and our deficit becam the biggest surplu in our histori __PUNCT__

don't tell me that student who can't afford colleg should just borrow_monei from their parent __PUNCT__
that wasn't an option for me __PUNCT__ and i bet it wasn't an option for a whole lot of you __PUNCT__
we shouldn't be end colleg tax_credit to pai for millionair __PUNCT__ tax_cut __PUNCT__ we should be make colleg more afford for everyon who will to work for it __PUNCT__
we should recruit __NUM__ math and scienc_teacher so that high __PUNCT__ tech __PUNCT__ high __PUNCT__ wage_job aren't creat in china __PUNCT__ thei creat right here in green_bai __PUNCT__ wisconsin __PUNCT__
we should work with commun_colleg to train anoth __NUM___million_american with skill that busi ar look for right now __PUNCT__
that my plan for the futur __PUNCT__

that the america we fight for in thi elect __PUNCT__

some of the busi we encourag will fail __PUNCT__ but i promis you thi __PUNCT__ there is a futur for manufactur here in america __PUNCT__
there is a futur for clean_energi here in america __PUNCT__
and i refus to cede that futur to other countri __PUNCT__
i don't want tax_code reward compani for creat_job job_oversea __PUNCT__ i want to reward compani that creat_job here in america __PUNCT__
i don't want a tax_code that subsid oil_compani compani_profit __PUNCT__ i want to support the energi job of tomorrow and the new technolog that will cut our oil import in half __PUNCT__
that my plan for job and growth __PUNCT__
that the futur of america that i see __PUNCT__
chang is final turn the page on a decad of war to do some nation __PUNCT__ build here at home __PUNCT__
so long as i command in chief __PUNCT__ we will pursu our enemi with the strongest militari the world ever known __PUNCT__
but it time to us the save from end the war in iraq and afghanistan to start pai down our debt here and rebuild america __PUNCT__
right now we can put_peopl back to work fix up road and bridg __PUNCT__
right now we can expand broadband into rural neighborhood and make sure our school ar state of the art __PUNCT__
let put american back to work do the work that need to be done __PUNCT__
and let especi focu on our veteran __PUNCT__ becaus no on who fight for thi countri should have to fight for a job or a roof over their head or the care that thei need when thei come home __PUNCT__
that my plan to keep us strong __PUNCT__
that my commit to you __PUNCT__
and that what at stake in thi elect __PUNCT__
chang is a futur where we reduc our deficit in a wai that balanc and respons __PUNCT__
i sign a trillion_dollar __PUNCT__ worth of spend_cut __PUNCT__
i intend to do more __PUNCT__
and i work with both parti to streamlin agenc and get rid of program that don't work __PUNCT__
but if we seriou about the deficit __PUNCT__ we also got to ask the wealthiest american to go back to the tax_rate thei paid when bill_clinton wa in offic __PUNCT__
becaus as long as i presid __PUNCT__ i will never turn medicar into a voucher just to pai for anoth millionair tax_cut __PUNCT__
i will never allow thi nation to be plung into anoth battl over health_care_reform just so insur_compani can jump_back into the driver seat __PUNCT__
and i will never allow politician in washington to control health_care choic that women should be make for themselv __PUNCT__
so __PUNCT__ wisconsin __PUNCT__ we know what chang is __PUNCT__
we know what the futur requir __PUNCT__
we don't need a big_govern agenda or a small_govern agenda __PUNCT__ we need a middl_class agenda that reward hard_work and respons __PUNCT__
we don't need a partisan agenda __PUNCT__ we need a commonsens agenda that sai when we educ a poor child __PUNCT__ we all be better off __PUNCT__ that sai when we fund the research of a young scientist __PUNCT__ her new discoveri will benefit everi american __PUNCT__
