audienc member __PUNCT__

we got your back __PUNCT__ mr __PUNCT__ presid __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

and i got your __PUNCT__

becaus as small and as petti as polit can sometim seem __PUNCT__ the stake thi year could not be bigger __PUNCT__

in a lot of wai __PUNCT__ the stake ar bigger than thei were back in __NUM__ becaus we face a choic between two veri differ vision for thi countri __PUNCT__

and the choic between these two path for our countri ultim is go to be up to you __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ thi is my last polit_campaign __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

aww __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

no __PUNCT__ michel is veri happi about that __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ let me tell you __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

we love michel __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

but __PUNCT__ i know you all love michel __PUNCT__

i know that __PUNCT__

but sinc thi is my last campaign __PUNCT__ it got me a littl nostalg about my first campaign __PUNCT__

i think about the place i us to travel in illinoi __PUNCT__ vfw hall and diner __PUNCT__ and we go to small_town __PUNCT__ and we go to big_citi __PUNCT__

and you meet folk from everi walk of life __PUNCT__ black __PUNCT__ white __PUNCT__ hispan __PUNCT__ asian __PUNCT__ nativ_american __PUNCT__ gai __PUNCT__ straight __PUNCT__ disabl __PUNCT__ not __PUNCT__ you name it __PUNCT__

and everywher i went __PUNCT__ what wa interest wa that for all the differ __PUNCT__ there wa someth everybodi had in common __PUNCT__ and in peopl_live i see my own life __PUNCT__

i meet an older vet __PUNCT__ and i think about my grandfath and my grandmoth __PUNCT__ part of that world_war_ii gener __PUNCT__ my grandfath fight in world_war_ii __PUNCT__ then come home __PUNCT__ and my grandmoth __PUNCT__ who had been work on a bomber assembl_line __PUNCT__ thei were abl to go to colleg on the gi_bill __PUNCT__ and how thei were abl to bui their first home with an fha mortgag __PUNCT__

and i thought about my mom __PUNCT__ becaus if i see a singl_mom __PUNCT__ i think about how challeng it wa for her to rais me without a dad and rais my sister without a dad __PUNCT__ but __PUNCT__ how she wa abl to put herself through school and work at the same_time and give her child the best educ thi countri had to offer __PUNCT__

and i think about michel famili __PUNCT__

i meet a famili __PUNCT__ and it didn't matter whether it wa some rural_area or small_town __PUNCT__ you meet folk who remind me of michel dad __PUNCT__ who had multipl sclerosi __PUNCT__ could bare walk by the time i met him __PUNCT__ but never miss a dai of work __PUNCT__ work a blue __PUNCT__ collar_job __PUNCT__

and michel mom stai at home until the kid got old enough and then becam a secretari at a bank __PUNCT__ and she work as a secretari all her life __PUNCT__

and thei never had a lot __PUNCT__

but thei had a lot of love __PUNCT__

and thei had strong valu __PUNCT__

and thei had disciplin __PUNCT__

and that why michel and her brother could go on and achiev thing that their parent couldn't even imagin __PUNCT__

and what i realiz dure that first campaign and all the campaign after that wa that our live all were a testament to that fundament american_idea __PUNCT__ the idea that no matter who you ar __PUNCT__ no matter what you look like __PUNCT__ no matter where you come from __PUNCT__ no matter what your last name is __PUNCT__ you can make it if you try __PUNCT__

thi countri ha never been full of folk look for handout __PUNCT__

we a nation of worker and doer and dreamer __PUNCT__

we work_hard for what we get __PUNCT__

and all we ask for is that our hard_work pai off __PUNCT__ that our respons is reward __PUNCT__ that if we will to put in the effort __PUNCT__ we can find a job that support a famili and be abl to get a home we can call our own __PUNCT__ we won't go bankrupt when we get sick __PUNCT__ take a littl vacat onc in a while __PUNCT__ send our kid to colleg and let them do thing so much bigger than what we did __PUNCT__ and then retir with some digniti and some respect __PUNCT__ and be part of a commun and a neighborhood and a nation that look after it own __PUNCT__

