__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ but __PUNCT__ now __PUNCT__ as you mai have heard __PUNCT__ we on the bu here in ohio __PUNCT__

we been travel through __PUNCT__

we went to parma and sanduski and maume __PUNCT__ and now we here __PUNCT__ and oak harbor __PUNCT__ akron __PUNCT__

and i been eat a lot __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ and peopl have been comment i need to gain some weight __PUNCT__ so the __PUNCT__ audienc member __PUNCT__

ye __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

wait __PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ who said that __PUNCT__ ye __PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ well __PUNCT__ you be happi to know that i been eat __PUNCT__

and in between the eat __PUNCT__ we been talk a littl bit about polit __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ you gui ar get bombard with all kind of nonsens on tv __PUNCT__

so i know that sometim polit can be discourag __PUNCT__ and especi __PUNCT__ washington polit can be discourag __PUNCT__ and it can seem small and it can seem petti __PUNCT__

but the choic in thi elect could not be bigger and the stake could not be higher __PUNCT__

thi year is go to be about more than just two candid or even two polit_parti __PUNCT__

what at stake thi time is two fundament differ vision about how america move_forward __PUNCT__ two wai of think about thi countri __PUNCT__

when i think about america __PUNCT__ i think about my famili __PUNCT__ and i think about my grandfath who fought in world_war_ii __PUNCT__ and my grandmoth __PUNCT__ who __PUNCT__ even with a babi __PUNCT__ wa work on a bomber assembl_line __PUNCT__

and when my grandfath came back_home __PUNCT__ he got the opportun to go to colleg becaus of the gi_bill __PUNCT__

and i think about my mom __PUNCT__ a singl_mom __PUNCT__ becaus my dad left when i wa a babi __PUNCT__

so she had to rais me and my sister with the help of my grandpar __PUNCT__ and it wa tough sometim __PUNCT__ but she wa abl to do it and get her own educ and then ensur i got a great educ becaus she wa abl to get student_loan and grant __PUNCT__

and then i think about michel parent __PUNCT__

her dad work at the water filtrat plant __PUNCT__ a blue collar_worker in chicago __PUNCT__ and mom stai at home look after the kid __PUNCT__ and then when the kid got older __PUNCT__ she went to work as a secretari at a bank __PUNCT__ and she work there most of her life __PUNCT__

and when i think about both michel famili and my famili __PUNCT__ what i am remind of is what made america_great wa thi basic_idea __PUNCT__ thi basic bargain __PUNCT__ that all of you experienc in your own famili __PUNCT__ your parent __PUNCT__ your grandpar __PUNCT__ your great __PUNCT__ grandpar __PUNCT__ mayb some of them emigr here from someplac els __PUNCT__

but the idea wa __PUNCT__ here in america __PUNCT__ you could make it if you try __PUNCT__ that it doesn't matter what you look like __PUNCT__ where you come from __PUNCT__ what church you worship in __PUNCT__

the idea is that if you ar will to put in the work and take respons for your famili __PUNCT__ just like dan wa talk about __PUNCT__ if you will to stick with it and tough it out when time got tough sometim __PUNCT__ that ultim __PUNCT__ hard_work wa reward and respons wa respect __PUNCT__ and you didn't just look out for yourself but you look out for your commun as well as your famili and your countri __PUNCT__

and you know __PUNCT__ nobodi expect to get fabul rich __PUNCT__ although it wa great if peopl got rich __PUNCT__

but when i think about my famili or michel famili __PUNCT__ what made us rich wa spend_time togeth __PUNCT__

and the idea wa that if our famili were of good charact and had good valu and you were will to work_hard __PUNCT__ then you could find a job that paid a decent_wage __PUNCT__ and eventu __PUNCT__ save up __PUNCT__ you could own a home __PUNCT__

and you knew that you wouldn't go bankrupt when you got sick becaus you had some health_insur __PUNCT__ and mayb you took a vacat everi onc in a while __PUNCT__ and it wasn't necessarili some fanci vacat at some fanci resort __PUNCT__

the best vacat i had when i wa a kid wa we __PUNCT__ my grandmoth and my mom and my sister __PUNCT__ we travel around the countri on greyhound buse and on train __PUNCT__ and we stai at howard johnson __PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__

