__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ and sinc it my last campaign __PUNCT__ it got me think about my first polit_campaign __PUNCT__ earli on __PUNCT__ back when i had no grai hair __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ and when i wa run for the state_senat or i wa run for the unit_state state_senat in illinoi __PUNCT__ illinoi is a big state like florida __PUNCT__ and we have to travel across the state __PUNCT__ and i didn't have air_forc on back then __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ no marin on __PUNCT__

so i didn't even have gp __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ so i be drive __PUNCT__ mayb i have on staff person in the car __PUNCT__

and sinc we didn't have mapquest __PUNCT__ i had to have a map __PUNCT__ and i fold it __PUNCT__ and then __PUNCT__ i try to unfold it and fold it back the wai it wa __PUNCT__ and i get it all mess up __PUNCT__

and i get lost __PUNCT__ and then __PUNCT__ onc i got to an event __PUNCT__ i have to find park __PUNCT__ and sometim __PUNCT__ i couldn't find a park spot __PUNCT__ or i get rain on __PUNCT__

but i have such fond memori of those earli campaign becaus __PUNCT__ no matter where i went __PUNCT__ no matter what commun __PUNCT__ inner __PUNCT__ citi __PUNCT__ rural town __PUNCT__ meet with black_folk __PUNCT__ white_folk __PUNCT__ latino __PUNCT__ asian __PUNCT__ nativ_american __PUNCT__ didn't matter what background peopl came from __PUNCT__ no matter how much thei look differ on the surfac __PUNCT__ there wa a common thread to all the stori that i heard as i travel around the state __PUNCT__

i meet an elderli coupl __PUNCT__ and thei remind me of my grandpar __PUNCT__

i think about my grandfath who fought in patton armi in world_war_ii __PUNCT__ my grandmoth work on a bomber assembl_line while he wa gone __PUNCT__

and when he came back __PUNCT__ he wa reward with a chanc to go to colleg on the gi_bill __PUNCT__

thei were abl to bui their first home with an fha loan __PUNCT__

and i think about the journei that thei had travel and everyth that that greatest_gener had done to build america __PUNCT__

or i meet a middl_class coupl __PUNCT__ and i think about michel parent __PUNCT__ especi her dad __PUNCT__ who had multipl sclerosi __PUNCT__ so by the time i met him __PUNCT__ he could bare walk __PUNCT__ had to us two cane __PUNCT__ had to wake up an hour earlier than everybodi els to get to work becaus that how long it took to get him dress __PUNCT__ but would not miss a dai of work __PUNCT__

and i think about michel mom __PUNCT__ who end up work as a secretari for most of her life and how __PUNCT__ despit the fact that thei never had a lot __PUNCT__ thei were abl to give michel and michel brother the best educ possibl __PUNCT__ and how remark that wa __PUNCT__ thi countri that we live in __PUNCT__

and then i meet a singl_mom and i think about my own mother __PUNCT__ who rais my sister and me __PUNCT__ with the help of my grandpar __PUNCT__ becaus my dad left when i wa a babi __PUNCT__

and my mom didn't have a lot of monei __PUNCT__ but she work_hard and she went to school at the same_time so that she could give her two children the best educ possibl and thei could travel on a path that she couldn't have even imagin __PUNCT__

so the peopl i met in that first campaign and everi campaign sinc __PUNCT__ thei had all kind of differ stori __PUNCT__ all kind of differ background __PUNCT__ thei were young and old and everi race and everi faith __PUNCT__ gai __PUNCT__ straight __PUNCT__ democrat __PUNCT__ republican __PUNCT__ independ __PUNCT__ but all of them share the belief in that core american_experi __PUNCT__ that basic_idea __PUNCT__ that core bargain that make us the shine exampl for the world __PUNCT__ the idea that no matter where you come from __PUNCT__ no matter who you ar __PUNCT__ no matter what you look like __PUNCT__ america is a place where you can make it if you try __PUNCT__

as american __PUNCT__ we don't expect handout __PUNCT__ but we expect hard_work to pai off __PUNCT__

