Barack Obama

i often said that thi elect is a defin moment in our histori __PUNCT__

on major_issu like the war in iraq or the warm of our planet __PUNCT__ the decis we make in __DATE__ and over the next few year will shape a gener __PUNCT__ if not a centuri __PUNCT__

nowher is that more true than when it come to our economi __PUNCT__

you don't have to watch tv or read the newspap to know what happen __PUNCT__ you feel it in your own live and in your own commun __PUNCT__

__DATE__ wa the seventh straight month of job_loss __PUNCT__

ga_price ar out of control __PUNCT__

food_price ar soar __PUNCT__

if you lucki enough to have health_care __PUNCT__ your copai __PUNCT__ deduct __PUNCT__ and premium ar skyrocket __PUNCT__

colleg is becom less afford __PUNCT__

and we seen more foreclosur than at ani time sinc the great_depress __PUNCT__

back in the 1990 __PUNCT__ your incom grew by __MONEY__ and over the last sever year __PUNCT__ thei actual fallen by nearli __MONEY__

so for million of famili __PUNCT__ these anxieti ar grow wors __PUNCT__

mani peopl ar lose faith in that fundament promis of america __PUNCT__ that if you work_hard __PUNCT__ you be abl to build a better life not just for yourself __PUNCT__ but for your children and grandchildren __PUNCT__

part of it ha to do with fundament chang in our economi __PUNCT__

over the last few decad __PUNCT__ revolut in technolog and commun have made it so that corpor can send good_job wherev there an internet connect __PUNCT__

children here in titusvil aren't just grow up compet for good job with children in california or indiana __PUNCT__ but with children in beij and bangalor __PUNCT__

but what we also have to rememb is that our econom_problem aren't simpli due to chang in how our economi work __PUNCT__ and thei aren't just a normal part of the busi_cycl __PUNCT__

thei also due to irrespons decis that were made on wall_street and in washington __PUNCT__

in recent_year __PUNCT__ we have relearn the essenti truth that in the long_run __PUNCT__ we cannot have a thrive wall_street and a struggl main_street __PUNCT__

when wage ar flat __PUNCT__ price ar rise __PUNCT__ and more american ar mire in debt __PUNCT__ the economi as a whole suffer __PUNCT__

when a reckless few game the system __PUNCT__ as we seen in thi hous_crisi __PUNCT__ million suffer and we all affect __PUNCT__

when special_interest put their thumb on the scale __PUNCT__ and distort the free_market __PUNCT__ the peopl who compet by the rule come in last __PUNCT__

and when our govern_fail to meet it oblig __PUNCT__ to provid sensibl oversight and stand on the side of work_peopl and invest in their futur __PUNCT__ america pai a heavi price __PUNCT__

so we have a choic to make in thi elect __PUNCT__

we can either choos a new direct for our economi __PUNCT__ or we can keep do what we been do __PUNCT__

my oppon believ we on the right cours __PUNCT__

he said our economi ha made great progress these past eight year __PUNCT__

he embrac the bush econom_polici and promis to continu them __PUNCT__

well __PUNCT__ i just want to ask you a simpl question __PUNCT__

ar you better off now than you were four year_ago or eight year ago __PUNCT__ can you afford anoth four year of the same econom_polici that we had under georg w __PUNCT__ bush __PUNCT__

we tri those polici __PUNCT__

thei haven't work __PUNCT__

it time to leav them in the past where thei belong __PUNCT__

it time for someth new __PUNCT__

it time to restor balanc and fair to our economi so it work for all american __PUNCT__ recogn that we must grow togeth __PUNCT__ wall_street and main_street __PUNCT__ profit and wage __PUNCT__

that start with eas the burden on hardwork famili __PUNCT__

if i elect_presid __PUNCT__ i put a __MONEY__ tax_cut in the pocket of __NUM__ __PUNCT__ of worker and their famili __PUNCT__

i provid relief to struggl homeown __PUNCT__

i elimin incom_tax for senior make under __MONEY__ a year __PUNCT__

and i give work_parent the support thei need by make childcar afford and expand paid leav __PUNCT__ and we make sure that women get equal pai for equal work __PUNCT__

but you need relief right now __PUNCT__

that why yesterdai __PUNCT__ i announc a two __PUNCT__ part emerg_plan to help struggl famili make end meet and get our economi back on track __PUNCT__

the first part of my plan is to tax the windfal profit of oil_compani and us some of that monei to help you pai the rise_price of ga __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ thi is an area where my oppon and i disagre __PUNCT__ becaus he oppos us thi monei to help you pai your bill __PUNCT__

the other dai __PUNCT__ we learn that exxon mobil made nearli __MONEY___billion last quarter __PUNCT__

to put it anoth wai __PUNCT__ thei made___MONEY__ everi second __PUNCT__

that more than __MONEY__ in the time it take you to fill up a tank of ga __PUNCT__

and senat_mccain actual want to give oil_compani like exxon anoth __MONEY___billion in tax_cut __PUNCT__

well __PUNCT__ i don't think we should be give tax_break to oil_compani that ar do better than ever at a time when you struggl more than ever __PUNCT__

it time to us some of their record profit to help you pai record price by put a __MONEY__ emerg energi rebat in the pocket of work_famili __PUNCT__

the second part of my plan is a __MONEY___billion stimulu to help jump __PUNCT__ start job_creation and help local_commun that ar struggl due to our econom_downturn __PUNCT__

half of thi stimulu will go to state_govern that ar face big budget shortfal __PUNCT__

