and thi will be __PUNCT__ on wai or anoth __PUNCT__ thi will be my last campaign __PUNCT__ which get me to think about my first campaign __PUNCT__

and i wa a lawyer __PUNCT__ and i wa teach law __PUNCT__ and thi seat __PUNCT__ the state_senat senat_seat came up __PUNCT__

and i told michel __PUNCT__ some peopl had talk to me about run for offic __PUNCT__ what did she think __PUNCT__

and she said __PUNCT__ well __PUNCT__ that a dumb idea __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ but after i explain to her why i thought it might make_sens for me to run __PUNCT__ she join in __PUNCT__

and we didn't have a budget __PUNCT__ we didn't have tv_ad __PUNCT__

we print a bunch of stuff at kinko __PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ and we had a few friend who volunt __PUNCT__

and we start knock on door __PUNCT__ and i go in front of the groceri_store __PUNCT__ and i shake_hand __PUNCT__

and we would march in parad __PUNCT__

in fact __PUNCT__ the fourth of __DATE__ parad in hyde_park __PUNCT__ back in chicago __PUNCT__ thei had a tradit where thei made folk who were in offic or run for offic dress up __PUNCT__

and somebodi had an outfit for me __PUNCT__

it wa sort of like a minuteman outfit with __PUNCT__ like __PUNCT__ a hat and sort of the cutoff pant __PUNCT__

and my leg ar kind of skinni __PUNCT__ so i didn't look veri good in them __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ at thi point __PUNCT__ an audienc member whistl __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

and then i won that race __PUNCT__ and so i serv in the state_senat __PUNCT__

and then i got the idea of run for the unit_state state_senat after serv __NUM___year in the state_senat __PUNCT__

and i decid to go to michel and ask her what she thought __PUNCT__

and she said __PUNCT__ well __PUNCT__ that a dumb idea __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ but becaus i had had a chanc as a state senat to travel the whole state of illinoi __PUNCT__ which is a lot like ohio __PUNCT__ it a mix of big_citi and rural_commun and folk from everi walk of life __PUNCT__ and i start just travel the state __PUNCT__

and i go to state fair __PUNCT__ and i __PUNCT__ we go to counti fair __PUNCT__ and we stop in littl town and meet folk and go to vfw hall __PUNCT__

and what i realiz dure that senat_race __PUNCT__ and what i realiz when i first ran for the state_senat __PUNCT__ wa the reason i got into polit wa becaus __PUNCT__ in thi countri __PUNCT__ there is thi core american_idea that we celebr yesterdai __PUNCT__

and that is if you work_hard __PUNCT__ if you take respons for yourself and your famili __PUNCT__ and you don't get discourag when you hit some setback __PUNCT__ you can make it if you try __PUNCT__

the basic american bargain that sai __PUNCT__ it doesn't matter what you look like __PUNCT__ where you come from __PUNCT__ where you worship __PUNCT__ the idea is that you don't have to be born into fame or fortun __PUNCT__

if you will to appli yourself and work hard __PUNCT__ you can make it __PUNCT__

you can follow your dream __PUNCT__

and the reason i got into that first race wai back when and the reason i ran for the senat and __PUNCT__ ultim __PUNCT__ the reason i ran for presid wa becaus that had been avail for my famili __PUNCT__

my grandpar particip in world_war_ii __PUNCT__

my grandfath fought in patton armi __PUNCT__ and my grandmoth work on a bomber assembl_line __PUNCT__

but when my grandfath came back __PUNCT__ he wa abl to studi on the gi_bill __PUNCT__ and thei were abl to bui their first home with some help from the fha __PUNCT__

america gave them that opportun __PUNCT__ didn't give them a handout __PUNCT__ but gave them that chanc __PUNCT__

and when my mom __PUNCT__ a singl_mom __PUNCT__ wa rais two kid and try to get her educ __PUNCT__ there were grant and loan avail __PUNCT__ and she could instil a love of learn in me and my sister __PUNCT__ and we had a chanc to get a great educ __PUNCT__

