we not made up of a singl tribe or a singl religion or a singl race __PUNCT__

we a collect of peopl from all around the world who came here becaus of a certain set of principl __PUNCT__ the idea that all men and women ar creat_equal __PUNCT__ that we ar all endow by our creator with certain inalien right __PUNCT__

that what bind us togeth __PUNCT__

those ar the valu that we hold to __PUNCT__

and here in america __PUNCT__ there is no more fundament part of our democraci than the fact that all of you get a sai in the decis that ar made about our countri futur __PUNCT__

and that why we here todai __PUNCT__

over the past few week __PUNCT__ colorado __PUNCT__ you been offer two veri differ path for our futur __PUNCT__

you seen their convent __PUNCT__ you seen our __PUNCT__ and now you chase __PUNCT__ and now you face on big choic __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

we with you __PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

our __PUNCT__ our vision __PUNCT__ our fight __PUNCT__ is to restor the basic bargain that built the largest middl_class and the strongest economi the world ever known __PUNCT__ the promis that sai hard_work will pai off __PUNCT__ if you work_hard you can make it __PUNCT__ that respons will be reward __PUNCT__ that in thi countri of our __PUNCT__ everybodi get a fair shot and everybodi doe their fair_share and everybodi plai by the same rule __PUNCT__ from wall_street to main_street to washington __PUNCT__ dc __PUNCT__

and that basic bargain is why i ran for presid in the first place __PUNCT__ becaus i had watch a decad in which too mani job were be ship oversea __PUNCT__ in which too mani famili were struggl with cost that kept on go up __PUNCT__ but paycheck that didn't __PUNCT__ peopl have to try to cover basic expens with credit_card and home_equiti loan just to pai tuition for colleg or put ga in the car or food on the tabl __PUNCT__

and then we saw that hous of card that had been built up collaps in the worst recess sinc the great_depress and million of innoc american __PUNCT__ includ folk here in colorado __PUNCT__ lost their home and their job __PUNCT__ their life_save __PUNCT__

and for the last 3½ year __PUNCT__ we been fight to recov from the bodi_blow that we took __PUNCT__

and we made progress __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ applaus __PUNCT__ we made progress __PUNCT__

we were lose __NUM___job a month __PUNCT__ we creat_job now for the past___NUM__ __NUM___month __PUNCT__

we save an american auto_industri on the brink of go under __PUNCT__

manufactur is start to come back here in the unit_state __PUNCT__

but we got so much more work to do __PUNCT__ becaus there still a lot of folk out there hurt __PUNCT__

and here the thing __PUNCT__ i don't think the best answer for todai new challeng ar the same old sale_pitch __PUNCT__

and frankli __PUNCT__ that what you heard mostli in tampa __PUNCT__

you heard a long litani of what folk thought wa wrong with america __PUNCT__ but thei didn't tell you much about what thei do to make it right __PUNCT__

thei want your vote __PUNCT__ but thei didn't tell you their plan __PUNCT__

becaus basic their plan wa on that you had heard befor __PUNCT__ if we cut more tax __PUNCT__ everybodi is go to be okai __PUNCT__ especi if we cut_tax at the top __PUNCT__

tax_cut in good_time __PUNCT__

tax_cut in bad_time __PUNCT__

tax_cut when we at peac __PUNCT__

tax cut when we at war __PUNCT__

you need to make a restaur reserv __PUNCT__ you don't need the new iphon __PUNCT__ here a tax cut for that __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ you want to learn a new languag __PUNCT__ try a tax cut __PUNCT__

tax cut to lose a few extra pound __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ whatev ail you __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ i cut_tax for folk who need them __PUNCT__ middl_class class_famili __PUNCT__ small __PUNCT__ busi_owner __PUNCT__

that who need them __PUNCT__

the typic famili ha seen their feder_incom_tax go down __PUNCT__ their incom tax_burden go down by __MONEY__ sinc i came into offic __PUNCT__ becaus it wa import to provid folk who need it relief __PUNCT__

small_busi __PUNCT__ we cut their tax __NUM___time __PUNCT__

so i want to give tax_relief to folk who need it __PUNCT__ but i don't believ anoth round of tax_cut for millionair ar go to bring good_job job_back to our shore __PUNCT__

thei not go to bring down our deficit __PUNCT__

just like i don't believ that fire teacher or kick student off of financi_aid is go to grow our economi __PUNCT__ especi when we got to compet with the scientist and engin that ar come out of china __PUNCT__

and i got to sai __PUNCT__ colorado __PUNCT__ after all we been through __PUNCT__ the idea that we would roll_back regul that we final put in place on wall_street to make sure thei don't act recklessli again and bring the economi back to it knee __PUNCT__ i don't think roll_back regul ar go to help the small __PUNCT__ businesswoman in jefferson countri or laid __PUNCT__ off construct_worker that ar try to get back to work __PUNCT__

