__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ and he said __PUNCT__ if that true __PUNCT__ he must need a new account __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ whoever it wa that wa on stage last night doesn't want to be held_account for what the real mitt_romnei ha been sai for the last year __PUNCT__ and that becaus he know full well that we don't want what he been sell over the last year __PUNCT__
governor romnei mai danc around hi posit __PUNCT__ he mai do a tapdanc and a two __PUNCT__ step __PUNCT__ but if you want to be presid __PUNCT__ then you ow the american_peopl the truth __PUNCT__
so here the truth __PUNCT__ governor romnei cannot pai for hi __MONEY___trillion tax_plan without blow up the deficit or stick it to the middl_class __PUNCT__
we can't afford to go down that road again __PUNCT__
we can't afford anoth round of budget __PUNCT__ bust tax_cut for the wealthi __PUNCT__
we can't afford to gut our invest in educ or clean_energi or research or technolog __PUNCT__
we can't afford to roll_back regul on wall_street_bank or oil_compani or insur_compani __PUNCT__
we can't afford to doubl down on the same top __PUNCT__ down econom_polici that got us into thi mess __PUNCT__
that is not a job plan __PUNCT__
it not a plan for our economi __PUNCT__
it not a plan to strengthen the middl_class __PUNCT__
it is not chang __PUNCT__
it is a relaps __PUNCT__ and we not go to do it __PUNCT__
we have been there __PUNCT__
we have tri that __PUNCT__
we ar not go back __PUNCT__
we move_forward __PUNCT__
becaus i got a differ view __PUNCT__ we have a differ view about how to creat_job and prosper __PUNCT__
thi countri doesn't succe when onli the rich get richer __PUNCT__
we succe when everybodi ha a shot __PUNCT__ when the middl_class is get bigger __PUNCT__ when there ar ladder of opportun into the middl class __PUNCT__
our economi doe not grow from the top down __PUNCT__ it grow from the middl out __PUNCT__
that how it grow __PUNCT__
we don't believ that anybodi is entitl to success in thi countri __PUNCT__ but we do believ in opportun __PUNCT__
we do believ in a countri where hard_work pai off and respons is reward __PUNCT__ where everybodi is get a fair shot and everybodi is do their fair_share and everybodi is plai by the same rule __PUNCT__
that the countri we believ in __PUNCT__
that what i been fight for __PUNCT__ for the last __NUM___year __PUNCT__
that 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__
madison __PUNCT__ what we ar ralli around is a new econom patriot that is root in the core_belief that built thi countri __PUNCT__ the belief that the economi_grow when we have a strong and thrive middl_class and everybodi who work_hard ha a shot __PUNCT__
and there ar specif wai that we can do that __PUNCT__
i want to export more product and outsourc fewer job __PUNCT__
my oppon said we should let detroit go bankrupt __PUNCT__
we came togeth __PUNCT__ audienc member __PUNCT__
boo __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__
don't boo __PUNCT__ audienc member __PUNCT__
vote __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__
__PUNCT__ vote __PUNCT__
we came togeth to reinvent a dy auto_industri that now back on top of the world __PUNCT__
we creat half a million new manufactur_job __PUNCT__
and so we can keep give tax_break to compani that ar ship job_oversea __PUNCT__ or we can start reward compani that ar open new plant and train new worker right here in wisconsin __PUNCT__ right here in the unit_state of america __PUNCT__
that what we need to do __PUNCT__
i want to help big factori and small_busi doubl their export __PUNCT__ creat a million new manufactur_job __PUNCT__
you can make that happen __PUNCT__ but you go to have to vote __PUNCT__
i want to control more of our own energi __PUNCT__
after __NUM___year of do noth __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 a gallon of ga __PUNCT__
that good for your pocketbook __PUNCT__ that good for our economi __PUNCT__ and it also good for our environ __PUNCT__
we doubl the amount of renew_energi that we gener from sourc like wind and solar __PUNCT__
thousand of american have job todai build wind_turbin __PUNCT__ long __PUNCT__ last batteri __PUNCT__
todai __PUNCT__ the unit_state of america is less depend on oil than at ani time in nearli two decad __PUNCT__
so now you got a choic between a plan that revers thi progress __PUNCT__ as you heard last night __PUNCT__ or on that build on it __PUNCT__
the gui who wa plai mitt_romnei said he refus to close a loophol that give big_oil oil_compani __MONEY___billion in taxpay_subsidi everi singl year __PUNCT__