and you look at michel famili __PUNCT__ her dad wa what wa call a stationari engin at the water filtrat plant in chicago __PUNCT__ a blue __PUNCT__ collar_worker __PUNCT__

even though he had ms __PUNCT__ he have to wake up an hour earlier than everybodi els to get dress and get to the job __PUNCT__ but he never miss a dai of work __PUNCT__

and michel mom __PUNCT__ she stai at home rais the kid and then later becam a secretari __PUNCT__

thei never had a lot __PUNCT__ but thei had a chanc to give their kid thi great educ __PUNCT__

and so my whole life __PUNCT__ and michel whole life __PUNCT__ wa an exampl of thi american_dream __PUNCT__ thi idea that if you work_hard __PUNCT__ you can find a job that pai a live_wage and you can afford a home __PUNCT__ you won't go bankrupt when you get sick __PUNCT__ you can retir with some digniti and respect __PUNCT__ you can take a vacat __PUNCT__

it mai not be fanci __PUNCT__ you might not be go to some fanci resort __PUNCT__ but you can go with your kid and enjoi each other compani and see the amaz sight of thi countri __PUNCT__

and the problem wa that you could feel __PUNCT__ over the last decad __PUNCT__ how that dream wa slip awai for too mani peopl __PUNCT__

thei were work_harder and harder __PUNCT__ but it seem like wage weren't go up __PUNCT__ incom weren't go up __PUNCT__ opportun weren't increas __PUNCT__ the cost of health_care wa go up __PUNCT__ the cost of colleg wa go up __PUNCT__ ga_price go up __PUNCT__ groceri go up __PUNCT__

so that basic bargain felt like it wa slip awai from too mani peopl __PUNCT__

that what got me into polit __PUNCT__ that why i ran for the state_senat __PUNCT__ that why i enter my first polit race __PUNCT__ that why i run my last polit race __PUNCT__ becaus i want to make sure that the next gener __PUNCT__ not just my kid __PUNCT__ but everybodi __PUNCT__ ha that same chanc __PUNCT__ that we get that bargain back for america middl_class __PUNCT__

that what sherrod is fight for and marci is fight for and betti is fight for and i am fight for __PUNCT__

that what you believ in __PUNCT__

that why i run for presid of the unit_state of america __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

four more year __PUNCT__ four more year __PUNCT__ four more year __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ thi __PUNCT__ these past 3½ year have made it tough on everybodi __PUNCT__

we saw the middl_class class_struggl and folk who were try to get into the middl_class __PUNCT__

i want to sai __PUNCT__ by the wai __PUNCT__ when i talk about middl class __PUNCT__ i also talk about poor_folk who ar do the right thing and try to get into the middl_class __PUNCT__

and middl class is also an attitud __PUNCT__

it not just about incom __PUNCT__

it about know what import and not measur your success just base on your bank_account __PUNCT__

but it about your valu and be respons and look after each other and give back __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

give back __PUNCT__

the presid __PUNCT__

give back __PUNCT__

and it wa tough even befor the crisi hit __PUNCT__

and then thi crisi hit __PUNCT__ and the auto_industri almost went under __PUNCT__ and peopl lost their job __PUNCT__ and peopl lost their home __PUNCT__

and we been work 24/7 __PUNCT__ __NUM___dai a year __PUNCT__ for the last 3½ year to try to right the ship and recov __PUNCT__

and we seen progress __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

it work __PUNCT__

the presid __PUNCT__

we seen progress __PUNCT__

when some were sai __PUNCT__ let let detroit go bankrupt __PUNCT__ i said let bet on the american_worker __PUNCT__

and now that chrysler plant is churn out some of the best car in the world __PUNCT__