and we invest the other half in our nation infrastructur so we can creat new job and save over on million_job that ar in danger of be cut __PUNCT__ rebuild our crumbl road and bridg __PUNCT__ and repair our crumbl school __PUNCT__

and we have to do more than provid short __PUNCT__ term relief __PUNCT__

we have to secur our long __PUNCT__ term prosper and strengthen america competit in the __NUM___centuri __PUNCT__

on of the area where we ar in danger of lose our competit edg is our space_program __PUNCT__

when i wa grow up __PUNCT__ nasa inspir the world with achiev we ar still proud of __PUNCT__

todai __PUNCT__ we have an administr that ha set ambiti goal for nasa without give nasa the support it need to reach them __PUNCT__

as a result __PUNCT__ thei had to cut_back on research __PUNCT__ and trim their program __PUNCT__ which mean that after the space shuttl shut down in __NUM__ we go to have to reli on russian spacecraft to keep us in orbit __PUNCT__

we cannot cede our leadership in space __PUNCT__

that why i will help close the gap and ensur that our space_program doesn't suffer when the shuttl goe out of servic by work with senat_bill nelson to add at least on addit space shuttl flight beyond __NUM__ __PUNCT__ by support continu fund for nasa __PUNCT__ by speed the develop of the shuttl successor __PUNCT__ and by make sure that all those who work in the space industri in florida do not lose their job when the shuttl is retir __PUNCT__ becaus we cannot afford to lose their expertis __PUNCT__

more broadli __PUNCT__ we need a real vision for space_explor __PUNCT__

to help formul thi vision __PUNCT__ i reestablish the nation aeronaut and space council so that we can develop a plan to explor the solar_system __PUNCT__ a plan that involv both human and robot mission __PUNCT__ and enlist both intern partner and the privat_sector __PUNCT__

and as america lead the world to long __PUNCT__ term explor of the moon __PUNCT__ mar __PUNCT__ and beyond __PUNCT__ let also tap nasa ingenu to build the airplan of tomorrow and to studi our own planet so we can combat global_climat chang __PUNCT__

under my watch __PUNCT__ nasa will inspir the world __PUNCT__ make_america stronger __PUNCT__ and help grow the economi here in florida __PUNCT__

that what thi elect is all about __PUNCT__

it about rais our sight __PUNCT__ seiz thi moment __PUNCT__ and reclaim our destini in thi countri __PUNCT__

and yet __PUNCT__ at a time when the stake could not be higher __PUNCT__ when the challeng_face our countri could not be greater __PUNCT__ my oppon is talk about britnei and pari __PUNCT__

well __PUNCT__ i think the american_peopl deserv better __PUNCT__

senat_mccain and i have real differ and that what we should be talk about __PUNCT__ becaus we have a real choic to make in __DATE__ __PUNCT__

we can choos to go anoth four year without truli solv our energi_crisi __PUNCT__ or we can invest in renew_energi __PUNCT__ creat up to five million green_job that pai well and can't be outsourc __PUNCT__ and build an american green_energi sector so that we less vulner to oil_price shock and __MONEY__ a gallon ga __PUNCT__

that what we can choos to do in thi elect __PUNCT__

we can choos to do noth about disappear job and shutter factori for anoth four year __PUNCT__ or we can encourag job_creation in the unit_state of america __PUNCT__

we can end tax_break for corpor that ship job_oversea and give them to compani that creat_job here in thi countri __PUNCT__

we can choos to go anoth four year with a broken health_care_system __PUNCT__ or we can final guarante health care for anyon who want it __PUNCT__ make it afford for anyon who need it __PUNCT__ and cut health_care_cost for manufactur to help make them more competit __PUNCT__

that a choic we can make in thi elect __PUNCT__

we can choos to stai mire in the same educ debat that consum washington for decad __PUNCT__ or we can invest in earli_childhood childhood_educ __PUNCT__ recruit an armi of qualifi teacher with better pai and more support __PUNCT__ and make colleg afford by offer an annual __MONEY__ tax_credit in exchang for commun or nation_servic __PUNCT__

that how we prepar everi american to compet and succe in our global_economi __PUNCT__

we can choos to go anoth four year with the same reckless fiscal_polici that have bust our budget __PUNCT__ wreak_havoc on our economi __PUNCT__ and mortgag our children futur on a mountain of debt __PUNCT__ or we can restor fiscal_respons in washington by wind down a war in iraq that cost___MONEY__ __MONEY___billion a month __PUNCT__ by cut wast spend __PUNCT__ by shut corpor loophol and tax_haven __PUNCT__ and by roll_back the bush_tax_cut for the wealthiest american __PUNCT__

these ar the choic we face in __DATE__ __PUNCT__

we can choos to remain on the path that ha led our economi into so much troubl __PUNCT__ or we can reclaim the idea that here in thi countri __PUNCT__ you can make it if you try __PUNCT__

in the end __PUNCT__ that all most american ar ask for __PUNCT__

it not a lot __PUNCT__

you don't expect govern to solv all your problem __PUNCT__

you want to be self __PUNCT__ reliant and independ __PUNCT__

you want to be respons for your own live and take care of your own famili __PUNCT__

but what you do expect is a govern that isn't run by the special_interest __PUNCT__

what you do expect is that if you will to work_hard __PUNCT__ you should be abl to find a job that pai a decent_wage __PUNCT__ that you shouldn't go bankrupt when you get sick __PUNCT__ that you should be abl to send your children to colleg even if you not rich __PUNCT__ and that you should be abl to retir with digniti and secur __PUNCT__