doe anybodi think that oil_compani need a tax subsidi right now __PUNCT__ audienc member __PUNCT__
no __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__
so we got a better plan __PUNCT__
we go to keep invest in wind and solar and clean_coal __PUNCT__ and farmer and scientist can har biofuel to power our car and our truck and make our build and school more energi_effici and develop our natur_ga that right beneath our feet __PUNCT__
and if we do all those thing __PUNCT__ we can cut our oil import in half by __NUM__ __PUNCT__
we can support hundr of thousand of job all across the countri __PUNCT__
but you go to have to vote to make it happen __PUNCT__
i want to make sure that everi young_person in america ha the chanc to get the skill __PUNCT__ the knowledg thei need __PUNCT__ to compet in thi __NUM__ __PUNCT__ centuri economi __PUNCT__
educ is the onli reason i stand on thi stage __PUNCT__
it the onli reason michel wa abl to do what she did __PUNCT__
and so we haven't forgotten that we need some student_loan to get through school __PUNCT__
that why over the last __NUM___year __PUNCT__ we help million of student pai less for colleg becaus we final took on a system that wa wast billion of dollar on bank and lender __PUNCT__
we said __PUNCT__ let cut out the middleman __PUNCT__ let give the monei directli to student __PUNCT__
now __PUNCT__ the gui plai mitt_romnei last night sai he love educ __PUNCT__ but the budget that hi run_mate __PUNCT__ congressman ryan __PUNCT__ put_forward __PUNCT__ audienc member __PUNCT__
boo __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__
don't boo __PUNCT__ audienc member __PUNCT__
vote __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__
v ot __PUNCT__
would gut educ to pai for more tax_break for the wealthi __PUNCT__
that on path __PUNCT__
it the wrong path __PUNCT__
we need to decid that in the unit_state of america __PUNCT__ no child should have her dream defer becaus of an overcrowd classroom __PUNCT__ becaus of outdat textbook __PUNCT__
no famili should have to set asid an accept letter to go to the univers of wisconsin becaus thei don't have the monei __PUNCT__
no compani should have to look for worker in china becaus thei couldn't find ani with the right skill here in the unit state __PUNCT__
so i need you to help me recruit __NUM__ new math and scienc_teacher __PUNCT__ improv earli __PUNCT__ childhood_educ __PUNCT__ give __NUM___million worker the chanc to learn skill at the commun_colleg that will lead directli to a job __PUNCT__
help us work with colleg and univers like thi on to cut the growth of tuition cost so that you gui aren't overburden with debt when you graduat __PUNCT__
that a goal we can meet __PUNCT__
we can choos that futur for america __PUNCT__
we go to have to do someth about the deficit __PUNCT__ but we got to do it in a smart wai __PUNCT__
i said i cut the deficit by __MONEY___trillion through a mix of spend_cut and higher_tax on the wealthiest of american __PUNCT__
i alreadi work with republican to cut a trillion_dollar in spend __PUNCT__
i will to do more __PUNCT__
i want to reform the tax_code so it simpl and it fair __PUNCT__
but i also go to ask the wealthiest among us to pai higher_tax on incom over __MONEY__ the same_rate we had when bill_clinton wa presid __PUNCT__ creat___NUM__ __NUM___million new job __PUNCT__ went from deficit to surplu __PUNCT__
and look __PUNCT__ the whole economi doe well when tax ar kept low for middl_class class_famili and work_famili __PUNCT__ becaus when you gui have a littl extra_monei in your pocket __PUNCT__ you spend it __PUNCT__
you have to __PUNCT__ on basic_necess __PUNCT__
and that mean busi ha more custom and thei make more profit __PUNCT__
thei then hire more worker __PUNCT__ and the economi as a whole begin to grow __PUNCT__
but to do that and reduc the deficit at the same_time __PUNCT__ we got to ask folk who can afford it to do a littl bit more __PUNCT__
now __PUNCT__ last night __PUNCT__ thi mai have actual been the real mitt_romnei __PUNCT__ becaus he rule out rais a dime on tax on anyon ever __PUNCT__ no matter how much monei thei make __PUNCT__ rule out close those loophol that ar give __MONEY___billion of corpor_welfar to the oil_compani __PUNCT__ refus to even acknowledg the loophol that give tax_break to corpor that move job_oversea __PUNCT__
when he wa ask what he would do to actual cut_spend and reduc the deficit __PUNCT__ he said he elimin public televis fund __PUNCT__
audienc member __PUNCT__
boo __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__