and gm is back on top __PUNCT__

and ford is on the move __PUNCT__

we seen manufactur start to come back to ohio __PUNCT__

we seen the unemploy_rate drop __PUNCT__

so we made progress __PUNCT__

but we all know we got so much more work to do __PUNCT__

there ar too mani folk still out of work __PUNCT__ home still underwat __PUNCT__

too mani kid ar still try to figur out how to pai for their colleg_educ __PUNCT__

but you know what __PUNCT__ these challeng had been build up over decad __PUNCT__ and we knew we weren't go to turn it around overnight __PUNCT__

what we want to do wa make sure that we start move in the right direct __PUNCT__ move_forward __PUNCT__ not move backward __PUNCT__

and we been abl to do that __PUNCT__

we been move forward __PUNCT__

and frankli __PUNCT__ we been move forward without a lot of help from the other side __PUNCT__

we been kind of yank them __PUNCT__

thei been on our ankl and pull us back __PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ but we been move forward __PUNCT__

but the truth is __PUNCT__ there is so much more we could be do __PUNCT__

and the reason i so glad you here todai is becaus the onli wai we ar go to keep move forward is with you __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ i know you probabl ar alreadi sick of thi elect with all the commerci and all the nasti that out there and the foolish and the misinform and all the polit_report about poll and who up and who down __PUNCT__

but look __PUNCT__ i want you to understand __PUNCT__ noth could be bigger right now than the choic you about to make __PUNCT__ the choic you about to make __PUNCT__

becaus it more than just be about two candid or two polit_parti __PUNCT__ thi is about two fundament differ vision of how we move_forward __PUNCT__

mr __PUNCT__ romnei __PUNCT__ hi alli in congress __PUNCT__ thei got a particular view __PUNCT__

thei believ that if we cut_tax __PUNCT__ for especi the wealthiest american __PUNCT__ about __MONEY___trillion on top of the bush_tax_cut __PUNCT__ paid for by cut educ and cut __PUNCT__ make medicar a voucher_program and cut program for our kid __PUNCT__ that somehow if we do that and we elimin regul that we put in place __PUNCT__ thank to the work of these great member of congress __PUNCT__ so that we don't have taxpay bailout of wall_street_bank anymor __PUNCT__ that if we roll those back __PUNCT__ that somehow all thi is go to benefit you __PUNCT__

that first __PUNCT__ it will benefit wealthi investor __PUNCT__ and then thing will rain down on you and benefit you in some fashion __PUNCT__

that the theori __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ let me just sai __PUNCT__ thi is a coher theori __PUNCT__

you can see it on their web_site __PUNCT__

thei don't make a secret about what thei plan to do __PUNCT__

the onli problem is we tri it __PUNCT__

we tri it for about __NUM___year right befor i wa elect as presid of the unit_state __PUNCT__ and it didn't work __PUNCT__

it didn't make the middl_class stronger __PUNCT__

job_growth wa sluggish __PUNCT__

your wage and your incom did not go up __PUNCT__

it didn't grow our economi the wai it need to __PUNCT__

and it culmin in the worst financi_crisi we had sinc the great_depress __PUNCT__

so their theori wa tri __PUNCT__ but it a theori __PUNCT__

i got a differ theori __PUNCT__

i think thei wrong __PUNCT__

as wendi said __PUNCT__ i don't think we grow our economi from the top down __PUNCT__

i think we grow the economi from the middl_class out __PUNCT__

i think __PUNCT__ we grow the economi by make sure everybodi ha got a fair shot and everybodi is do their fair_share and everybodi is plai by the same set of rule __PUNCT__

and so when i look at how do we move_forward __PUNCT__ i sai __PUNCT__ we make_progress in manufactur __PUNCT__

let make more progress __PUNCT__

let stop give tax_break to compani that ar ship job_oversea __PUNCT__

let give them to compani that ar invest right here in the unit_state of america __PUNCT__

