fair_trade trade_agreement __PUNCT__ and that it wa __PUNCT__ prove it worth __PUNCT__

and in __NUM__ she said __PUNCT__ i think __PUNCT__ on balanc __PUNCT__ nafta ha been good for new york and america __PUNCT__

on million_job have been lost becaus of nafta __PUNCT__ includ nearli __NUM___job here in ohio __PUNCT__

and yet __PUNCT__ ten_year after nafta pass __PUNCT__ senat_clinton said it wa good for america __PUNCT__

well __PUNCT__ i don't think nafta ha been good for america __PUNCT__ and i never have __PUNCT__

i didn't just start critic unfair trade_deal like nafta becaus i start run for offic __PUNCT__ i do it becaus i seen what happen to a commun when the factori close down and the job move oversea __PUNCT__

i began my career as a commun_organ on the south_side of chicago __PUNCT__ fight jobless and poverti in neighborhood that were devast when the local steel plant_close __PUNCT__

and it becaus of thi longstand commit to work_famili that i will not sign ani trade_agreement as presid that doe not have protect for our environ and protect for american_worker __PUNCT__

and i pass the patriot employ act that i been fight for ever sinc i ran for the senat so we can end tax_break for compani that ship our job_oversea __PUNCT__ and give those break to compani that creat good_job with decent_wage here in america __PUNCT__

it also time to let our union do what thei do best __PUNCT__ organ our worker __PUNCT__

if a major of worker want a union __PUNCT__ thei should get a union __PUNCT__

it that simpl __PUNCT__

we need to stand up to the busi_lobbi __PUNCT__ and pass the employe free choic act __PUNCT__

that why i been fight for it in the senat __PUNCT__ and that why i make it the law of the land when i presid of the unit_state __PUNCT__

we can also invest in american_job by invest in america __PUNCT__ and rebuild our road and bridg __PUNCT__

i propos a nation infrastructur reinvest bank that will invest __MONEY___billion over ten_year __PUNCT__

thi will multipli into almost half a trillion_dollar of addit infrastructur_spend and gener nearli two million new job __PUNCT__ mani of them in the construct industri that been hard hit by the hous_crisi we face __PUNCT__

in addit __PUNCT__ we also got to do more to creat the green_job that ar job of the futur __PUNCT__

my energi plan will put __MONEY___billion over ten_year into establish a green_energi sector that will creat up to __NUM___million new job over the next two decad __PUNCT__ includ job right here in ohio that pai well and can't be outsourc __PUNCT__

we also provid fund to help manufactur convert to green_technolog and help worker learn the skill thei need for these job __PUNCT__

we know that all of thi must be done in a respons wai __PUNCT__ without ad to the alreadi obscen debt that ha grown by four trillion_dollar under georg_bush __PUNCT__

we cannot build our futur on a credit_card issu by the bank of china __PUNCT__

and that is why i pai for everi part of thi job __PUNCT__ creation agenda __PUNCT__ by end thi war in iraq that cost us billion __PUNCT__ close tax loophol for corpor __PUNCT__ put a price on carbon pollut __PUNCT__ and end georg_bush bush_tax_cut for the wealthiest american __PUNCT__

but in the end __PUNCT__ enact thi agenda won't just requir an invest __PUNCT__

it will requir a new spirit of cooper __PUNCT__ innov __PUNCT__ and share sacrific __PUNCT__

we have to remind ourselv that we rise and fall as on nation __PUNCT__ that a countri in which onli a few prosper is antithet to our ideal and our democraci __PUNCT__ and that those of us who have benefit greatli from the bless of thi countri have a solemn oblig to open the door of opportun __PUNCT__ not just for our children __PUNCT__ but to all of america children __PUNCT__

that the kind of vision i have for thi countri __PUNCT__ and that the kind of vision i hope to make_real as presid of the unit_state __PUNCT__