that basic bargain is what built the biggest middl_class we ever seen __PUNCT__

that basic bargain is what made us an econom superpow __PUNCT__

that basic bargain is what made us the envi of the world __PUNCT__

and in __NUM__ we came togeth __PUNCT__ not just democrat __PUNCT__ we had independ __PUNCT__ we had republican __PUNCT__ all who recogn that that basic bargain wa start to frai __PUNCT__ that it wa get weaker __PUNCT__

we gone through a decad that had seen wage and incom not go up __PUNCT__ job_growth sluggish __PUNCT__ surplus turn into deficit __PUNCT__

that middl_class dream seem like it wa slip awai for too mani peopl __PUNCT__

and then just as the campaign wa be complet and just as we were make some histori __PUNCT__ what we realiz wa we go through the worst financi_crisi and econom_crisi sinc the great_depress __PUNCT__

we knew that turn thi thing around would not be easi __PUNCT__

we knew it wa go to take more than __NUM___year or on term or mayb even on presid __PUNCT__

and thi crisi ha been tough on a lot of folk and a lot of famili __PUNCT__

it rob million of hard __PUNCT__ work_american their livelihood __PUNCT__ their home __PUNCT__ their save __PUNCT__

it push the american_dream __PUNCT__ that basic bargain __PUNCT__ even further out of reach for too mani peopl __PUNCT__

but you know what __PUNCT__ that crisi didn't chang who we ar or what we believ in __PUNCT__

it didn't chang our charact as a countri __PUNCT__

it hasn't chang why we came togeth in __NUM__ __PUNCT__

our mission right now is to put_peopl back to work and recov from thi recess __PUNCT__

but it more than that __PUNCT__

it is also about how we restor that basic bargain that everi american believ in __PUNCT__ that if you work_hard you can get ahead __PUNCT__

our goal is an economi where hard_work pai off __PUNCT__ an economi where everybodi __PUNCT__ whether you start a busi or you punch a clock __PUNCT__ everybodi can have confid that thei can make it __PUNCT__

that what the campaign in __NUM__ wa about __PUNCT__

that what thi campaign is about __PUNCT__

that is the reason i am 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__ let me just sai thi __PUNCT__

for all the work that we done __PUNCT__ as tim kain talk about __PUNCT__ creat more than 4½ million_job __PUNCT__ make sure that we bring manufactur back to our shore __PUNCT__ restor our auto_industri so it number on again __PUNCT__ get health_care pass __PUNCT__ for all the work that we done __PUNCT__ we got a lot more work to do __PUNCT__

and what hold us back from meet these big challeng is not the lack of technic solut __PUNCT__ it not the lack of big_idea __PUNCT__

the problem is we got a stalem in thi countri __PUNCT__ at least we got a stalem in washington __PUNCT__

actual __PUNCT__ when you talk to ordinari_peopl __PUNCT__ thei see common_sens __PUNCT__ but appar it harder to recogn in washington __PUNCT__

so we got a choic __PUNCT__

the outcom will determin not just how thing go a year from now or __NUM___year from now or __NUM__ year from now __PUNCT__ but mayb __NUM__ or __NUM__ or __NUM__ year from now __PUNCT__

my oppon and hi alli in congress __PUNCT__ thei believ that prosper come from the top down __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

boo __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

no __PUNCT__ look __PUNCT__ i mean __PUNCT__ thi is what democraci is about __PUNCT__

we go to have a debat about how to grow thi economi and help build a strong middl_class __PUNCT__

