you ar meet at a time of great turmoil for the american_economi __PUNCT__

we ar now confront with a financi_crisi as seriou as ani we have face sinc the great_depress __PUNCT__

action must be taken to restor confid in our economi __PUNCT__

let me be clear __PUNCT__ it outrag that we find ourselv in a posit where taxpay must bear the burden for the greed and irrespons of wall_street and washington __PUNCT__

but we also know that a failur to act would have grave consequ for the job __PUNCT__ and save __PUNCT__ and retir of the american_peopl __PUNCT__

over the last few dai __PUNCT__ i been in close contact with secretari paulson and leader in congress __PUNCT__

i also had the opportun to speak directli to the american peopl about what we need to do move_forward __PUNCT__

i laid out sever clear principl that i believ must be a part of our respons to thi crisi __PUNCT__

first __PUNCT__ we need to set up an independ board __PUNCT__ select by democrat and republican __PUNCT__ to provid oversight and account for how and where thi monei is spent at everi step of the wai __PUNCT__

second __PUNCT__ if american_taxpay financ thi solut __PUNCT__ thei should be treat like investor __PUNCT__

that mean wall_street and washington should give everi penni of taxpay __PUNCT__ monei_back onc thi economi recov __PUNCT__

third __PUNCT__ we cannot and will not simpli bailout wall_street without help the million of innoc homeown who ar struggl to stai in their home __PUNCT__

thei deserv a plan too __PUNCT__

final __PUNCT__ and thi is import __PUNCT__ the american_peopl should not be spend on dime to reward the same wall_street ceo whose greed and irrespons got us into thi mess __PUNCT__

congression_leader have made progress in their negoti __PUNCT__ and appear close to a deal that would includ these principl __PUNCT__

presid_bush address some of these issu last night __PUNCT__ and i pleas that senat_mccain ha decid to embrac them too __PUNCT__

now is a time to come togeth __PUNCT__ democrat and republican __PUNCT__ in a spirit of cooper on behalf of the american_peopl __PUNCT__

later todai __PUNCT__ i be travel to washington to offer my help in get thi deal done __PUNCT__

then __PUNCT__ i travel to oxford on fridai for the first of our presidenti_debat __PUNCT__

our elect is in __NUM___dai __PUNCT__

our economi is in crisi __PUNCT__ and our nation is fight two war abroad __PUNCT__

the american_peopl deserv to hear directli from myself and senat_mccain about how we intend to lead our countri __PUNCT__

the time ar too seriou to put our campaign on hold __PUNCT__ or to ignor the full_rang of issu that the next presid will face __PUNCT__

sinc cgi is about deed __PUNCT__ not just word __PUNCT__ let me tell you about four specif commit that i will make on four issu that cgi ha focus on __PUNCT__ climat chang __PUNCT__ poverti __PUNCT__ educ __PUNCT__ and health __PUNCT__ if i have the opportun to serv as presid of the unit_state __PUNCT__

here how i approach these issu __PUNCT__

we live in a time when our destini ar share __PUNCT__

the world is more intertwin than at ani time in human_histori __PUNCT__

wall that divid old enemi have come down __PUNCT__

market have open __PUNCT__

the spread of inform and technolog ha reduc barrier to opportun and prosper __PUNCT__ and open_door to new competit and risk __PUNCT__

we have heard thi time and again sinc the end of the cold_war __PUNCT__

and over the last few week __PUNCT__ thi truth ha been reinforc anew __PUNCT__

in america __PUNCT__ we have seen that there is no divid_line between the abil of folk to live their dream on main_street __PUNCT__ and the bottom_line of invest_bank on wall_street __PUNCT__

there is a lesson that cut across thi econom_crisi __PUNCT__

prosper cannot be sustain if it shut peopl out __PUNCT__

growth cannot just come from the top down __PUNCT__ it must come from the bottom up __PUNCT__ with new job that pai good wage __PUNCT__ and new innov that creat opportun across the globe __PUNCT__

and in the __NUM___centuri __PUNCT__ we must also recogn that it not just prosper that come from the bottom up __PUNCT__

our secur is share as well __PUNCT__

the carbon_emiss in boston or beij don't just pollut the immedi atmospher __PUNCT__ thei imperil our planet __PUNCT__

pocket of extrem_poverti in somalia can breed conflict that spill across border __PUNCT__

the child who goe to a radic madrasa outsid of karachi can end up endang the secur of my daughter in chicago __PUNCT__

