at the time __PUNCT__ we didn't know what sort of a presid he would make __PUNCT__

it wa a moment of crisi for our economi __PUNCT__ and when barack_obama came to offic __PUNCT__ we wish him well and hope for the best __PUNCT__

thei in their earli forti __PUNCT__ a coupl who had work_hard __PUNCT__ sacrif to bui a home in a good neighborhood __PUNCT__ the sort of place thei want their daughter alli to grow up __PUNCT__

but now that neighborhood is be crush by thi obama economi __PUNCT__

first their neighbor start lose their job __PUNCT__ and then their home __PUNCT__

and all around them now ar abandon hous __PUNCT__ and abandon dream __PUNCT__

when the tyler wake up in the morn and get alli off to school and then go to work and do everyth thei can to make it to the end of the month and hold their live togeth __PUNCT__ it doesn't matter if thei ar republican or democrat __PUNCT__ independ or __PUNCT__ libertarian __PUNCT__

thei just american __PUNCT__

an american_famili __PUNCT__

and across the richest __PUNCT__ greatest countri on earth __PUNCT__ there ar million of american famili like the tyler __PUNCT__

folk who grew up believ that if thei plai by the rule __PUNCT__ work_hard __PUNCT__ that thei would have the chanc to build a good_life __PUNCT__ with steadi work and alwai that possibl to work a littl harder and get ahead __PUNCT__

and in that america __PUNCT__ you don't wonder if your children will have a better life __PUNCT__

you know thei will __PUNCT__

you know it the same wai we know that tomorrow morn the sun is go to come up in the east right over thi field __PUNCT__

that confid in a better tomorrow defin us as american __PUNCT__

when gener of immigr look up and saw the statu of liberti for the first time __PUNCT__ thei sure had mani question and doubt about the life befor them __PUNCT__ but on thing thei knew without a doubt is that thei were come to a place where anyth wa possibl __PUNCT__ that in america __PUNCT__ their children would have a better life __PUNCT__

i believ in that america __PUNCT__

i know you believ in that america __PUNCT__

it is an america of freedom and opportun __PUNCT__

a nation where innov and hard_work propel the most power economi in the world __PUNCT__

a land that is secur by the greatest militari the world ha ever seen __PUNCT__ and by friend and alli across the globe __PUNCT__

presid_obama see a differ america and ha taken us in a differ direct __PUNCT__

a few month into offic __PUNCT__ he travel around the globe to apolog for america __PUNCT__

at a time of histor chang and great opportun in the arab_world __PUNCT__ he is hesit and uncertain __PUNCT__

he hesit to speak out for the dissid in iran __PUNCT__ but hi administr boast that he is __PUNCT__ lead from behind __PUNCT__ in libya __PUNCT__

he speak with firm and clariti __PUNCT__ howev __PUNCT__ when it come to israel __PUNCT__

he seem firmli and clearli determin to undermin our longtim_friend and alli __PUNCT__

he treat israel the same wai so mani european_countri have __PUNCT__ with suspicion __PUNCT__ distrust and an assumpt that israel is at fault __PUNCT__

to hi credit __PUNCT__ the presid order the raid that kill osama_bin_laden __PUNCT__

in afghanistan __PUNCT__ the surg wa right __PUNCT__ announc a withdraw date wa wrong __PUNCT__

the taliban mai not have watch __PUNCT__ but thei do have calendar __PUNCT__

here at home __PUNCT__ the presid seem to take hi inspir not from the small_town and villag of new hampshir but from the capit of europ __PUNCT__

with the economi in crisi __PUNCT__ hi answer is to borrow_monei we can't afford and throw it at washington bureaucrat and politician __PUNCT__

just like europ __PUNCT__

instead of encourag entrepreneur and employ __PUNCT__ he rais their tax __PUNCT__ pile on record __PUNCT__ break mound of regul and bureaucraci and give more power to union_boss __PUNCT__

instead of recogn the state right author to solv_problem __PUNCT__ he seiz_power from them and ram through a disastr nation_health health_care_plan __PUNCT__

thi presid first answer to everi problem is to take power from you __PUNCT__ your local_govern and your state so that so __PUNCT__ call __PUNCT__ expert __PUNCT__ in washington can make those choic for you __PUNCT__

and with each of these decis __PUNCT__ we lose more of our freedom __PUNCT__

you and i understand thi __PUNCT__

we look at our countri __PUNCT__ and we know in our heart that thing aren't right __PUNCT__ and thei not get better __PUNCT__

presid_obama european answer ar not the right solut to america challeng __PUNCT__

