in some wai __PUNCT__ thi is even more import an elect than __NUM__ becaus thi choic could not be bigger __PUNCT__

it not just a choic between two candid __PUNCT__

it not just a choic between two polit_parti __PUNCT__

it is a choic between two fundament differ vision of how america becam great and how it go to stai great __PUNCT__ two fundament differ vision of the path we need to take for the futur of our kid and our grandkid __PUNCT__

and the direct that you choos when you walk into the vote_booth in __DATE__ __PUNCT__ it go to determin not just our live next year or __NUM___year from now __PUNCT__

it go to determin the futur for decad to come for our kid and our grandchildren __PUNCT__

four year_ago __PUNCT__ when we came togeth __PUNCT__ and it wasn't just democrat __PUNCT__ by the wai __PUNCT__ we had independ __PUNCT__ and we had some republican __PUNCT__ we came togeth becaus a lot of us realiz that the core idea __PUNCT__ the basic bargain that made thi countri wa under threat __PUNCT__

and it a basic bargain that sai if you work_hard in thi countri __PUNCT__ you can get ahead __PUNCT__ that if you take respons __PUNCT__ then you can make it __PUNCT__ that you can get into the middl_class __PUNCT__ you can feel a sens of secur __PUNCT__ that you can find a job that pai the bill and have a home you call your own __PUNCT__ that you won't go bankrupt when you get sick __PUNCT__ that you can retir with digniti and respect __PUNCT__ and most importantli __PUNCT__ that you can give your kid a great educ and thei can do even better and dream even bigger than you ever imagin __PUNCT__

that the american promis __PUNCT__

that the american_dream __PUNCT__

that what we been fight for __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ we knew restor that basic_idea wouldn't be easi __PUNCT__ becaus we had just gone through a decad in which that bargain __PUNCT__ that promis wasn't be kept __PUNCT__

job had gotten ship oversea __PUNCT__

peopl were work_harder but make less __PUNCT__ while the cost of everyth from health_care to colleg wa go up __PUNCT__

we fought two war on a credit_card __PUNCT__ ad enorm to our debt __PUNCT__

and all thi culmin then in the worst financi_crisi sinc the great_depress __PUNCT__

and so we knew thi wasn't go to be easi __PUNCT__

and when the crisi hit in __NUM__ and __NUM___million of peopl all across thi countri __PUNCT__ some of our friend and neighbor and famili_member __PUNCT__ lost their job __PUNCT__ lost their home __PUNCT__ lost their save __PUNCT__

and that made the american_dream even a littl bit further out of reach __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ i told you when i ran the first time that thi wa not go to be easi __PUNCT__ restor that bargain __PUNCT__ that there weren't ani quick fix to our solut __PUNCT__

but what i also insist __PUNCT__ and what i still believ __PUNCT__ is we got everyth we need to solv these challeng __PUNCT__

we have everyth we need right here in america to make the middl_class strong again __PUNCT__

we got the best worker in the world __PUNCT__

we got the best entrepreneur in the world __PUNCT__

everybodi know we got the best farm in the world __PUNCT__

we got the best scientist __PUNCT__ the best research __PUNCT__

we got the best univers __PUNCT__

we got the best colleg __PUNCT__

we ar a young nation still __PUNCT__ partli becaus we still a magnet for talent from all around the world __PUNCT__

we got the greatest divers of talent and ingenu of ani other countri __PUNCT__

and so even though there ar some peopl who like to talk about american declin or thei try to paint thing as dark as possibl __PUNCT__ especi dure elect season __PUNCT__ there is no doubt in my mind that there not anoth countri on earth that wouldn't gladli trade place with us __PUNCT__

we got everyth we need to succe __PUNCT__

and most of all __PUNCT__ what we got is the american_charact __PUNCT__

i seen it over the last 3½ year __PUNCT__

i see it in folk who lose their job at the ag of __NUM__ or __NUM__ and thei go back to a commun_colleg __PUNCT__ studi hard __PUNCT__ sit next to __NUM__ __PUNCT__ year __PUNCT__ old __PUNCT__ and retrain __PUNCT__ and suddenli __PUNCT__ thei go back __PUNCT__ and thei get a job in a new industri __PUNCT__

or the small __PUNCT__ busi_owner who could bare keep their door_open but decid __PUNCT__ you know what __PUNCT__ i not go to take a salari __PUNCT__ i not go to take ani pai __PUNCT__ becaus i want to make sure my worker ar taken care of becaus thei got famili to support __PUNCT__

