the american_peopl don't want to hear politician attack each other __PUNCT__ you want to hear about how we go to attack the challeng_face middl_class class_famili each and everi dai __PUNCT__
so what we need now is honest leadership and real chang __PUNCT__ and that why i run for presid of the unit_state __PUNCT__
thi is a moment of great uncertainti for america __PUNCT__
the econom_crisi we face is the worst sinc the great_depress __PUNCT__
busi larg and small ar find it imposs to get loan __PUNCT__ which mean thei can't bui new equip __PUNCT__ or hire new worker __PUNCT__ or even make payrol for the worker thei have __PUNCT__
we lost more than __NUM___job thi year __PUNCT__ and unemploy here in nevada is up __NUM__ __PUNCT__ thi year __PUNCT__
wage ar lower than thei been in a decad __PUNCT__ at a time when the cost of health_care and colleg have never been higher __PUNCT__
it get harder and harder to make the mortgag __PUNCT__ or fill up your ga tank __PUNCT__ or even keep the electr on at the end of the month __PUNCT__
at thi rate __PUNCT__ the question isn't just __PUNCT__ ar you better off than you were four year_ago __PUNCT__ it __PUNCT__ ar you better off than you were four week_ago __PUNCT__
so what we need right now is a real debat about how to fix our economi and help middl_class class_famili __PUNCT__
but that not what we get from the other side __PUNCT__
a coupl of week_ago __PUNCT__ my oppon campaign said that __PUNCT__ if we keep talk about the economi __PUNCT__ we go to lose __PUNCT__ so thei said thei be focus on attack me instead __PUNCT__
and that on campaign_promis thei actual kept __PUNCT__
senat_mccain ha been throw everyth he got at us __PUNCT__ hope someth will stick __PUNCT__
he even call me a socialist for suggest that we focu on tax_cut __PUNCT__ not for corpor and the wealthi __PUNCT__ but for the middl_class __PUNCT__
then __PUNCT__ the other dai __PUNCT__ he took it to a whole new level __PUNCT__
he said that i wa like georg w __PUNCT__ bush __PUNCT__
you can't make thi stuff up __PUNCT__ folk __PUNCT__
in what mai be the strangest twist of all __PUNCT__ senat_mccain said that i would somehow continu the bush econom_polici __PUNCT__ and that he __PUNCT__ john_mccain __PUNCT__ would chang them __PUNCT__
he actual denounc the presid for let thing __PUNCT__ and i quot __PUNCT__ get complet out of hand __PUNCT__
that right __PUNCT__ john mccain ha been realli angri about georg_bush econom_polici __PUNCT__ except dure the primari __PUNCT__ when he said we made __PUNCT__ great progress econom __PUNCT__ under georg_bush __PUNCT__
or just last month __PUNCT__ when he said that the __PUNCT__ fundament of our economi ar strong __PUNCT__
in fact __PUNCT__ john_mccain is so oppos to georg_bush bush_polici __PUNCT__ that he vote with him __NUM__ percent of the time for the past eight year __PUNCT__
that right __PUNCT__ he decid to realli stick it to him __PUNCT__ __NUM__ percent of the time __PUNCT__
well __PUNCT__ let be clear __PUNCT__ john_mccain attack georg_bush for hi out __PUNCT__ of __PUNCT__ hand econom_polici is like dick_chenei attack georg_bush for hi go __PUNCT__ it __PUNCT__ alon foreign_polici __PUNCT__
fortun __PUNCT__ presid_bush doesn't seem to be at all offend __PUNCT__ becaus yesterdai __PUNCT__ he cast hi vote __PUNCT__ earli __PUNCT__ for senat_mccain __PUNCT__
and that no surpris __PUNCT__ becaus when it come to the polici that matter for middl_class class_famili __PUNCT__ there not an inch of daylight between georg_bush and john_mccain __PUNCT__
like georg_bush __PUNCT__ john_mccain want to keep give tax_break to oil_compani and ceo and compani that ship our job_oversea __PUNCT__
it the same __PUNCT__ fail __PUNCT__ wall_street first/main street last econom_polici __PUNCT__ and we go to chang it __PUNCT__
like georg_bush __PUNCT__ john_mccain want to tax your health_care benefit for the first time in histori __PUNCT__ and let insur_compani keep discrimin against peopl who need health_care the most __PUNCT__
it the same __PUNCT__ fail __PUNCT__ insur_compani first/your famili last health_care_polici __PUNCT__ and we go to chang it __PUNCT__
like georg_bush __PUNCT__ john_mccain want to privat social_secur __PUNCT__ and leav it to the whim of the market __PUNCT__
like georg_bush __PUNCT__ john_mccain ignor thi hous_crisi until it wa too late __PUNCT__ and then propos a __MONEY___billion bailout for wall_street_bank that doe hardli anyth to help peopl stai in their home __PUNCT__
like georg_bush __PUNCT__ he want less govern_regul of busi __PUNCT__ he said it again just yesterdai __PUNCT__ the twenti __PUNCT__ first time he call for less regul just thi year __PUNCT__
now none of us want to see unnecessari burden on busi __PUNCT__
but after what we seen on wall_street __PUNCT__ isn't it obviou by now that we need some commonsens rule of the road to protect_consum and our economi __PUNCT__
i think we had enough of the bush __PUNCT__ mccain econom __PUNCT__
i can take ten more dai of john_mccain attack __PUNCT__ but the american_peopl can't take four more year of the same fail polici and the same fail polit __PUNCT__
we not go to let georg_bush pass the torch to john_mccain __PUNCT__
it time for chang __PUNCT__
i know these ar difficult_time __PUNCT__
i know folk ar worri __PUNCT__
but i believ that we can steer ourselv out of thi crisi becaus i believ in thi countri __PUNCT__
becaus i believ in you __PUNCT__
i believ in the american_peopl __PUNCT__
we ar the unit_state of america __PUNCT__
we ar a nation that 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__
but nevada __PUNCT__ i know thi __PUNCT__
it will take a new direct __PUNCT__
