i said i end the war in afghanistan __PUNCT__ we ar __PUNCT__

i said we focu on the peopl who actual attack us on 9/11 __PUNCT__ and todai __PUNCT__ usama bin_laden is no more __PUNCT__

four year_ago __PUNCT__ i promis to cut_tax for middl_class class_famili __PUNCT__ and we have __PUNCT__ by __MONEY__

i promis to cut_tax for small_busi busi_owner __PUNCT__ and we have __PUNCT__ __NUM___time __PUNCT__

we got everi dime back that wa us to rescu the bank __PUNCT__

we pass a law to end taxpay __PUNCT__ fund wall_street bailout for good __PUNCT__

we pass health_care_reform __PUNCT__ also known as obamacar __PUNCT__ becaus i do care about the american_peopl __PUNCT__

so your insur_compani can't jerk you around anymor __PUNCT__ or tell you that be a women is somehow a preexist condit __PUNCT__

we repeal __PUNCT__ don't ask __PUNCT__ don't tell __PUNCT__ so no outstand soldier is ever kick out of the militari becaus of who thei love __PUNCT__

when governor romnei tri to give us hi busi advic about the economi and said that we should __PUNCT__ let detroit go bankrupt __PUNCT__ we said __PUNCT__ no __PUNCT__ thank __PUNCT__ we not go to take that advic __PUNCT__

we reinvent a dy auto_industri that back on top of the world __PUNCT__

so __NUM___year_ago __PUNCT__ __NUM__ year after that campaign that you were watch on that video __PUNCT__ after the worst econom_crisi of our lifetim __PUNCT__ our busi have now creat more than __NUM___million_job __PUNCT__

on fridai __PUNCT__ we found out the unemploy_rate ha fallen from the height of __NUM__ percent down to __NUM__ percent __PUNCT__ the lowest sinc i took offic __PUNCT__

manufactur is come back to america __PUNCT__

home valu ar on the rise __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ we not there yet __PUNCT__

we still got too mani american look for work __PUNCT__ too mani famili who can't pai the bill __PUNCT__ too mani home underwat __PUNCT__ too mani young_peopl graduat with too much debt __PUNCT__

but if there on thing i know __PUNCT__ we come a long wai __PUNCT__ and we come too far to turn_back now __PUNCT__

the last thing we can afford right now is __NUM___year of the veri same polici that led us to thi crisi in the first place __PUNCT__

i cannot allow that to happen __PUNCT__

i will not let it happen __PUNCT__

that why i am run for a second term for presid of the unit_state __PUNCT__ and that why i need your help __PUNCT__

i have seen too much pain and too much struggl to let thi countri go through anoth round of top __PUNCT__ down econom __PUNCT__

on of the main reason we had thi crisi in the first place is becaus we had big_bank on wall_street that were allow to make big bet with other peopl_monei on the line __PUNCT__

and now governor romnei want to roll_back the rule so we go back to that behavior __PUNCT__ not if i have anyth to sai about it __PUNCT__

on of the main reason we went from record surplus under bill_clinton to record deficit under georg_bush is becaus we put two war and two tax_cut on a credit_card __PUNCT__

and now governor romnei want anoth __MONEY___trillion in tax_cut that he can't pai for __PUNCT__ not if i got anyth to sai about it __PUNCT__

obvious __PUNCT__ the governor know hi __MONEY___trillion tax_cut isn't too popular __PUNCT__ so a few week befor thi elect __PUNCT__ he try to pretend it doesn't exist __PUNCT__ becaus that a lot easier than try to explain how he pai for it without ask middl_class class_famili to pick up the tab __PUNCT__

the other night he rule out ask millionair and billionair to pai even a dime more in tax to help us bring down our deficit __PUNCT__

not a dime __PUNCT__

when he wa ask what he actual do to cut_spend __PUNCT__ he said he go after public televis __PUNCT__

so for all you mom and kid out there __PUNCT__ don't worri __PUNCT__ somebodi is final crack down on big bird __PUNCT__ crack down on him __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ elmo ha made a run for the border __PUNCT__

governor romnei plan to let wall_street run wild again __PUNCT__ but he bring the hammer down on sesam street __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ l.a __PUNCT__ we can't afford anoth round of tax_cut for folk who don't need them __PUNCT__

we can't afford to gut our invest in educ or clean_energi or research and technolog __PUNCT__

we can't afford to roll_back regul not just on wall_street __PUNCT__ but on oil_compani and insur_compani __PUNCT__

