that what we believ __PUNCT__

that why you elect me in __NUM__ __PUNCT__

and that why i run for a second term as presid of the unit_state of america __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

four more year __PUNCT__ four more year __PUNCT__ four more year __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ ohio __PUNCT__ in __NUM___dai __PUNCT__ you have a choic to make __PUNCT__

and by the wai __PUNCT__ i think you mai have notic that everybodi is pai a lot of attent to ohio __PUNCT__

and rightfulli so __PUNCT__

the __PUNCT__ thi is a choic not just between two candid or two parti __PUNCT__ it a choic between two fundament differ vision of america __PUNCT__

it a choic between go back to the top __PUNCT__ down polici that crash our economi or adapt the kind of polici that will make sure we got a strong and grow middl_class __PUNCT__

that the choic __PUNCT__

as american __PUNCT__ we honor the striver and the dreamer and the risk taker __PUNCT__ the entrepreneur __PUNCT__ the small __PUNCT__ busi peopl __PUNCT__

thei the folk who have alwai been the drive_forc behind our free_enterpris enterpris_system __PUNCT__ and it been the greatest engin of growth and prosper the world ha ever known __PUNCT__

but we also believ in thi countri that peopl succe __PUNCT__ peopl_start busi __PUNCT__ peopl_work well in busi when thei got a decent educ __PUNCT__ when thei get a chanc to learn new skill __PUNCT__ when we support research into medic breakthrough or new technolog __PUNCT__

we think america is stronger when we can count on afford health_care and medicar and social_secur __PUNCT__ when there ar rule to protect our kid from toxic dump and mercuri pollut __PUNCT__

we think the market_work better when consum ar protect from unscrupul practic in the credit_card industri or from mortgag lender __PUNCT__

and we believ that no politician in washington should control health_care choic that women can make for themselv __PUNCT__

these ar the thing we believ __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ for __NUM___year __PUNCT__ we had a presid who share our belief __PUNCT__ and hi name wa bill_clinton __PUNCT__

hi econom_plan ask the wealthiest american to pai a littl more so we could reduc our deficit and invest in the skill and idea of our peopl __PUNCT__

and at the time the republican_congress and a senat_candid by the name of mitt_romnei said that bill_clinton clinton_plan would hurt the economi and kill job __PUNCT__ it turn out the governor math wa just as bad back then as it wa todai __PUNCT__

becaus by the end of presid_clinton second term __PUNCT__ america had creat___NUM__ __NUM___million new job __PUNCT__ and incom were up __PUNCT__ and poverti wa down __PUNCT__ and we had the biggest surplu in our histori instead of deficit __PUNCT__

so we know the idea that we believ in work __PUNCT__

we know that their idea don't work __PUNCT__

for most of the last decad __PUNCT__ we tri what thei want to do __PUNCT__ give big tax_cut to the wealthiest american that we couldn't afford __PUNCT__

we tri give insur_compani and oil_compani and wall_street free rein to do whatev thei pleas __PUNCT__

and you know what we got __PUNCT__ fall incom __PUNCT__ record deficit __PUNCT__ the slowest job_growth in half a centuri __PUNCT__ and an econom_crisi that we been clean up after for the last __NUM___year __PUNCT__

so we know what we want to do work __PUNCT__

we know what thei want to do doesn't work __PUNCT__

we know what we want to do grow our middl_class __PUNCT__ what thei want to do squeez the middl class __PUNCT__

we know that our strategi make sure that we bring our deficit down in a balanc wai __PUNCT__ their strategi end up shoot the deficit up __PUNCT__

so we know what the right choic is __PUNCT__

but let face it __PUNCT__ governor romnei __PUNCT__ he a veri talent salesman __PUNCT__

in thi campaign he tri as hard as he can to repackag these same polici and offer them up as chang __PUNCT__

but we know what chang look like __PUNCT__ and what the governor is offer ain't it __PUNCT__

give more power back to the biggest_bank __PUNCT__ that not chang __PUNCT__

anoth __MONEY___trillion tax_cut that favor the wealthi __PUNCT__ that not chang __PUNCT__

