Barack Obama

it great to be back on the first coast __PUNCT__

i have just on word for you __PUNCT__ florida __PUNCT__ tomorrow __PUNCT__

after decad of broken polit in washington __PUNCT__ eight year of fail polici from georg_bush __PUNCT__ and twenti __PUNCT__ on month of a campaign that ha taken us from the rocki coast of main to the sunshin of california __PUNCT__ we ar on dai awai from chang in america __PUNCT__

tomorrow __PUNCT__ you can turn the page on polici that have put the greed and irrespons of wall_street befor the hard_work and sacrific of folk on main_street __PUNCT__

tomorrow __PUNCT__ you can choos polici that invest in our middl __PUNCT__ class __PUNCT__ creat new job __PUNCT__ and grow thi economi so that everyon ha a chanc to succe __PUNCT__ from the ceo to the secretari and the janitor __PUNCT__ from the factori owner to the men and women who work on it floor __PUNCT__

tomorrow __PUNCT__ you can put an end to the polit that would divid a nation just to win an elect __PUNCT__ that tri to pit region against region __PUNCT__ citi against town __PUNCT__ republican against democrat __PUNCT__ that ask us to fear at a time when we need hope __PUNCT__

tomorrow __PUNCT__ at thi defin moment in histori __PUNCT__ you can give thi countri the chang we need __PUNCT__

we began thi journei in the depth of winter nearli two year_ago __PUNCT__ on the step of the old state_capitol in springfield __PUNCT__ illinoi __PUNCT__

back then __PUNCT__ we didn't have much monei or mani endors __PUNCT__

we weren't given much of a chanc by the poll or the pundit __PUNCT__

we knew how steep our climb would be __PUNCT__

but i also knew thi __PUNCT__

i knew that the size of our challeng had outgrown the small of our polit __PUNCT__

i believ that democrat and republican and american of everi polit stripe were hungri for new idea __PUNCT__ new leadership __PUNCT__ and a new kind of polit __PUNCT__ on that favor common_sens over ideolog __PUNCT__ on that focus on those valu and ideal we hold in common as american __PUNCT__

most of all __PUNCT__ i knew the american_peopl were a decent __PUNCT__ gener peopl will to work_hard and sacrific for futur_gener __PUNCT__

i wa convinc that when we come togeth __PUNCT__ our voic ar more power than the most entrench lobbyist __PUNCT__ or the most viciou polit attack __PUNCT__ or the full_forc of a statu_quo in washington that want to keep thing just the wai thei ar __PUNCT__

twenti __PUNCT__ on month later __PUNCT__ my faith in the american_peopl ha been vindic __PUNCT__

that how we come so far and so close __PUNCT__ becaus of you __PUNCT__

that how we chang thi countri __PUNCT__ with your help __PUNCT__

and that why we can't afford to slow down __PUNCT__ sit_back __PUNCT__ or let up __PUNCT__ on minut __PUNCT__ or on second in the next twenti __PUNCT__ four hour __PUNCT__

not now __PUNCT__

not when so much is at stake __PUNCT__

we ar in the middl of the worst econom_crisi sinc the great_depress __PUNCT__

__NUM___worker have lost their job thi year __PUNCT__

busi and famili can't get credit __PUNCT__

home valu ar fall __PUNCT__

pension ar disappear __PUNCT__

it gotten 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 a moment like thi __PUNCT__ the last thing we can afford is four more year of the tire __PUNCT__ old theori that sai we should give more to billionair and big_corpor and hope that prosper trickl down to everyon els __PUNCT__

the last thing we can afford is four more year where no on in washington is watch anyon on wall_street becaus politician and lobbyist kill common __PUNCT__ sens regul __PUNCT__

those ar the theori that got us into thi mess __PUNCT__

thei haven't work __PUNCT__ and it time for chang __PUNCT__

that why i run for presid of the unit_state __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ senat_mccain ha serv thi countri honor __PUNCT__

and he can point to a few moment over the past eight year where he ha broken from georg_bush __PUNCT__

but when it come to the economi __PUNCT__ when it come to the central issu of thi elect __PUNCT__ the plain truth is that john_mccain ha stood with thi presid everi step of the wai __PUNCT__

vote for the bush_tax_cut for the wealthi that he onc oppos __PUNCT__

vote for the bush budget that spent us into debt __PUNCT__

call for less regul twenti __PUNCT__ on time just thi year __PUNCT__

those ar the fact __PUNCT__

after twenti __PUNCT__ on month and three debat __PUNCT__ senat_mccain still ha not been abl to tell the american_peopl a singl major thing he do differ from georg_bush when it come to the economi __PUNCT__