a deadli flu that begin in indonesia can find it wai to indiana within dai __PUNCT__

climat chang __PUNCT__

poverti __PUNCT__

extrem __PUNCT__

diseas __PUNCT__

these problem offend our common human __PUNCT__

thei also threaten our common secur __PUNCT__

you know thi __PUNCT__

the question is what we do about it __PUNCT__

we not go to face these threat of the futur by grasp at the idea of the past __PUNCT__

in mani case __PUNCT__ we know what we have to do __PUNCT__

we talk about the solut year after year __PUNCT__

thi must be the time when we choos not to wait ani longer __PUNCT__

we must marshal the will __PUNCT__

we must see that none of these problem can be dealt with in isol __PUNCT__ nor can we deni on and effect tackl anoth __PUNCT__

that why you come to cgi __PUNCT__

becaus that what thi moment call us to do __PUNCT__

no singl issu sit at the crossroad of as mani current as energi __PUNCT__

our depend on oil and ga fund terror and tyranni __PUNCT__ it ha forc famili to pai their wage at the pump __PUNCT__ and it put the futur of our planet in peril __PUNCT__

thi is a secur threat __PUNCT__ an econom albatross __PUNCT__ and a moral challeng of our time __PUNCT__

the time to debat whether climat chang is manmad ha past __PUNCT__ it time __PUNCT__ final __PUNCT__ for america to lead __PUNCT__

the first commit that i make todai is set a goal of an __NUM__ percent reduct in greenhous_ga_emiss by __NUM__ __PUNCT__

to do our part __PUNCT__ we implement a cap __PUNCT__ and __PUNCT__ trade program so that there a price for pollut __PUNCT__ and resourc to transform our energi_economi __PUNCT__

i propos an invest of __MONEY___billion in altern_energi over ten_year __PUNCT__ which will creat million of job and break the cycl of our addict to oil __PUNCT__

we need to do more than drill __PUNCT__

now is the time to develop everi form of altern_energi __PUNCT__ solar __PUNCT__ wind __PUNCT__ and biofuel __PUNCT__ as well as technolog that can make coal clean and nuclear_power safe __PUNCT__

we need to rais fuel_economi standard __PUNCT__ put more plug __PUNCT__ in hybrid car on the road __PUNCT__ and find new wai to be energi_effici __PUNCT__

abroad __PUNCT__ the unit_state must get off the sidelin __PUNCT__

we reach out to the leader of the biggest carbon emit nation and ask them to join a new global energi forum to lai the foundat for the next gener of climat protocol __PUNCT__

we build an allianc of oil __PUNCT__ import nation __PUNCT__ and work togeth to reduc our demand __PUNCT__ and break the grip of opec __PUNCT__

and as we develop clean_energi __PUNCT__ we should share technolog and innov with the nation of the world __PUNCT__

thi effort to confront climat chang will be part of our strategi to allevi poverti __PUNCT__

becaus we know that it is the world poor who will feel __PUNCT__ and who mai alreadi be feel __PUNCT__ the affect of a warm planet __PUNCT__

if we fail to act __PUNCT__ famin could displac hundr of million __PUNCT__ fuel competit and conflict over basic resourc like food and water __PUNCT__

we all have a stake in reduc_poverti __PUNCT__

there is suffer across the globe that doesn't need to be toler in the __NUM___centuri __PUNCT__

and it lead to pocket of instabl that provid fertil breed ground for threat like terror and the smuggl of deadli weapon that cannot be contain by the draw of a border or the distanc of an ocean __PUNCT__

these aren't simpli disconnect corner of an interconnect world __PUNCT__

that is why the second commit that i will make is embrac the millennium_develop goal __PUNCT__ which aim to cut extrem_poverti in half by __NUM__ __PUNCT__

thi will take more resourc from the unit_state __PUNCT__ and as presid i will increas our foreign assist to provid them __PUNCT__

but resourc must be focus on the right prioriti __PUNCT__

no on want to put good_monei after bad __PUNCT__ or ignor the underli caus at the root of these problem __PUNCT__

we shouldn't just settl for a statu_quo __PUNCT__ anywher __PUNCT__ where you can't start a busi without pai a bribe __PUNCT__

