some illinoisan in the hous __PUNCT__
and illinoi is a lot like virginia becaus it incred divers __PUNCT__
you got big_citi __PUNCT__ you got small_town __PUNCT__
there ar farm commun __PUNCT__ there ar suburban commun __PUNCT__
folk from everi walk of life __PUNCT__ black __PUNCT__ white __PUNCT__ latino __PUNCT__ asian __PUNCT__ nativ_american __PUNCT__ you name it __PUNCT__
and as i wa travel around in those first campaign __PUNCT__ now __PUNCT__ back then i wa do my own drive __PUNCT__ and there wa no mapquest __PUNCT__ so you had to get the old map __PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ that you couldn't figur out how to fold back __PUNCT__ and i get lost all the time __PUNCT__
__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ and sometim __PUNCT__ i get to an event __PUNCT__ and i have to find a park spot __PUNCT__ and that would take a while __PUNCT__ and then __PUNCT__ i be come in late __PUNCT__
but what inspir me so much in that first race wa the fact that no matter where i went __PUNCT__ there wa a certain common thread __PUNCT__ a certain common_theme __PUNCT__ a certain set of stori that were consist in everi commun __PUNCT__
and those stori remind me of my own famili stori __PUNCT__
so i meet an elderli veteran __PUNCT__ and i think back to my grandpar __PUNCT__
my grandfath fought in world_war_ii __PUNCT__ and while he wa awai __PUNCT__ my grandmoth __PUNCT__ in addit to look after my mom who had just been born __PUNCT__ also work on a bomber assembl_line __PUNCT__
and when my grandfath came back __PUNCT__ he wa abl to go to colleg becaus of the gi_bill __PUNCT__ and thei were abl to afford their first home through an fha loan __PUNCT__
and sometim __PUNCT__ i travel __PUNCT__ and i meet a singl_mom __PUNCT__ and that would remind me of my mother __PUNCT__ who had to rais me and my sister pretti much on her own __PUNCT__ with the help of my grandpar __PUNCT__ becaus my father had left __PUNCT__
she didn't have a lot of monei __PUNCT__ but she wa abl to work and go to school at the same_time and help other peopl through her work and then ultim give me and my sister the best educ thi world ha to offer __PUNCT__
and then sometim __PUNCT__ i be talk to some work folk __PUNCT__ and i think about michel famili __PUNCT__
her dad wa a blue __PUNCT__ collar_worker __PUNCT__ he work at the water filtrat plant in chicago __PUNCT__
and he had ms __PUNCT__ so by the time i met him __PUNCT__ he could bare walk __PUNCT__
he had to us two cane __PUNCT__
and he had to wake up an hour earlier than everybodi els to get to the job __PUNCT__
it took him that long to get dress and get readi __PUNCT__
but he never miss a dai of work __PUNCT__
and michel mom __PUNCT__ after stai at home for a while __PUNCT__ she work as a secretari __PUNCT__
and thei live in a small apart abov a hous that somebodi els own __PUNCT__
but somehow thei were abl to give michel and her brother thi incred educ so thei could achiev dream that thei wouldn't have even imagin __PUNCT__
and so the point is that dure thi campaign __PUNCT__ dure all the campaign i run __PUNCT__ what i alwai been move by __PUNCT__ what alwai inspir me is that at the center of our stori is thi basic american_idea __PUNCT__ thi core american_dream __PUNCT__ that sai __PUNCT__ in thi countri __PUNCT__ like no other __PUNCT__ if you ar will to work_hard __PUNCT__ you can make it if you try __PUNCT__
if you will to meet your respons to not onli yourself and your famili __PUNCT__ but to your commun and your countri __PUNCT__ you can enjoi the secur of a middl_class class_life __PUNCT__
and that not a matter of how much is in your bank_account __PUNCT__
it mean that you can find a job that support a famili __PUNCT__
it mean that you can get a home to call your own __PUNCT__
it mean you not bankrupt when you get sick __PUNCT__