all across america __PUNCT__ it turn out american ar tougher than ani tough_time __PUNCT__

we ar resili __PUNCT__ and we work_hard __PUNCT__ and we mai get knock down but we alwai get back up __PUNCT__

that ha been the charact of america __PUNCT__ and that charact ha not chang __PUNCT__

and it becaus of that charact that over the last 3½ year we made some progress __PUNCT__

we not all the wai back to where we need to be __PUNCT__ but we creat 4½ million new job __PUNCT__ half a million new job in manufactur __PUNCT__

we have seen small_busi start to open back up __PUNCT__

we seen worker get retrain and get rehir __PUNCT__

and so we made progress __PUNCT__

but our goal in __NUM__ wasn't just get back to where we were befor the crisi __PUNCT__

our goal wa to make sure that we built an economi that last __PUNCT__ where we built an economi where middl_class folk and folk aspir to the middl class can succe __PUNCT__

that ha been our goal __PUNCT__

that what we still fight for __PUNCT__

we ar not yet done __PUNCT__ and that why i run for a second term as presid of the unit_state of america __PUNCT__ becaus we got more work to do __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ i said we got everyth we need to solv our problem __PUNCT__

the main impedi we got __PUNCT__ the main roadblock we got is polit in washington __PUNCT__

you got anoth parti that think compromis is a dirti word and that believ the onli wai we can move_forward is to go back to the same top __PUNCT__ down econom that got us into thi mess in the first place __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

yeah __PUNCT__

you right __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ you mai have heard that governor romnei just chose hi run_mate __PUNCT__ congressman ryan __PUNCT__ and __PUNCT__ audienc member __PUNCT__

boo __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

he a good_man __PUNCT__ he a famili_man __PUNCT__

he the ideolog leader of the republican in congress __PUNCT__ and he an articul spokesperson for governor romnei view __PUNCT__

the problem is those view ar wrong __PUNCT__

i fundament disagre with their vision for america __PUNCT__

their basic prescript for america is to get rid of more regul on big_bank and big_corpor __PUNCT__ give more tax_break to the veri wealthiest american __PUNCT__ and their belief is somehow that prosper then will trickl down on everybodi els __PUNCT__

that their view __PUNCT__

look __PUNCT__ the centerpiec of governor romnei entir econom_plan __PUNCT__ the centerpiec of it __PUNCT__ hi main idea __PUNCT__ hi on big_idea __PUNCT__ is to give anoth __MONEY___trillion tax_cut on top of the bush_tax_cut that he keep in __PUNCT__ he want to keep in place __PUNCT__

five trillion_dollar __PUNCT__

to give you some sens of perspect __PUNCT__ our entir defens_budget is about half a trillion_dollar a year __PUNCT__

so thi tax_cut would be the equival of what we spend on the nation_defens everi singl year for the next __NUM___year __PUNCT__ __MONEY___trillion __PUNCT__

last week __PUNCT__ we found out that he expect you to pai the tab __PUNCT__

governor romnei tax_plan would actual rais_tax on middl_class class_famili with children by an averag of __MONEY__ to pai for thi big tax_break that go mostli to the wealthiest folk __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

boo __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

understand __PUNCT__ thi is not ask you to pai more tax to reduc our deficit or to help kid get an educ or to rebuild some road and bridg and port around the countri __PUNCT__

thi is ask you to pai more to give an averag __MONEY__ tax break to folk make___MONEY__ __MONEY___million a year or more __PUNCT__

that is hi big_idea __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ thei have tri to sell thi kind of trickl __PUNCT__ down fairi dust befor __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ and frankli __PUNCT__ thei tri it as recent as __NUM__ __PUNCT__

and what did we get __PUNCT__ the most sluggish job_growth in gener __PUNCT__ incom and wage go down __PUNCT__ job go oversea __PUNCT__ and a huge econom_crisi __PUNCT__

and __PUNCT__ by the wai __PUNCT__ the deficit kept on go up __PUNCT__ so by the time i walk into offic __PUNCT__ we had a trillion __PUNCT__ dollar deficit __PUNCT__

why would we want to try that again __PUNCT__ i don't know about you __PUNCT__ but my gener_rule is __PUNCT__ if i do someth and it doesn't work __PUNCT__ and then i do it again and it doesn't work again __PUNCT__ i stop do it __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ i stop do it __PUNCT__

i try someth els __PUNCT__

so thei don't have a plan to cut the deficit __PUNCT__

thei don't have a plan to creat_job __PUNCT__

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

we don't need more tax_cut for folk like me __PUNCT__ folk who ar do fine __PUNCT__