and i wa __NUM__ and so if there wa ani kind of swim_pool __PUNCT__ it didn't matter how big it wa __PUNCT__ right __PUNCT__ you spend the whole dai there __PUNCT__ and then you real excit to go to where the vend_machin wa and the ic machin and get the ic __PUNCT__ and that wa like a big_deal __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ and you would just see the sight and stop by a diner someplac __PUNCT__

so you have that chanc to take a littl bit of time off to spend with your famili __PUNCT__ and then when you retir __PUNCT__ you were abl to retir with digniti and respect __PUNCT__

and you were part of a commun __PUNCT__

and that basic bargain is what built thi countri __PUNCT__

that what made us an econom superpow __PUNCT__

that what made us the envi of the world __PUNCT__ not the fact that we had the most millionair or billionair __PUNCT__ but the fact that our economi grew from the middl out and there were ladder of opportun for peopl to get into the middl_class __PUNCT__ even if thei were born poor __PUNCT__

and the reason i ran for presid __PUNCT__ the reason i ran the first time for a state_senat senat_seat on the south_side of chicago __PUNCT__ wa becaus for too mani peopl that bargain __PUNCT__ that dream __PUNCT__ felt like it wa slip awai for too mani peopl __PUNCT__

we had gone through a decad where peopl were work_harder and harder __PUNCT__ but thei didn't see ani increas in incom __PUNCT__

and profit were go sky high for a lot of compani __PUNCT__ but job weren't grow fast enough __PUNCT__

and the cost of everyth from health_care to colleg_tuition to groceri to ga kept go up faster than peopl incom __PUNCT__

so a lot of folk felt like that idea that we not onli could live a good middl_class class_life __PUNCT__ but more importantli __PUNCT__ we could pass it on to our kid and thei could succe the wai we might not have imagin __PUNCT__ thei could go to colleg and do some thing that we couldn't imagin do __PUNCT__ that felt like it wa slip awai for too mani peopl __PUNCT__

that why i got into polit __PUNCT__

that why i ran for presid __PUNCT__

that why in __NUM__ a lot of you came togeth and help support us __PUNCT__

and we didn't even realiz then that we were go to be get hit with the worst econom_crisi __PUNCT__ the worst financi_crisi in our lifetim __PUNCT__

and obvious __PUNCT__ the hardship that occur becaus of that made that dream even a littl bit further out of reach for too mani peopl __PUNCT__

we came togeth __PUNCT__ and it wasn't just democrat __PUNCT__ by the wai __PUNCT__ it wa independ and republican who want to figur out how do we put that basic bargain back togeth to grow the middl_class not from the top down __PUNCT__ but from the middl and from the bottom up __PUNCT__

that wa our idea __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ we knew from the start in __NUM__ that turn that around wasn't go to happen overnight __PUNCT__

it didn't happen overnight __PUNCT__ and so we weren't go to revers it overnight __PUNCT__

but we been steadi __PUNCT__

we work_hard __PUNCT__ and i know all of you have work hard __PUNCT__

and dan stori is typic of so mani peopl i meet who had to make adjust and deal with some disappoint __PUNCT__ but came back stronger and came back tougher __PUNCT__

and that what america and that what ohio ha been do __PUNCT__

so over the last sever year __PUNCT__ what we seen ar peopl who go out and retrain for new job __PUNCT__

and small_busi have to adapt __PUNCT__ and sometim __PUNCT__ the owner doesn't take a salari just to keep folk on the payrol __PUNCT__

and i met a woman yesterdai in parma who i had met a year_earlier __PUNCT__

she had been out of work for __NUM___year and had gone back to commun_colleg at the ag of __NUM__ and retrain __PUNCT__

and i saw her in the rope line after my speech __PUNCT__

she had just been certifi and wa start her new job on tuesdai and after have done __NUM___year at a commun_colleg __PUNCT__

so those stori ar duplic themselv all across ohio and all across the countri __PUNCT__

but it still tough out there __PUNCT__

we learn thi morn that our busi creat___NUM__ new job last month __PUNCT__ and that overal mean that busi have creat __NUM___million new job over the past___NUM__ __NUM___month __PUNCT__ includ___NUM__ new manufactur_job __PUNCT__

that a step in the right direct __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ applaus __PUNCT__ that a step in the right direct __PUNCT__

but we can't be satisfi __PUNCT__ becaus our goal wa never to just keep on work to get back to where we were back in __NUM__ __PUNCT__

i want to get back to a time when middl_class class_famili and those work to get into the middl_class have some basic secur __PUNCT__