we understand there will be setback __PUNCT__ but we also know that respons should be reward __PUNCT__

we believ that if you put enough effort into it __PUNCT__ enough elbow greas into it __PUNCT__ you should be abl to find a job that pai the bill __PUNCT__ you should be abl to have a home that you call your own __PUNCT__ health_care that you can count on if you get sick __PUNCT__

you should be abl to retir with digniti and respect __PUNCT__

you should be abl to provid your children with an educ that give them an even better shot than you had __PUNCT__

that what we believ __PUNCT__

jacksonvil __PUNCT__ we ar here todai becaus we recogn that thi basic bargain __PUNCT__ thi essenc of who we ar as a peopl __PUNCT__ thi simpl american_dream is at risk like never befor __PUNCT__

for more than a decad __PUNCT__ it had been slip awai from too mani hard __PUNCT__ work_peopl __PUNCT__

job and factori were ship oversea __PUNCT__

folk at the top were do better than ever befor __PUNCT__ but middl_class class_famili saw their paycheck get smaller even as their bill got bigger __PUNCT__

in washington __PUNCT__ the trillion that were spent on two war and two tax_cut took us from record surplus to record deficit __PUNCT__

and on wall_street __PUNCT__ a cultur of anyth goe led to the worst econom_crisi and financi_crisi sinc the great_depress __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ ever sinc i first ran for thi offic __PUNCT__ i said it go to take more than __NUM___year or on term or mayb even on presid to restor the dream that built thi countri __PUNCT__

and the financi_crisi and econom_crisi made our job that much harder __PUNCT__

but i don't get discourag __PUNCT__ becaus the cynic who sai that our best dai ar behind us __PUNCT__ thei haven't wit the everydai courag and the essenti charact of the american_peopl __PUNCT__

thei haven't met the small_busi busi_owner in minnesota who chose to sacrific some of their own perk __PUNCT__ some of their own pai __PUNCT__ to avoid lai off a singl worker dure that recess __PUNCT__

thei haven't been to the auto_compani in michigan and ohio that were never suppos to build anoth car again __PUNCT__ but now thei can't build them fast enough __PUNCT__

thei haven't talk to the __NUM__ __PUNCT__ year __PUNCT__ old factori_worker from north_carolina who decid that when the furnitur industri left town she get her degre in biotechnolog from the local_commun commun_colleg __PUNCT__ not just becaus she hope it get her a job __PUNCT__ but becaus she hope it tell her children __PUNCT__ you don't give up on your dream __PUNCT__

that the charact i seen in the american_peopl __PUNCT__

that who we ar __PUNCT__

there ar no easi fix __PUNCT__ no quick solut to the challeng we face __PUNCT__ but there is no doubt in my mind that we have the capac to meet them and we will meet them __PUNCT__

we got the best worker in the world and the best entrepreneur in the world and the best scientist in the world and the best research and the best colleg and the best univers __PUNCT__

we a young nation with the greatest divers and talent and ingenu from everi corner of the globe __PUNCT__

and florida know someth about that __PUNCT__

no matter what the naysay tell us __PUNCT__ there is not a countri on earth that would not happili trade place with the unit_state of america __PUNCT__

so the problem __PUNCT__ what stand in our wai is not technic solut to the problem of hous or educ or deal with the debt __PUNCT__

we know how to deal with it __PUNCT__

what stand in our wai is our polit __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

thi countri wa built from the middl_class out __PUNCT__

it wa built from the bottom up __PUNCT__

that how we becam the most prosper nation in the histori of the world __PUNCT__

that the path you can choos for america in thi elect __PUNCT__

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

so if that voucher isn't worth enough to bui the health_insur that on the market __PUNCT__ you out of luck __PUNCT__

you on your own __PUNCT__

on independ nonpartisan studi_found that senior would have to pai nearli __MONEY__ more for medicar than thei do todai __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

boo __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ florida __PUNCT__ that the wrong wai to go __PUNCT__

it wrong to ask senior to pai more for medicar just so millionair and billionair can pai less in tax __PUNCT__