we need a vision that sai we don't just look out for ourselv __PUNCT__ we look out for on anoth other __PUNCT__ we look out for futur_gener __PUNCT__ and we meet those oblig by work togeth __PUNCT__
that the chang we believ in __PUNCT__
that what thi elect is all about __PUNCT__
now __PUNCT__ let be clear __PUNCT__ achiev thi agenda won't be easi __PUNCT__
it never been easi __PUNCT__
we alwai knew that __PUNCT__
back in __NUM__ when we talk about chang __PUNCT__ i told you i wasn't just talk about chang presid __PUNCT__
i wasn't just talk about chang parti __PUNCT__
i wa talk about chang our polit __PUNCT__
i ran becaus the voic of the american_peopl __PUNCT__ your voic __PUNCT__ had been shut out of our democraci for wai too long __PUNCT__ by lobbyist and special_interest and politician who believ that compromis is somehow a dirti word __PUNCT__ by folk who would sai anyth to win offic and do anyth to stai there __PUNCT__
the protector of the statu_quo ar a power_forc in washington __PUNCT__
and over the last __NUM___year __PUNCT__ everi time we tri to make a chang __PUNCT__ thei fought_back with everyth thei got __PUNCT__
thei spent million to stop us from reform health_care and wall_street and student_loan __PUNCT__
and their strategi from the start wa to engin pure gridlock in congress __PUNCT__ refus to compromis on idea that both democrat and republican had support in the past __PUNCT__
and what thei count on now __PUNCT__ wisconsin __PUNCT__ is that the american_peopl will be so worn down by all the squabbl __PUNCT__ so tire of all the dysfunct __PUNCT__ that you actual reward obstruct and put_peopl back in charg who advoc the veri polici that got us into thi mess __PUNCT__
audienc member __PUNCT__
no __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__
in other word __PUNCT__ their bet is on cynic __PUNCT__
but __PUNCT__ wisconsin __PUNCT__ my bet is on you __PUNCT__
my bet is on the decenc and good_sens of the america peopl __PUNCT__ becaus despit all the resist __PUNCT__ despit all the setback __PUNCT__ we won some great fight __PUNCT__
and i never lost_sight of the vision we share __PUNCT__ that you would have a voic __PUNCT__ that there would be somebodi at the tabl fight everi singl_dai for middl_class class_american who work_hard __PUNCT__
sometim __PUNCT__ republican in congress have work with me to meet our goal __PUNCT__ to cut_tax for small_busi and famili like your __PUNCT__ to open new market for american good or final repeal __PUNCT__ don't ask __PUNCT__ don't tell __PUNCT__
and sometim we had big fight __PUNCT__ fight that were worth have __PUNCT__ like when we forc the bank to stop overcharg for student_loan and made colleg more afford for million __PUNCT__
like when we forc wall_street to abid by the toughest rule sinc the 1930 __PUNCT__
like when we stop insur_compani from discrimin against american with preexist condit like cancer or diabet so that nobodi in america goe bankrupt just becaus thei get sick __PUNCT__
i didn't fight those fight for ani partisan advantag __PUNCT__
i shown my willing to work with anybodi of ani parti to move thi countri forward __PUNCT__
and if you want to break the gridlock in congress __PUNCT__ you vote for leader __PUNCT__ whether thei ar democrat __PUNCT__ republican __PUNCT__ or independ __PUNCT__ who feel the same wai __PUNCT__
but if the price of peac in washington is cut deal that will kick student off of financi_aid or get rid of fund for plan_parenthood or elimin health_care for million on medicaid who ar poor or elderli or disabl just to give a millionair a tax_cut __PUNCT__ i not have it __PUNCT__
that not a deal worth have __PUNCT__
that not bipartisanship __PUNCT__
that not chang __PUNCT__
that surrend to the same statu_quo that ha hurt middl_class class_famili for wai too long __PUNCT__
and i not readi to give up on that fight __PUNCT__
i hope you aren't either __PUNCT__ wisconsin __PUNCT__
audienc member __PUNCT__