and thei believ that happen from the top down __PUNCT__

thei believ that if we spend trillion of dollar more on tax_cut for the wealthi __PUNCT__ if we elimin regul that protect_consum __PUNCT__ make sure insur_compani can't take advantag of you __PUNCT__ that we elimin regul that protect our air and our water and make sure our children ar healthi __PUNCT__ if we do those thing __PUNCT__ then somehow even if we have to pai for it by gut educ or mayb rais_tax on middl_class class_famili or elimin train_program __PUNCT__ that somehow we go to be better off __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

no __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

that their theori __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ here the problem __PUNCT__

thei tri it __PUNCT__

thi countri tri that for the decad befor i took offic __PUNCT__ and it didn't work __PUNCT__

we ar still pai trillion of dollar in tax_cut for folk who didn't need them and weren't even ask for them __PUNCT__ and it didn't lead to better job or better wage for the middl_class __PUNCT__

the lack of regul and rule on wall_street wa exactli what allow peopl to take reckless shortcut that result in the crisi we still deal with __PUNCT__

so we don't need more top __PUNCT__ down econom __PUNCT__

that my belief __PUNCT__

that my view __PUNCT__

we need somebodi who go to fight for the middl_class __PUNCT__

i believ that how you grow the economi __PUNCT__ from the middl out __PUNCT__ from the bottom up __PUNCT__ look after work_peopl and make sure thei got opportun __PUNCT__

that what i been fight for sinc i got into thi offic __PUNCT__

that what i be fight for as long as i have the privileg of be your presid __PUNCT__

in the last campaign __PUNCT__ i promis to cut_tax for the middl_class __PUNCT__ and i kept that promis __PUNCT__

we cut_tax by about __MONEY__ for the typic famili __PUNCT__

four year later __PUNCT__ i run to keep middl_class tax low __PUNCT__

thi week __PUNCT__ i call on congress to immedi extend these tax_cut on everybodi who is make___MONEY__ a year or less __PUNCT__

now that __PUNCT__ by the wai __PUNCT__ includ___NUM__ percent of american __PUNCT__

if you on of the __NUM__ percent whose incom ar less than __MONEY__ a year __PUNCT__ you would not see a dime of tax_increas on your incom_tax __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ if congress doesn't act __PUNCT__ nearli __NUM___million famili right here in virginia __PUNCT__ and i suspect most of you __PUNCT__ will see your tax go up by an averag of __MONEY__ on __DATE__ __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

boo __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

you don't like that __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

no __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

so we need to keep thi tax_hike from happen __PUNCT__

but the republican in congress ar refus to act __PUNCT__

thei refus to let you keep your tax_cut __PUNCT__ __NUM__ percent of american keep their tax cut __PUNCT__ unless we also spend an addit trillion_dollar on tax_cut for the top___NUM___percent __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

no __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ keep in mind __PUNCT__ thi is the same hous of repres that have now vote___NUM__ __NUM___time to repeal health_care __PUNCT__ __NUM___time __PUNCT__

seem like onc a week thei vote __PUNCT__ even though thei know thei can't pass it __PUNCT__ thei vote to repeal health_care __PUNCT__

and __PUNCT__ even though thei know it won't pass __PUNCT__

thei could take on vote to make sure your tax don't go up __PUNCT__ and thei haven't done that yet __PUNCT__

all becaus thei want to keep tax_cut for millionair and billionair and folk like me who don't need it __PUNCT__

our live will not __PUNCT__ michel and i __PUNCT__ our live will not be better __PUNCT__

the averag __PUNCT__ warren_buffett life is not go to be better if he get that addit tax_cut __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ and by the wai __PUNCT__ here the import_thing __PUNCT__ the wai thi is organ __PUNCT__ the truth is __PUNCT__ those top___NUM___percent __PUNCT__ thei still get a tax_break __PUNCT__ just onli up to __MONEY__

the monei thei made after that __PUNCT__ that when thei would have to start pai slightli more __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ let me sai thi __PUNCT__

if you believ that the recip for econom_growth is to give the top___NUM___percent addit tax_break __PUNCT__ then by all mean you should send those folk to washington __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

