and we didn't even have mapquest back then __PUNCT__ so you had to unfold the map __PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ and try to figur out how it fold back __PUNCT__ and we get lost __PUNCT__ and __PUNCT__ but when i think back to those time __PUNCT__ those earli campaign __PUNCT__ we travel to inner __PUNCT__ citi commun and rural_commun and suburban commun __PUNCT__ and you meet folk from everi walk of life __PUNCT__ black __PUNCT__ white __PUNCT__ hispan __PUNCT__ asian __PUNCT__ nativ_american __PUNCT__ wealthi __PUNCT__ low_incom __PUNCT__

and what wa fascin wa that everywher you went __PUNCT__ there wa a common_theme __PUNCT__ a common thread __PUNCT__

i see an elderli coupl and i think about my grandpar __PUNCT__ my grandfath __PUNCT__ who fought in world_war_ii __PUNCT__ and my grandmoth __PUNCT__ who work on a bomber assembl_line while he wa gone __PUNCT__

and when he came back __PUNCT__ he wa abl to get a colleg_educ on the gi_bill __PUNCT__ and thei were abl to bui a home with the help of an fha loan __PUNCT__

and i think about the journei thei travel and how remark that wa and how that repres all that the greatest_gener had done __PUNCT__

and then i meet a singl_mom somewher and i think about my mom __PUNCT__ who basic rais me and my sister on her own becaus my father left __PUNCT__ and how she had to struggl to work while she wa put herself through school and still keep us on track __PUNCT__

and yet she wa __PUNCT__ becaus of the help of scholarship and grant __PUNCT__ abl to get her educ and then give me and my sister the best educ in the world __PUNCT__

and i thought about how that couldn't happen probabl in most place around the world __PUNCT__

and then i meet a work coupl somewher and i think about michel parent __PUNCT__

michel dad 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 earli everi morn __PUNCT__ earlier than everybodi els __PUNCT__ to get __PUNCT__ just to get dress __PUNCT__

and he work at a water filtrat plant __PUNCT__ a blue __PUNCT__ collar_job __PUNCT__ and michel mom stai at home until thei were a littl older __PUNCT__ and then she went to work as a secretari __PUNCT__

and thei never had a lot __PUNCT__ and yet becaus of the love and the valu that were in that household __PUNCT__ michel and her brother were abl to get an unbeliev educ and go as far as their dream would take them __PUNCT__

and i hear these same_kind of stori everywher i went __PUNCT__

and it remind me that what make_america so except __PUNCT__ what make us so special __PUNCT__ is thi basic bargain __PUNCT__ thi basic_idea that in thi countri __PUNCT__ no matter what you look like __PUNCT__ no matter where you come from __PUNCT__ no matter what your last name is __PUNCT__ no matter what setback you mai experi __PUNCT__ in thi countri __PUNCT__ if you work_hard __PUNCT__ if you ar will to take respons __PUNCT__ then you can make it __PUNCT__

you can get ahead __PUNCT__

that __PUNCT__ for the overwhelm_major of american __PUNCT__ that effort mean that you can find a job that support a famili __PUNCT__

and it mean that you can mayb get a home that you call your own and you can send your kid to a good school and not go bankrupt when you get sick __PUNCT__ take a vacat onc in a while __PUNCT__ noth fanci __PUNCT__

the __PUNCT__ i wa tell some folk up in ohio about my favorit vacat when i wa a kid wa when i wa __NUM__ drive around the countri and travel around the countri with my mom and my sister and my grandma __PUNCT__

and most of the time we took greyhound buse and stai at howard johnson __PUNCT__

and if there wa ani kind of littl swim_pool anywher __PUNCT__ i wa happi __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ and a big event wa go to the vend_machin and bui a soda and then fill the ic bucket and carri it back __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ that wa a big_deal __PUNCT__

but the point wa you didn't do it __PUNCT__ it wasn't a luxuri __PUNCT__ it wa just the chanc to have a littl adventur with your famili __PUNCT__

and then part of that bargain wa that you could retir with digniti and respect at the end of a life and that you knew that your kid could achiev more than you did __PUNCT__ that their live would offer opportun you couldn't even imagin __PUNCT__

and that bargain __PUNCT__ that idea of who we ar as a peopl __PUNCT__ that what built thi countri __PUNCT__

that what made us into an econom superpow __PUNCT__ thi idea that anybodi could make it __PUNCT__

and be middl_class didn't have anyth to do necessarili with just the monei in your bank_account __PUNCT__ but it had to do with a set of valu and a set of belief about what wa import __PUNCT__