we need tax_relief for work_american __PUNCT__

so when i came into offic __PUNCT__ i had promis you that i would cut_tax for middl_class class_american __PUNCT__

and guess what __PUNCT__ i kept that promis __PUNCT__

the republican like to call democrat the big tax __PUNCT__ and __PUNCT__ spend folk __PUNCT__ but it turn out that your tax_rate ar lower by about __MONEY__ for the typic famili than thei were when i came into offic becaus i kept my promis __PUNCT__

so now what i want to do is to keep your incom_tax tax_rate exactli where thei ar __PUNCT__

i don't want your tax go up for the first __MONEY__ of incom that you make __PUNCT__ which __PUNCT__ by the wai __PUNCT__ cover about __NUM__ percent of all american and __NUM__ percent of all small_busi __PUNCT__

your tax __PUNCT__ your incom_tax would not go up on singl dime next year if congress doe what i ask them to do __PUNCT__

what i have said is __PUNCT__ for those who ar fortun enough to be in the other __NUM__ percent __PUNCT__ you still get a tax_cut for the first __MONEY__ you make __PUNCT__ but after that we ask you to pai a littl bit more to help pai down the deficit and help to invest in make colleg afford for young_peopl and make sure that we got teacher on the job and make sure that we invest in scienc to help cure cancer and alzheim __PUNCT__

that is how __PUNCT__ that how our economi can grow __PUNCT__

that how our economi will grow __PUNCT__

we go to make sure govern doe it part __PUNCT__

a lot of peopl don't realiz we alreadi cut a trillion_dollar of govern_spend to lower our deficit __PUNCT__ a trillion_dollar __PUNCT__

and we can do more __PUNCT__

i think govern ha to make sure that it good steward for your taxpay_dollar __PUNCT__ that it not be wast __PUNCT__

and there still more wast that we can get out of there __PUNCT__

but we can't close the deficit and invest in our futur just by cut_tax for the wealthiest american __PUNCT__ cut educ __PUNCT__ cut the thing that help us grow __PUNCT__

and by the wai __PUNCT__ the propos that i put_forward that sai folk like me and governor romnei have to pai a littl bit more __PUNCT__ we actual have tri that __PUNCT__ too __PUNCT__

we tri it under bill_clinton __PUNCT__ when we creat___NUM__ __NUM___million new job __PUNCT__ the biggest budget surplu in histori __PUNCT__

and guess what __PUNCT__ folk at the top __PUNCT__ thei did good too __PUNCT__

and the reason is __PUNCT__ when you give a famili farmer or you give a construct_worker or you give a receptionist or you give a nurs or a teacher a littl bit more monei in their pocket __PUNCT__ what do thei do __PUNCT__ audienc member __PUNCT__

spend it __PUNCT__

the presid __PUNCT__

thei spend it __PUNCT__

mayb thei final trade in that __NUM__ __PUNCT__ year __PUNCT__ old car and get a new car __PUNCT__

mayb thei get a new applianc becaus the dishwash __PUNCT__ or the wash_machin broken __PUNCT__

mayb thei bui a new comput for their kid who ar about to go to colleg __PUNCT__

mayb thei go to a restaur or __PUNCT__ heaven forbid __PUNCT__ take a vacat onc in a while __PUNCT__

and what that mean is then busi have more custom and busi hire more worker and everybodi doe better __PUNCT__

you get what call a virtuou cycl of everybodi feel more confid about the economi becaus everybodi ha got a stake in the economi __PUNCT__

see __PUNCT__ i don't believ in an economi from the top down __PUNCT__ i believ that the economi_grow from the middl_class out and from the bottom up __PUNCT__

and when everybodi is do well and everybodi got a fair shot __PUNCT__ everybodi end up do better __PUNCT__

that how we grow thi economi __PUNCT__

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

so there __PUNCT__ there ar differ in thi elect on almost everi issu __PUNCT__

when the automak were on the brink of collaps __PUNCT__ governor romnei said __PUNCT__ let detroit go bankrupt __PUNCT__

i said __PUNCT__ let bet on american_worker __PUNCT__

and 3½ year later __PUNCT__ the auto_industri ha come roar back __PUNCT__

so now i want to make sure that american_manufactur __PUNCT__ advanc high __PUNCT__ tech manufactur __PUNCT__ is take root right here in america __PUNCT__ not in china __PUNCT__ not in germani __PUNCT__ right here in iowa __PUNCT__ right here in oskaloosa __PUNCT__ right here in the unit_state of america __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