that not a job plan __PUNCT__

that not a plan to grow our economi __PUNCT__

that not chang __PUNCT__

it a relaps __PUNCT__

we been there __PUNCT__

we have tri that __PUNCT__

we not go back __PUNCT__

we ar move_forward __PUNCT__

that why i run again __PUNCT__

that why i need your help __PUNCT__

see __PUNCT__ we got a differ view about how we creat_job and prosper in america __PUNCT__

thi countri doesn't succe when onli the top ar do well __PUNCT__

we succe when the middl_class is get bigger and peopl have ladder of opportun to live out their dream __PUNCT__

our economi doesn't grow from the top down __PUNCT__ it grow from the middl out and the bottom up __PUNCT__

we don't believ that anybodi is entitl to success in thi countri __PUNCT__

but we do believ in someth call opportun __PUNCT__

we believ in a countri where hard_work pai off and respons is reward and 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 that i believ in __PUNCT__

that the countri you believ in __PUNCT__

that what i been fight for __PUNCT__ for the last __NUM___year __PUNCT__

that why i run for a second term __PUNCT__

we got a lot more work to do to make sure that everybodi is take part __PUNCT__

so here what we need to do __PUNCT__

we done a lot __PUNCT__

we got a lot more to do __PUNCT__

i think it time to chang our tax_code so we not reward job __PUNCT__ compani that ar ship job_oversea __PUNCT__

i want to reward small_busi and manufactur who make product that ar stamp with three proud word __PUNCT__ made in america __PUNCT__

i want us to control our own energi here in america __PUNCT__

after __NUM___year of inact __PUNCT__ we rais fuel standard so by the middl of the next decad __PUNCT__ your car and truck will go twice as far on a gallon of ga __PUNCT__ and that mean someth here in lo_angel __PUNCT__

todai __PUNCT__ the unit_state of america is less depend on foreign_oil than ani time in the last two decad __PUNCT__

so now it time to move_forward __PUNCT__

my plan would cut our oil import in half __PUNCT__ by invest in the clean_energi that creat thousand of job all across america right now __PUNCT__ not just oil and natur_ga __PUNCT__ but wind_power and solar and fuel __PUNCT__ effici car and long __PUNCT__ last batteri __PUNCT__

and unlik my oppon __PUNCT__ i not go to allow oil_compani to collect anoth __MONEY___billion in taxpay __PUNCT__ fund corpor_welfar __PUNCT__

we not go to let china win the race for clean_energi energi_technolog __PUNCT__

i want that technolog_develop right here in the unit_state __PUNCT__ creat_job right here in the unit_state __PUNCT__ help our environ right here in the unit state __PUNCT__

that what we fight for __PUNCT__

i want us to have the best educ_system in the world __PUNCT__ make sure that american from everi walk of life ar get the chanc thei need to get the skill thei need to succe __PUNCT__

i would not be stand here if it weren't for an educ that i couldn't necessarili afford on my own __PUNCT__

it wa the gatewai of opportun for me __PUNCT__ for michel __PUNCT__ for so mani of you __PUNCT__

and now you got a choic __PUNCT__

we could gut educ to pai for governor romnei __PUNCT__ __MONEY___trillion tax_break __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

boo __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

don't boo __PUNCT__ vote __PUNCT__

or we can recruit __NUM__ new math and scienc_teacher __PUNCT__ improv our earli __PUNCT__ childhood_educ educ_system __PUNCT__ provid job_train for __NUM___million worker at our commun_colleg __PUNCT__ work with colleg and univers to cut the growth of tuition cost __PUNCT__

we can meet those goal __PUNCT__

we can make sure that everi young_person here in lo_angel __PUNCT__ here in california __PUNCT__ here in the unit_state of america __PUNCT__ no matter what thei look like __PUNCT__ no matter where thei come from __PUNCT__ if thei will to work_hard __PUNCT__ thei can succe too __PUNCT__

that our goal __PUNCT__

that what we fight for __PUNCT__

we us the monei we save from end the war in iraq and afghanistan to pai down our deficit __PUNCT__ but also to put_peopl back to work rebuild road and bridg and school all across america __PUNCT__

and everi brave american who wear the uniform of thi countri should know that as long as i am command in chief __PUNCT__ we will sustain the strongest militari the world ha ever known __PUNCT__