and it those valu that propel me to get into polit in the first place __PUNCT__ becaus i saw the bless in my life and i want to make sure everybodi in thi countri had those same bless __PUNCT__

and when we came togeth in __NUM__ __PUNCT__ democrat __PUNCT__ but also some republican and independ __PUNCT__ it wa becaus we share that belief __PUNCT__ that bargain __PUNCT__ and we had a sens that it wa slip awai from us __PUNCT__

we had gone through a decad where hard_work didn't alwai translat into higher_wage or higher_incom and folk act respons didn't alwai get ahead __PUNCT__

and that wa befor the worst financi_crisi and the worst econom_crisi of our lifetim __PUNCT__ which left million more unemploi __PUNCT__ and it look like thei were go to lose their home __PUNCT__ and struggl that much more to keep up with the rise_cost of health_care or a colleg_educ __PUNCT__

but for the last 3½ year __PUNCT__ i have not forgotten why i got into polit __PUNCT__ and i have not forgotten those valu __PUNCT__

and i haven't forgotten why we came togeth __PUNCT__ becaus we want to put thi countri_back on a track where everybodi had a fair shot and everybodi did their fair_share and everybodi plai by the same set of rule __PUNCT__

and what ha kept me go __PUNCT__ for all the progress we made __PUNCT__ 4½ million new job and half a million new manufactur_job and us stabil the financi_system and avert a great_depress and invest in advanc manufactur __PUNCT__ for all the progress that we made __PUNCT__ what ha get __PUNCT__ kept me go everi singl_dai is rememb that thing that ti us togeth __PUNCT__ that bind us as a peopl __PUNCT__ and understand that no matter what we went through __PUNCT__ no matter how mani time we get knock down __PUNCT__ that basic charact of america doe not chang __PUNCT__

who we ar doe not chang __PUNCT__

what we believ __PUNCT__ the valu we hold dear __PUNCT__ the import we place on hard_work and that work be reward __PUNCT__ whether you ar start a small_busi or punch a clock __PUNCT__ that idea that you can make it if you try here in america __PUNCT__ that what we been fight for __PUNCT__

ye __PUNCT__ we been try to put_peopl back to work __PUNCT__ but our goal ha not been to just get us back to where we were in __NUM__ __PUNCT__

our goal ha been to rebuild an economi that last for everybodi __PUNCT__ for all peopl __PUNCT__

and i am absolut convinc that we ar on that path __PUNCT__

and we ar not go backward __PUNCT__

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

now __PUNCT__ i have to tell you __PUNCT__ there ar some who sai __PUNCT__ well __PUNCT__ thi is part of america fate as it enter into the __NUM___centuri __PUNCT__ that other countri ar rise and we declin __PUNCT__

and i just don't bui that __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

no __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

what hold us back is not __PUNCT__ it not the lack of new idea or big_idea or polici prescript that could make a differ in educ or hous or health_care or you name it __PUNCT__

what been hold us back is a stalem in washington __PUNCT__

and thi is not just about two candid or two polit_parti __PUNCT__

thi is about two fundament differ vision for where we take our countri __PUNCT__

my oppon and hi alli in congress __PUNCT__ thei got a particular view about how you grow the economi __PUNCT__ top __PUNCT__ down econom __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

boo __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

their basic view is that if you take the bush_tax_cut and on top of that you then layer on __MONEY___trillion more of tax_cut __PUNCT__ mostli for the wealthi __PUNCT__ and you elimin regul on pollut or the regul we put in place to prevent anoth meltdown on wall_street or regul to make sure that folk aren't be taken advantag of by unscrupul lender __PUNCT__ that if you just elimin govern_intrus into the market and let folk at the veri top maxim their profit __PUNCT__ that we all do better __PUNCT__ we all be better off __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

boo __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ i mean __PUNCT__ that their theori __PUNCT__

and you know __PUNCT__ it is a theori __PUNCT__

it __PUNCT__ it __PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ and you know __PUNCT__ it would be okai for them to make that argument if we hadn't just spent close to a decad try their theori __PUNCT__ which result in the most sluggish job_growth in decad __PUNCT__ incom and wage for ordinari folk go down __PUNCT__ rise_inequ __PUNCT__ surplus turn into deficit __PUNCT__ culmin in the worst econom_crisi in our lifetim __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ i don't know about how you gui oper in your live __PUNCT__ but my gener_rule is if i do someth and it just realli doesn't work out __PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ then i try to do someth differ the next time __PUNCT__

