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

three month __PUNCT__ __NUM__ __PUNCT__ less than __NUM___month from now __PUNCT__ less than __NUM__ month __PUNCT__ not that i count __PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ you will face a choic __PUNCT__

and that choic could not be bigger __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

four more year __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

it a choic that you face thi __DATE__ that is not just about two candid or two polit_parti __PUNCT__ it a choic between two fundament differ vision of where to take america __PUNCT__

and the direct that you choos when you walk into that vote_booth is not go to have a direct __PUNCT__ not just go to have a direct impact on your live __PUNCT__ it go to have an impact on your kid __PUNCT__ live and your grandchildren live __PUNCT__

when we came togeth in __NUM__ __PUNCT__ democrat __PUNCT__ independ __PUNCT__ and __PUNCT__ ye __PUNCT__ some republican __PUNCT__ we came togeth to restor that basic bargain that built thi countri __PUNCT__

michel talk about it __PUNCT__

simpl idea __PUNCT__ here in thi countri __PUNCT__ if you work_hard you can get ahead __PUNCT__

here in thi countri __PUNCT__ if you take respons and you put in the effort __PUNCT__ you should be abl to find a job that support a famili __PUNCT__ you should be abl to find a home you can call your own __PUNCT__ you shouldn't go bankrupt when you get sick __PUNCT__ you should be abl to retir with digniti and respect __PUNCT__ and most of all __PUNCT__ you should be abl to give your kid the kind of educ and opportun that allow them to dream even bigger and do even better than we ever did __PUNCT__

that is the basic american promis __PUNCT__ and that promis wa be broken __PUNCT__

we seen a decad where job were be ship oversea and where wage and incom were go down __PUNCT__ except for a few at the veri top __PUNCT__ even while the cost of everyth from health_care to colleg were skyrocket __PUNCT__

we saw two war fought on a credit_card __PUNCT__ surplu go into deficit __PUNCT__ all culmin in the worst financi_crisi sinc the great_depress __PUNCT__

so we knew that restor that basic american_idea that if you work_hard you can get ahead __PUNCT__ that it wouldn't be easi __PUNCT__ that it wa go to take more than on year or on term or even on presid __PUNCT__

and that wa all befor we saw how badli thi financi_crisi hammer middl_class class_famili __PUNCT__ folk lose their home and lose their job __PUNCT__ lose their save __PUNCT__ all push that american_dream a littl further out of reach __PUNCT__

and i told you in __PUNCT__ __NUM___year_ago __PUNCT__ i said __PUNCT__ don't look for quick fix __PUNCT__

we didn't get into thi overnight __PUNCT__ we not go to solv it overnight __PUNCT__

but what i said __PUNCT__ and what is still true __PUNCT__ is we got all the thing we need __PUNCT__ all the ingredi __PUNCT__

we got the capac to meet our challeng __PUNCT__

we still got the best worker in the world __PUNCT__

we got the best farmer in the world __PUNCT__

we got the best small __PUNCT__ businesspeopl in the world __PUNCT__

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

we a young nation __PUNCT__ and we got the greatest divers of talent and ingenu __PUNCT__

peopl want to come here from everi corner of the globe __PUNCT__

no matter what the naysay mai sai __PUNCT__ there is not anoth countri on earth that would not trade place with the unit_state of america __PUNCT__

peopl around the world understand thi is still a place where no matter what you look like or where you come from or what your last name is __PUNCT__ you can make it __PUNCT__

and that the idea we try to rebuild __PUNCT__

that why we __PUNCT__ that what thi campaign about __PUNCT__

that what the last year have been about __PUNCT__

everi dai __PUNCT__ i woken up think about you __PUNCT__

that what we thought about when we put in place the recoveri act to help make sure that everybodi who need it got a tax_cut __PUNCT__ to make sure that teacher could stai on the job and firefight and cop __PUNCT__

that what i wa think about when we save the auto_industri that wa about to go under __PUNCT__

that how we work with busi to help creat million new job __PUNCT__ half a million in manufactur __PUNCT__

but we got a long wai to go __PUNCT__

we got more work to do __PUNCT__

we know that __PUNCT__

and the big challeng we have right now is not a lack of big_idea __PUNCT__ it not a lack of solut __PUNCT__

our problem is polit in washington __PUNCT__

we got folk on the other side who think __PUNCT__ compromis __PUNCT__ is a dirti word and basic have onli two idea to grow the economi __PUNCT__

on is to get rid of regul that we put in place to make sure that we don't have anoth tax __PUNCT__ fund bailout __PUNCT__ taxpay __PUNCT__ fund bailout when the bank make reckless decis or make sure that pollut aren't pollut or make sure insur_compani aren't take advantag of you __PUNCT__

so thei want to strip awai those regul __PUNCT__

and the other big_idea thei got is the same_kind of top __PUNCT__ down econom that got us into thi mess in the first place __PUNCT__

governor romnei big_idea is a __MONEY___trillion tax_cut __PUNCT__ on top of the bush_tax_cut __PUNCT__ a lot of which would be go to the wealthiest american __PUNCT__ who alreadi been do veri well __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