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

let not just talk about honor our veteran __PUNCT__ let put our monei where our mouth is __PUNCT__

that why i run for a second term __PUNCT__

fifth __PUNCT__ we need to cut the deficit __PUNCT__ but we got to do it in an intellig wai __PUNCT__

i propos cut it by __MONEY___trillion over the next __NUM___year __PUNCT__ and i alreadi work with republican to cut a trillion_dollar of spend __PUNCT__

but we can't get thi done unless we also look at the other side of the ledger __PUNCT__

we don't cut our wai to prosper __PUNCT__

we got to ask the wealthiest among us to pai higher_tax on incom over __MONEY__ which is the same_rate we had when bill_clinton wa presid __PUNCT__ our economi creat nearli __NUM___million new job __PUNCT__ the biggest surplu in histori __PUNCT__ and a lot of millionair did well too __PUNCT__

becaus when we give tax_break to middl __PUNCT__ incom folk __PUNCT__ to lower incom folk __PUNCT__ thei spend it __PUNCT__

thei need to to pai the bill __PUNCT__ which mean busi end up with more custom __PUNCT__ thei make more profit __PUNCT__ and that mean thei hire more worker __PUNCT__

governor romnei said it fair that he pai a lower_tax tax_rate than a teacher or an autowork that make___MONEY__

i think he wrong __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

boo __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

don't boo __PUNCT__ vote __PUNCT__

i refus 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 who ar poor or elderli or disabl just to pai for tax_cut we can't afford __PUNCT__

and that the choic that we face in thi elect __PUNCT__

that what thi elect come down to __PUNCT__

over and over again __PUNCT__ we told 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 releas pollut into the air 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__ just borrow_monei from your parent __PUNCT__

that not who we ar __PUNCT__

that not what thi countri is about __PUNCT__

here in america __PUNCT__ we believ in individu initi and self __PUNCT__ relianc __PUNCT__ but we also believ there ar some thing we do togeth __PUNCT__

we understand america is not just about what can be done for us __PUNCT__

it about what can be done by us togeth __PUNCT__ as on nation __PUNCT__ as on peopl __PUNCT__

you understood that in __NUM__ __PUNCT__

it true even more so now in __NUM__ __PUNCT__

becaus of you __PUNCT__ we made progress __PUNCT__

you the reason there a littl girl with a heart disord in phoenix who get the surgeri she need becaus insur_compani can't limit her coverag __PUNCT__

you the reason a factori_worker who lost hi job in toledo is back on the line build the best car in the world __PUNCT__

you the reason a student here in l.a __PUNCT__ ha help pai for her colleg __PUNCT__

the reason a veteran can go to colleg on the new g.i __PUNCT__ bill __PUNCT__

you the reason 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 that an outstand soldier won't be kick out of the militari becaus of who thei ar or who thei love __PUNCT__

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

you the reason __PUNCT__

and if you turn_back now __PUNCT__ if you bui into the cynic that everyth that we fought for somehow isn't possibl __PUNCT__ then of cours __PUNCT__ chang won't happen __PUNCT__

if you give up on the idea that your voic can make a differ __PUNCT__ then other voic will fill the void __PUNCT__ the lobbyist and the special_interest and the folk who ar write __MONEY___million check to beat me and folk who ar try to keep __PUNCT__ make it harder for you to vote __PUNCT__ the politician in washington who want to control the health_care choic that women ar perfectli capabl of make themselv __PUNCT__

you got to make sure that your voic is heard __PUNCT__

onli you can make sure that those thing don't happen __PUNCT__

onli you got the power to move us forward __PUNCT__

i alwai said __PUNCT__ i said thi back in __NUM__ __PUNCT__ that chang __PUNCT__ real chang __PUNCT__ take time __PUNCT__

it take more than on term or on presid __PUNCT__

it take more than on parti __PUNCT__

it can't happen if you write off half the nation befor you even take offic __PUNCT__

back in __NUM__ everybodi alwai rememb the victori __PUNCT__ but thei don't alwai rememb the bump in the road __PUNCT__

thing alwai look good in retrospect __PUNCT__

but in the middl of it __PUNCT__ we were __PUNCT__ we made all kind of mistak __PUNCT__

we goof up __PUNCT__

i goof up __PUNCT__

but the american_peopl carri us forward __PUNCT__

and even with all the thing we had go for us __PUNCT__ all the wai that thing just kind of converg __PUNCT__ __NUM__ percent of the countri still didn't vote for me __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ i just want to point that out __PUNCT__

i not fight to improv school in red_state or blue_state __PUNCT__ i fight to improv school in the unit_state __PUNCT__

the valu we believ in don't belong to ani on group or on parti __PUNCT__ thei not black or white __PUNCT__ or asian or latino or nativ_american __PUNCT__ gai __PUNCT__ straight __PUNCT__ abl __PUNCT__ disabl __PUNCT__ thei ar american valu __PUNCT__ thei belong to all of us __PUNCT__
