and thi is not just a choic between two candid or two parti __PUNCT__ thi is a choic between two differ vision for how we move the countri forward __PUNCT__

what we fight for __PUNCT__ our vision is to restor the basic bargain that built thi countri __PUNCT__ that built the largest middl_class and the strongest economi the world ha ever known __PUNCT__

and that bargain can be state veri simpli __PUNCT__

it sai __PUNCT__ if you work_hard __PUNCT__ you can make it __PUNCT__

if you meet your respons __PUNCT__ then you can get ahead __PUNCT__ that everyon in thi countri __PUNCT__ no matter what you look like or where you come from __PUNCT__ what your last name is __PUNCT__ everybodi get a fair shot and everybodi doe their fair_share and everybodi plai by the same rule from main_street to wall_street __PUNCT__ to washington __PUNCT__ dc __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ i ran for presid becaus i saw thi basic bargain erod __PUNCT__

here in ohio __PUNCT__ too mani job were be ship oversea __PUNCT__ too mani famili struggl to keep up with rise_cost __PUNCT__ but paycheck that weren't go up __PUNCT__ peopl have to take on more debt just to pai tuition for their kid colleg or put ga in the car __PUNCT__

and then __PUNCT__ eventu __PUNCT__ thi entir hous of card collaps __PUNCT__ __NUM___year_ago thi month __PUNCT__ in the worst financi_crisi sinc the great_depress __PUNCT__ and million of american lost their job __PUNCT__ home __PUNCT__ save __PUNCT__ and we been fight ever sinc to recov from the polici that got us into thi hole __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ the other side seem to forget how all thi got start __PUNCT__

thei have a conveni case of amnesia __PUNCT__

and so __PUNCT__ at their convent __PUNCT__ thei were happi to talk about all the thing thei think ar wrong with america __PUNCT__ but thei didn't have much to sai about how thei make it right __PUNCT__

thei want your vote __PUNCT__ but thei don't want you to know their plan becaus the plan thei offer is the same old __PUNCT__ same old __PUNCT__ that we been hear from them for __NUM___year __PUNCT__

thei want tax_cut __PUNCT__ tax cut __PUNCT__ we roll_back some regul and then give you more tax_cut __PUNCT__

tax cut when time ar bad __PUNCT__ tax cut when time ar good __PUNCT__

tax cut dure peacetim and then some tax cut dure wartim __PUNCT__

you want to make a restaur reserv or book a flight __PUNCT__ you don't need the new iphon __PUNCT__ you just us a tax cut __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ now __PUNCT__ listen __PUNCT__ i cut_tax __PUNCT__ just like i promis __PUNCT__ for folk who need it __PUNCT__ for middl_class class_famili __PUNCT__ for small_busi __PUNCT__

the averag_famili ha seen their feder_incom_tax __PUNCT__ their feder_tax go down by __MONEY__

so if ani of you ar talk to your republican friend or rel __PUNCT__ and thei sai __PUNCT__ well __PUNCT__ he a big tax gui __PUNCT__ you tell them __PUNCT__ no __PUNCT__ your tax ar lower than thei were when i came into offic __PUNCT__

small_busi __PUNCT__ we cut_tax __NUM___time __PUNCT__

but i do not believ that anoth round of tax_cut for millionair ar go to bring good_job job_back to ohio __PUNCT__

i don't think give me a tax_break or give mr __PUNCT__ romnei a tax break will help pai down our deficit __PUNCT__

i don't believ that fire teacher or kick student off of financi_aid is somehow go to grow our economi __PUNCT__

that not go to help us compet against all the scientist and engin come out of china __PUNCT__

and after all we been through __PUNCT__ doe anybodi realli think that somehow roll_back regul on wall_street __PUNCT__ that we put in place to make sure we don't have anoth taxpay __PUNCT__ fund bailout __PUNCT__ that somehow that go to be good for the small businesswoman here in columbu or help the construct_worker get back on the job __PUNCT__ ohio __PUNCT__ we have tri what thei sell __PUNCT__

we tri it __PUNCT__ we been there __PUNCT__ it didn't work __PUNCT__

we don't like it __PUNCT__

we not go back __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ applaus __PUNCT__ we not go back __PUNCT__

we not go back __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

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

see __PUNCT__ we don't believ that the answer to our challeng is just to tell folk you on your own __PUNCT__

we think we all in thi togeth __PUNCT__

you look at thi crowd __PUNCT__ peopl of everi walk of life __PUNCT__ that what america is __PUNCT__

and we don't believ thi economi_grow from the top down __PUNCT__ we think it grow from the middl out __PUNCT__ from the bottom up __PUNCT__

think about it __PUNCT__ when i cut_tax on middl_class class_famili __PUNCT__ why did i do that __PUNCT__ becaus when you gui have a littl more monei in your pocket __PUNCT__ what happen __PUNCT__ audienc member __PUNCT__