it will take new leadership in washington __PUNCT__
it 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 __PUNCT__ ha the chanc to get ahead __PUNCT__
not just the person who own the factori __PUNCT__ but the men and women who work on it floor __PUNCT__
not just the ceo __PUNCT__ but the secretari and the janitor __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 the congress wa a necessari first step to eas thi credit crisi __PUNCT__ but if we go to rebuild thi economi from the bottom up __PUNCT__ we need an immedi rescu plan for the middl __PUNCT__ class __PUNCT__ and that what i will do as presid of the unit_state __PUNCT__
i propos a new american_job tax_credit for each new employe that compani hire here in the unit_state over the next two year __PUNCT__
i stop give tax_break to compani that ship job_oversea and invest in compani that creat good_job right here in nevada __PUNCT__
i help small_busi get back on their feet by elimin capit_gain gain_tax and give them emerg loan to keep their door_open and hire_worker __PUNCT__
and i will creat a job and growth fund to help state and local_govern save on million_job and pai for health_care and educ without have to rais your tax __PUNCT__
i also act quickli to help peopl stai in their home __PUNCT__ someth that especi critic here in nevada where foreclosur rate ar five time the nation_averag __PUNCT__
i help respons homeown refin their mortgag on afford term __PUNCT__ and put in place a three __PUNCT__ month moratorium on foreclosur to give folk the breath room thei need to get back on their feet __PUNCT__
and i won't let bank and lender off the hook when it wa their greed and irrespons that got us into thi mess __PUNCT__
we should not be bail out wall_street __PUNCT__ we should be restor opportun on main_street __PUNCT__
these ar the step that we must take __PUNCT__ right now __PUNCT__ to start get our economi back on track __PUNCT__
but we also need a new set of prioriti to grow our economi and creat_job over the long __PUNCT__ term __PUNCT__
it start with tax_relief __PUNCT__
there been a lot of talk about tax in thi campaign __PUNCT__
and the truth is __PUNCT__ my oppon and i ar both propos tax_cut __PUNCT__
the differ is __PUNCT__ he want to give a __MONEY__ tax cut to the averag fortun___NUM__ ceo __PUNCT__
i want to put a middl_class tax_cut in the pocket of __NUM__ __PUNCT__ of worker and their famili __PUNCT__
my oppon doesn't want you to know thi __PUNCT__ but under my plan __PUNCT__ tax_rate will actual be less than thei were under ronald_reagan __PUNCT__
it true that i want to roll_back the bush_tax_cut on the wealthiest american and go back to the rate thei paid under bill_clinton __PUNCT__
john_mccain call that social __PUNCT__
what he forget is that just a few year_ago __PUNCT__ he himself said those bush_tax_cut were irrespons __PUNCT__
he said he couldn't __PUNCT__ in good conscienc __PUNCT__ support a tax cut where the benefit went to the wealthi at the expens of __PUNCT__ middl_class class_american who most need tax_relief __PUNCT__
well __PUNCT__ he wa right then __PUNCT__ and i am right now __PUNCT__
so let me be crystal clear __PUNCT__ if you make less than a quarter of a million_dollar a year __PUNCT__ which includ___NUM__ __PUNCT__ of small_busi busi_owner __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__
that is my commit to you __PUNCT__
for the last eight year __PUNCT__ we have tri it john_mccain wai __PUNCT__
we have tri it georg_bush wai __PUNCT__
we given more and more to those with the most and hope that prosper would trickl down to everyon els __PUNCT__
and guess what __PUNCT__ it didn't __PUNCT__
so it time to try someth new __PUNCT__
it time to grow thi economi by invest in the middl_class again __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 if peopl ask how we go to pai for thi __PUNCT__ you tell them that if we can spend___MONEY___billion a month in iraq __PUNCT__ we can spend some monei to rebuild america __PUNCT__
if i am presid __PUNCT__ i will final fix the problem in our health_care_system that we been talk about for too long __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 make sure 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 that we will lower premium __PUNCT__
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__
and 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 if i presid __PUNCT__ 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__

my oppon top econom advisor actual said that thei have no plan to invest in colleg afford becaus we can't have a giveawai to everi special_interest __PUNCT__

we will all need to tighten our belt __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__
at a defin moment like thi __PUNCT__ we don't have the luxuri of reli on the same polit game and the same polit tactic that ar us everi elect to divid us from on anoth and make us afraid of on anoth __PUNCT__
with the challeng and crise we face right now __PUNCT__ we cannot afford to divid thi countri by class or region __PUNCT__ by who we ar or what polici we support __PUNCT__
there ar no real or fake part of thi countri __PUNCT__
we ar not separ by the pro __PUNCT__ america and anti __PUNCT__ america part of thi nation __PUNCT__ we all love thi countri __PUNCT__ no matter where we live or where we come from __PUNCT__

thei have not serv a red america or a blue america __PUNCT__ thei have serv the unit_state of america __PUNCT__

and i am run for presid of the unit_state of america becaus that is the countri we need to be right now __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 the same divis and fear tactic and our own petti differ 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__
