that how we creat growth and prosper __PUNCT__ the greatest the world ha ever known __PUNCT__

and we believ in politician who understand that there some thing the american_peopl can do better for themselv __PUNCT__ for exampl __PUNCT__ that politician in washington __PUNCT__ mostli men __PUNCT__ shouldn't be control health_care choic that women can make perfectli well for themselv __PUNCT__

for __NUM___year __PUNCT__ we had a presid who share these belief __PUNCT__ a gui name bill_clinton __PUNCT__

and so our belief were put to the test __PUNCT__

hi econom_plan ask the wealthiest american to pai a littl bit more so we could continu to invest in our peopl __PUNCT__ continu to invest in idea and innov __PUNCT__ invest in our infrastructur __PUNCT__

and at the time __PUNCT__ the republican_congress and a senat_candid by the name of mitt_romnei __PUNCT__ audienc member __PUNCT__

no __PUNCT__ no __PUNCT__ no __PUNCT__ don't boo __PUNCT__ vote __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ applaus __PUNCT__ vote __PUNCT__ vote is the best reveng __PUNCT__

but at the time __PUNCT__ mitt romnei said bill_clinton clinton_plan would hurt the economi and kill job __PUNCT__

it turn out __PUNCT__ hi math back then wa just as bad as it is todai __PUNCT__

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

so our idea were tri and test __PUNCT__ and thei work __PUNCT__

their idea were also tri __PUNCT__ and thei didn't work out so well __PUNCT__

becaus rememb __PUNCT__ in the __NUM___year after bill_clinton left_offic __PUNCT__ thei tri thi top __PUNCT__ down econom __PUNCT__ thei tri thi you __PUNCT__ on __PUNCT__ your __PUNCT__ own econom __PUNCT__

we tri give big tax_cut to the wealthiest american __PUNCT__

we tri give insur_compani and oil_compani and big wall_street_bank a free licens to do whatev thei pleas __PUNCT__

we tri it __PUNCT__

and what did we get __PUNCT__ we got fall incom __PUNCT__ record deficit __PUNCT__ the slowest job_growth in half a centuri __PUNCT__ and we end up with an econom_crisi that we been clean up after ever sinc __PUNCT__

so we tri our idea __PUNCT__ thei work __PUNCT__

we tri their idea __PUNCT__ didn't work __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ governor romnei __PUNCT__ he a veri gift salesman __PUNCT__

so he been try in thi campaign __PUNCT__ as hard as he can __PUNCT__ to repackag these idea that didn't work __PUNCT__ the veri same polici that did not work __PUNCT__ and he try to pretend that thei chang __PUNCT__

have you heard him __PUNCT__ he go around sai __PUNCT__ i the candid of chang __PUNCT__

except when you look at the polici __PUNCT__ thei the same on that didn't work __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ the thing is __PUNCT__ we know what chang look like __PUNCT__ and what he sell ain't it __PUNCT__

give more power to the biggest_bank __PUNCT__ that not chang __PUNCT__

anoth __MONEY___trillion tax_cut that favor the wealthi is not chang __PUNCT__

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

rule out compromis __PUNCT__ pledg to rubberstamp the tea_parti agenda in congress __PUNCT__ that not chang __PUNCT__

that exactli what we need to chang __PUNCT__

kind of massag the fact when thei inconveni to your campaign __PUNCT__ that definit not chang __PUNCT__

that the oldest trick in the book __PUNCT__

that what governor romnei ha been do these last few week __PUNCT__

you been see it __PUNCT__

right here in ohio __PUNCT__ folk who work at the jeep plant have been have to call up their employ becaus thei worri __PUNCT__ thei ask if their job ar be ship to china __PUNCT__

and the reason thei worri is becaus thei saw ad run by governor romnei sai jeep plant were go to be ship job to china __PUNCT__

of cours __PUNCT__ it turn out __PUNCT__ it not true __PUNCT__

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

__PUNCT__ applaus __PUNCT__ knock it off __PUNCT__

that what thei said __PUNCT__

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

that what thei said __PUNCT__ and thei right __PUNCT__

i couldn't agre more __PUNCT__

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

and the auto industri account for on out of eight job here in ohio __PUNCT__

so i get that it a problem for him __PUNCT__

but you can't run awai __PUNCT__ __NUM___dai __PUNCT__ __NUM__ dai __PUNCT__ __NUM__ dai befor an elect __PUNCT__ run awai from that posit __PUNCT__ especi when you on videotap sai the word __PUNCT__ let detroit go bankrupt __PUNCT__

you said it __PUNCT__

and you can't try to scare peopl __PUNCT__

listen __PUNCT__ thi is not a game __PUNCT__

these ar peopl job __PUNCT__

these ar peopl_live __PUNCT__

the auto_industri __PUNCT__ thei spend a lot of monei advertis and brand and let folk know that we back and we here in america and we make american car with american_worker __PUNCT__

and now __PUNCT__ suddenli __PUNCT__ you got a gui go out there sai someth that not true __PUNCT__ you don't scare hardwork american just to scare up some vote __PUNCT__

that not what be presid is about __PUNCT__

when i first made the decis to rescu the auto_industri __PUNCT__ some of you don't rememb thi __PUNCT__ but it wa not veri popular __PUNCT__

even in ohio and michigan __PUNCT__ it wasn't popular __PUNCT__ but i knew it wa the right thing to do __PUNCT__

bet on american_worker wa the right thing to do __PUNCT__

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

and that bet paid off __PUNCT__ and it paid off in lordstown __PUNCT__ and it paid off in toledo __PUNCT__

thei creat new job right now __PUNCT__ not in china __PUNCT__ right here in ohio __PUNCT__ right here in the unit_state of america __PUNCT__

it wa the right thing to do __PUNCT__

the race to the top program that we put togeth __PUNCT__ thi is on of the winner of race to the top __PUNCT__ right __PUNCT__ thi school right here __PUNCT__

so we know how to rais standard and recruit great teacher and becom more creativ in the classroom __PUNCT__

and our kid ar go to succe __PUNCT__

but you can't tell me that more teacher won't help grow our economi __PUNCT__

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

that wasn't an option for me __PUNCT__ probabl 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__

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

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

but it time we us some of the save from end the war to pai down our debt __PUNCT__ rebuild america __PUNCT__ put folk back to work right now repair road and bridg __PUNCT__ school all across thi countri __PUNCT__

and let put our veteran back to work __PUNCT__ becaus anybodi who serv us __PUNCT__ protect us __PUNCT__ fought for our freedom should not have to fight for a job when thei come home __PUNCT__

that should be our prioriti __PUNCT__

i sign a trillion_dollar __PUNCT__ worth of spend_cut __PUNCT__ i readi to do more __PUNCT__

i will work with democrat and republican __PUNCT__

but if we seriou about reduc the deficit __PUNCT__ we also got to ask folk like me __PUNCT__ the wealthiest american in the countri __PUNCT__ to go back to pai_tax at the same_rate when bill_clinton wa in offic __PUNCT__

millionair and billionair __PUNCT__ thei not go to be go to the poorhous becaus thei paid a slightli higher_tax tax_rate __PUNCT__

thei be fine __PUNCT__

thei engin a strategi of gridlock in washington __PUNCT__ refus to compromis on anyth __PUNCT__ even on idea that both democrat and republican had support in the past __PUNCT__