that our goal __PUNCT__

so we got to grow the economi even faster __PUNCT__ and we got to put even more peopl back to work __PUNCT__

and we got to tap into the basic charact of thi countri __PUNCT__ becaus our charact ha not chang __PUNCT__ even though we gone through some tough_time these last few year __PUNCT__

it hasn't chang our charact __PUNCT__

it hasn't chang what made us great __PUNCT__

it hasn't chang why we came togeth in __NUM__ __PUNCT__

so again __PUNCT__ our mission is not just to get back to where we were befor the crisi __PUNCT__

we got to deal with what been happen over the last decad __PUNCT__ the last __NUM___year __PUNCT__ manufactur leav our shore __PUNCT__ incom flatlin __PUNCT__ all those thing ar what we got to struggl and fight for __PUNCT__

and that the reason that i run for a second term as presid of the unit_state __PUNCT__

i want to move thi countri forward __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ applaus __PUNCT__ i want to move thi countri forward __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

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

thank you __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ here the thing __PUNCT__

rememb __PUNCT__ i told you thi wa a choic that we got to make __PUNCT__ becaus what hold us back right now is not that we don't have good_answer for how we could grow the economi faster or put more peopl back to work __PUNCT__

the problem is we got a stalem in washington __PUNCT__

we got two fundament differ idea about where we should take the countri __PUNCT__

and thi __PUNCT__ audienc member __PUNCT__

put congress to work __PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

we try to put congress to work __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ and thi elect is about how we break that stalem __PUNCT__

and the good new is it in your power to break thi stalem __PUNCT__

it in the power of everybodi who live in ohio __PUNCT__ everybodi who live in poland __PUNCT__ everybodi who live all across the midwest __PUNCT__

all those folk out there __PUNCT__ whether you punch a clock or start a busi __PUNCT__ you got a chanc to move thi countri forward __PUNCT__

but you go to have to make a choic about which direct we go in __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ my oppon and hi alli in congress __PUNCT__ and the special_interest that support them __PUNCT__ thei got a particular idea of how you grow an economi __PUNCT__

it actual a pretti simpl idea __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ their basic_idea is that if we spend trillion of dollar more on tax_cut __PUNCT__ most of the benefit go to some of the wealthiest individu in the countri so the averag millionair get a __MONEY__ tax_break __PUNCT__ even if we got to gut educ to do it __PUNCT__ even if we got to cut job_train train_program to do it __PUNCT__ even if we got to increas middl_class tax to do it __PUNCT__ if we cut trillion of dollar in tax and we elimin regul __PUNCT__ all kind of regul __PUNCT__ the regul we just put in place to make sure that wall_street doesn't engag in reckless behavior that we have to bail out later or regul that prevent insur_compani from exclud peopl with preexist condit from coverag or regul that protect_consum from be taken advantag of by credit_card_compani __PUNCT__ if we elimin all those regul and we combin those with the tax_cut __PUNCT__ then wealthi investor and compani will do veri well and the benefit then will spread to everybodi els __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ that the idea __PUNCT__

i not make thi up __PUNCT__

i sure that thei would sai it differ __PUNCT__ thei describ it differ __PUNCT__ but that their basic theori __PUNCT__

and you can go to mr __PUNCT__ romnei web_site __PUNCT__ or you can look at the plan that the republican in the hous of repres vote for __PUNCT__ and you see that that basic their plan __PUNCT__

that their vision __PUNCT__

their basic_idea is if everybodi is just on their own __PUNCT__ do what thei do __PUNCT__ everyth is go to turn out just fine __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ it a theori __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ but i think it wrong __PUNCT__

i think it wrong __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ applaus __PUNCT__ i think it wrong __PUNCT__

and the reason i think it wrong is we just tri it __PUNCT__

we tri it in the decad befor i took offic __PUNCT__

and let look at what happen __PUNCT__

we saw us fight two war on a credit_card __PUNCT__

the tax_cut turn a surplu into a deficit __PUNCT__

and the lack of regul result in what happen on wall_street __PUNCT__ and we end up with the biggest crisi that we ever seen __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

that ain't right __PUNCT__

the presid __PUNCT__

it ain't right __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ it not a smart theori __PUNCT__

i mean __PUNCT__ if we hadn't tri it befor you might sai __PUNCT__ okai __PUNCT__ let give that a shot __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ but we just tri it __PUNCT__ and it didn't work __PUNCT__