john_mccain just doesn't get it __PUNCT__

rememb what he said when he wa here on __DATE__ __PUNCT__

that dai __PUNCT__ more than __NUM___job were lost and more than __NUM___home were foreclos on __PUNCT__

the dai befor __PUNCT__ former fed_chairman alan_greenspan said we were in a __PUNCT__ onc in a centuri __PUNCT__ crisi __PUNCT__

and yet __PUNCT__ despit our econom_crisi __PUNCT__ john_mccain actual came here __PUNCT__ to veteran __PUNCT__ memori arena __PUNCT__ and repeat someth he said at least sixteen time on thi campaign __PUNCT__

he said __PUNCT__ and i quot __PUNCT__ the fundament of our economi ar strong __PUNCT__

well __PUNCT__ florida __PUNCT__ you and i know that not onli fundament wrong __PUNCT__ it also sum up hi out __PUNCT__ of __PUNCT__ touch __PUNCT__ on __PUNCT__ your __PUNCT__ own econom philosophi __PUNCT__

it a philosophi that sai we should give a __MONEY__ tax_cut to the averag fortun___NUM__ ceo and __MONEY___billion to the same wall_street_bank that got us into thi mess __PUNCT__

it a philosophi that sai we shouldn't give a penni of relief to more than __NUM___million middl __PUNCT__ class_american __PUNCT__

and it a philosophi that will end when i am presid of the unit_state of america __PUNCT__

look __PUNCT__ we tri it john_mccain wai __PUNCT__

we tri it georg_bush wai __PUNCT__

deep down __PUNCT__ senat_mccain know that __PUNCT__ which is why hi campaign said that __PUNCT__ if we keep talk about the economi __PUNCT__ we go to lose __PUNCT__

that why i talk about the economi __PUNCT__

that why he spent these last week call me everi name in the book __PUNCT__

becaus that how you plai the game in washington __PUNCT__

when you can't win on the strength of your idea __PUNCT__ you make a big elect about small_thing __PUNCT__

so i expect we go to see more of that in the next twenti __PUNCT__ four hour __PUNCT__

more of the slash and burn __PUNCT__ sai __PUNCT__ anyth __PUNCT__ do __PUNCT__ anyth polit that calcul to divid and distract __PUNCT__ to tear us apart instead of bring us togeth __PUNCT__

well __PUNCT__ that not the kind of polit the american_peopl need right now __PUNCT__

florida __PUNCT__ at thi moment __PUNCT__ in thi elect __PUNCT__ we have the chanc to do more than just beat_back thi kind of polit in the short __PUNCT__ term __PUNCT__

we can end it onc and for all __PUNCT__

we can prove that the on thing more power than the polit of anyth goe is the will and determin of the american_peopl __PUNCT__

we can chang thi countri __PUNCT__

ye we can __PUNCT__

we can prove that we ar more than a collect of red_state and blue_state __PUNCT__ we ar the unit_state of america __PUNCT__

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

florida __PUNCT__ i know these ar difficult_time __PUNCT__

but i also know that we have face difficult time befor __PUNCT__

the american stori ha never been about thing come easi __PUNCT__ it been about rise to the moment when the moment wa hard __PUNCT__

it about reject fear and divis for uniti of purpos __PUNCT__

that how we overcom war and depress __PUNCT__

that how we won great struggl for civil right and women right and worker __PUNCT__ right __PUNCT__

and that how we write the next great chapter in the american stori __PUNCT__

understand __PUNCT__ if we want to meet the challeng of thi moment __PUNCT__ we need to get beyond the old ideolog debat and divid between left and right __PUNCT__

we don't need bigger_govern or smaller_govern __PUNCT__

we need a better govern __PUNCT__ a more compet govern __PUNCT__ a govern that uphold the valu we hold in common as american __PUNCT__

the choic in thi elect isn't between tax_cut and no tax cut __PUNCT__

it about whether you believ we should onli reward wealth __PUNCT__ or whether we should also reward the work and worker who creat it __PUNCT__

i will give a tax_break to __NUM__ __PUNCT__ of american who work everi dai and get tax taken out of their paycheck everi week __PUNCT__