it mean mayb you can take a vacat onc in a while __PUNCT__ noth fanci __PUNCT__ but you have the chanc to spend_time with your famili and enjoi their compani __PUNCT__
it mean that you can send your kid to a good school __PUNCT__ and if thei will to work_hard __PUNCT__ thei can get a great educ and go on as far as their dream take them __PUNCT__
and it mean that you can retir with some digniti and some respect __PUNCT__
it that basic bargain that make thi countri great __PUNCT__
it that basic bargain that built the econom superpow that we ar todai __PUNCT__
it that basic bargain that made us the envi of the world __PUNCT__
and what i think we all understood back in __NUM__ wa that for almost a decad __PUNCT__ that dream felt like it wa slip awai __PUNCT__
for too mani peopl __PUNCT__ harder work didn't result in higher_incom or higher_wage __PUNCT__
for too mani peopl __PUNCT__ thei saw their cost of health_care or colleg or ga or groceri go up and up and up __PUNCT__ while basic what thei were bring in stai stagnant or even went down __PUNCT__
and so we came togeth __PUNCT__ not just democrat __PUNCT__ but republican and independ too __PUNCT__ becaus we not democrat of republican first __PUNCT__ we american first __PUNCT__
so we came togeth to fight for that american_idea __PUNCT__
we understood that we had to bring about a chang __PUNCT__ becaus we understood that the economi work in thi countri when it work for everybodi __PUNCT__ not just for the few __PUNCT__
but look __PUNCT__ we knew that turn thi thing around wasn't go to be easi __PUNCT__
the challeng we face __PUNCT__ the roadblock __PUNCT__ the barrier for middl_class class_famili __PUNCT__ thei hadn't arisen overnight __PUNCT__ thei weren't go to be solv overnight __PUNCT__
we knew that it wa go to take probabl more than __NUM___year or on term or mayb even on presid __PUNCT__
but we were will to try __PUNCT__
we want to get start __PUNCT__
and so what we didn't understand __PUNCT__ though __PUNCT__ wa some of the problem had been build up so much that we end up see the worst financi_crisi sinc the great_depress __PUNCT__
and that crisi ha result in million of peopl lose their job and home valu declin and folk have a tough_time __PUNCT__
and for the last 3½ year __PUNCT__ we have fought_back __PUNCT__ to creat___NUM__ __NUM___million new job and __NUM__ new manufactur_job __PUNCT__ to start right the ship so we can start move in the right direct __PUNCT__
but we got so much more work to do __PUNCT__
here the good new __PUNCT__ for all these tough_time __PUNCT__ the american_peopl ar tougher __PUNCT__
peopl mai have gotten knock down __PUNCT__ but thei gotten back up __PUNCT__
what ha not chang sinc __NUM__ is the charact of thi countri __PUNCT__ the charact of it peopl __PUNCT__
and so our mission now is the same mission that we had in __NUM__ __PUNCT__
ye __PUNCT__ it to get peopl back to work right awai and to solv some of these hous problem right awai __PUNCT__ but it also __PUNCT__ how do we build an economi that last and work for everybodi __PUNCT__ how do we build an economi where hard_work pai off __PUNCT__ whether you start a busi or punch a clock __PUNCT__ you know that if you put in the effort __PUNCT__ you get ahead __PUNCT__ that what thi campaign is about __PUNCT__
that what my presid ha been about __PUNCT__
we got more work to do __PUNCT__
and that why i run for a second term as 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__ let me sai thi __PUNCT__
it popular sometim among some pundit to sai __PUNCT__ or comment to sai __PUNCT__ well __PUNCT__ mayb america best dai ar behind us __PUNCT__
i don't believ that __PUNCT__
audienc member __PUNCT__
no __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__
we remain the most power countri on earth by far __PUNCT__