golden __PUNCT__ we have been there __PUNCT__

we tri that __PUNCT__ it didn't work __PUNCT__

we believ that the economi_grow from the middl_class out __PUNCT__ from the bottom up __PUNCT__

that how we move_forward __PUNCT__

and i won't pretend that the path i offer is easi __PUNCT__

bill_clinton remind us last week __PUNCT__ it go to take a few more year to deal with all the challeng that we built up over decad __PUNCT__

but when i hear some folk __PUNCT__ i guess __PUNCT__ just for polit reason __PUNCT__ sai how america is in declin __PUNCT__ thei ar wrong __PUNCT__

we still have the world best worker in the world __PUNCT__

we got the best research and scientist in the world __PUNCT__

we got the best colleg and univers in the world __PUNCT__

we got the best entrepreneur in the world __PUNCT__

we got the best democraci in the world __PUNCT__

there is not a countri on earth that wouldn't trade place with the unit_state of america __PUNCT__

our problem can be solv __PUNCT__ and our challeng can be met __PUNCT__

and the path i offer mai be harder __PUNCT__ but it lead to a better place __PUNCT__

that what we done __PUNCT__

so now you got a choic __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ unlik my oppon __PUNCT__ i not go to let the oil_compani write our energi plan __PUNCT__

i not go to get rid of the wind_energi tax_credit that is help to spur thi incred dynam sector of our economi __PUNCT__

we go to build on thi progress __PUNCT__

that the path forward __PUNCT__

that why i run for a second term __PUNCT__

i got a plan to give american a greater chanc to gain the skill thei need to compet __PUNCT__

educ wa a gatewai of opportun for me __PUNCT__

let face it __PUNCT__ a mix kid from hawaii born to a singl_mom is not like to becom presid of the unit_state __PUNCT__

but in america __PUNCT__ it can happen becaus of educ __PUNCT__ becaus somebodi gave me opportun __PUNCT__

you know __PUNCT__ a littl black girl from the south_side of chicago __PUNCT__ whose mom is a secretari and dad is a blue collar_worker __PUNCT__ not like to becom first ladi of the unit_state __PUNCT__

but it happen becaus she got a great educ __PUNCT__ even though her folk didn't have a lot of monei __PUNCT__

it the gatewai of opportun for middl_class class_famili __PUNCT__ for those who ar will to work_hard to get into the middl_class and stai there __PUNCT__

and becaus of the work we done over the last 3½ year __PUNCT__ million of student ar pai less for colleg todai becaus we took out billion of dollar that wa be wast us bank and lender as middlemen __PUNCT__ we start give these loan directli to student __PUNCT__

and now million more ar qualifi to get help __PUNCT__

we set up a tuition tax_credit so that middl_class class_famili can get a __MONEY__ tuition credit over __NUM___year to help their kid go to school __PUNCT__

now we got to build on that progress __PUNCT__

and you got a choic __PUNCT__

and the other side __PUNCT__ thei propos to gut educ to pai for more tax_break for folk like me __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

boo __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

don't boo __PUNCT__ now __PUNCT__ vote __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ vote __PUNCT__

i think we got a better path __PUNCT__

we can decid that in the unit_state of america __PUNCT__ no child should have her dream defer becaus of an overcrowd classroom or a crumbl school or outdat textbook __PUNCT__

and no famili should have to set asid a colleg accept letter just becaus thei don't have the monei __PUNCT__

no compani should have to look for worker in china becaus thei couldn't find the right skill for folk here in the unit state __PUNCT__

so i ask you to help me recruit __NUM__ new math and scienc_teacher and improv earli_childhood childhood_educ and get __NUM___million more worker the chanc to go to commun_colleg to get the skill thei need for the job that ar out there right now __PUNCT__

and let help bring down colleg and univers tuition cost over the next sever year __PUNCT__

we can meet that goal __PUNCT__

you can choos that futur for america __PUNCT__

ye we can __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

ye we can __PUNCT__

the presid __PUNCT__

you rememb that __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ we can do all thi and we can reduc our deficit without stick it to the middl_class __PUNCT__

so i put_forward a plan that will reduc our deficit by __MONEY___trillion __PUNCT__

that not my opinion __PUNCT__ there independ analysi that been done __PUNCT__ thi will reduc the deficit by __MONEY__ trillion __PUNCT__

i work with republican in congress alreadi to cut a trillion_dollar __PUNCT__ worth of spend __PUNCT__ and i will to work with them to do more __PUNCT__

