we ar face a veri seriou challeng __PUNCT__ and all of us __PUNCT__ all of us __PUNCT__ have a stake in it solut __PUNCT__

becaus the credit_market ar frozen right now __PUNCT__ there a rippl_effect throughout our economi __PUNCT__

busi larg and small ar find it imposs to get loan __PUNCT__ which mean thei can't bui new equip or make payrol __PUNCT__

auto plant that have been around for decad ar close their door and lai off worker who never known anoth job in their entir life __PUNCT__

and we have alreadi lost three __PUNCT__ quarter of a million_job just thi year __PUNCT__

here in indianapoli and all across america __PUNCT__ you see your hour get cut or realiz that you can't pai everi bill that sit on the kitchen counter __PUNCT__

it harder to make the mortgag or fill up your ga tank and some peopl don't even know whether thei be abl to keep the electr on at the end of the month __PUNCT__

the monei you been put awai for your retir or your kid __PUNCT__ colleg_educ is disappear faster than you can count __PUNCT__

the dream that so mani gener have fought for feel like it slowli slip awai __PUNCT__

but i here todai to tell you that there ar better dai ahead __PUNCT__

i know these ar tough_time __PUNCT__

i know that mani of you ar anxiou about the futur __PUNCT__

but thi isn't a time for fear or panic __PUNCT__

thi is a time for resolv and leadership __PUNCT__

i know that we can steer ourselv out of thi crisi __PUNCT__

becaus that who we ar __PUNCT__

becaus thi is the unit_state of america __PUNCT__

thi is a nation that ha face down war and depress __PUNCT__ great_challeng and great threat __PUNCT__

and at each and everi moment __PUNCT__ we have risen to meet these challeng __PUNCT__ not as democrat __PUNCT__ not as republican __PUNCT__ but as american __PUNCT__

with resolv __PUNCT__

with confid __PUNCT__

with that fundament belief that here in america __PUNCT__ our destini is not written for us __PUNCT__ but by us __PUNCT__

that who we ar __PUNCT__ and that the countri we need to be right now __PUNCT__

america still ha the most talent __PUNCT__ most product_worker of ani countri on earth who work two job or three job and take the last bu home at night becaus thei want someth more for their children __PUNCT__

we still the home to innov and technolog __PUNCT__ colleg and univers that ar the envi of the world __PUNCT__

some of the biggest idea in histori have come from our small_busi and our research facil __PUNCT__

it won't be easi __PUNCT__ but there no reason we can't steer ourselv out of thi crisi and make thi centuri anoth american_centuri __PUNCT__

of cours we can __PUNCT__

but i also know thi __PUNCT__

it will take a new direct __PUNCT__

it will take new leadership in washington __PUNCT__

it will take a real chang in the polici and polit of the last eight year __PUNCT__

and that why the decis you make in twenti __PUNCT__ seven dai is so import __PUNCT__

that why thi is no ordinari elect __PUNCT__ becaus thi is no ordinari moment for america __PUNCT__

in last night debat __PUNCT__ john_mccain and i each had the chanc to make the case for chang __PUNCT__ to talk about what we would do differ from the last eight year when it come to lift our middl __PUNCT__ class __PUNCT__ grow our economi __PUNCT__ and restor our prosper __PUNCT__

but all we heard from senat_mccain wa more of the same bush econom that led us to thi point __PUNCT__

take health_care __PUNCT__

we were both ask whether we believ that health care should final be the right of everi american __PUNCT__

i believ it should __PUNCT__

but senat_mccain didn't sai that __PUNCT__

and when you look at hi radic health_care_plan __PUNCT__ you can see why __PUNCT__

he talk about give everi famili a __MONEY__ credit to bui_health health_care __PUNCT__ but he didn't mention last night that he also tax your benefit for the first time in histori __PUNCT__

it an old washington bait and switch __PUNCT__

he give you a tax_credit with on hand __PUNCT__ but rais your tax with the other __PUNCT__

and he didn't mention that the averag health_care_plan cost___MONEY__ in the first place __PUNCT__

senat_mccain didn't tell us about the studi that sai hi plan would caus __NUM___million_american to lose their health_insur __PUNCT__ or how the chamber of commerc said it would be a disast for busi __PUNCT__ or how it would de __PUNCT__ regul the insur_industri so that thei don't have to cover thing like mammogram __PUNCT__ or vaccin __PUNCT__ or matern care __PUNCT__

he think we won't notic these thing __PUNCT__

well __PUNCT__ i got new for john_mccain __PUNCT__ we notic __PUNCT__ we know better __PUNCT__ and we not go to let him get awai with it __PUNCT__