and you know __PUNCT__ if you look throughout our histori __PUNCT__ that kind of top __PUNCT__ down econom ha never work __PUNCT__

so we got to have somebodi who fight for you __PUNCT__ somebodi who think about how to grow the economi from the middl out __PUNCT__ from the bottom up __PUNCT__ not from the top down __PUNCT__

that why i run for a second term as presid __PUNCT__

i got a differ idea __PUNCT__

i got a differ theori __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

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

just like their theori ha been test __PUNCT__ let talk about my theori __PUNCT__ my vision __PUNCT__

when the american auto_industri wa on the brink of collaps __PUNCT__ and more than __NUM___million_job were on the line __PUNCT__ and __NUM__ in __NUM___job in ohio depend on the auto_industri __PUNCT__ not just the folk in the auto plant __PUNCT__ not just the union_worker __PUNCT__ but all those supplier up and down the chain __PUNCT__ everi restaur outsid the plant __PUNCT__ everi store __PUNCT__ everi school depend on those job and that industri __PUNCT__ and you had some folk sai let let detroit go bankrupt __PUNCT__ and thei weren't just talk about detroit __PUNCT__ by the wai __PUNCT__ we said __PUNCT__ you know what __PUNCT__ we go to bet on the american_worker __PUNCT__

we go to bet on american_industri __PUNCT__

and now chrysler is back __PUNCT__ and gm is the number __PUNCT__ on compani in the world __PUNCT__ and ford is on the move __PUNCT__

that my theori __PUNCT__ bet on the american_worker and american_busi __PUNCT__

that why i want to move us forward __PUNCT__

and i believ that what happen in the auto_industri can happen in a lot of other industri __PUNCT__ becaus i believ in american_manufactur __PUNCT__

the futur of american manufactur can still be forg in place like youngstown and cleveland and pittsburgh __PUNCT__

and i go to run to make sure that that happen __PUNCT__

i want to sell more good stamp with three proud word __PUNCT__ made in america __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ applaus __PUNCT__ made in america __PUNCT__

and that start with us chang our tax_code so we stop give tax_break to compani that ar ship job_oversea __PUNCT__

i want to give tax_break to compani that ar invest right here in poland __PUNCT__ ohio __PUNCT__ in parma __PUNCT__ ohio __PUNCT__ in cincinnati __PUNCT__ ohio __PUNCT__ in the unit_state of america __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ you look at the success of dan compani __PUNCT__

i just went over and visit and took some sauc __PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ that i am go to us thi weekend __PUNCT__

those ar the kind of compani that start as a famili busi and ar now grow and grow and expand __PUNCT__ and suddenli thei becom medium __PUNCT__ size busi __PUNCT__ then thei becom big_busi __PUNCT__

and america ha got the most competit worker on earth __PUNCT__ the most product __PUNCT__

but we got to make sure that our law ar encourag invest here in the unit_state __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ thi is a differ idea than the other gui __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ mr __PUNCT__ romnei experi __PUNCT__ becaus he alwai sai __PUNCT__ i got a lot of busi experi __PUNCT__ i know how to creat_job __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ well __PUNCT__ look __PUNCT__ hi compani that he start were call the __PUNCT__ pioneer __PUNCT__ of busi outsourc __PUNCT__ the __PUNCT__ pioneer __PUNCT__ of outsourc __PUNCT__

so that hi experi __PUNCT__

my experi is work with worker and manag to save the auto_industri __PUNCT__

that your choic __PUNCT__ becaus i go to fight for your job here in the unit_state __PUNCT__

but that not enough __PUNCT__ that not the whole vision __PUNCT__ becaus we also got to continu to improv our own competit __PUNCT__ which mean that i run to make sure that onc again __PUNCT__ our kid ar get the best educ in the world __PUNCT__

i want us to hire new teacher __PUNCT__ not lai more teacher off __PUNCT__ especi in math and scienc __PUNCT__

i want to extend the tuition tax_credit that we put in place that alreadi save million of famili thousand of dollar __PUNCT__

i want to extend that __PUNCT__

we just won the fight to stop congress from let student_loan rate doubl for __NUM___million student __PUNCT__

now i want to work with colleg and univers to bring tuition down onc and for all __PUNCT__

i want to give __NUM__ million more american the chanc to go to commun_colleg and learn the skill like that woman i saw yesterdai had learn __PUNCT__ becaus there ar job out there right now that aren't match up with the skill peopl have __PUNCT__