that not the wai to reduc the deficit __PUNCT__

we shouldn't be squeez more monei out of senior who ar just bare get by right now __PUNCT__

my plan is to squeez more monei out of the health_care_system by elimin wast and go after abus and fraud in medicar __PUNCT__

we can cut_back govern_spend that we can't afford __PUNCT__ but i will also ask anybodi who is make over __MONEY__ a year to just go back to the rate thei were pai under bill_clinton __PUNCT__ becaus __PUNCT__ by the wai __PUNCT__ that work __PUNCT__

nearli __NUM___million new job were creat __PUNCT__ the largest budget surplu in our histori __PUNCT__

and when we were do it that wai __PUNCT__ where the burden wa share __PUNCT__ actual __PUNCT__ millionair did realli well __PUNCT__

that the choic we have in thi elect __PUNCT__

that why i run for a second term as presid __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

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

there is such a contrast in approach __PUNCT__ two fundament differ vision that you go to have to choos from in thi elect __PUNCT__

when the american auto_industri wa on the brink of collaps __PUNCT__ more than __NUM___million_job on the line __PUNCT__ governor romnei said let __PUNCT__ let detroit go bankrupt __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

no __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

i refus to turn my back on a great industri and on american_worker __PUNCT__

i bet on american worker __PUNCT__

i bet on american_manufactur __PUNCT__

and __NUM___year later __PUNCT__ the american auto_industri ha come roar back __PUNCT__

so i want to make sure that the high __PUNCT__ tech manufactur_job of tomorrow __PUNCT__ not just in the auto_industri __PUNCT__ but in everi industri __PUNCT__ that those advanc manufactur_job ar take root not in china __PUNCT__ not in germani __PUNCT__ but in jacksonvil and in cleveland and in raleigh and in richmond __PUNCT__

governor romnei experi ha been own compani that were call __PUNCT__ pioneer __PUNCT__ in the busi of outsourc __PUNCT__ want to give tax_break to compani that ship job_oversea __PUNCT__

i want to give tax_break to compani that ar invest here in the unit_state __PUNCT__ reward compani that ar invest here and hire american_worker __PUNCT__ so we can sell product around the world stamp with three proud word __PUNCT__ made in america __PUNCT__

that why i run __PUNCT__

i run becaus in __NUM__ i promis to end the war in iraq __PUNCT__ and thank to our outstand men and women in uniform __PUNCT__ we kept that promis __PUNCT__

it time to do some nation __PUNCT__ build here at home __PUNCT__

america is safer and more respect becaus of the selfless of our troop __PUNCT__

so not onli did we end the war in iraq __PUNCT__ we been abl to go after al qaida and get bin_laden __PUNCT__

we have set a timelin to end the war in afghanistan __PUNCT__

and as long as i command in chief __PUNCT__ thi countri will care for our veteran and serv our veteran as well as thei serv us __PUNCT__

nobodi who fight for thi countri should have to fight for a job or a roof over their head when thei come home __PUNCT__

so my plan would take about half the monei that we no longer spend on war and us that to pai down the deficit __PUNCT__ us the other half to put_peopl back to work rebuild our road __PUNCT__ our bridg __PUNCT__ our runwai __PUNCT__ our port __PUNCT__ wireless network __PUNCT__

i want to creat a veteran job corp __PUNCT__ so we can put our return hero back to work as cop and firefight in commun that need them __PUNCT__

in the __NUM___centuri __PUNCT__ higher_educ isn't a luxuri __PUNCT__ it a necess that everi american should be abl to afford __PUNCT__

on everi measur __PUNCT__ there a differ in thi elect __PUNCT__

my oppon ha a plan to help respons homeown by let the hous_market hit bottom __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

and now i want to give everybodi the chanc to refin and save___MONEY__ a year __PUNCT__

that a plan for hous __PUNCT__

that the choic in thi elect __PUNCT__

i run becaus i believ nobodi in america should go broke just becaus thei get sick __PUNCT__