we spend it __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

you spend it becaus you need to __PUNCT__ becaus you got expens __PUNCT__

so then you decid __PUNCT__ you bui a new comput for your kid go off to colleg or you final trade in that old __PUNCT__ beat __PUNCT__ up car you got __PUNCT__ and so busi then __PUNCT__ thei have more profit __PUNCT__

thei got more custom __PUNCT__

that mean thei hire more worker __PUNCT__

that mean those folk then have more monei to spend __PUNCT__

the whole economi doe better __PUNCT__

if you give a tax_break to a billionair __PUNCT__ you can onli bui so mani yacht __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ right __PUNCT__ i mean __PUNCT__ at a certain point __PUNCT__ you stop __PUNCT__

so it doesn't do the same_thing for the economi __PUNCT__

so not onli is it the right thing to do __PUNCT__ it the smart thing to do for us to grow __PUNCT__ to make sure that middl_class class_famili ar strong and peopl who ar poor and will to work_hard to get into the middl_class __PUNCT__ that thei got a chanc __PUNCT__

that our vision __PUNCT__

that why we not go backward __PUNCT__

that why we go forward __PUNCT__

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

audienc member __PUNCT__

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

hold on a second __PUNCT__ i want you to know __PUNCT__ though __PUNCT__ becaus some of you mai not have been pai_attent at the convent becaus you were still think about michel and how good she wa __PUNCT__

or mayb you were still talk about presid_clinton and how he broke it down __PUNCT__

but i want everybodi to be clear __PUNCT__ the path i offer isn't quick or easi __PUNCT__

it go to take more than a few year to deal with all the challeng that we face __PUNCT__

but let me tell you someth __PUNCT__ when i hear the other side talk about how the nation is in declin __PUNCT__ i tell them __PUNCT__ you must not be get out much __PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ becaus thi is america and we still got the best worker in the world and the best entrepreneur in the world and the best scientist and research in the world and the best colleg and univers in the world __PUNCT__

and there is not a countri on earth that wouldn't trade place with us right now __PUNCT__

so i confid our problem can be solv __PUNCT__ our challeng will be met __PUNCT__

the path i offer is harder __PUNCT__ but it lead to a better place becaus it allow everybodi to prosper __PUNCT__

anybodi who is will to work_hard can get ahead __PUNCT__

i ask you to choos that futur __PUNCT__

and i ask you to ralli around a specif set of goal __PUNCT__ to creat new manufactur_job and to strengthen our energi sector and improv educ and bring down our deficit and turn the page on a decad of war __PUNCT__

that what i intend to accomplish in the next __NUM___year __PUNCT__

that why i run for a second term __PUNCT__

i need those __NUM__ year to get all that done __PUNCT__

so let me just break down thi plan veri clearli __PUNCT__

part on __PUNCT__ we go to export more product __PUNCT__ and we go to outsourc fewer job __PUNCT__

after a decad where manufactur had been declin __PUNCT__ thi countri ha now creat over the last 2½ year over half a million new manufactur_job __PUNCT__ a whole lot of them right here in ohio __PUNCT__

when there were some who said __PUNCT__ just let detroit go bankrupt __PUNCT__ when there were folk who were will to walk awai from all the job that ar support here in ohio by the auto_industri __PUNCT__ i bet on american_worker __PUNCT__

and __NUM___year later __PUNCT__ the american auto_industri ha brought_back nearli __NUM__ new job __PUNCT__

it come roar back __PUNCT__

so you got a choic __PUNCT__

we can do what mr __PUNCT__ romnei suggest and keep give tax_break __PUNCT__ audienc member __PUNCT__

boo __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

don't boo __PUNCT__ vote __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ applaus __PUNCT__ don't boo __PUNCT__ vote __PUNCT__

we can keep give tax break to compani that ar ship job_oversea __PUNCT__ or we can start reward compani that ar open new plant and train new worker and creat new job right here in the unit_state of america __PUNCT__

and when it come to trade __PUNCT__ i understand my oppon ha been run around ohio claim he go to take the fight to china __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ now __PUNCT__ thi is a gui whose experi ha been own compani that were call __PUNCT__ pioneer __PUNCT__ of outsourc_job to countri like china __PUNCT__ made_monei invest in compani ship job to china __PUNCT__

ohio __PUNCT__ you can't stand up to china if all you done is send them our job __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ you can talk a good game __NUM___week befor an elect __PUNCT__ but you can't just talk the talk __PUNCT__ you got to walk the walk __PUNCT__

i wake up everi singl_dai think about america worker and make sure thei got a fair shot in thi economi __PUNCT__

when other countri don't plai by the rule __PUNCT__ we walk the walk __PUNCT__

we brought more trade case against china in on term than the previou_administr did in two __PUNCT__