when i think about move_forward __PUNCT__ i sai __PUNCT__ let invest in advanc manufactur in thi __NUM__ __PUNCT__ centuri economi for us to make sure that we at the forefront of advanc batteri manufactur so the next gener of car ar built here in america __PUNCT__ invest in clean_energi to make sure that solar_panel and wind_turbin ar built here in the unit_state of america __PUNCT__

those ar smart invest __PUNCT__

that how we move_forward __PUNCT__

when i think about move forward __PUNCT__ i think about how do we make sure that american young_peopl ar the best educ in the world __PUNCT__

so i want to hire new teacher __PUNCT__ especi in math and scienc __PUNCT__ and i want to train them better and pai them better __PUNCT__

and i want to give __NUM___million more peopl the opportun to go to a commun_colleg and train for the job that exist right now __PUNCT__

and i want to make colleg more afford for young_peopl and bring tuition down __PUNCT__

that how we move_forward __PUNCT__

that my vision for the futur __PUNCT__

and ye __PUNCT__ i believ that we should have a health_care_system that work for middl_class class_famili __PUNCT__

and i am __PUNCT__ couldn't be prouder of the work that we have done in get thi health_care law_pass __PUNCT__

and there is so much misinform out there __PUNCT__ so i just want to clear up a coupl of thing __PUNCT__

if you got health_insur right now __PUNCT__ here what thi bill mean __PUNCT__ it mean that insur_compani can't drop you for no reason or when you need it most __PUNCT__ it mean that your kid can stai on your health_insur insur_plan until thei __NUM__ and have realli gotten a job that provid them benefit __PUNCT__ it mean that thei can't impos lifetim limit __PUNCT__ insur_compani can't impos lifetim limit so that when you realli need it __PUNCT__ suddenli thei sai __PUNCT__ we don't have ani more insur for you __PUNCT__

it a patient bill of right for you if you have insur __PUNCT__ and if you don't have health_insur __PUNCT__ then it give you a chanc to bui into a pool so that you get the same deal as folk who ar work at big_compani do __PUNCT__

and if you a senior on medicar __PUNCT__ it mean your prescript_drug cost ar go to be lower and we go to close that donut hole that ha hurt a lot of senior __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ i think that wa the right thing to do __PUNCT__

that part of move_forward __PUNCT__

we need to have an american_energi energi_polici __PUNCT__

we produc more oil and ga than we have in a long_time __PUNCT__ and we import less oil from oversea than we have in the past __PUNCT__

but we can keep on do more __PUNCT__ not onli increas_product of tradit fuel __PUNCT__ but in develop and invent new fuel becaus we need to free ourselv from our depend on foreign_oil __PUNCT__

and by the wai __PUNCT__ we can put_peopl back to work in the process __PUNCT__

that move_forward __PUNCT__

i want to rebuild america __PUNCT__

i promis __PUNCT__ i end the war in iraq __PUNCT__

i end the war in iraq __PUNCT__

we transit out of afghanistan __PUNCT__

we taken on al qaida __PUNCT__ and we kill bin_laden __PUNCT__

and now i want to take half the monei that we no longer spend on war and us it to drive down our deficit __PUNCT__

and i want to take the other half to start do some nation __PUNCT__ build here in ohio __PUNCT__

do some nation __PUNCT__ build here at home __PUNCT__

put_peopl back to work __PUNCT__ rebuild our road and our bridg and our school __PUNCT__ lai broadband line and high __PUNCT__ speed rail __PUNCT__

that how we build america __PUNCT__

that my idea of move_forward __PUNCT__

so i got a differ vision __PUNCT__ and nowher is that vision __PUNCT__ by the wai __PUNCT__ bigger than when it come to how do we deal with our debt and our deficit __PUNCT__

biggest contributor to our debt and our deficit __PUNCT__ in addit to thi recess __PUNCT__ were two tax_cut that weren't paid for and two war run on a credit_card __PUNCT__