thi issu is person for me __PUNCT__

my mother di of ovarian cancer at the ag of __NUM__ and i never forget how she spent the final month of her life ly in a hospit bed __PUNCT__ fight with her insur_compani becaus thei claim that her cancer wa a pre __PUNCT__ exist condit and didn't want to pai for treatment __PUNCT__

if i am presid __PUNCT__ i will make sure those insur compani can never do that again __PUNCT__

my health_care_plan will ensur that insur_compani can't discrimin against those who ar sick and need care most __PUNCT__

if you have health_insur __PUNCT__ the onli thing that will chang under my plan is the amount you pai in premium __PUNCT__

that will be less __PUNCT__

and if you don't have health insur __PUNCT__ you be abl to get the same_kind of health_insur that member of congress get for themselv __PUNCT__

we invest in prevent_care and new technolog to final lower the cost of health_care for famili __PUNCT__ busi __PUNCT__ and the entir economi __PUNCT__

that the chang we need __PUNCT__ and that the choic you face in thi elect __PUNCT__

even as so mani american ar worri about their medic_bill or keep their job or stai in their home __PUNCT__ senat_mccain mccain_campaign announc last week that thei plan to __PUNCT__ turn the page __PUNCT__ on the discuss about our economi and spend the final_week of thi elect attack me instead __PUNCT__

hi campaign actual said __PUNCT__ and i quot __PUNCT__ if we keep talk about the economi __PUNCT__ we go to lose __PUNCT__

well i got new for john_mccain __PUNCT__

thi isn't about lose a campaign __PUNCT__ thi is about american who ar lose their job __PUNCT__ and their home __PUNCT__ and their life_save __PUNCT__

i can take four more week of john_mccain attack __PUNCT__ but america can't take four more year of john mccain georg_bush bush_polici __PUNCT__

we can't afford four more year of the econom_theori that sai we should give more and more to those with the most and hope that prosper trickl down to everyon els __PUNCT__

we can't afford more four year of john_mccain call for less regul so that no on in washington is watch anyon on wall_street __PUNCT__

we seen where that led us and we not go back __PUNCT__

it is time to turn the page on eight year of econom_polici that put wall_street befor main_street but end up hurt both __PUNCT__

we need polici that grow our economi from the bottom __PUNCT__ up __PUNCT__ so that everi american __PUNCT__ everywher ha the chanc to get ahead __PUNCT__

not just corpor_ceo __PUNCT__ but their secretari too __PUNCT__

not just the person who own the factori __PUNCT__ but the men and women who work on it floor __PUNCT__

becaus if we learn anyth from thi econom_crisi __PUNCT__ it that we all connect __PUNCT__ we all in thi togeth __PUNCT__ and we will rise or fall as on nation __PUNCT__ as on peopl __PUNCT__

the rescu plan that pass congress last week isn't the end of what we do to strengthen thi economi __PUNCT__ it onli the begin __PUNCT__

now we need to pass a rescu plan for the middl __PUNCT__ class that will provid everi famili immedi relief to cope with rise food and ga_price __PUNCT__ save on million_job by rebuild our school and road __PUNCT__ and help state and citi avoid budget_cut and tax_increas __PUNCT__

and we should extend expir unemploy_benefit to those american who lost their job and can't find new on __PUNCT__

i been fight for thi plan for month __PUNCT__

my oppon ha said noth __PUNCT__

and that is the choic in thi elect __PUNCT__

you heard a lot about tax in thi campaign __PUNCT__

well here the truth __PUNCT__ john_mccain and i ar both offer tax_cut __PUNCT__

the differ is __PUNCT__ he want to give the averag fortun___NUM__ ceo a __MONEY__ tax_cut but noth at all to over __NUM___million_american __PUNCT__

i give a middl __PUNCT__ class tax_cut to __NUM__ __PUNCT__ of all worker __PUNCT__

and if you make less than __MONEY__ a year __PUNCT__ you won't see your tax_increas on singl dime __PUNCT__ not your payrol_tax __PUNCT__ not your incom_tax __PUNCT__ not your capit_gain gain_tax __PUNCT__ noth __PUNCT__

becaus in an economi like thi __PUNCT__ the last thing we should do is rais_tax on the middl __PUNCT__ class __PUNCT__

my oppon want to give __MONEY___million in tax_cut to the biggest corpor in america __PUNCT__

i will elimin capit_gain gain_tax for the small_busi and the start __PUNCT__ up that will creat the high __PUNCT__ wage __PUNCT__ high __PUNCT__ tech job of tomorrow __PUNCT__