we got all the ingredi to make the __NUM___centuri the american_centuri just like the __NUM___centuri __PUNCT__
the problem we have is not a lack of solut __PUNCT__ it not good_idea __PUNCT__
the problem we have right now is we got a stalem in washington __PUNCT__
and thi stalem is not just a differ between two candid or even two polit_parti __PUNCT__ it is a __PUNCT__ it repres two fundament differ idea about how we move thi countri forward __PUNCT__
my oppon and hi congression alli __PUNCT__ thei believ in what i call top __PUNCT__ down econom __PUNCT__
audienc member __PUNCT__
boo __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__
their basic view is that if we cut_tax trillion of dollar __PUNCT__ mostli for those at the veri top __PUNCT__ even if it mean cut educ fund __PUNCT__ even if it mean cut basic research __PUNCT__ even if it mean underfund our infrastructur __PUNCT__ and even if it mean make medicar a voucher system __PUNCT__ that somehow that go to be good for everybodi __PUNCT__
audienc member __PUNCT__
boo __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__
so that on big_part of their idea __PUNCT__ is you cut_tax for folk at the top __PUNCT__
their second big_idea is if you elimin regul on oil_compani or insur_compani or credit_card_compani or pollut __PUNCT__ that somehow that will free up the engin of growth __PUNCT__
so those ar basic their two __PUNCT__ those ar the onli two idea thei have __PUNCT__
don't take my word for it __PUNCT__
go on their web_site __PUNCT__
__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ look at the republican budget in the hous of repres __PUNCT__
that their basic approach __PUNCT__
thei believ that somehow all these benefit ar go to trickl down if we just implement their plan __PUNCT__
now __PUNCT__ there noth wrong with have an idea __PUNCT__ a theori __PUNCT__ and test it out __PUNCT__
here the thing __PUNCT__ we test it out for almost a decad __PUNCT__
we tri thi befor __PUNCT__
and guess what __PUNCT__ virginia __PUNCT__ it did not work __PUNCT__
we tri almost exactli what thei ar propos __PUNCT__ and here ar the result __PUNCT__ we went from surplus to deficit __PUNCT__
we had the most sluggish job_growth in decad __PUNCT__
the averag_incom of middl_class class_famili actual went down __PUNCT__
and it culmin in thi mess that we ar still dig ourselv out from under __PUNCT__
now __PUNCT__ normal __PUNCT__ in your own live __PUNCT__ if you do someth over and over again and it doesn't work __PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ at some point you decid __PUNCT__ let try someth new __PUNCT__
so we don't need more top __PUNCT__ down econom __PUNCT__
i believ in a middl __PUNCT__ out econom __PUNCT__ a bottom __PUNCT__ up econom __PUNCT__
i believ that when hard __PUNCT__ work_american ar do well __PUNCT__ everybodi doe well __PUNCT__
that been our histori __PUNCT__
that been the evid __PUNCT__
that why i ran for presid __PUNCT__ to fight on behalf of the middl_class and those who ar strive to get in to the middl class __PUNCT__
and that why i run again for presid of the unit_state __PUNCT__
the presid __PUNCT__
so let just take a few exampl of the contrast between their approach and what i propos __PUNCT__
when the auto_industri wa on the brink of collaps __PUNCT__ my oppon said __PUNCT__ let let detroit go bankrupt __PUNCT__
audienc member __PUNCT__
boo __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__
i said __PUNCT__ let bet on american_worker and american ingenu __PUNCT__
and you know what __PUNCT__ gm is number on again __PUNCT__
chrysler is sell car again __PUNCT__
ford is on the move __PUNCT__
the u. __PUNCT__ auto_industri ha come roar back __PUNCT__
and what happen in the auto industri i want to see happen in manufactur all across thi countri __PUNCT__ right here in virginia __PUNCT__
