both side have now made their argument __PUNCT__
and there a choic that we got to make __PUNCT__ and it the clearest choic we seen in a gener __PUNCT__ not just between two candid or two parti __PUNCT__ but a choic between two fundament differ vision of our futur __PUNCT__
we want to restor the basic bargain that built the largest middl_class and the strongest economi the world ever known __PUNCT__ a bargain that sai hard_work pai off __PUNCT__ that respons is reward __PUNCT__ that everybodi doe their fair_share and everybodi get a fair shot and everybodi is plai by the same rule __PUNCT__ from main_street to wall_street to washington __PUNCT__ dc __PUNCT__
that the basic bargain that led me to run for presid __PUNCT__
it what allow me and michel to have extraordinari opportun in our live __PUNCT__
and we want to make sure the next gener ha those same opportun __PUNCT__
and we had just gone through a decad in which job were be ship oversea __PUNCT__ and famili were have troubl make end meet __PUNCT__ and thei were have to rack up more debt just to pai tuition or fill up a ga tank __PUNCT__
and it all culmin in the worst financi_crisi sinc the great_depress __PUNCT__
we spent the last 3½ year try to recov from all the damag that wa done __PUNCT__
and we made progress __PUNCT__ but not enough __PUNCT__
we got more to do __PUNCT__
and so now the question is __PUNCT__ which direct do we go __PUNCT__ audienc member __PUNCT__
forward __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__
now __PUNCT__ the republican __PUNCT__ thei disagre with you __PUNCT__
audienc member __PUNCT__
boo __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__
no __PUNCT__ no __PUNCT__ don't boo __PUNCT__ vote __PUNCT__
__PUNCT__ applaus __PUNCT__ vote __PUNCT__
audienc member __PUNCT__
i love you __PUNCT__ obama __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__
i love you back __PUNCT__
thei had their convent here in florida and thei talk a lot about me __PUNCT__
__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ but thei didn't talk a lot about you __PUNCT__
thei talk about everyth thei think is wrong with america __PUNCT__ but thei didn't realli talk about how to make it right __PUNCT__
thei want your vote __PUNCT__ but thei didn't realli talk about their plan __PUNCT__
and that becaus their plan boil down to tax_cut __PUNCT__ tax cut __PUNCT__ gut a few regul __PUNCT__ and then some more tax cut __PUNCT__
__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ tax cut when time ar good __PUNCT__
tax cut when time ar bad __PUNCT__
tax cut when we got a surplu __PUNCT__
tax cut when we have a deficit __PUNCT__
tax cut to help you lose a few pound __PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ tax cut to improv your love life __PUNCT__
__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ whatev is wrong with you __PUNCT__ thei think tax cut __PUNCT__ especi for folk at the top __PUNCT__ will cure all ill __PUNCT__
now __PUNCT__ i cut_tax for folk who need it __PUNCT__
for middl_class class_famili __PUNCT__ for small_busi __PUNCT__
but i don't believ anoth round of tax_cut for millionair ar go to bring job_back from oversea __PUNCT__
i don't think anoth round of tax_cut for billionair that involv slash aid to student to pai for it or ask middl_class class_famili to pai more __PUNCT__ that somehow that go to reduc the deficit or help grow our economi __PUNCT__
i certainli don't think that it make a lot of sens for us to be look at creat a voucher for medicar to pai for some tax_cut for folk who don't need them and weren't even ask for them __PUNCT__
that not who we ar __PUNCT__
that not how we made progress in thi countri __PUNCT__
i don't think roll_back regul on wall_street so that we don't have anoth taxpay __PUNCT__ fund bailout is a smart idea __PUNCT__
i don't think roll_back health_care that is help american all across florida and all across the countri is a good_idea __PUNCT__
i don't want to go backward __PUNCT__
we have been there __PUNCT__
we have done that __PUNCT__
it didn't work __PUNCT__
we move_forward __PUNCT__
that why i run for a second term as presid of the unit_state __PUNCT__
__PUNCT__ applaus __PUNCT__ forward __PUNCT__ audienc member __PUNCT__

i never have __PUNCT__
these problem built up over decad __PUNCT__ thei go to take more than a few year to solv __PUNCT__
but we can move_forward in the right direct __PUNCT__