so i got a differ idea __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

we love you __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

i love you back __PUNCT__

but let me tell you how i think about it __PUNCT__

i believ in middl __PUNCT__ out econom __PUNCT__

i believ in bottom __PUNCT__ up econom __PUNCT__

i believ that when you give everybodi a shot and everybodi is abl to work_hard and look after their famili __PUNCT__ everybodi doe better __PUNCT__ includ __PUNCT__ by the wai __PUNCT__ folk at the top __PUNCT__

small_busi and larg busi __PUNCT__ suddenli thei got custom becaus those custom got some monei in their pocket __PUNCT__

the histori of how we built thi countri wa everybodi have a chanc to pursu their dream and __PUNCT__ togeth __PUNCT__ us build opportun that made us the envi of the world __PUNCT__

and so i don't believ that we should try onc again someth that didn't work __PUNCT__

i think what we need to do is keep pursu a strategi that sai __PUNCT__ let make the invest in the american_peopl that will help us grow __PUNCT__ but will also creat ladder of opportun for everybodi __PUNCT__

so let me be specif __PUNCT__

when my oppon want to __PUNCT__ let detroit go bankrupt __PUNCT__ audienc member __PUNCT__

boo __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ i said __PUNCT__ first of all __PUNCT__ it go to cost us a million_job __PUNCT__

second of all __PUNCT__ i believ in the american_worker __PUNCT__ and i believ in american ingenu __PUNCT__

and so we got manag and worker togeth __PUNCT__ and guess what __PUNCT__ 3½ year later gm is the number __PUNCT__ on automak again __PUNCT__

the auto_industri is roar back __PUNCT__ and thei build better car and more fuel __PUNCT__ effici car than ever __PUNCT__

that an exampl of what america can do when we work togeth __PUNCT__

but it not just the auto industri __PUNCT__

whether we talk about advanc manufactur of batteri that will help us run electr_car __PUNCT__ or wind_turbin __PUNCT__ or solar_panel __PUNCT__ or __PUNCT__ i believ in make_thing here in america __PUNCT__ and i believ in invent thing here in america __PUNCT__

and governor romnei __PUNCT__ hi main call_card for run for offic is hi busi experi __PUNCT__ and so understand __PUNCT__ the american_peopl have been ask __PUNCT__ well __PUNCT__ let find out what you been do __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ and if your main experi is invest in compani that ar call __PUNCT__ pioneer __PUNCT__ of outsourc __PUNCT__ then that indic that we got a differ vision __PUNCT__ becaus i don't want to be a pioneer of outsourc __PUNCT__ i want to be a pioneer of insourc __PUNCT__

i want to 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 austin __PUNCT__ invest right here in the unit_state of america __PUNCT__ bet on american_worker __PUNCT__ make american product that we sell __PUNCT__ stamp with three proud word __PUNCT__ made in america __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

boo __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

he said he wouldn't set a timelin in afghanistan __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

boo __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

i got a differ approach __PUNCT__

and ultim __PUNCT__ you the on who ar go to be abl to settl thi disput __PUNCT__ with your vote __PUNCT__

that what our democraci is all about __PUNCT__

i run again becaus we done some great_work reform our educ_system __PUNCT__ but we got more work to do __PUNCT__

i want to hire outstand new teacher __PUNCT__ especi in math and scienc __PUNCT__

we succeed in prevent student_loan rate from doubl __PUNCT__ but we got more work to do to bring down colleg_tuition cost to make it afford for everi young_person __PUNCT__

i want to expand access to commun_colleg for __NUM___million more american so thei get train for the job that peopl ar hire for right now __PUNCT__

a higher_educ is no longer a luxuri __PUNCT__

it is an econom imper in the __NUM___centuri __PUNCT__

it is part of what we need to succe in thi global_economi __PUNCT__

and i go to fight for everi young_person who is will to work_hard to get an educ __PUNCT__

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

so on issu after issu __PUNCT__ there is a fundament differ __PUNCT__

on hous __PUNCT__ mr __PUNCT__ romnei sai let just let foreclosur happen __PUNCT__ and the market will bottom out __PUNCT__

i want to make sure that everi american who right now own a home can refin their home at histor low_rate __PUNCT__ put __MONEY__ in the pocket of everi american __PUNCT__

not onli will you spend that and creat more custom for busi __PUNCT__ but it can also help stabil the hous_market __PUNCT__

when it come to immigr __PUNCT__ mr __PUNCT__ romnei think that the arizona_law should be __PUNCT__ a model for the nation __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