so don't boo __PUNCT__ now __PUNCT__ audienc member __PUNCT__
vote __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__
but i just want to make sure i got thi straight __PUNCT__
he get rid of regul on wall_street __PUNCT__ but he go to crack down on sesam street __PUNCT__
thank good somebodi is final crack down on big bird __PUNCT__
who knew that he wa respons for all these deficit __PUNCT__ elmo ha got to watch out __PUNCT__
__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ the fact is the gui plai mitt_romnei last night __PUNCT__ hi math doesn't add up __PUNCT__
the onli wai to pai for __MONEY___trillion in new tax_cut and __MONEY___trillion in new defens_spend that the militari is not ask for is by either blow up the deficit or ask you to pai more __PUNCT__
and i refus to do that __PUNCT__
i not go to 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 to pai for a tax_cut we can't afford __PUNCT__
and i will not turn medicar into a voucher __PUNCT__
i explain why yesterdai __PUNCT__
governor romnei doubl down on thi propos last night __PUNCT__ and he is wrong __PUNCT__
no american should ever have to spend their golden year at the merci of insur_compani __PUNCT__
thei should retir with digniti and the care that thei earn __PUNCT__
so we can reform medicar the right wai by reduc health_care_cost __PUNCT__ not by ask senior to pai thousand of dollar more __PUNCT__
and we will keep the promis of social_secur __PUNCT__ strengthen it __PUNCT__ but we won't turn it over to wall_street __PUNCT__
now __PUNCT__ madison __PUNCT__ we talk a lot about domest affair yesterdai __PUNCT__
but we go to have a chanc to talk about what happen abroad as well __PUNCT__
four year_ago __PUNCT__ i promis to end the war in iraq __PUNCT__ and i did __PUNCT__
i said we wind down the war in afghanistan in a respons wai __PUNCT__ and we ar __PUNCT__
and becaus we were abl to refocu attent __PUNCT__ al qaida is on the path to defeat and usama bin_laden is dead __PUNCT__
now __PUNCT__ there still a lot of threat out there __PUNCT__
we saw that just __PUNCT__ tragic __PUNCT__ in the last coupl of week __PUNCT__
and that why __PUNCT__ so long as i command in chief __PUNCT__ we sustain the strongest militari the world ha ever known __PUNCT__
and when our troop take off the uniform __PUNCT__ we serv them as well as thei serv us __PUNCT__
nobodi should have to fight for a job or a roof over their head when thei have fought for america freedom __PUNCT__
we will honor that commit __PUNCT__
now __PUNCT__ i don't know who go to show up at the next debat __PUNCT__ but i do know that the real mitt_romnei said it wa __PUNCT__ tragic __PUNCT__ to end the war in iraq __PUNCT__
he won't tell us how he end the war in afghanistan __PUNCT__
i have __PUNCT__ and i will __PUNCT__
and i go to us the monei that we no longer spend on war to pai down our debt and to put more peopl back to work rebuild road and bridg and school and runwai __PUNCT__
after a decad of war __PUNCT__ it time to do some nation __PUNCT__ build here at home __PUNCT__
that why i run for a second term __PUNCT__
so thi is the choic we face __PUNCT__
thi is what the elect come down to __PUNCT__
the other side will tell you that sinc govern can't do everyth __PUNCT__ it should do almost noth __PUNCT__
if you can't afford health_insur __PUNCT__ hope you don't get sick __PUNCT__
if a compani is releas pollut into the air that your children breath __PUNCT__ well __PUNCT__ that the price of progress __PUNCT__
if you can't afford to start a busi or go to colleg __PUNCT__ borrow_monei from your parent __PUNCT__
you know __PUNCT__ that not what thi countri is about __PUNCT__
that not how our great wa built __PUNCT__
here in america __PUNCT__ we believ we all in thi togeth __PUNCT__
we understand it not about what can be done for us __PUNCT__
it about what can be done by us __PUNCT__ togeth __PUNCT__ as on nation and as on peopl __PUNCT__
that what we believ __PUNCT__

and __PUNCT__ madison __PUNCT__ that why you can't bui into the cynic that is so preval __PUNCT__ the idea that the chang we fought for somehow isn't possibl __PUNCT__ becaus when that happen __PUNCT__ chang doesn't happen __PUNCT__
if you give up on the idea that your voic can make a differ __PUNCT__ then other peopl fill the void __PUNCT__ the well connect __PUNCT__ the lobbyist __PUNCT__ the folk who can write __MONEY___million check to try to bui thi elect or the on who ar try to make it harder to vote __PUNCT__ washington_politician who want to control health_care choic that women ar perfectli capabl of make themselv __PUNCT__