it start with no longer ship job_oversea __PUNCT__
let export good made here in america __PUNCT__
after a decad of declin __PUNCT__ we now creat half a million_job over the last __NUM___year just in manufactur __PUNCT__
we reinvent a dy auto_industri that back on top __PUNCT__
so we can take mr __PUNCT__ romnei advic and continu to give even more tax_break to compani that ar ship job_oversea __PUNCT__ or we can reward compani that ar invest in new job and new worker and new factori here in the unit_state of america __PUNCT__
that what we fight for __PUNCT__
i want to help american factori and small_busi export more __PUNCT__
we can creat a million new manufactur_job in the next __NUM___year __PUNCT__
you can make that happen __PUNCT__
second part of our plan __PUNCT__ let control our own energi __PUNCT__
after __NUM__ year of inact __PUNCT__ we rais fuel standard so that by the middl of the next decad __PUNCT__ your car and truck will go twice as far on the same gallon of ga __PUNCT__

we doubl our us of renew_energi like wind and solar __PUNCT__
todai __PUNCT__ thousand of american have job build wind_turbin and long __PUNCT__ last batteri __PUNCT__
and todai __PUNCT__ the unit_state is less depend on foreign_oil than at ani time in nearli two decad __PUNCT__

we can build on that progress __PUNCT__ or we can revers it like my oppon recommend __PUNCT__
audienc member __PUNCT__
boo __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__
i think he wrong __PUNCT__
don't boo __PUNCT__ vote __PUNCT__
unlik my oppon __PUNCT__ i don't intend to let oil_compani write our countri energi plan or endang our coastlin __PUNCT__
and i don't want them to keep collect __MONEY___billion of corpor_welfar from our taxpay __PUNCT__
we got a better path __PUNCT__
we keep invest in wind and solar __PUNCT__ clean_coal technolog __PUNCT__ farmer and scientist har new biofuel to power our car and truck __PUNCT__ construct_worker build home and factori that ar more energi_effici __PUNCT__ develop a hundr_year __PUNCT__ suppli of natur_ga __PUNCT__
we can cut our oil import in half by __NUM__ and support more than __NUM__ new job in natur ga alon __PUNCT__
that move_forward __PUNCT__
we not go backward __PUNCT__
third __PUNCT__ we go to build on the reform we have initi and make sure that american ar get the chanc to get the skill thei need to compet in thi __NUM__ __PUNCT__ centuri economi __PUNCT__
educ wa the kei to opportun for me __PUNCT__ the kei to opportun for michel __PUNCT__ the kei to opportun for mani of you __PUNCT__
it the gatewai to a middl_class class_life __PUNCT__
and that why __PUNCT__ for the first time in a gener __PUNCT__ we push everi state almost __PUNCT__ to answer our call to rais standard for teach and __URL__ of the worst school in the nation have made real gain in read and math __PUNCT__
million of student ar save_monei __PUNCT__ pai less for colleg __PUNCT__ becaus of the work we did to keep the student_loan loan_program on track and improv the pell_grant program __PUNCT__
so you can take their advic and gut educ __PUNCT__
or we can decid in the unit_state __PUNCT__ no child should have her dream defer becaus of an overcrowd classroom or becaus a famili can't afford to send her to colleg __PUNCT__
no compani should have to look for a worker someplac els becaus thei couldn't find the right skill for worker here in the unit state __PUNCT__
so i need you to help me recruit __NUM__ new math and scienc_teacher __PUNCT__ improv earli_childhood childhood_educ __PUNCT__
let provid __NUM___million more worker the chanc to learn skill at commun_colleg for job that ar out there right now __PUNCT__
and let work with colleg and univers to lower tuition __PUNCT__ becaus it is not a luxuri for young_peopl __PUNCT__

that what i mean when i sai we need to move_forward __PUNCT__ not backward __PUNCT__
we can meet these goal togeth __PUNCT__
my plan would reduc our deficit without stick it to the middl_class __PUNCT__
independ analysi show my plan would reduc our deficit by __MONEY___trillion __PUNCT__
we got the math all done __PUNCT__
we laid it out there __PUNCT__

i alreadi work with the republican in congress to cut a trillion_dollar __PUNCT__ worth of spend __PUNCT__
and i will to do more with republican __PUNCT__
i want to reform our tax_code so that it simpl and it fair __PUNCT__
but i also think it make_sens for folk like me to pai higher_tax on our incom over __MONEY__ the same_rate bill_clinton had when he wa presid __PUNCT__ the same_rate that creat___NUM__ __NUM___million new job __PUNCT__ the biggest budget surplu in histori __PUNCT__ a lot of millionair to boot __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