oskaloosa __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

you know __PUNCT__ governor romnei __PUNCT__ he like to brag about hi privat_sector experi __PUNCT__

hi main privat sector experi __PUNCT__ he did make a lot of monei __PUNCT__ wa invest in compani __PUNCT__ some of which were call __PUNCT__ pioneer __PUNCT__ of outsourc __PUNCT__

i don't want a pioneer of outsourc __PUNCT__

i want somebodi who is fight for insourc __PUNCT__

i want to bring busi back to america __PUNCT__

i want to stop give tax_break to compani that ar ship job_oversea __PUNCT__

let give them to compani that ar invest right here in iowa and right here in the unit_state of america __PUNCT__ hire american_worker __PUNCT__ make american product that we sell around the world stamp with three proud word __PUNCT__ made in america __PUNCT__

that what i believ in __PUNCT__

that why i run __PUNCT__

let me give you anoth exampl __PUNCT__

we at a moment right now when homegrown energi __PUNCT__ like wind_energi __PUNCT__ is creat new job all across iowa and all across the countri __PUNCT__

and guess what __PUNCT__ governor romnei said let end the tax_credit for wind_energi energi_product __PUNCT__

let get rid of them __PUNCT__

he said that new sourc of energi like wind ar __PUNCT__ imaginari __PUNCT__

hi run_mate call them a __PUNCT__ fad __PUNCT__

dure a speech a few month_ago __PUNCT__ governor romnei even explain hi energi_polici thi wai __PUNCT__ i quot here __PUNCT__ you can't drive a car with a windmil on it __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ that what he said about wind_power __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ you can't drive a car with a windmil on it __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ i don't know if he actual tri that __PUNCT__

i know he had other thing on hi car __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ but if he want to learn someth about wind __PUNCT__ all he got to do is pai_attent to what you been do here in iowa __PUNCT__

if he saw what you been do __PUNCT__ he see that there ar place like newton __PUNCT__ where a few year_ago the maytag plant_close down __PUNCT__ job dri up __PUNCT__

folk ar now back to work manufactur these enorm new tower and blade for some of the most sophist __PUNCT__ high __PUNCT__ tech wind_turbin on the planet __PUNCT__

the wind industri now support __NUM___job here in iowa __PUNCT__ __NUM__ job across the countri __PUNCT__

these job aren't a __PUNCT__ fad __PUNCT__

these ar good_job __PUNCT__ and thei a sourc of pride that we need to fight for __PUNCT__

and if he __PUNCT__ if governor romnei understood what you been do __PUNCT__ he know that we us to have to import most of the part that were us for wind_turbin __PUNCT__

thei now be made here in america __PUNCT__ by american_worker in american factori __PUNCT__

that not __PUNCT__ imaginari __PUNCT__ that real __PUNCT__

that part of what we fight for in thi elect __PUNCT__

if he knew what you been do __PUNCT__ he know that __NUM__ percent of iowa electr now come from wind __PUNCT__ power our home and our factori and our busi in a wai that is clean and renew __PUNCT__

in fact __PUNCT__ over the past___NUM___year __PUNCT__ we doubl the amount of electr america gener for wind __PUNCT__

across america __PUNCT__ we built the equival of __NUM__ new hoover dam __PUNCT__ worth of wind_energi __PUNCT__

think about that __PUNCT__

think about that __PUNCT__

so governor romnei mai have figur out that you can't drive a car with a windmil on it __PUNCT__ but he doesn't seem to know that america now ha enough wind_turbin instal to gener enough electr from wind to power nearli __NUM___million home with clean_energi __PUNCT__

that how we leav someth better for the next gener __PUNCT__

that worth fight for __PUNCT__

that what at stake right now __PUNCT__

so i want to stop give __MONEY___billion in taxpay_subsidi that ar go to oil_compani that ar make huge profit and have been subsid for a hundr_year __PUNCT__ and let keep on invest in the new homegrown energi that creat_job right here in iowa __PUNCT__

that a differ in thi elect __PUNCT__

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

we got a whole lot of differ between me and governor romnei __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

you better __PUNCT__ you ar better __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

you know __PUNCT__ audienc member __PUNCT__

you ar better __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ i got to sai __PUNCT__ i agre with that __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ my idea ar __PUNCT__ at least __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

you ar the man __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

the __PUNCT__ look __PUNCT__ in __NUM__ i said we end the war in iraq __PUNCT__ we did __PUNCT__