we invest in advanc manufactur becaus we want to beat out countri like germani and china __PUNCT__
i want the great invent to be done here __PUNCT__ and i want great new product creat here __PUNCT__ which is why __PUNCT__ and thi is anoth contrast __PUNCT__ wherea my oppon __PUNCT__ in hi privat_busi __PUNCT__ wa invest in compani that the washington post call __PUNCT__ pioneer __PUNCT__ of outsourc __PUNCT__ i believ in insourc __PUNCT__
i want to stop give tax_break to compani that ar ship job_oversea __PUNCT__
let give those tax_break that ar invest right here in virginia __PUNCT__ right here in the unit_state of america __PUNCT__ hire american_worker to make american product to sell around the world __PUNCT__
that why i run for presid of the unit_state __PUNCT__
i run becaus __PUNCT__ after a decad of war __PUNCT__ i said we were go to end the war in iraq __PUNCT__ and we did __PUNCT__
thank to the incred effort of our brave men and women in uniform __PUNCT__ thank to our veteran and their sacrific __PUNCT__ we been abl to decim al qaida leadership __PUNCT__ bin_laden is no more __PUNCT__
we transit out of afghanistan __PUNCT__
and so __PUNCT__ after a decad of war __PUNCT__ i think it a good_time for us to take half the monei that we save __PUNCT__ that us to be spent on war __PUNCT__ to pai down our deficit __PUNCT__ and let take the other half and rebuild america __PUNCT__ do some nation __PUNCT__ build here at home __PUNCT__
let rebuild our infrastructur __PUNCT__
let rebuild our road and our bridg __PUNCT__
northern_virginia know a littl bit about traffic __PUNCT__
let build broadband line and high speed rail __PUNCT__
let expand our port and improv our airport __PUNCT__
that what go to keep us at the cut __PUNCT__ edg of a __NUM__ __PUNCT__ centuri economi __PUNCT__
and we got ten of thousand of construct_worker readi to be put back to work __PUNCT__
why wouldn't we do some nation __PUNCT__ build here at home __PUNCT__ now __PUNCT__ thi is a disagr i got with the gui who lead the other parti __PUNCT__
that the choic that we got to make __PUNCT__
i run to make sure that the unit_state ha the best educ_system in the world __PUNCT__
i want to hire new __PUNCT__ outstand teacher __PUNCT__ especi in math and scienc __PUNCT__
we alreadi done work to make colleg more afford by make sure that your student_loan rate didn't doubl __PUNCT__ those student who ar here __PUNCT__ by provid tuition tax_credit that have save million of famili thousand of dollar __PUNCT__ by expand the pell_grant __PUNCT__
but now i want to actual reduc the cost of colleg so young_peopl aren't come out with thousand of dollar worth of debt __PUNCT__
i want to give __NUM___million more american the chanc to attend commun_colleg and get the technic train thei need to get the job that ar be creat right now here in virginia and around america __PUNCT__
becaus in the __NUM___centuri __PUNCT__ a higher_educ __PUNCT__ i don't care whether it a __NUM__ __PUNCT__ year __PUNCT__ or a __NUM__ __PUNCT__ year __PUNCT__ or a postdoc __PUNCT__ or whatev it is __PUNCT__ an advanc degre beyond high_school __PUNCT__ that not a luxuri __PUNCT__ that an econom necess __PUNCT__
that what our young_peopl deserv __PUNCT__
that what i intend to give them __PUNCT__
that why i run for presid of the unit_state __PUNCT__
i run to continu to strengthen our hous_market __PUNCT__ which ha been on of the biggest drag on our economi __PUNCT__
so i told_congress __PUNCT__ let creat an opportun where everi american can refin their home and take advantag of histor low_rate __PUNCT__
it would save the averag_famili __MONEY__ a year __PUNCT__
my oppon plan is to let the foreclosur plai themselv out and let the market hit bottom __PUNCT__
audienc member __PUNCT__
boo __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__
that not a plan __PUNCT__