no __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

becaus that not what i believ __PUNCT__

that not why i in washington __PUNCT__

i there to fight for you __PUNCT__

i there to fight for the middl_class __PUNCT__

i there to fight for famili who ar work_hard everi singl_dai __PUNCT__

peopl like me and governor romnei __PUNCT__ we do not need a tax_cut __PUNCT__

and that part of what thi elect about __PUNCT__ becaus it repres these two differ view __PUNCT__ these two differ theori about how you grow the economi __PUNCT__

on almost everi issu in thi race __PUNCT__ the choic couldn't be more stark __PUNCT__

when america wa see it auto_industri on the brink of collaps __PUNCT__ my oppon said __PUNCT__ let __PUNCT__ let detroit go bankrupt __PUNCT__

that would have cost about a million_job __PUNCT__

i said __PUNCT__ i bet on american_worker __PUNCT__

i bet on american ingenu __PUNCT__

and you know what __PUNCT__ gm is the number on automak again becaus we made that bet __PUNCT__

so now i run to make sure what happen in the auto_industri is happen in other section of manufactur __PUNCT__

it doesn't just need to happen in detroit __PUNCT__ it need to happen in cleveland and raleigh and richmond and hampton __PUNCT__

governor romnei __PUNCT__ hi main claim to fame __PUNCT__ the reason he sai he can fix the economi is becaus of hi busi record __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

boo __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

it turn out that hi busi record wa start a compani that been invest in what were call __PUNCT__ pioneer __PUNCT__ of outsourc __PUNCT__

he want to keep give tax_break to compani that ship job_oversea __PUNCT__

i want to end those tax_break __PUNCT__

i want to give tax break to compani that ar invest here in virginia __PUNCT__ invest in american_worker __PUNCT__ invest in advanc american_manufactur so we can sell our good around the world stamp with three proud word __PUNCT__ made in america __PUNCT__

that why i run __PUNCT__

i run becaus in __NUM__ i promis to end the war in iraq and i have __PUNCT__

i promis to go after al qaida leadership and we have __PUNCT__ and usama bin_laden is no longer threaten america __PUNCT__

our brave men and women in uniform __PUNCT__ and virginia ha as mani veteran and folk serv in our arm_forc as ani state in the countri __PUNCT__ and we could not be prouder of them __PUNCT__ but we start to bring our troop_home __PUNCT__

and our nation_secur is __PUNCT__ in part __PUNCT__ go to depend on what kind of economi do thei come back to __PUNCT__

can thei find job __PUNCT__ can thei start small_busi __PUNCT__ and that why __PUNCT__ after a decad of war __PUNCT__ i want to take half the monei we save becaus we no longer fight in iraq and we wind down in afghanistan __PUNCT__ take half of that __PUNCT__ us it to pai down our deficit __PUNCT__ take the other half to do some nation __PUNCT__ build here in the unit_state of america __PUNCT__

let rebuild our road and our bridg __PUNCT__ our port __PUNCT__ our airport __PUNCT__

let lai broadband line that can reach into rural_commun that ar isol __PUNCT__ high __PUNCT__ speed rail that can make sure that we on the forefront of the __NUM__ __PUNCT__ centuri economi __PUNCT__

that what i fight for __PUNCT__

that what i believ in __PUNCT__

you know __PUNCT__ audienc member __PUNCT__

we love barack_obama __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

i run again becaus we done a lot of work in educ __PUNCT__ but we got more to do __PUNCT__

and i want to make sure we ar provid everi singl child __PUNCT__ not just some kid __PUNCT__ not even just most kid __PUNCT__ but all kid __PUNCT__ the best educ possibl __PUNCT__

our tuition tax_credit save million of famili thousand of dollar __PUNCT__

now i want to extend it __PUNCT__

we just won a fight with congress __PUNCT__

those of you who ar over at hampton __PUNCT__ other colleg and univers in the state __PUNCT__ we just won a fight to make sure that your loan rate would not doubl __PUNCT__