john_mccain want to give tax_break to the corpor that ship our job_oversea __PUNCT__

if i am presid __PUNCT__ i will end those tax_break and give them to compani that creat good_job in the unit_state of america __PUNCT__

that is the choic in thi elect __PUNCT__

senat_mccain first reaction to thi econom_crisi wa to sai that __PUNCT__ the fundament of our economi ar strong __PUNCT__

well i don't know about you __PUNCT__ but where i come from there noth more fundament than a job __PUNCT__ not just becaus it provid a paycheck __PUNCT__ becaus it provid a sens of digniti __PUNCT__

and if we want to turn thi economi around and lead the world in the __NUM___centuri __PUNCT__ we have to creat the high __PUNCT__ wage_job of tomorrow right here in america __PUNCT__

if i am presid __PUNCT__ i will invest __MONEY___billion a year in renew_sourc of energi to creat five million new __PUNCT__ green_job over the next decad __PUNCT__ job that pai well and can't be outsourc __PUNCT__ job build solar_panel and wind_turbin and fuel __PUNCT__ effici car __PUNCT__ job that will help us end our depend on oil from middl_east dictat __PUNCT__

i also put two million more american to work rebuild our crumbl road __PUNCT__ school __PUNCT__ and bridg __PUNCT__ becaus it is time to build an american infrastructur for the __NUM___centuri __PUNCT__

and we give everi child __PUNCT__ everywher the skill and the knowledg thei need to compet with ani worker __PUNCT__ anywher in the world __PUNCT__

i will not allow countri to out __PUNCT__ teach us todai so thei can out __PUNCT__ compet us tomorrow __PUNCT__

it is time to provid everi american with a world __PUNCT__ class educ __PUNCT__

that mean invest in earli_childhood childhood_educ __PUNCT__

that mean recruit an armi of new teacher __PUNCT__ and pai them better __PUNCT__ and give them more support in exchang for higher_standard and more account __PUNCT__

and it mean make a deal with everi american who ha the drive and the will but not the monei to go to colleg __PUNCT__ if you commit to serv your countri after you graduat __PUNCT__ we will make sure you can afford your tuition __PUNCT__

you invest in america __PUNCT__ america will invest in you __PUNCT__ and togeth we will move thi countri forward __PUNCT__

final __PUNCT__ i will take on the corrupt in washington and on wall_street to make sure a crisi like thi can never __PUNCT__ ever happen again __PUNCT__

i put in place the common __PUNCT__ sens regul and rule of the road i been call for sinc march __PUNCT__ rule that will keep our market free __PUNCT__ fair __PUNCT__ and honest __PUNCT__ rule that will restor account and respons in our corpor boardroom __PUNCT__

and just as we demand_account on wall_street __PUNCT__ i will also demand it in washington __PUNCT__

that why i not go to stand here and simpli tell you what i go to spend __PUNCT__ i go to tell you how we go to save when i am presid __PUNCT__

i do what you do in your own famili budget and make sure we spend_monei wise __PUNCT__

i will go through the entir feder_budget __PUNCT__ page by page __PUNCT__ line by line __PUNCT__ and elimin program that don't work and aren't need __PUNCT__

we start by end a war in iraq that cost___MONEY__ __MONEY___billion a month while the iraqi_govern sit on a __MONEY___billion surplu __PUNCT__

and we save billion more by cut wast __PUNCT__ improv manag __PUNCT__ and strengthen oversight __PUNCT__

these ar the chang and reform we need __PUNCT__

i won't pretend thi will be easi or come without cost __PUNCT__

we will all need to sacrific and we will all need to pull our weight becaus now more than ever __PUNCT__ we ar all in thi togeth __PUNCT__

what thi crisi ha taught us is that at the end of the dai __PUNCT__ there is no real separ between main_street and wall_street __PUNCT__

there is onli the road we travel on as american __PUNCT__ and we will rise or fall on that journei as on nation __PUNCT__ as on peopl __PUNCT__

thi countri and the dream it repres ar be test in a wai that we haven't seen in nearli a centuri __PUNCT__

and futur_gener will judg our by how we respond to thi test __PUNCT__

will thei sai that thi wa a time when america lost it wai and it purpos __PUNCT__ when we allow our own petti differ and broken polit to plung thi countri into a dark and pain recess __PUNCT__

or will thei sai that thi wa anoth on of those moment when america overcam __PUNCT__ when we battl back from advers by recogn that common stake that we have in each other success __PUNCT__

thi is on of those moment __PUNCT__

i realiz you cynic and fed up with polit __PUNCT__
