that why i run for a second term as presid __PUNCT__

that why i need your vote __PUNCT__ ohio __PUNCT__

we got a differ view about how you creat_job and prosper __PUNCT__

thi countri succe not just when folk at the top ar do well __PUNCT__

thi countri succe when everybodi ha a shot __PUNCT__ when the middl_class is grow __PUNCT__ when peopl who ar will to work_hard have ladder into the middl_class __PUNCT__

our economi_grow from the middl out __PUNCT__ not the top down __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ i understand we don't believ anybodi is entitl to success in thi countri __PUNCT__ but we do believ in someth call opportun __PUNCT__

we believ in a nation where hard_work pai off __PUNCT__ respons is reward __PUNCT__

everybodi is get a fair shot __PUNCT__

everybodi is do their fair_share __PUNCT__

everybodi is plai by the same rule __PUNCT__ not just rule benefit a few __PUNCT__

but in order for us to make thi happen __PUNCT__ you gui ar go to have to vote __PUNCT__

and you go to have to ralli around the plan that i present __PUNCT__ number on __PUNCT__ make sure we got the best educ_system in the world __PUNCT__

tatiana is an exampl of the incred potenti that our young_peopl have __PUNCT__ but we got to make that real for them __PUNCT__

so i want to help hire anoth __NUM__ new math and scienc_teacher __PUNCT__

i want to make sure that anybodi who want to get retrain for a job that out there right now know thei got a slot at the commun_colleg __PUNCT__

i want to make sure that tuition is afford for anybodi who want to go to cleveland state __PUNCT__ anybodi who want to go to ohio state __PUNCT__ anybodi who want to pursu a higher_educ and is will to put the work in __PUNCT__

i want to make sure that we invest in compani that ar put down root here in ohio and here in the unit_state __PUNCT__

rememb __PUNCT__ when we save that auto_industri __PUNCT__ mr __PUNCT__ romnei said __PUNCT__ let let detroit go bankrupt __PUNCT__

i put my bet on american_worker and american_industri __PUNCT__

and so now we got to stop give tax_break to compani that ar ship job_oversea and give them to compani that ar hire right here in ohio __PUNCT__ hire right here in cleveland __PUNCT__

that what we need __PUNCT__

we need to develop our energi_sourc __PUNCT__

but in addit to oil and ga and clean_coal technolog __PUNCT__ which we __PUNCT__ by the wai __PUNCT__ have made the largest invest ever in clean coal technolog __PUNCT__

but we also need to develop wind and solar __PUNCT__ becaus there ar job in ohio right now __PUNCT__ folk make wind_turbin and make long __PUNCT__ last batteri __PUNCT__

we got to continu to do that __PUNCT__

we got to reduc our deficit __PUNCT__ but we got to do in a sensibl wai __PUNCT__

i am not go to kick kid off of head_start __PUNCT__

i not go to make colleg more expens for the student here at cleveland state just to give anoth tax_break to folk who don't need it and weren't even ask for it __PUNCT__

and when it come to oversea __PUNCT__ i am proud that when i promis to end the war in iraq __PUNCT__ i did __PUNCT__

i said i go to wind down the war in afghanistan __PUNCT__ and i have __PUNCT__

mitt_romnei ha differ idea __PUNCT__

he like to talk tough __PUNCT__

but what i know is __PUNCT__ is that thank to the incred servic of our men and women in uniform __PUNCT__ al qaida is on the run and usama bin_laden is no more __PUNCT__

that why __PUNCT__ as command in chief __PUNCT__ i will maintain the strongest militari the world ha ever known __PUNCT__

but i also go to make sure when our troop come home and thei take off their uniform __PUNCT__ we serv them as well as thei have serv us __PUNCT__

thei shouldn't have to fight for a job when thei come home after thei fought for us all these year __PUNCT__

so look __PUNCT__ here the bottom_line __PUNCT__ ohio __PUNCT__

we got more work to do __PUNCT__ but the onli wai we go to do it is with you __PUNCT__

you the reason we pass health_care_reform so that children out there ar all abl to get insur even if thei got a preexist condit __PUNCT__

you the reason that we been abl to help young_peopl attend_colleg by try to give them more pell_grant and more financi_aid __PUNCT__

you the reason that famili all across ohio have been abl to get a littl bit of a tax_break __PUNCT__ a littl extra_monei in their pocket __PUNCT__ which then mean busi have more custom __PUNCT__ which mean busi then hire more worker __PUNCT__ which mean the economi begin to heal from the mess that we inherit __PUNCT__

you made these thing happen __PUNCT__

you were the on who help us end __PUNCT__ don't ask __PUNCT__ don't tell __PUNCT__

you the on who ar help to make sure that we doubl fuel_effici standard on car __PUNCT__

you the on who ar help us to go into neighborhood that have had tough_time in cleveland and all across thi countri and sai __PUNCT__ let put_peopl back to work rebuild foreclos home __PUNCT__ let put folk back to work make sure that we rebuild our road and our bridg __PUNCT__

but if that progress is go to continu __PUNCT__ you got to step up __PUNCT__

and i know i preach to the choir here becaus you all ar stand in the rain __PUNCT__

but a littl rain never hurt anybodi __PUNCT__

some of these polici from the other side could hurt a whole lot of folk __PUNCT__

so we onli got just a littl over a month left __PUNCT__ and you can start vote right now __PUNCT__

and the wai we go to do it is remind ourselv that the onli wai thi countri make_progress is when we do it togeth __PUNCT__ black __PUNCT__ white __PUNCT__ hispan __PUNCT__ asian __PUNCT__ nativ_american __PUNCT__ young __PUNCT__ old __PUNCT__ rich __PUNCT__ poor __PUNCT__ abl __PUNCT__ and disabl __PUNCT__

all of us togeth have to do thi __PUNCT__

when i wa elect in __NUM__ percent of the peopl did not vote for me __PUNCT__

but i didn't sai __PUNCT__ well __PUNCT__ i not go to worri about those folk __PUNCT__