and i help pai for thi by ask the folk who ar make more than __MONEY__ a year to go back to the tax_rate thei were pai in the 1990 __PUNCT__

no matter what senat_mccain mai claim __PUNCT__ here ar the fact __PUNCT__ if you make under __MONEY__ you will not see your tax_increas by a singl dime __PUNCT__ not your incom_tax __PUNCT__ not your payrol_tax __PUNCT__ not your capit_gain gain_tax __PUNCT__

noth __PUNCT__

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

when it come to job __PUNCT__ the choic in thi elect is not between put up a wall around america or stand by and do noth __PUNCT__

the truth is __PUNCT__ we won't be abl to bring_back everi job that we lost __PUNCT__ but that doesn't mean we should follow john_mccain plan to keep promot unfair trade_agreement and keep give tax_break to corpor that send american_job job_oversea __PUNCT__

i will end those break as presid __PUNCT__ and give them to compani that creat_job here in the unit_state of america __PUNCT__

we creat two million new job by rebuild our crumbl road __PUNCT__ and bridg __PUNCT__ and school __PUNCT__

i will invest __MONEY___billion a year in renew_sourc of energi __PUNCT__ in wind and solar_power and the next gener of biofuel __PUNCT__

we invest in clean_coal technolog and find wai to safe har nuclear_power __PUNCT__

and we creat five million new energi job over the next decad __PUNCT__ job that pai well and can't be outsourc __PUNCT__

when it come to health_care __PUNCT__ we don't have to choos between a govern __PUNCT__ run health_care_system and the unafford on we have now __PUNCT__

if you alreadi 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 you be abl to get the same_kind of health_insur that member of congress get for themselv __PUNCT__

and as someon who watch hi own mother spend the final month of her life argu with insur_compani becaus thei claim her cancer wa a pre __PUNCT__ exist condit and didn't want to pai for treatment __PUNCT__ i will stop insur compani from discrimin against those who ar sick and need care most __PUNCT__

that the chang we need __PUNCT__

that why i run for presid of the unit_state __PUNCT__

when it come to give everi child a world __PUNCT__ class educ __PUNCT__ the choic is not between more monei and more reform __PUNCT__ becaus our school need both __PUNCT__

as presid __PUNCT__ i will recruit an armi of new teacher __PUNCT__ pai them more __PUNCT__ and give them more support __PUNCT__

but i will also demand higher_standard and more account from our teacher and our school __PUNCT__

and i will 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 commun or your countri __PUNCT__ we will make sure you can afford your tuition __PUNCT__

and when it come to keep thi countri safe __PUNCT__ we don't have to choos between retreat from the world and fight a war without end in iraq __PUNCT__

it time to stop spend___MONEY___billion a month in iraq while the iraqi_govern sit on a huge surplu __PUNCT__

as presid __PUNCT__ i will end thi war __PUNCT__

i will ask the iraqi govern to step up for their futur __PUNCT__ and i will final finish the fight against bin_laden and the al_qaeda qaeda_terrorist who attack us on 9/11 __PUNCT__

i will never hesit to defend thi nation __PUNCT__

and i will make sure our servicemen and women have the best train and equip when thei deploi into combat __PUNCT__ and the care and benefit thei have earn when thei come home __PUNCT__

that what we ow our veteran __PUNCT__

that what i do as presid __PUNCT__

i won't stand here and pretend that ani of thi will be easi __PUNCT__ especi now __PUNCT__

the cost of thi econom_crisi __PUNCT__ and the cost of the war in iraq __PUNCT__ mean that washington will have to tighten it belt and put off spend on thing we don't need __PUNCT__

as presid __PUNCT__ i will go through the feder_budget __PUNCT__ line __PUNCT__ by __PUNCT__ line __PUNCT__ end program that we don't need and make the on we do need work better and cost less __PUNCT__

but as i said from the dai we began thi journei __PUNCT__ the chang we need won't come from govern alon __PUNCT__

it will come from each of us do our part in our own live and our own commun __PUNCT__

it will come from each of us look after ourselv __PUNCT__ our famili __PUNCT__ and our fellow_citizen __PUNCT__

ye __PUNCT__ govern must lead the wai on energi_independ __PUNCT__ but each of us must do our part to make our home and our busi more effici __PUNCT__

ye __PUNCT__ we must put more monei into our school __PUNCT__ but govern can't be that parent who turn off the tv and make a child do their homework __PUNCT__