and becaus we pass the health_care law __PUNCT__ we ar go to realiz that goal __PUNCT__

the suprem_court ha spoken __PUNCT__

we ar move_forward __PUNCT__

we ar go to help peopl who ar work_hard to make sure that just becaus thei have an ill in their famili __PUNCT__ thei don't lose everyth __PUNCT__

and by the wai __PUNCT__ if you alreadi got health_insur __PUNCT__ thi just give you the guarante and secur when you deal with your insur_compani that thei won't jerk you around becaus of the fine_print __PUNCT__

and it let your young __PUNCT__ it let young_peopl stai on their parent plan until thei __NUM___year old __PUNCT__

we need to move_forward __PUNCT__ not backward __PUNCT__

just like we not go to refight the issu of whether you can serv the countri you love just __PUNCT__ depend on who you love __PUNCT__

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

it wa the right thing to do __PUNCT__

we not go back and have that fight __PUNCT__

we need to move forward __PUNCT__

we need to make sure that women have control over their own health_care decis __PUNCT__

we not go backward __PUNCT__

all these issu connect __PUNCT__

whether it bring manufactur and construct job_back __PUNCT__ or protect your health_care __PUNCT__ or make sure our kid ar get the best educ __PUNCT__ make sure our veteran ar get the care that thei have earn __PUNCT__ all these thing make up a middl_class class_life __PUNCT__

thei all central to the idea that made thi countri great __PUNCT__ that promis that if you work_hard __PUNCT__ you can get ahead __PUNCT__

it the same promis our parent and grandpar pass down to all of us __PUNCT__ the promis we have to pass down to our kid and our grandkid __PUNCT__ the idea that we work hard __PUNCT__ that everybodi ha got to take respons __PUNCT__ that govern can't solv everi problem and it certainli can't solv_problem if you don't want to help yourself __PUNCT__

but we also know there ar some thing we do better togeth __PUNCT__ that we rise or fall as on nation and as on peopl __PUNCT__

over the cours of the next __NUM___month __PUNCT__ the other side will spend more monei than we have ever seen in our lifetim on ad that tell you the same_thing you been hear for month __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ i guess that a plan to win an elect __PUNCT__ but thei can't hide the fact that it not a plan to creat_job __PUNCT__

it not a plan to grow the economi __PUNCT__

so thei don't have a plan to reviv the middl_class __PUNCT__

everyth thei propos we tri for a decad __PUNCT__ and it didn't work __PUNCT__

so thei don't have a plan __PUNCT__ and i do __PUNCT__

and __PUNCT__ florida __PUNCT__ i been outspent befor __PUNCT__ and i been count out befor __PUNCT__ but through everi campaign __PUNCT__ what ha alwai given me hope is the american_peopl __PUNCT__

you have the abil to cut through all that nonsens __PUNCT__

what give me hope is that you rememb the stori of famili just like mine __PUNCT__ all the struggl of parent and great __PUNCT__ grandpar __PUNCT__ and some folk come here as immigr __PUNCT__ some brought here in chain __PUNCT__ some work on the farm __PUNCT__ some work in the mine or on the mill __PUNCT__ thei didn't know what to expect __PUNCT__ but thei understood that there wa someth differ about thi countri __PUNCT__

thei knew that thi wa a countri where thing might not be perfect __PUNCT__ but work togeth __PUNCT__ we could perfect our union __PUNCT__ where peopl were free to pursu their own individu dream __PUNCT__ but still come togeth as neighbor __PUNCT__ as friend __PUNCT__ as on american_famili __PUNCT__

thei knew that be middl_class wasn't about how much you had in your bank_account __PUNCT__ it wa about the secur of know you could take care of your famili and give your kid the chanc to pursu the life that thei dream of and the chanc to give someth back to thi countri that gave you so much __PUNCT__

and when we tap into that spirit __PUNCT__ when we push asid all the talk and all the polit and get down to that core of what it mean to be american __PUNCT__ all that monei doesn't matter __PUNCT__

all those neg_ad don't matter __PUNCT__