everybodi talk about how partisan everyth is __PUNCT__

listen __PUNCT__ i am happi to work with republican __PUNCT__

i want their cooper __PUNCT__

i __PUNCT__ if thei want me __PUNCT__ i wash the car __PUNCT__ i walk the dog for them __PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ to get a deal done for the american_peopl __PUNCT__

i want to reform our tax_code so that it simpl and so that it fair __PUNCT__

there ar area where we should be abl to agre __PUNCT__

but here the thing i can't do __PUNCT__

i can't ask millionair to do noth __PUNCT__ and then ask everybodi els to do a whole lot __PUNCT__

so i ask __PUNCT__ under my plan __PUNCT__ the wealthiest household will pai a slightli higher_rate on their incom_tax after the __MONEY__ threshold __PUNCT__ so thei still get a tax_cut for the first __MONEY__

that would appli to __NUM__ percent of american __PUNCT__

but for that dollar after __NUM__ you pai a littl bit more __PUNCT__ the same_rate that you paid under bill_clinton __PUNCT__ the same_rate that wa in forc when our economi creat nearli __NUM___million new job __PUNCT__ went from deficit to the biggest surplu in histori __PUNCT__ and we creat a lot of millionair to boot __PUNCT__

and by the wai __PUNCT__ i want you to understand why thi is import __PUNCT__

if we take that approach where folk like me and governor romnei ar pai a littl bit more __PUNCT__ then we can keep tax low for middl_class class_famili __PUNCT__ __NUM__ percent of american_famili make___MONEY__ or less __PUNCT__

and so we can keep your tax_cut in place __PUNCT__ and we can still invest in our futur __PUNCT__

and here the thing __PUNCT__ when you got some tax_relief __PUNCT__ when the firefight or the teacher or the construct_worker or the receptionist __PUNCT__ when you gui __PUNCT__ when the small __PUNCT__ businessperson __PUNCT__ becaus __NUM__ percent of small_busi make less than __MONEY__ __PUNCT__ when you have monei in your pocket __PUNCT__ what do you do __PUNCT__ audienc member __PUNCT__

spend it __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

becaus you have to __PUNCT__ right __PUNCT__ your car is __NUM___year old __PUNCT__ and you got a boiler in the hous you got to fix __PUNCT__ right __PUNCT__ so there ar thing you do with the monei __PUNCT__

that mean __PUNCT__ then __PUNCT__ busi have more custom __PUNCT__

that mean busi make more profit and busi hire more worker __PUNCT__ which mean __PUNCT__ then __PUNCT__ the economi get that much stronger __PUNCT__

that how you grow an economi __PUNCT__

not from the top down __PUNCT__ from the bottom up __PUNCT__ from the middl out __PUNCT__

that how we do it __PUNCT__

that how we alwai done it __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ in fair __PUNCT__ the other side doe have a plan also __PUNCT__

but as presid_clinton point out __PUNCT__ it doesn't have arithmet in it __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ keep in mind __PUNCT__ these ar folk who sai that their biggest prioriti is reduc the deficit __PUNCT__

thi is a gener oblig __PUNCT__ we got to do right by our kid __PUNCT__ et cetera __PUNCT__

so what their first propos __PUNCT__ thei think that we go to lower our deficit by spend trillion of dollar more on new tax_break for the wealthi __PUNCT__

well __PUNCT__ that doesn't add up __PUNCT__

when you try to pai for __MONEY___trillion in new tax_cut __PUNCT__ there ar onli so mani place you can go __PUNCT__

first of all __PUNCT__ you can gut educ invest and invest in research and technolog __PUNCT__ and we can stop rebuild our infrastructur __PUNCT__

but even if you do all that __PUNCT__ you haven't come close to __MONEY___trillion __PUNCT__

so eventu __PUNCT__ what independ analysi sai is that middl_class class_famili ar go to have to pai for it __PUNCT__

or altern __PUNCT__ the deficit blow up __PUNCT__

and if you don't see that math __PUNCT__ then you got to go see your teacher after school __PUNCT__

you got to go talk to lisa and get some __PUNCT__ get a tutori __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ and on top of the __MONEY___trillion tax_cut that thei talk about that would give the averag_person make___MONEY__ __MONEY___million a year a __MONEY__ tax_cut __PUNCT__ in addit __PUNCT__ thei want to add __MONEY___trillion in new militari_spend without increas __PUNCT__ thei sai thei not go to increas the deficit __PUNCT__

well __PUNCT__ your calcul is go to go out on you if you try to add all that stuff up __PUNCT__

so listen __PUNCT__ golden __PUNCT__ i refus to ask middl_class class_famili to pai more so that i pai less __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 or elderli or disabl just to pai for tax_cut to the wealthi that we cannot afford __PUNCT__

and i will not turn medicar into a voucher just to give tax cut to the wealthi __PUNCT__