and if we get those compani to come in and help design the train_program __PUNCT__ those folk can go back to work __PUNCT__

i want __NUM___million more of those folk benefit from that kind of partnership between busi and commun_colleg __PUNCT__

i want to do more in the area of hous __PUNCT__

my administr ha alreadi help more than a million respons homeown refin their mortgag __PUNCT__

but that onli a few of the potenti famili that could take advantag of histor low_rate __PUNCT__

so what we said to congress is __PUNCT__ let get to work __PUNCT__

give everybodi the chanc to refin __PUNCT__ includ folk whose home ar underwat __PUNCT__

that will save the averag_famili __MONEY__ a year __PUNCT__

who can us __MONEY__ a year __PUNCT__ put that monei in your pocket __PUNCT__ and that allow you __PUNCT__ that like a huge tax_cut for you __PUNCT__ which you could then spend at restaur and at store and help to pai that colleg_tuition for that kid who is go off to colleg __PUNCT__

it could make all the differ in the world __PUNCT__

that my theori of how you grow an economi __PUNCT__

i run becaus i continu to be convinc that in a countri like our __PUNCT__ the greatest countri on earth __PUNCT__ nobodi should go bankrupt just becaus thei get sick __PUNCT__

i am proud of the work we did to get that health_care law_pass __PUNCT__

it wa the right thing to do __PUNCT__

john boccieri know it wa the right thing to do __PUNCT__

over in parma yesterdai __PUNCT__ i saw a woman john and i both know name natoma canfield __PUNCT__

i got a letter that she wrote __PUNCT__ hung up in the oval_offic __PUNCT__ that talk about her fear when she got cancer and the fact that she wasn't sure she ever be abl to get insur again __PUNCT__

and she kept on try to hang onto it becaus she wa worri she get that cancer back __PUNCT__

and final __PUNCT__ she had to let her insur go __PUNCT__ and she didn't know what wa go to happen __PUNCT__

and becaus of thi bill __PUNCT__ she is abl to get the treatment she need __PUNCT__

and you know what __PUNCT__ i work with anybodi who want to continu to work __PUNCT__ whether it the state_level or the feder_level __PUNCT__ to continu to improv thi law __PUNCT__

but it wa the right thing to do __PUNCT__ to make sure that if you got a preexist condit __PUNCT__ you can still get health_insur __PUNCT__

it wa the right thing to do __PUNCT__

for those of you who alreadi have health insur __PUNCT__ the onli thing thi doe is make your health insur more secur __PUNCT__ becaus it mean insur_compani can't impos lifetim limit or us fine_print __PUNCT__ so when you realli need it __PUNCT__ suddenli __PUNCT__ the insur isn't there __PUNCT__

it what allow your kid to potenti stai on your health_insur insur_polici up to __NUM___year old __PUNCT__

it help senior get a better deal on their prescript_drug __PUNCT__

and it will help peopl who don't have health_insur for the first time be abl to get it at afford price __PUNCT__

it the right thing to do __PUNCT__

and by the wai __PUNCT__ when you hear all these folk sai __PUNCT__ oh __PUNCT__ no __PUNCT__ no __PUNCT__ thi is a tax __PUNCT__ thi is a burden on middl_class class_famili __PUNCT__ let me tell you __PUNCT__ we know becaus the gui i run against tri thi in massachusett and it work just fine __PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ even though now he deni it __PUNCT__

basic __PUNCT__ what we sai is __PUNCT__ you know what __PUNCT__ if you have health_insur __PUNCT__ you all good __PUNCT__ if you don't have health insur __PUNCT__ we help you get it __PUNCT__

if you can afford to bui_health health_insur and you don't get it __PUNCT__ so that you forc us to pai for your health_care when you get sick or you get in an accid __PUNCT__ that ain't right __PUNCT__

so what we go to do is __PUNCT__ we go to charg you a penalti to make sure that you not unload those cost on everybodi els __PUNCT__

it will affect less than __NUM__ percent of the popul __PUNCT__ becaus most american ar respons and do the right thing __PUNCT__

i make no apolog for it __PUNCT__

we go to keep it move_forward __PUNCT__

it wa the right thing to do __NUM___year_ago __PUNCT__ it the right thing to do now __PUNCT__ and we go to keep move __PUNCT__