we need a return to respons and a return to civil __PUNCT__

ye __PUNCT__ we can argu and debat our posit passion __PUNCT__ but all of us must summon the strength and grace to bridg our differ and unit in common effort __PUNCT__ black __PUNCT__ white __PUNCT__ hispan __PUNCT__ asian __PUNCT__ nativ_american __PUNCT__ democrat and republican __PUNCT__ young and old __PUNCT__ rich and poor __PUNCT__ gai and straight __PUNCT__ disabl or not __PUNCT__

in thi elect __PUNCT__ we cannot afford the same polit game and tactic that ar be us to pit us against on anoth and make us afraid of on anoth __PUNCT__

despit what our oppon mai claim __PUNCT__ there ar no real or fake part of thi countri __PUNCT__

there is no citi or town that is more pro __PUNCT__ america than anywher els __PUNCT__ we ar on nation __PUNCT__ all of us proud __PUNCT__ all of us patriot __PUNCT__

the men and women who serv on our battlefield mai be democrat and republican and independ __PUNCT__ but thei have fought togeth and bled togeth and some di togeth under the same proud flag __PUNCT__

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

it won't be easi __PUNCT__ florida __PUNCT__

it won't be quick __PUNCT__

but you and i know that it is time to come togeth and chang thi countri __PUNCT__

some of you mai be cynic and fed up with polit __PUNCT__

you have everi right to be __PUNCT__

but despit all of thi __PUNCT__ i ask of you what ha been ask of american throughout our histori __PUNCT__

i ask you to believ __PUNCT__ not just in my abil to bring about chang __PUNCT__ but in your __PUNCT__

i know thi chang is possibl __PUNCT__

becaus i have seen it over the last twenti __PUNCT__ on month __PUNCT__

becaus in thi campaign __PUNCT__ i have had the privileg to wit what is best in america __PUNCT__

i seen it in the face of the men and women i met at countless ralli and town_hall across the countri __PUNCT__ men and women who speak of their struggl but also of their hope and dream __PUNCT__

i still rememb the email that a woman name robyn sent me after i met her in ft __PUNCT__ lauderdal __PUNCT__

sometim after our event __PUNCT__ her son nearli went into cardiac arrest __PUNCT__ and wa diagnos with a heart condit that could onli be treat with a procedur that cost ten of thousand of dollar __PUNCT__

her insur_compani refus to pai __PUNCT__ and their famili just didn't have that kind of monei __PUNCT__

in her email __PUNCT__ robyn wrote __PUNCT__ i ask onli thi of you __PUNCT__ on the dai where you feel so tire you can't think of utter anoth word to the peopl __PUNCT__ think of us __PUNCT__

when those who oppos you have you down __PUNCT__ reach deep and fight_back harder __PUNCT__

florida __PUNCT__ that what hope is __PUNCT__

that what kept some of our parent and grandpar go when time were tough __PUNCT__

what led them to sai __PUNCT__ mayb i can't go to colleg __PUNCT__ but if i save a littl bit each week __PUNCT__ my child can __PUNCT__

mayb i can't have my own busi but if i work realli hard my child can open up on of her own __PUNCT__

it what led those who could not vote to sai __PUNCT__ if i march and organ __PUNCT__ mayb my child or grandchild can run for presid somedai __PUNCT__

that what hope is __PUNCT__ that thing insid that insist __PUNCT__ despit all evid to the contrari __PUNCT__ that there ar better dai ahead __PUNCT__

if we will to work for it __PUNCT__

if we will to shed our fear __PUNCT__

if we will to reach deep insid ourselv when we tire __PUNCT__ and come back fight harder __PUNCT__

don't believ for a second thi elect is over __PUNCT__

don't think for a minut that power conced __PUNCT__

we have to work like our futur depend on it in the next twenti __PUNCT__ four hour __PUNCT__ becaus it doe __PUNCT__

but i know thi __PUNCT__ florida __PUNCT__ the time for chang ha come __PUNCT__

we have a righteou wind at our back __PUNCT__

and if in these final hour __PUNCT__ you will knock on some door for me __PUNCT__ and make some call for me __PUNCT__ and go to __URL__ and find out where to vote __PUNCT__

if you will stand with me __PUNCT__ and fight by my side __PUNCT__ and cast your ballot for me __PUNCT__ then i promis you thi __PUNCT__ we will not just win florida __PUNCT__ we will not just win thi elect __PUNCT__ but togeth __PUNCT__ we will chang thi countri and we will chang the world __PUNCT__