that not a solut __PUNCT__
that a problem __PUNCT__
audienc member __PUNCT__
ye __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__
but that a differ in our approach __PUNCT__
mr __PUNCT__ romnei think that i made a bad_decis by repeal __PUNCT__ don't ask __PUNCT__ don't tell __PUNCT__
i think you should be abl to fight for your countri regardless of whom you love __PUNCT__
my oppon want to restrict the health_care option for women __PUNCT__
i believ women should make their own health care choic __PUNCT__
my oppon believ that we should have our immigr in thi countri __PUNCT__ if thei were kid and were brought here through no fault of their own and ar american in everi respect except a piec of paper __PUNCT__ that somehow we shouldn't show them the kind of compass that we would show our own kid __PUNCT__
i disagre __PUNCT__
i think we should have comprehens_immigr immigr_reform __PUNCT__ becaus we a nation of immigr and a nation of law __PUNCT__ and we can have tough border_secur and improv our immigr system __PUNCT__ but when i look out at what happen in virginia __PUNCT__ our immigr is a strength not a weak __PUNCT__
that a differ __PUNCT__
mr __PUNCT__ romnei want to repeal the afford_care_act __PUNCT__
audienc member __PUNCT__
boo __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__
now __PUNCT__ let me just sai that i pass thi bill becaus it wa the right thing to do __PUNCT__
the suprem_court ha spoken __PUNCT__
we ar implement thi law __PUNCT__
if you got health_insur __PUNCT__ the onli thing that happen for you is that you got more secur __PUNCT__ becaus insur_compani can't jerk you around and us fine_print to somehow restrict your care __PUNCT__
if you a young_person __PUNCT__ you can stai on your parent plan up until you __NUM___year old __PUNCT__
senior ar see lower_cost for their prescript_drug __PUNCT__
women ar get free prevent_care for thing like cervic cancer __PUNCT__
if you don't have health_insur __PUNCT__ we go to help you get it __PUNCT__
and if you can afford health insur and you don't bui it __PUNCT__ we not go to let you pass those cost on to other peopl __PUNCT__
so the afford_care_act wa the right thing to do __PUNCT__
health_care wa the right thing to do __PUNCT__
we not go backward __PUNCT__ we go forward __PUNCT__
that a differ in thi elect __PUNCT__
now __PUNCT__ let me talk about on more big contrast in thi elect __PUNCT__ and that is __PUNCT__ how do we deal with our deficit and our debt __PUNCT__
the other side sai thi is our most import problem __PUNCT__ we got to look out for futur_gener __PUNCT__
well __PUNCT__ let look at what thei actual propos __PUNCT__
thei propos __PUNCT__ on top of continu all the bush_tax_cut __PUNCT__ even for the wealthiest american __PUNCT__ to also then have anoth __MONEY___trillion in tax_cut __PUNCT__ __NUM__ percent of which would go to the wealthiest american __PUNCT__
audienc member __PUNCT__
boo __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__
no __PUNCT__ i mean __PUNCT__ thi is on their web_site __PUNCT__
their propos is in congress right now __PUNCT__
and the onli wai to pai for thi would be to gut our invest in transport __PUNCT__ educ __PUNCT__ basic research in thing like alzheim and cancer __PUNCT__ voucher the medicar system __PUNCT__
and thei will not ask for a singl dime of addit revenu from those who can afford to pai it __PUNCT__
i think that __PUNCT__ that not a recip for econom_growth __PUNCT__
so what i said is __PUNCT__ look __PUNCT__ middl_class class_famili __PUNCT__ folk who ar make___MONEY__ or less __PUNCT__ __NUM__ percent of american __PUNCT__ you shouldn't see your tax go up on dime __PUNCT__
you don't need to __PUNCT__
your incom_tax should stai constant __PUNCT__
and i said to congress let go ahead and get that done now __PUNCT__
let give __NUM__ percent of folk certainti right now __PUNCT__