thei need to talk to thi young ladi and get some tutor __PUNCT__
thei need to stai after school __PUNCT__
thei need to get some extra studi hall in there __PUNCT__
no recess for you __PUNCT__
__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ look __PUNCT__ i refus to go along with a plan that ask middl_class class_famili to give up their deduct for own a home or rais their kid just to pai for anoth millionair tax_cut __PUNCT__
i refus to ask student to pai more for colleg or kick children out of head_start program or elimin health_insur for million of american who ar poor and elderli or disabl just so those with the most can pai less __PUNCT__
and __PUNCT__ and i want you to hear me now __PUNCT__ i will never turn medicar into a voucher __PUNCT__
we won't do that __PUNCT__
here what you need to know __PUNCT__
i have strengthen medicar __PUNCT__
we ad year to the life of medicar __PUNCT__
we did it by get rid of taxpay_subsidi to insur_compani that weren't make_peopl healthier __PUNCT__
the other side know that __PUNCT__
in fact __PUNCT__ it wa in their budget __PUNCT__ all the save we achiev __PUNCT__
now thei pretend like somehow it affect beneficiari when thei know it doesn't __PUNCT__
we took that monei that wa go to the insur_compani __PUNCT__ us part of it to help lower prescript_drug cost for senior __PUNCT__ to offer free prevent_care for senior __PUNCT__
we thought that wa a good_idea __PUNCT__
thei mai think it a bad_idea __PUNCT__ but i don't __PUNCT__
thei want to give the monei_back to the insur_compani __PUNCT__ put them in charg of medicar __PUNCT__
audienc member __PUNCT__
no __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__
there wa on report that just said that by the end of the next decad under their plan __PUNCT__ you would see as much as __MONEY__ to __NUM___billion in new profit for insur_compani __PUNCT__ paid for by taxpay __PUNCT__
why would we do that __PUNCT__ the cost to folk who ar current on medicar could rise by thousand of dollar so that insur compani ar make those billion of dollar in profit __PUNCT__
that not a good plan __PUNCT__
audienc member __PUNCT__
no __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__
so here the bottom_line __PUNCT__ their plan bankrupt medicar over the long_term and __PUNCT__ actual __PUNCT__ over the short_term __PUNCT__ mean the trust_fund run out of monei by __NUM__ __PUNCT__
our plan strengthen medicar __PUNCT__
i believ no american should ever have to spend their golden year at the merci of insur_compani __PUNCT__
i believ everi american who work_hard should be abl to retir with the digniti that thei have earn __PUNCT__
and i want to be honest with you __PUNCT__ we go to have to strengthen medicar for the long_haul __PUNCT__ and that requir some reform __PUNCT__
but we do it by reform the wai that health_care deliveri_system system_work so that we reduc the cost of health_care __PUNCT__ not by ask senior to pai thousand of dollar more __PUNCT__
and we go to keep the promis of social_secur by take the respons step to strengthen it __PUNCT__ not by turn it over to wall_street __PUNCT__
now __PUNCT__ our prosper at home is link to our polici abroad __PUNCT__ and i got a track_record that you can look at __PUNCT__
i said i end the war in iraq __PUNCT__ i did __PUNCT__
i said we begin bring troop_home from afghanistan __PUNCT__ and we ar __PUNCT__
and while a new tower rise abov the new york skylin __PUNCT__ and as we paus to rememb those that were lost thi come tuesdai on __DATE__ we know that al qaida is on the path to defeat and usama bin_laden is dead __PUNCT__
so we got a track_record that you can look at __PUNCT__
and as long as i command in chief __PUNCT__ we will sustain the strongest militari the world ha ever known __PUNCT__
our troop when thei take off those uniform __PUNCT__ we will serv them as well as thei serv us __PUNCT__ becaus thei shouldn't have to fight for a job when thei come home __PUNCT__
but my oppon ha a differ idea __PUNCT__
he said the wai we end the war in iraq wa __PUNCT__ tragic __PUNCT__ doesn't have a plan to end the war in afghanistan __PUNCT__
but you know what __PUNCT__ if you don't even mention afghanistan __PUNCT__ that a problem when you accept the nomin __PUNCT__
so i assum he doesn't have a plan __PUNCT__
and while my oppon would spend more monei on militari program that our joint_chief don't even want __PUNCT__ at a time when we suppos to be reduc our deficit __PUNCT__ i us the monei that we no longer spend on war to pai down our debt and put more peopl back to work rebuild bridg and road and school and runwai __PUNCT__
we need to do some nation __PUNCT__ build here at home __PUNCT__
that what we need to do __PUNCT__