we said that we go after al qaida and bin_laden __PUNCT__ we did __PUNCT__

we ar now bring troop_home from afghanistan __PUNCT__

america is safer and more secur than when i came into offic becaus of the extraordinari sacrific of our men and women in uniform __PUNCT__

that why we invest so much in make sure that the va is do it job __PUNCT__ make sure that our veteran get the benefit that thei have earn __PUNCT__

becaus thei shouldn't have to fight for a job or a roof over their head after thei fought for us __PUNCT__

we got to serv them as well as thei serv us __PUNCT__

but as thei now come home __PUNCT__ i want to take about half the monei that we save after a decad of war and let help put veteran and american back to work rebuild america __PUNCT__ do some nation __PUNCT__ build here at home __PUNCT__

let rebuild our port and our road and our bridg and our airport __PUNCT__

we can put folk back to work right now __PUNCT__

it good for the economi now __PUNCT__

it be good for the economi __NUM___year from now and __NUM__ year from now __PUNCT__

we __PUNCT__ i want to set up a veteran job corp that help local_commun hire veteran for firefight and cop in commun that need them most __PUNCT__

those ar smart invest in the futur __PUNCT__

governor romnei mai have a differ idea __PUNCT__

i want to put folk back to work rebuild america __PUNCT__

and now is the time to do it __PUNCT__

hi other idea is __PUNCT__ let get it __PUNCT__ rid of obamacar __PUNCT__ he sai __PUNCT__ i go to __PUNCT__ kill it __PUNCT__

well __PUNCT__ let me tell you someth __PUNCT__ it true __PUNCT__ i do care __PUNCT__

so i don't mind folk call it obamacar __PUNCT__

and what i said is that in a countri as rich as our __PUNCT__ we should not see anybodi go bankrupt when thei get sick __PUNCT__

the suprem_court ha now spoken __PUNCT__

we ar move_forward with thi law __PUNCT__

six __PUNCT__ and __PUNCT__ a __PUNCT__ half_million young_peopl can now stai on their parent plan __PUNCT__

insur_compani can't deni you coverag becaus of a preexist condit __PUNCT__

insur compani can't drop your coverag when you need it the most __PUNCT__

for a lot of rural_commun __PUNCT__ a lot of farmer __PUNCT__ it hard bui_health health_insur on your own __PUNCT__ you now go to be abl to pool with other folk so you can get discount_rate just like peopl who work for big_compani __PUNCT__

that will help a lot of commun all across iowa __PUNCT__

so we not go to go backward and refight the same fight we had over the last __NUM___year __PUNCT__

we go forward __PUNCT__

we not go backward __PUNCT__

we don't need to have those same_argument in washington __PUNCT__

what we need to do is go ahead and implement thi law and make sure it work __PUNCT__

and if anybodi ha got good_idea to help further lower health_care_cost __PUNCT__ i happi to work with them __PUNCT__

but we not go backward __PUNCT__

we go forward __PUNCT__

that what america need right now __PUNCT__

i run to make sure that we got the best educ_system in the world __PUNCT__

i want to help local_commun hire the best teacher __PUNCT__ especi in math and scienc __PUNCT__ give __NUM___million more slot avail in commun_colleg so peopl can get train for the job that busi ar hire for right now __PUNCT__

and i want to make colleg more afford for everi singl young_person in america __PUNCT__

we alreadi done a lot of work make sure that thei get help __PUNCT__ but i also go to work with the colleg and univers to lower tuition onc and for all __PUNCT__

becaus a higher_educ is not a luxuri in thi economi __PUNCT__ it is an econom necess __PUNCT__ and i want to make sure opportun ar open for everybodi __PUNCT__ not just for the few __PUNCT__

all these issu __PUNCT__ bring manufactur back __PUNCT__ help young_peopl go to school __PUNCT__ give you more health_care secur __PUNCT__ all these issu tie togeth __PUNCT__

it goe back to what made thi countri great __PUNCT__

when i think about my own life __PUNCT__ when i think about michel life __PUNCT__ we didn't come from wealth __PUNCT__

we didn't come from fame __PUNCT__

but we were lucki enough to be born in a countri where here __PUNCT__ everybodi get a fair shot __PUNCT__ everybodi doe their fair_share __PUNCT__ everybodi plai by the same set of rule __PUNCT__

no matter what you look like __PUNCT__ no matter where you come from __PUNCT__ no matter what your last name is __PUNCT__ you can make it here if you try __PUNCT__