and mr __PUNCT__ romnei propos to deal with thi is anoth __MONEY___trillion of tax_cut that aren't paid for __PUNCT__ or if thei paid for __PUNCT__ on the back of you __PUNCT__

that not a plan to deal with our deficit __PUNCT__

so what i said is __PUNCT__ look __PUNCT__ we go to get rid of program that don't work __PUNCT__

we don't want to wast monei __PUNCT__

we can't afford it __PUNCT__ we don't have enough __PUNCT__

and by the wai __PUNCT__ i not somebodi who believ that everi govern_program work __PUNCT__

i don't think govern can solv everi problem __PUNCT__

i don't think we can alwai help folk who don't want to help themselv __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ i don't care how much monei we spend on school if parent aren't parent __PUNCT__

so govern can't do everyth __PUNCT__ but there ar some thing we have to do to grow the economi __PUNCT__

so we got to invest in educ __PUNCT__

we got to invest in basic scienc and research __PUNCT__

we got to invest in infrastructur __PUNCT__

we got to make sure that medicar and social_secur ar there for our senior __PUNCT__

so in addit to wise spend_cut __PUNCT__ there noth wrong with ask the wealthi to pai a littl more in tax __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ let me just sai thi __PUNCT__ i don't need a tax_cut __PUNCT__ mr __PUNCT__

romnei sure doesn't need a tax cut __PUNCT__

i mean __PUNCT__ i don't want a tax cut if it mean __PUNCT__ suddenli __PUNCT__ student ar have a tougher time afford go to colleg __PUNCT__

i don't want a tax cut if it mean senior have to pai someth more for medicar __PUNCT__

and you know what __PUNCT__ a lot of success peopl agre with that __PUNCT__

and the reason thei do is becaus thei rememb what it wa like when thei weren't success and somebodi gave them a help hand __PUNCT__

and so i think a lot of peopl want to do the right thing __PUNCT__

but we can't have a cultur that just encourag selfish and look out for yourself and not look out for anybodi els __PUNCT__ just look out for you and not the next gener __PUNCT__

so there ar two fundament differ vision about how we move the countri forward __PUNCT__

and the great_thing about our democraci is you get to be the tiebreak __PUNCT__

it up to you __PUNCT__

it up to you to decid what vision make more sens __PUNCT__

mr __PUNCT__ romnei vision __PUNCT__ the vision of hi republican alli and some of the special_interest in washington __PUNCT__ we tri that vision __PUNCT__ and it didn't work __PUNCT__

my vision __PUNCT__ the last time we tri it wa when bill_clinton wa presid __PUNCT__

and we creat___NUM__ __NUM___million_job __PUNCT__ we had a budget surplu __PUNCT__ and we creat a whole lot of millionair to boot __PUNCT__

everybodi did well __PUNCT__ becaus we in it togeth __PUNCT__

and ultim __PUNCT__ that what it come down to __PUNCT__ do you believ that we on our own __PUNCT__ all of us __PUNCT__ or do you believ we in it togeth __PUNCT__ see __PUNCT__ when i think about what made america_great __PUNCT__ it been our rug_individu and our willing to take risk and peopl go out there and start a small_busi that becom a medium __PUNCT__ size busi __PUNCT__ becom a big_busi __PUNCT__ thei start hire __PUNCT__

all those thing have contribut __PUNCT__

but what ha also made us great is there ar some thing we understood we do togeth __PUNCT__

we build the hoover dam and the golden gate bridg __PUNCT__ togeth __PUNCT__

we take care of our veteran __PUNCT__ togeth __PUNCT__

we send them to school on the gi_bill __PUNCT__ togeth __PUNCT__

we invest in basic research that creat the internet __PUNCT__ togeth __PUNCT__

we send a man to the moon __PUNCT__ togeth __PUNCT__

we build the interst highwai_system __PUNCT__ togeth __PUNCT__

we do these thing not becaus it help ani on of us individu __PUNCT__ but becaus it give opportun for all of us to succe __PUNCT__