by the wai __PUNCT__ __NUM__ percent of small_busi earn less than __MONEY__ so the vast_major of peopl would get immedi relief __PUNCT__
let cut program that don't work __PUNCT__
i alreadi made a trillion_dollar worth of cut __PUNCT__
not everi govern_program work __PUNCT__
govern can't alwai solv everi problem __PUNCT__
govern can't help folk who don't want to help themselv __PUNCT__
our educ_system won't improv just becaus of more monei __PUNCT__
it also involv parent instil a love of learn in their children __PUNCT__
but there no reason why we can't make the invest __PUNCT__ we probabl had somebodi who faint __PUNCT__
that happen sometim when __PUNCT__ you gui got to stai hydrat __PUNCT__
we get a paramed in there __PUNCT__
thei be all right __PUNCT__
just give them space __PUNCT__
thei be okai __PUNCT__
thei be okai __PUNCT__
ye __PUNCT__ thei be fine __PUNCT__
so the thing that we got to make sure of __PUNCT__ though __PUNCT__ is that we continu to make the invest we need to grow the economi __PUNCT__ and we can bring down our deficit __PUNCT__ get control of our debt by ask folk like me to do a littl bit more __PUNCT__
now __PUNCT__ let me just sai thi __PUNCT__
just like we tri their plan __PUNCT__ we tri what i talk about too __PUNCT__
a gui name bill_clinton did it __PUNCT__
and we end up have record surplus __PUNCT__ __NUM___million new job __PUNCT__ and the folk at the top did realli well also __PUNCT__ becaus when the middl_class and work_peopl ar do well __PUNCT__ everybodi doe well __PUNCT__
small_busi do well __PUNCT__
big_busi do well __PUNCT__
millionair do well __PUNCT__
billionair do well __PUNCT__
everybodi doe well when the economi is grow in a wai where everybodi prosper __PUNCT__
and so we got thi fundament choic in thi elect __PUNCT__ and the question is __PUNCT__ how bad ar we go to work for our vision __PUNCT__ becaus thi is go to be a close elect __PUNCT__ virginia __PUNCT__
i want everybodi to understand thi __PUNCT__
look __PUNCT__ it wa close the last time __PUNCT__ it will be even closer thi time __PUNCT__
it will be even closer thi time __PUNCT__
and we ar see more monei spent on neg_ad than ever befor __PUNCT__ folk just write __MONEY___million check becaus of thi citizen_unit opinion __PUNCT__ undisclos donat __PUNCT__
audienc member __PUNCT__
boo __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__
and so you ar go to be inund everi singl_dai __PUNCT__
you alreadi see it __PUNCT__
and thei all go to have a scari voic __PUNCT__
__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ and the ad __PUNCT__ thei got a veri simpl messag __PUNCT__ which is __PUNCT__ you know what __PUNCT__ the economi is not where it need to be __PUNCT__ and it obama fault __PUNCT__
that their onli messag __PUNCT__
thei have variat on the theme __PUNCT__ but it the same theme __PUNCT__
now __PUNCT__ i might be worri about that if it wasn't for the fact that you taught me someth in __NUM__ __PUNCT__
what you taught me wa that the american_peopl __PUNCT__ when thei get togeth __PUNCT__ when thei ar determin __PUNCT__ when thei cut through all the nonsens and thei sai __PUNCT__ thi is what matter __PUNCT__ thi is what right __PUNCT__ thi is what true __PUNCT__ when you tap into those stori of our parent and our grandpar and our great grandpar __PUNCT__ folk who mai have come here as immigr __PUNCT__ mayb were brought here on slave ship __PUNCT__ folk who came here __PUNCT__ but understood that there wa someth about thi countri where we don't have to settl for what is todai __PUNCT__ we can dream of what might be __PUNCT__ we go to fight __PUNCT__
we go to struggl __PUNCT__
we go to push togeth to build the kind of perfect_union that the founder talk about __PUNCT__
when you decid we go to move_forward __PUNCT__ we move forward __PUNCT__