boo __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

i believ we a nation of law and a nation of immigr __PUNCT__

we work_hard on border_secur __PUNCT__

but i also said that when you got young_peopl in thi countri who have been rais as american __PUNCT__ who believ in america __PUNCT__ then i want to give them a chanc to succe here in america __PUNCT__

it the right thing to do __PUNCT__

i don't want to go back to the dai when fight for the countri you love depend on who you love __PUNCT__

we end __PUNCT__ don't ask __PUNCT__ don't tell __PUNCT__

we not go to go back there __PUNCT__

we not go to roll_back wall_street reform __PUNCT__

we know the cost when you got lax regul __PUNCT__ everybodi is affect __PUNCT__ everybodi pai a price __PUNCT__

and we ar not roll_back health_care_reform __PUNCT__

the suprem_court ha spoken __PUNCT__

we ar move_forward __PUNCT__

if you got health_care __PUNCT__ the onli thing that now happen to you __PUNCT__ you not pai a tax __PUNCT__ the onli thing that happen to you is that you have more secur becaus insur_compani can't jerk you around __PUNCT__

young_peopl can stai on their parent plan until thei __NUM___year old __PUNCT__

senior ar go to see lower prescript_drug drug_price __PUNCT__

everybodi is go to get free prevent_care __PUNCT__ includ women __PUNCT__

and by the wai __PUNCT__ insur_compani can't charg women more than men now __PUNCT__

which remind me __PUNCT__ we not end fund for plan_parenthood __PUNCT__

i think women should have control of their own health_care choic just like men __PUNCT__

we not go backward __PUNCT__

if you don't have health care __PUNCT__ then we go to help you get it __PUNCT__

and the onli peopl who mai have a problem with thi law ar folk who can afford health care __PUNCT__ but aren't bui it __PUNCT__ wait until thei get sick __PUNCT__ and then go to the emerg_room and expect everybodi els to pick up the tab __PUNCT__

that not respons __PUNCT__

that not consist with who we ar __PUNCT__

so we go to move_forward on health_care __PUNCT__ and __PUNCT__ which bring me to on last issu __PUNCT__ thi whole issu of deficit and debt __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ the other side sai __PUNCT__ thi is the most import_issu __PUNCT__ we concern for futur_gener __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ if you ar truli concern about deficit and debt __PUNCT__ it puzzl that you would then propos a __MONEY___trillion tax_cut that would give the averag millionair a __MONEY__ tax_break __PUNCT__ and to pai for it you would then have to gut educ __PUNCT__ gut invest in scienc and research __PUNCT__ gut our transport spend __PUNCT__ voucher medicar __PUNCT__ oh __PUNCT__ and in the process __PUNCT__ eventu __PUNCT__ you probabl go to have to rais_tax on middl_class class_famili __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

no __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ we alreadi cut a trillion_dollar __PUNCT__

and i don't believ everi govern_program work __PUNCT__

i don't believ that govern can help folk who don't want to help themselv __PUNCT__

so we got to continu to make govern more effici and more effect and more custom __PUNCT__ friendli __PUNCT__ but we not go to turn_back the clock to the dai when senior had to fend for themselv __PUNCT__ where poor_children ar on their own __PUNCT__ where we not make invest in educ and fall further and further behind other countri __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

no __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

so what i said is let ask folk like me __PUNCT__ who have been incred bless by thi countri __PUNCT__ to do a littl bit more __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

ye __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

what i said is __PUNCT__ i told_congress last week __PUNCT__ let go ahead and sai everybodi who make___MONEY__ a year or less __PUNCT__ your incom_tax will not go up on dime __PUNCT__ period __PUNCT__

that includ___NUM__ percent of american __PUNCT__ __NUM__ percent of small_busi __PUNCT__

but for folk like me __PUNCT__ we can afford to do a littl bit more to make sure we ar invest in america_futur __PUNCT__

and by the wai __PUNCT__ we tri that too __PUNCT__ austin __PUNCT__

a gui name bill_clinton tri it __PUNCT__ and we took deficit and turn them into surplus __PUNCT__ creat___NUM__ __NUM___million new job __PUNCT__

and by the wai __PUNCT__ wealthi peopl did realli well also __PUNCT__ becaus __PUNCT__ again __PUNCT__ if folk in the middl_class ar do well __PUNCT__ everybodi doe well __PUNCT__

it that basic_principl __PUNCT__

abraham_lincoln said that there ar some thing we do better togeth __PUNCT__

we ar entrepreneur __PUNCT__ we ar risk taker __PUNCT__ we rug individualist __PUNCT__ but there ar some thing we do better togeth __PUNCT__

that how we financ the gi_bill that creat the largest middl_class in histori __PUNCT__