corrupt wast our tax_dollar __PUNCT__

it also ruin live __PUNCT__

thi is a human right issu __PUNCT__ and we need to treat it like on __PUNCT__

we shouldn't help those in need without help them help themselv __PUNCT__

that why i partner with the privat_sector in creat a new fund for small and medium enterpris __PUNCT__ so we invest in idea that can creat growth and job in the develop_world __PUNCT__

abov all __PUNCT__ we must do our part to see that all children have the basic right to learn __PUNCT__

there is noth more disappoint than a child deni the hope that come with go to school __PUNCT__ and there is noth more danger than a child who is taught to distrust and then to destroi __PUNCT__

that why the third commit i make is work to eras the global primari educ gap by __NUM__ __PUNCT__

everi child __PUNCT__ everi boi __PUNCT__ and everi girl __PUNCT__ should have the abil to go to school __PUNCT__

to ensur that our nation doe it part to meet that goal __PUNCT__ we need to establish a two billion_dollar global educ fund __PUNCT__

and i look forward to sign the bipartisan educ for all act that wa first introduc by hillari_clinton __PUNCT__ a true champion for children __PUNCT__

final __PUNCT__ we must continu the progress that been made to advanc the caus of global health __PUNCT__

i been proud to support the pepfar program __PUNCT__

i think presid_bush __PUNCT__ and mani of you there todai __PUNCT__ have shown real leadership in the fight against hiv/aid __PUNCT__ tuberculosi __PUNCT__ and malaria __PUNCT__

thi is a fight that i will continu as presid __PUNCT__

diseas stand in the wai of progress on so mani front __PUNCT__

it can condemn popul to poverti __PUNCT__ and prevent a child from get an educ __PUNCT__

and yet far too mani peopl still die of prevent ill __PUNCT__

todai __PUNCT__ i like to focu on on __PUNCT__ malaria __PUNCT__

we have elimin malaria in the unit_state __PUNCT__ but nearli on million_peopl around the world still die from a mosquito bite everi year __PUNCT__

__NUM__ percent of the victim ar african children under the ag of __NUM__ __PUNCT__

in africa __PUNCT__ a child di from a mosquito bite everi thirti second __PUNCT__

beyond the devast human toll __PUNCT__ malaria weigh down public_health health_system __PUNCT__ set back global capac to fight other diseas __PUNCT__

so todai __PUNCT__ i want to join with the global malaria commun that is meet here in new york in make a new commit __PUNCT__ when i am presid __PUNCT__ we will set the goal of end all death from malaria by __NUM__ __PUNCT__

it time to rid the world of death from a diseas that doesn't have to take live __PUNCT__

the unit_state must lead __PUNCT__ and when i am presid we will step up our focu on prevent and treatment around the world to get thi done __PUNCT__

the first project of my small and medium enterpris fund will be invest in the develop_world capac to meet the demand for __NUM___million bednet __PUNCT__

we also increas access to doctor and nurs through a new program __PUNCT__ health infrastructur __NUM__ __PUNCT__ that train medic profession in countri around the world __PUNCT__ and give them incent to stai there __PUNCT__

and we invest in research and develop into new vaccin __PUNCT__ and ensur that low_cost anti __PUNCT__ malaria drug ar avail everywher __PUNCT__

thi effort must bring togeth govern from around the world __PUNCT__

it must be a public __PUNCT__ privat_partnership that draw on the resourc __PUNCT__ and idea __PUNCT__ and resili of busi and non __PUNCT__ profit and faith group __PUNCT__

it must be a caus for countless individu __PUNCT__ and a common_goal that unit us all __PUNCT__

in short __PUNCT__ the effort to erad malaria must draw on the spirit that drive not simpli the commit at cgi __PUNCT__ but the commit that is visibl everywher that peopl go to work to make their commun __PUNCT__ their countri __PUNCT__ and our world a better place __PUNCT__

the scale of our challeng mai be great __PUNCT__

the pace of chang mai be swift __PUNCT__

but we know that it need not be fear __PUNCT__

the landscap of the __NUM___centuri ar still our to shape __PUNCT__

we see the potenti for progress everi time someon start a job creat new energi __PUNCT__ or an idea carri a commun out of poverti __PUNCT__ we see it everi time a girl walk through the door of a new school __PUNCT__ or a boi live to see anoth dai becaus he had a simpl net around hi bed __PUNCT__

these ar the dream that we must make our own __PUNCT__

we live in a time when our destini ar share __PUNCT__

but our destini will be written by us __PUNCT__ not for us __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ it fall to us to get to work __PUNCT__