refus to answer_question about the detail of your polici until after the elect __PUNCT__ that not chang __PUNCT__

we seen that befor __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ right __PUNCT__ we seen that befor __PUNCT__

rule out compromis by pledg to rubber __PUNCT__ stamp the tea_parti agenda in congress __PUNCT__ that not chang __PUNCT__

and by the wai __PUNCT__ when you try to chang the fact just becaus thei inconveni to your campaign __PUNCT__ that definit not chang __PUNCT__

try to massag the fact __PUNCT__ that not chang __PUNCT__

that just __PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ look __PUNCT__ we been see thi out of governor romnei and hi friend over the last few week right here in ohio __PUNCT__

you got folk who work at the jeep plant who have been call their employ worri __PUNCT__ ask is it true __PUNCT__ ar our job be ship to china __PUNCT__ and the reason thei make these call is becaus governor romnei ha been run an ad that sai so __PUNCT__

except it not true __PUNCT__

everybodi know it not true __PUNCT__

the car_compani themselv have told governor romnei to knock it off __PUNCT__

gm said __PUNCT__ we think creat_job in the unit_state should be a sourc of bipartisan pride __PUNCT__

and i couldn't agre more __PUNCT__

and i understand that governor romnei ha had a tough_time here in ohio becaus he wa against save the auto_industri __PUNCT__

and it hard to run awai from that posit when you on videotap sai the word __PUNCT__ let detroit go bankrupt __PUNCT__

and i know we close to an elect __PUNCT__

but thi isn't a game __PUNCT__

these ar peopl job __PUNCT__

these ar peopl_live __PUNCT__

these car_compani ar put a lot of effort to make great product __PUNCT__ but also to make sure that everybodi in america know how commit thei ar to make car here in america __PUNCT__

and so you don't scare hard __PUNCT__ work_american just to scare up some vote __PUNCT__

that not what be presid is all about __PUNCT__

that not leadership __PUNCT__

when i first made the decis to rescu the auto_industri __PUNCT__ i knew it wasn't popular __PUNCT__

and despit the fact that on out of eight job in ohio ar connect to the auto industri in some wai __PUNCT__ it wasn't even popular in ohio __PUNCT__

but i knew it wa the right thing to do __PUNCT__

i knew bet on american_worker wa the right thing to do __PUNCT__

bet on american ingenu and know __PUNCT__ how wa the right thing to do __PUNCT__

that paid off __PUNCT__

it paid off in lordstown __PUNCT__ where gm is invest hundr of million of dollar in their auto plant __PUNCT__

it paid off in toledo __PUNCT__ where chrysler is ad more than a thousand new job on a second shift __PUNCT__ not in china __PUNCT__ right here in ohio __PUNCT__ right here in unit_state of america __PUNCT__

and so on of the thing i hope when you talk to your friend and your neighbor __PUNCT__ thei try to make up their mind these last few dai __PUNCT__ think about that __PUNCT__

think about the issu of trust __PUNCT__ think about do you want a presid who is go to actual tell you what he believ and what he think or somebodi who is go to __PUNCT__ audienc member __PUNCT__

lie __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

and let me tell you __PUNCT__ when i hear folk sai hire more teacher won't help thi economi_grow __PUNCT__ thei ar wrong __PUNCT__

becaus if we got great teacher in the classroom __PUNCT__ that go to help our kid __PUNCT__ and it go to help our economi __PUNCT__

don't tell me that student who can't afford colleg should just borrow more monei from their parent __PUNCT__

that wasn't an option for me __PUNCT__ it wasn't an option for a lot of you __PUNCT__

that why i want to cut the growth of tuition in half over the next __NUM___year __PUNCT__

i want to recruit __NUM__ math and scienc_teacher so that our kid don't fall behind the rest of the world __PUNCT__

i want to train __NUM___million_american at our commun_colleg with skill that busi ar look for right now __PUNCT__