now i want to make sure that we actual bring down tuition and cost for colleg for everi young_person who will to work_hard to get an educ __PUNCT__

i want to make sure our school can hire the best teacher __PUNCT__ especi in math and scienc __PUNCT__

i want to give __NUM___million more american the chanc to go to commun_colleg and get train for the job that busi ar hire right now __PUNCT__

in the __NUM___centuri __PUNCT__ higher_educ can't be a luxuri __PUNCT__

it is a vital necess __PUNCT__

that why i run __PUNCT__

i want to fight to make sure that everybodi ha the chanc to get ahead __PUNCT__

my oppon plan to help respons homeown is to let foreclosur hit bottom __PUNCT__

that not a plan __PUNCT__

that not a solut __PUNCT__

that a problem __PUNCT__

my administr alreadi help a million respons homeown refin their mortgag __PUNCT__

i run to give everybodi a chanc to refin __PUNCT__

you could save___MONEY__ a year that you could then spend on go to a restaur and help a busi get more busi and fix the basement and rebuild the equiti in your home __PUNCT__

and that good for everybodi __PUNCT__

that good for the entir economi __PUNCT__

that an exampl of the kind of thing we could be do if we break thi stalem __PUNCT__

i run becaus i continu to believ that in america nobodi should go broke just becaus thei got sick __PUNCT__

i work with anybodi who want to continu to improv our health_care_system __PUNCT__

but the suprem_court ha spoken __PUNCT__

thi health_care law is here to stai __PUNCT__

we not go backward __PUNCT__

if you got health_insur __PUNCT__ noth chang for you __PUNCT__

you not be charg a tax __PUNCT__

the onli thing that happen to you is your insur is more secur becaus insur_compani can't drop you becaus of some fine_print or not cover your ill becaus you hit a lifetim limit __PUNCT__

insur_compani now have to cover young_peopl until thei __NUM__ on their parent plan __PUNCT__ which is help young peopl all across the countri __PUNCT__

we not go to let medicar get turn into a voucher system __PUNCT__

we not go to spend the next __NUM___year refight the battl of the last __NUM__ year __PUNCT__

we need to move_forward __PUNCT__

and i am run to make sure that we pai down on our debt and reduc our deficit __PUNCT__ but do so in a respons __PUNCT__ balanc wai __PUNCT__

and that mean __PUNCT__ ye __PUNCT__ cut out program we can't afford __PUNCT__

i don't believ everi govern_program work __PUNCT__ and govern shouldn't try to help everybodi __PUNCT__

if you don't want to get help __PUNCT__ we can't help you __PUNCT__

if you not will to work_hard __PUNCT__ there onli so much that can be done __PUNCT__

but you know what __PUNCT__ we not go to sacrific educ and train and basic research into thing like cancer and alzheim __PUNCT__

that would be shortsight __PUNCT__

so if we go to reduc our deficit and debt __PUNCT__ we have to do it smartli __PUNCT__ get rid of program that aren't help the economi_grow __PUNCT__ but also ask the wealthiest to do a littl bit more __PUNCT__

and that includ folk like me __PUNCT__

that includ peopl like mr __PUNCT__ romnei __PUNCT__

and by the wai __PUNCT__ just like we tri their wai and it didn't work __PUNCT__ we tri what i propos and it did work __PUNCT__

bill_clinton did it and we got __NUM___million new job and a surplu instead of a deficit __PUNCT__ and a whole bunch of folk got rich in the process __PUNCT__

becaus in america __PUNCT__ when the middl_class is do well and folk who ar poor and try to get into the middl class have a chanc __PUNCT__ everybodi doe well __PUNCT__