that how we built the hoover dam and the golden gate bridg __PUNCT__

that how we sent a man to the moon __PUNCT__

that how the internet came to happen __PUNCT__ becaus we recogn there ar some thing we do well togeth and we rise or fall as on nation __PUNCT__ as on peopl __PUNCT__

and so here the good new __PUNCT__ is that in thi elect __PUNCT__ you will have an opportun to choos between these two vision __PUNCT__ and that the wai democraci should work __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ i will sai that there go to be about __PUNCT__ well __PUNCT__ we __PUNCT__ who know how much monei is go to be spent __PUNCT__ we got folk write __MONEY___million check __PUNCT__ audienc member __PUNCT__

boo __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ run neg_ad with scari voic __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ and it basic the same messag everi time __PUNCT__

you know __PUNCT__ thei got variat on a theme __PUNCT__ but basic __PUNCT__ these folk know thei can't sell those tire econom_theori that didn't work last time __PUNCT__

so what thei go to do is just to sai __PUNCT__ the economi is not where it need to be __PUNCT__ and it obama fault __PUNCT__

i mean __PUNCT__ that what thei sai over and over again __PUNCT__ and thei just keep repeat it __PUNCT__ and thei hope it work __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ thi is a plan to win an elect __PUNCT__ but it not a plan to creat_job __PUNCT__

it not a plan to grow the middl_class __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

no __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

and i got to sai __PUNCT__ i be pretti concern about it except for what you taught me __PUNCT__

what you taught me in __PUNCT__ __NUM__ __PUNCT__ what i learn in those earli campaign travel around the state and go to vfw hall and diner and sit in peopl_live live_room __PUNCT__ listen to their stori __PUNCT__ what you taught me wa that when the american_peopl focu and recogn the stake __PUNCT__ and when thei think back to the valu that propel their parent and their grandpar and their great __PUNCT__ grandpar forward in the face of veri difficult_time __PUNCT__ those folk __PUNCT__ those gener who came here __PUNCT__ some as immigr __PUNCT__ some not of their own accord __PUNCT__ work in farm or ranch or factori or mill or mine __PUNCT__ when the american_peopl tap into what is true and good __PUNCT__ that grit and determin and just neighborli that built thi countri __PUNCT__ you gui can't be stop __PUNCT__

it doesn't matter how much monei the other side spend __PUNCT__ you can't be stop __PUNCT__

and so the question go to be __PUNCT__ how bad do we want it __PUNCT__ how bad ar we will to work for it __PUNCT__ the __PUNCT__ how commit ar we to make sure that our kid get a great educ __PUNCT__ how commit ar we to make sure that social_secur and medicar ar there for folk in the futur __PUNCT__ how commit ar we to make sure that our veteran __PUNCT__ who have serv us valiantli __PUNCT__ that we serv them as well as thei serv us __PUNCT__ how commit ar we to bring down our deficit in a balanc wai __PUNCT__ how commit ar we to continu to invest in scienc and research __PUNCT__ how commit ar we to that basic american bargain that sai if you work_hard __PUNCT__ you can get ahead __PUNCT__ in __NUM__ i tri to just make promis that i could keep __PUNCT__

and on of those promis __PUNCT__ i said to you __PUNCT__ i not a perfect man and i __PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ i promis __PUNCT__ talk to michel now __PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ not a perfect man __PUNCT__

i said i wouldn't be a perfect presid __PUNCT__

but what i said wa that i would alwai tell you where i stood __PUNCT__ i alwai tell you what i thought __PUNCT__ and i would spend everi singl wake hour __PUNCT__ as long as i had the privileg of be your presid __PUNCT__ fight for you __PUNCT__ think about you __PUNCT__

becaus in you __PUNCT__ i saw me __PUNCT__

in you __PUNCT__ i saw my famili __PUNCT__

if i __PUNCT__ in your grandpar __PUNCT__ i saw my grandpar __PUNCT__

in your kid __PUNCT__ i see my kid __PUNCT__

becaus of you __PUNCT__ becaus of my faith in you __PUNCT__ through all the up and down __PUNCT__ i can sai i have kept that promis __PUNCT__

and if you still believ in me __PUNCT__ if you will to stand up with me __PUNCT__ if you will to knock on door for me and make phone_call for me and talk to your friend and neighbor for me and mobil and organ __PUNCT__ then we will finish what we start in __NUM__ __PUNCT__

and we will build thi middl_class and grow thi economi so it work for everybodi __PUNCT__

and we will remind the world why the unit_state of america is the greatest nation on earth __PUNCT__