that what at stake in thi elect __PUNCT__

and you ar the tiebreak __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ over the next __NUM___month __PUNCT__ you will see a lot of stuff on tv __PUNCT__

the other side is spend more monei than we ever seen befor __PUNCT__

i mean __PUNCT__ you got billionair just write __MONEY___million check __PUNCT__

thei just __PUNCT__ thei spend_monei like nobodi busi __PUNCT__

and all of them have the same messag __PUNCT__ all these ad __PUNCT__ which basic is __PUNCT__ the economi is bad __PUNCT__ and it obama fault __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ i mean __PUNCT__ thei got variat on thi theme __PUNCT__ but it the same theme everi time __PUNCT__

sometim thei sai __PUNCT__ it obama fault becaus he think govern is all the answer __PUNCT__

sometim it becaus __PUNCT__ well __PUNCT__ obama __PUNCT__ he doesn't have privat_sector experi make a lot of monei like the other gui __PUNCT__

some of it is __PUNCT__ well __PUNCT__ he just think everyth is fine or he is in over hi head __PUNCT__

but it all the same theme __PUNCT__

and i think a lot of peopl ar look at thi __PUNCT__

thei sai __PUNCT__ we don't know how thi is go to turn out becaus we never seen a sit presid outspent like thi __PUNCT__ with all thi monei and all these neg attack __PUNCT__

and mayb it work __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

no __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

but it a plan to run a campaign __PUNCT__

it not a plan to put_peopl back to work __PUNCT__

their plan is not a plan to grow the middl_class __PUNCT__

and when i think back to my first campaign __PUNCT__ and i think back to that first senat_campaign that i ran __PUNCT__ what i alwai rememb __PUNCT__ what michel and i learn __PUNCT__ wa folk can spend a whole lot of monei and thei can run a whole bunch of neg attack __PUNCT__

but when the american_peopl decid what right __PUNCT__ when ordinari_peopl ar remind of what best in us __PUNCT__ when we rememb what our valu ar and we will to fight for them __PUNCT__ when we will to sai __PUNCT__ you know what __PUNCT__ thi is not just about me __PUNCT__ but thi is about my kid and my grandkid __PUNCT__ and so i go to work as hard as i can and i go to talk to my friend and i go to talk to my neighbor __PUNCT__ i go to talk to my cowork and i know it go to be frustrat and i know it go to be hard sometim and there ar go to be setback __PUNCT__ but i go to stai with it __PUNCT__ and enough peopl_start have that feel __PUNCT__ noth can stop them __PUNCT__

noth can stop you __PUNCT__

i don't care how much the other side spend __PUNCT__

you cannot be stop onc you have decid what is right and what is true __PUNCT__

in the last elect __PUNCT__ i told peopl __PUNCT__ i not a perfect man and i certainli wasn't go to be a perfect presid __PUNCT__

but i said __PUNCT__ i alwai tell you what i thought and i alwai tell you where i stood and i spend everi singl_dai fight as hard as i knew how for you to try to make sure that everi singl on of you had the same chanc as my famili had becaus i saw myself in you __PUNCT__

i saw my hope and dream in you __PUNCT__

and when i see your kid __PUNCT__ i see my kid __PUNCT__

and when i see your grandpar __PUNCT__ i see my grandpar __PUNCT__

and i have kept that promis __PUNCT__

and as long as i have the privileg of be your presid __PUNCT__ i will keep that promis becaus i still believ in you __PUNCT__

and if you still believ in me __PUNCT__ and if you will to stand with me and knock on some door with me and make some phone_call with me __PUNCT__ we will finish what we start in __NUM__ __PUNCT__

and we will grow thi middl_class __PUNCT__ and we will strengthen america __PUNCT__ and we remind the world just why it is that we live in the greatest nation on earth __PUNCT__

god_bless you __PUNCT__ and god bless the unit_state of america __PUNCT__ thank you __PUNCT__