todai __PUNCT__ the great new about the auto_industri is we not just build car again __PUNCT__ we build better car __PUNCT__ innov car __PUNCT__ car that by the middl of the next decad will go twice as far on a gallon of ga __PUNCT__

and by the wai __PUNCT__ here in ohio __PUNCT__ it not just car that we start to manufactur again __PUNCT__

we build long __PUNCT__ last batteri and wind_turbin all across ohio __PUNCT__ all across the countri __PUNCT__

we got to keep our cut __PUNCT__ edg technolog and research and innov and invest __PUNCT__

and i don't want a tax_code that subsid oil_compani compani_profit when thei make_monei hand over fist __PUNCT__ i want to support the energi job of tomorrow __PUNCT__ the new technolog that will help cut our oil import in half __PUNCT__

and i don't want a tax_code that reward compani for creat those job_oversea __PUNCT__ i want to reward compani that ar creat_job in manufactur right here in the unit_state of america __PUNCT__

that my plan __PUNCT__

that what real chang is __PUNCT__

chang is turn the page on a decad of war so we can do some nation __PUNCT__ build here at home __PUNCT__

as long as i command __PUNCT__ in __PUNCT__ chief __PUNCT__ we will pursu our enemi with the strongest militari that the world ever known __PUNCT__

but it time to us the save from end the war in iraq and wind down the war in afghanistan to pai down our debt and rebuild america __PUNCT__ repair road and bridg and school all across ohio __PUNCT__ all across america __PUNCT__

and let especi focu on put our veteran back to work as thei come home __PUNCT__

we need to serv them as well as thei serv us __PUNCT__

nobodi who fight for thi countri should have to fight for a job when thei come home __PUNCT__

that what at stake in thi elect __PUNCT__

that my commit __PUNCT__

chang is a futur where we do reduc our deficit __PUNCT__ but we do it in a balanc __PUNCT__ respons wai __PUNCT__

i alreadi sign a trillion_dollar __PUNCT__ worth of spend_cut __PUNCT__ i intend to do more __PUNCT__

but if we seriou about the deficit __PUNCT__ we also have to ask the wealthiest american to go back to the rate that thei paid when bill_clinton wa in offic __PUNCT__

becaus if i not pai a littl bit more __PUNCT__ and governor romnei is not pai a littl bit more __PUNCT__ then the choic is to start cut out help for young_peopl try to go to school __PUNCT__

it to hurt folk who ar vulner and depend on thing like medicaid __PUNCT__

as long as i presid __PUNCT__ i will never turn medicar into a voucher just to pai for anoth millionair tax_cut __PUNCT__

i not go to make it more expens for some young_person who is work_hard try to go to school __PUNCT__

i not go to make them pai more just so i get a tax_break that i don't need __PUNCT__

i not go to cut out some research grant to some outstand young scientist that could have the next discoveri for cancer just becaus i want a tax_cut that i don't need __PUNCT__

that not who we ar __PUNCT__

that not what chang is __PUNCT__

we know what the futur requir __PUNCT__ and we know it won't be easi __PUNCT__

back in __NUM__ i told some of you __PUNCT__ i said __PUNCT__ look __PUNCT__ i not just talk about chang presid or chang polit_parti in washington __PUNCT__

thei spent million try to stop us from reform the health_care_system __PUNCT__

thei spent million try to keep us from reform wall_street __PUNCT__

thei engin a strategi of gridlock in congress __PUNCT__ refus to compromis on idea that both democrat and republican in the past have support __PUNCT__

but as long as i presid __PUNCT__ i said i will work with anybodi of ani parti to move thi countri forward __PUNCT__

if you want to break the gridlock in congress __PUNCT__ you vote for leader who feel the same wai whether thei democrat __PUNCT__ republican __PUNCT__ or independ __PUNCT__

but i not just go to cut a deal that kick student off of financi_aid or get rid of fund for plan_parenthood or let insur_compani discrimin against peopl with preexist condit or elimin health_care for million on medicaid who ar poor or elderli or disabl __PUNCT__