folk at the top do well becaus now thei got custom __PUNCT__

it good for everybodi __PUNCT__

that how we grow the economi togeth __PUNCT__

all these thing __PUNCT__ whether it bring_back manufactur or construct job_back __PUNCT__ protect health_care __PUNCT__ make sure kid get the best educ __PUNCT__ make sure our veteran ar get the train thei need when thei come home __PUNCT__ all thi stuff ti togeth __PUNCT__

thei all part of that central idea __PUNCT__ that promis that if you work_hard __PUNCT__ you can get ahead __PUNCT__ and the belief that we do that togeth __PUNCT__

when my grandfath got that gi_bill __PUNCT__ when thi gener is get the post __PUNCT__ 9/11 gi bill __PUNCT__ that not just for them __PUNCT__ it for all of us __PUNCT__ becaus if thei do well __PUNCT__ we all do well __PUNCT__

when we built the golden gate bridg and the hoover dam and __PUNCT__ that wasn't just good for the folk in those state __PUNCT__ that good for the whole countri __PUNCT__ becaus it mean we move good and servic and peopl faster around the world and we more competit __PUNCT__

we rise or fall togeth __PUNCT__

and now we got an oblig to pass on that tradit to our children and our grandchildren __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ over the next __NUM___month __PUNCT__ you ar go to see all these neg_ad with those voic of doom talk about how bad the economi is and how much it obama fault __PUNCT__

and you hear it __PUNCT__ i mean __PUNCT__ thei sai it everi which wai __PUNCT__ but it alwai the same_argument __PUNCT__ right __PUNCT__ becaus thei know their econom_theori doesn't sell becaus the fact ar it didn't work __PUNCT__

that their onli messag __PUNCT__

so all thei can sai is __PUNCT__ you know what __PUNCT__ it obama fault __PUNCT__ and if we get rid of him __PUNCT__ somehow mr __PUNCT__ romnei go to put it all back togeth __PUNCT__ although he won't tell you how __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

boo __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ that mai be a plan to win an elect __PUNCT__ but it not a plan to put_peopl back to work __PUNCT__

it not a plan to reduc our deficit __PUNCT__

it not a plan to grow the middl_class __PUNCT__

it not a plan to reviv the american_dream __PUNCT__

and the thing is __PUNCT__ you know what __PUNCT__ we been outspent befor __PUNCT__

we been count out befor __PUNCT__

when i announc in __NUM__ there wa a whole bunch of folk who didn't believ __PUNCT__

well __PUNCT__ everybodi now sai thei believ __PUNCT__ but there were a whole bunch of folk back then who didn't believ __PUNCT__

you know that right __PUNCT__

but you know what __PUNCT__ through all the campaign __PUNCT__ what alwai given me hope is the american_peopl __PUNCT__

there a core decenc __PUNCT__ there an honesti __PUNCT__ there a common_sens that cut through all the nois and all the distract and all the nonsens __PUNCT__

what give me hope is rememb the stori of your famili becaus thei just like the stori of my famili __PUNCT__ all the struggl of parent and grandpar and great __PUNCT__ grandpar who went through struggl we can't even imagin but somehow came out on the other end __PUNCT__ who understand that even in the darkest of night there a brighter dai dawn __PUNCT__

some of them came here as immigr __PUNCT__

some folk came not of their own accord __PUNCT__

some came to work in mine __PUNCT__ some came to work in mill __PUNCT__ some work the farm __PUNCT__

and thei didn't alwai know what wa around the corner __PUNCT__ but what thei did understand wa there wa someth differ about america __PUNCT__

thei knew that in a land where peopl ar free to pursu their individu dream __PUNCT__ thei can still come togeth as on american_famili __PUNCT__

thei knew that be middl_class wasn't about how much wa in your bank_account __PUNCT__ but it wa about an attitud that said if we work_hard we can have enough __PUNCT__

we don't envi folk who succe __PUNCT__ we think it great if thei get rich __PUNCT__

but the main_thing is famili and valu and be self __PUNCT__ reliant and look out for on anoth and help your neighbor and faith __PUNCT__ that what import __PUNCT__