romnei hood __PUNCT__ audienc member __PUNCT__

boo __PUNCT__ audienc member __PUNCT__

romnei hood __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

and here the kicker __PUNCT__ he expect you to pai for it __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

no __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

becaus __MONEY___trillion is a lot of monei __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ that __NUM___time our defens_budget __PUNCT__ so that would be the equival of our defens budget in tax_cut everi singl year __PUNCT__

and hi basic_idea is that middl_class class_famili with children would see their tax_bill go up an averag __MONEY__

thi is not my analysi __PUNCT__

thi is an analysi that wa done by independ economist __PUNCT__

and thei ask you to pai more in your tax not to reduc the deficit or grow job or invest in educ __PUNCT__ but to give anoth __MONEY__ tax_cut to peopl_make make___MONEY__ __MONEY___million a year or more __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

boo __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ hi alli in congress have the same view __PUNCT__

you heard that he announc congressman ryan as hi run_mate __PUNCT__

and look __PUNCT__ congressman ryan __PUNCT__ i know him __PUNCT__ he a good_man __PUNCT__ a famili_man __PUNCT__

but he is the ideolog leader of thi republican_congress __PUNCT__

and he a veri articul spokesperson for governor romnei vision __PUNCT__

the problem is the vision wrong __PUNCT__

we don't agre with it __PUNCT__

thei have tri to sell us thi top __PUNCT__ down __PUNCT__ trickl __PUNCT__ down econom befor __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ we just tri it right befor i took offic __PUNCT__

and guess what __PUNCT__ it did not work __PUNCT__

it didn't work then __PUNCT__ and it won't work now __PUNCT__

it not a plan to creat_job __PUNCT__

it not a plan to reduc the deficit __PUNCT__

it not a plan to move our economi forward __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ secretli __PUNCT__ i think thei know thi __PUNCT__

thei understand their econom_plan isn't veri popular __PUNCT__ becaus thei start make all kind of stuff up about my plan __PUNCT__

i give you an exampl __PUNCT__

late __PUNCT__ thei been talk about medicar __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ keep in mind these ar __PUNCT__ both governor romnei and congressman ryan in the past have said thei want to voucher the medicar system __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

boo __PUNCT__ audienc member __PUNCT__

no wai __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

here what i done __PUNCT__

i strengthen medicar __PUNCT__

i made reform that save million of senior with medicar hundr of dollar on their prescript_drug __PUNCT__

we close the doughnut hole __PUNCT__

i propos reform that will save medicar monei by get rid of wast spend in the health_care_system __PUNCT__ reform that will not touch your medicar benefit __PUNCT__

and governor romnei and hi run_mate have a differ plan __PUNCT__

thei want to turn medicar into a voucher system __PUNCT__

that mean senior would no longer have the guarante of medicar __PUNCT__ thei get a voucher to bui privat_insur __PUNCT__

and if it doesn't keep up with cost __PUNCT__ well __PUNCT__ that the senior __PUNCT__ problem __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

boo __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

it wa estim that governor romnei run_mate __PUNCT__ hi origin plan would forc senior to pai an extra __MONEY__ a year __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

boo __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

my plan extend medicar by nearli a decad __PUNCT__

their plan end medicar as we know it __PUNCT__

my plan reduc the cost of medicar by crack down on fraud and wast and subsidi to insur_compani __PUNCT__

their plan make senior pai more to help financ anoth tax_cut for folk who don't need it __PUNCT__

that an exampl of the differ between our two philosophi __PUNCT__

that the choic in thi elect __PUNCT__

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

audienc member __PUNCT__

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

you know __PUNCT__ when it come to tax __PUNCT__ __NUM___year_ago i promis to cut middl_class tax __PUNCT__ i did it __PUNCT__

if anybodi tell you democrat ar all big tax __PUNCT__ and __PUNCT__ spend __PUNCT__ you tell them __PUNCT__ well __PUNCT__ my tax ar lower than thei were befor presid_obama took offic by about __MONEY__ for a typic famili __PUNCT__

so now i want to keep tax right where thei ar for the first __MONEY__ of everybodi incom __PUNCT__

if your famili make under __MONEY__ __PUNCT__ like __NUM__ percent of american and __NUM__ percent of small_busi __PUNCT__ you won't see your incom_tax tax_increas by a singl dime next year __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ if you fortun enough to be in the other __NUM__ percent __PUNCT__ you still keep the tax_cut on the first __MONEY__ you make __PUNCT__

but if you make more than that __PUNCT__ we go to ask you to contribut just a littl bit more to help pai down the deficit and allow us to still invest in thing like educ that help the economi_grow __PUNCT__

that won't solv the whole deficit problem __PUNCT__

we still got to make some smart cut __PUNCT__

i alreadi cut a trillion_dollar of spend __PUNCT__

we can do more __PUNCT__

but we can't just balanc our budget on the back of middl_class class_famili __PUNCT__ audienc member __PUNCT__

no __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ not just on the back of the poor __PUNCT__