my work led me to becom deepli involv in help other busi __PUNCT__ from innov startup to larg_compani go through tough_time __PUNCT__

sometim i wa success and help creat_job __PUNCT__ other time i wa not __PUNCT__

i learn how america compet with compani in other countri __PUNCT__ what work in the real_world and what doesn't __PUNCT__

i left my busi in __NUM__ to help put the salt_lake_citi olymp back on track __PUNCT__

and when the game were over __PUNCT__ i came home to massachusett and serv as governor __PUNCT__

i never held offic befor but i went at it like i ran busi and the olymp __PUNCT__ ask tough_question and take on the toughest problem first __PUNCT__ becaus thei onli get wors __PUNCT__

when i took offic __PUNCT__ i face a nearli __MONEY___billion budget hole __PUNCT__

the expect wa that we have to rais_tax but i refus __PUNCT__

i order a review of all state_spend __PUNCT__ made tough choic and balanc the budget without rais_tax __PUNCT__

that sent a messag that busi as usual wa over __PUNCT__

over the next four year __PUNCT__ we consolid agenc __PUNCT__ cut program __PUNCT__ sold state properti and cut_tax nineteen time __PUNCT__

the state wa give awai over a billion_dollar in free health_care __PUNCT__ much of it to peopl who could have paid someth but were game the system __PUNCT__

you won't be surpris that a lot of democrat thought we should be give awai even more __PUNCT__

i took it on and hammer out a solut that took a bad situat and made it better __PUNCT__

not perfect but it wa a state_solut for a state problem __PUNCT__

at the end of four year __PUNCT__ it took over __NUM__ veto but we balanc everi budget __PUNCT__ restor a __MONEY___billion billion_dollar raini dai fund and kept our school first among all __NUM___state __PUNCT__

all of these experi __PUNCT__ start and run busi for __NUM___year __PUNCT__ turn around the olymp __PUNCT__ govern a state __PUNCT__ have help shape who i am and how i lead __PUNCT__

of cours __PUNCT__ if i ran through a list of all my mistak __PUNCT__ ann would find it hilari __PUNCT__ and we be here all night __PUNCT__

i will cap feder_spend at __NUM__ __PUNCT__ or less of the gdp and final __PUNCT__ final balanc the budget __PUNCT__

i will insist that washington learn to respect the constitut __PUNCT__ includ the __NUM___amend __PUNCT__

from my first dai in offic my number on job will be to see that america onc again is number on in job_creation __PUNCT__

you know __PUNCT__ if you want to creat_job __PUNCT__ it help to have had a job __PUNCT__

i will make busi tax competit with other nation __PUNCT__ modern regul and bureaucraci and final promot america trade interest __PUNCT__

it time for a presid who care more about america worker than he doe about america union_boss __PUNCT__

over the last thirti_year __PUNCT__ i can't tell you how mani time i heard a situat is hopeless __PUNCT__

but i never been veri good at listen to those peopl and i alwai enjoi prove them wrong __PUNCT__

it on of the lesson i learn from my dad __PUNCT__

my father never graduat from colleg __PUNCT__

he apprent __PUNCT__ as a lath and plaster carpent __PUNCT__ and he wa darn good at it __PUNCT__

he learn how to put a hand of nail in hi mouth and spit them out __PUNCT__ point forward __PUNCT__

on their honeymoon __PUNCT__ he and mom drove across the countri __PUNCT__

dad sold aluminum paint along the wai __PUNCT__ to pai for ga and hotel __PUNCT__

there were a lot reason my father could have given up or set hi sight lower __PUNCT__

but dad alwai believ in america __PUNCT__ and in that america __PUNCT__ a lath and plaster man could work hi wai up to run a littl car_compani compani_call call_american motor __PUNCT__ and end up governor of a state where he had onc sold aluminum paint __PUNCT__

for my dad __PUNCT__ america wa the land of opportun __PUNCT__ where the circumst of birth ar no barrier to achiev on dream __PUNCT__

small_busi and entrepreneur were encourag __PUNCT__ and respect __PUNCT__ and a good worker could almost alwai find a good_job __PUNCT__

the spirit of enterpris __PUNCT__ innov __PUNCT__ pioneer and can __PUNCT__ do propel our standard of live and economi past everi other nation on earth __PUNCT__

i refus to believ that america is just anoth place on the map with a flag __PUNCT__

we stand for freedom and opportun and hope __PUNCT__

these last two year have not been the best of time __PUNCT__

but while we lost a coupl of year __PUNCT__ we have not lost our wai __PUNCT__

the principl that made us a great_nation and leader of the world have not lost their mean __PUNCT__