no american should ever have to spend their golden year at the merci of insur_compani __PUNCT__

thei should retir with digniti and respect __PUNCT__

and we go to reform and strengthen medicar for the long_haul __PUNCT__ but we do it by reduc the cost of health_care __PUNCT__ by make the health_care_system smarter so that instead of five test __PUNCT__ you get on test __PUNCT__ and then it e __PUNCT__ mail everywher __PUNCT__

and we reduc all the paperwork becaus we enhanc inform_technolog in the health_care_system __PUNCT__

and we do more prevent_care __PUNCT__

those ar the thing that ar go to reduc the cost of care __PUNCT__

but we don't just shift those cost on to senior and ask them to pai thousand of dollar more __PUNCT__

that not right __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

no __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

and we ar certainli go to make sure that we keep the promis of social_secur __PUNCT__

we take respons step to strengthen it __PUNCT__ but we not go to turn it over to wall_street __PUNCT__

so we go to rebuild our economi __PUNCT__

but our prosper at home is link to what we do abroad __PUNCT__

and thi week event remind us of that __PUNCT__

so __NUM___year_ago __PUNCT__ i promis to end the war in iraq __PUNCT__ and we did __PUNCT__

i said we wind down the war in afghanistan __PUNCT__ and we ar __PUNCT__

and while a two __PUNCT__ new tower rise abov the new york skylin __PUNCT__ al qaida is on the path to defeat __PUNCT__ and usama bin_laden is dead __PUNCT__

but we see on our televis that there ar still threat to the world __PUNCT__ in the world __PUNCT__ and we got to remain vigil __PUNCT__

that why we have to be relentless in pursu those who attack us thi week __PUNCT__

that also why __PUNCT__ so long as i command in chief __PUNCT__ we will sustain the strongest militari the world ha ever known __PUNCT__

and that why when our troop take off their uniform we will serv them as well as they've,serv us __PUNCT__ becaus nobodi who ha fought for us should have to fight for a job or a roof over their head when thei come home __PUNCT__

that is a solemn oath that we have to keep __PUNCT__

and we will us the monei we no longer spend on war to pai down our debt and to put more peopl back to work rebuild road and bridg __PUNCT__ school and runwai __PUNCT__ help local_commun hire firefight and polic_offic and first __PUNCT__ respond __PUNCT__

becaus after a decad of war __PUNCT__ it time to do some nation __PUNCT__ build right here __PUNCT__ right here in colorado __PUNCT__ right here in the unit_state of america __PUNCT__

let put american back to work __PUNCT__

we can do all thi __PUNCT__

and the power to do it is where it ha alwai been __PUNCT__ in your hand __PUNCT__

i said thi at the convent __PUNCT__ the elect __NUM___year_ago wasn't about me __PUNCT__ it wa about you __PUNCT__

you were the chang __PUNCT__

you the on who made it happen __PUNCT__

you the reason that there a teacher and her husband in pueblo who can now bui their first home with the help of new tax_credit __PUNCT__

you the reason that a woman outsid durango can get the treatment she need for her breast_cancer __PUNCT__ now that there ar afford plan to cover preexist condit __PUNCT__

you the reason senior across colorado ar save an averag of nearli __MONEY__ everi year on prescript_drug becaus of obamacar __PUNCT__

and it true __PUNCT__ i do care __PUNCT__

that why we push it __PUNCT__

you care __PUNCT__

that why we made it happen __PUNCT__

you the reason that a young immigr who grew up here and went to school here and pledg_allegi to our flag will no longer be deport from the onli countri she ever call home __PUNCT__

you the reason why a selfless soldier won't be kick out of the militari becaus of who thei ar or who thei love __PUNCT__ we end __PUNCT__ don't ask __PUNCT__ don't tell __PUNCT__

you the reason why thousand of famili have final been abl to sai to their love on who serv us so brave __PUNCT__ welcom home __PUNCT__

you made that happen __PUNCT__

and the onli wai america keep move_forward is if you don't stop __PUNCT__

you can't bui into the cynic that the other side is sell __PUNCT__

you can't let them convinc you somehow that chang isn't possibl __PUNCT__

if you give up on the idea that your voic make a differ __PUNCT__ then other peopl rush in to fill the void __PUNCT__ the lobbyist __PUNCT__ the special_interest __PUNCT__ the folk who ar write the __MONEY___million check to run all those neg_ad __PUNCT__ the folk who ar try to make it harder for you to vote __PUNCT__ the washington_politician who want to decid for you who you can marri or what kind of health_care women should get __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

no __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

we can't let that happen __PUNCT__ colorado __PUNCT__

and that why i need your help __PUNCT__ becaus we come too far to turn_back now __PUNCT__