so what i said is __PUNCT__ look __PUNCT__ i know folk like me ar in a posit to do a littl bit more __PUNCT__ go back to the rate we paid under bill_clinton __PUNCT__ a time when we creat___NUM__ __NUM___million new job __PUNCT__ we had a budget surplu instead of a deficit __PUNCT__

and guess what __PUNCT__ you know what __PUNCT__ millionair did good too __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ busi and corpor did well too __PUNCT__

and here the reason __PUNCT__ when a teacher or a firefight or a receptionist or a construct_worker __PUNCT__ when thei got a littl more monei in their pocket __PUNCT__ when you got a littl more monei __PUNCT__ pocket __PUNCT__ what do you do __PUNCT__ audienc member __PUNCT__

spend it __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

you spend it __PUNCT__ becaus time ar tough __PUNCT__

you mayb haven't bought a new car in __NUM___year __PUNCT__

mayb you got an old broken applianc that just been sit there __PUNCT__ doesn't work __PUNCT__

mayb your kid is go to colleg and you want to make sure thei got a comput to help them with their studi __PUNCT__

so you go out __PUNCT__ and now busi have more custom __PUNCT__

and when busi have more custom __PUNCT__ thei make more profit __PUNCT__

and when thei make more profit __PUNCT__ thei hire more worker __PUNCT__

and then those worker have a littl more monei __PUNCT__ and thei go out and spend some more __PUNCT__

see __PUNCT__ when you look at the histori of thi countri __PUNCT__ we didn't grow through top __PUNCT__ down econom __PUNCT__ we grew through middl __PUNCT__ class __PUNCT__ out econom __PUNCT__

we grew from bottom __PUNCT__ up econom __PUNCT__

we grew togeth __PUNCT__ where everybodi got a fair shot and everybodi do their fair_share and everybodi plai by the same set of rule __PUNCT__

that the choic in thi elect __PUNCT__

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

so on almost everi issu __PUNCT__ you go to have a choic __PUNCT__

when the auto_industri wa on the brink of collaps __PUNCT__ governor romnei said __PUNCT__ let __PUNCT__ let detroit go bankrupt __PUNCT__

i said __PUNCT__ that a million worker at stake __PUNCT__ and i believ in american_worker __PUNCT__

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

so now i want to make sure american_manufactur take root here __PUNCT__

let chang thi tax_code onc and for all __PUNCT__ stop give tax_break to compani that ar ship job_oversea __PUNCT__ let give them to compani that ar invest here in the unit_state of america __PUNCT__

governor romnei want to keep those tax_break __PUNCT__

he like to talk about hi privat_sector experi __PUNCT__ but a lot of it wa invest in compani that have been call __PUNCT__ pioneer __PUNCT__ of outsourc __PUNCT__

we don't need more outsourc __PUNCT__ we need more insourc __PUNCT__

that a differ in thi elect __PUNCT__

that a choic in thi elect __PUNCT__

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

i want to make sure that local_school school_district can hire more teacher __PUNCT__ especi in math and scienc __PUNCT__

i want to make sure that __NUM___million more peopl can go to commun_colleg so thei can get train for the job that busi ar hire for right now __PUNCT__

and i want to keep push on colleg and univers to lower tuition so everi young_person can afford to get a higher_educ __PUNCT__

that a choic in thi elect __PUNCT__

governor romnei want to end the tax_credit for wind_energi __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

boo __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

wind energi creat___NUM__ __NUM___job in iowa __PUNCT__ __NUM__ job __PUNCT__

governor romnei said these new sourc of energi ar __PUNCT__ imaginari __PUNCT__

congressman ryan said thei a __PUNCT__ fad __PUNCT__

those __NUM__ job aren't a fad __PUNCT__ thei our futur __PUNCT__

we should stop give __MONEY___billion a year in taxpay_subsidi to the big_oil oil_compani that ar alreadi make_monei and help creat homegrown sourc of energi that put american back to work and help free ourselv from depend on foreign_oil __PUNCT__

that a choic in thi elect __PUNCT__

in __NUM__ i said i end the war in iraq __PUNCT__ and i did __PUNCT__

i said we refocu attent on al qaida and bin_laden __PUNCT__ and we did __PUNCT__

we set a timelin to end the war in afghanistan __PUNCT__

all thi wa possibl becaus of incred men and women in uniform like amanda __PUNCT__

so now we got an oblig to make sure that our va and all our servic ar do what we need to do for our veteran now that thei come home __PUNCT__

but part of that is also take some of the save after a decad of war and us them to put folk back to work do some nation __PUNCT__ build here at home __PUNCT__

let rebuild some road and some bridg __PUNCT__

let creat a veteran job corp so thei can get job as firefight and cop in commun that need them __PUNCT__

that the america i want to build __PUNCT__

that a choic in thi elect __PUNCT__

and let me just tell you on more choic __PUNCT__

governor romnei said on of the first thing he go to do on dai on is he go to kill obamacar __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

i care about million young_peopl who can now stai on their parent plan becaus of obamacar __PUNCT__

i care about the senior who ar get discount on their prescript_drug becaus of obamacar __PUNCT__

the suprem_court ha spoken __PUNCT__

we ar implement it __PUNCT__