when governor romnei wa complain that becaus we stop an unfair surg in chines tire here into the unit_state __PUNCT__ he said __PUNCT__ well no __PUNCT__ that protectionist __PUNCT__

we did it anywai __PUNCT__

and we got over __NUM__ american_job job_back __PUNCT__ right here in the unit_state __PUNCT__

earlier thi year __PUNCT__ i set up a new task_forc to go after everi unfair trade practic that harm our worker __PUNCT__ and it alreadi deliv __PUNCT__

two month_ago __PUNCT__ we move to hold china account for unfair trade practic that harm american automak __PUNCT__

todai my administr is launch a new action against china __PUNCT__ thi on against illeg subsidi that encourag compani to ship auto_part manufactur_job job_oversea __PUNCT__ which directli hurt men and women on the assembl_line in ohio and michigan and throughout the midwest __PUNCT__

your senat __PUNCT__ by the wai __PUNCT__ sherrod_brown __PUNCT__ ha fought as hard as anybodi on thi __PUNCT__

so where folk ar break the rule __PUNCT__ we go after them __PUNCT__

we not go to let it stand __PUNCT__

it not right __PUNCT__

it against the rule __PUNCT__

we not go to let it stand __PUNCT__

american_worker build better product than anybodi __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ made in america __PUNCT__ mean someth __PUNCT__

and when the plai_field is level __PUNCT__ we alwai win __PUNCT__

so that a choic you got in thi elect __PUNCT__ though __PUNCT__ becaus my oppon __PUNCT__ not onli doe he want to keep tax_incent that would send job_oversea __PUNCT__ he want to expand them __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ audienc member __PUNCT__

i love you __PUNCT__ the presid __PUNCT__

i love you back __PUNCT__ but i not finish __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ if you choos the path i offer __PUNCT__ then we can help big factori and small_busi doubl their export __PUNCT__

we can sell more good around the world made right here __PUNCT__

we can creat a million new manufactur_job in the next __NUM___year __PUNCT__

we shown we can do it __PUNCT__

but that not all it go to take to rebuild our economi __PUNCT__

we got to make sure our worker ar train to fill those good_job __PUNCT__

and that why the second part of my plan is to give everi american the chanc to earn the skill thei need to compet __PUNCT__

educ wa the gatewai of opportun for me __PUNCT__

it wa what gave michel a chanc __PUNCT__

it what gave so mani of you a chanc __PUNCT__

it the path to a middl_class class_life __PUNCT__

and when i sai __PUNCT__ by the wai __PUNCT__ a higher_educ __PUNCT__ it doesn't mean __NUM___year __PUNCT__

it mai be you go to a commun_colleg for __NUM__ or a train_program __PUNCT__

but the point is __PUNCT__ it not enough right now just to get that __NUM___year in high_school becaus the economi is more complic now and the skill that ar need ar more advanc __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ the good new is we alreadi done work on thi __PUNCT__

so million of student ar alreadi pai less for colleg becaus of what we did __PUNCT__

we took on a system that wa wast billion of taxpay_dollar us bank and lender as middlemen for the student_loan loan_program __PUNCT__ and we said why do we need the middlemen __PUNCT__ let cut them out __PUNCT__

let give the monei directli to student __PUNCT__

and as a consequ __PUNCT__ we been abl to help young_peopl all across thi countri __PUNCT__

but onc again __PUNCT__ we got a choic in thi elect __PUNCT__ becaus governor romnei want to roll_back what we did __PUNCT__

then he got a budget that would gut educ to pai for more tax_break for the wealthi __PUNCT__

that on path __PUNCT__ but i offer a differ path __PUNCT__

i believ that in the unit_state of america __PUNCT__ no child should ever have her dream defer becaus of an overcrowd classroom or outdat textbook __PUNCT__

no famili should have to set asid a colleg accept letter becaus thei don't have the monei __PUNCT__

no compani should have to look for worker in china becaus thei couldn't find worker with the right skill here at home __PUNCT__

so __PUNCT__ ohio __PUNCT__ what i offer __PUNCT__ and i need your help __PUNCT__

i need you to help me recruit __NUM__ new math and scienc_teacher and improv earli_childhood childhood_educ and give __NUM___million worker the chanc to learn the skill thei need at commun_colleg and help us work with colleg and univers to keep tuition down so that our young_peopl have a chanc at a futur without take on ten of thousand of dollar __PUNCT__ worth of debt __PUNCT__

we can meet that goal __PUNCT__ but i need your help __PUNCT__

audienc member __PUNCT__

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

third thing __PUNCT__ we got to control our own energi __PUNCT__

after __NUM___year of inact __PUNCT__ we rais fuel standard so by the middl of the next decad __PUNCT__ your car and truck will go twice as far on a gallon of ga __PUNCT__

and by the wai __PUNCT__ detroit is make those car __PUNCT__ and toledo is make those car __PUNCT__

all across the midwest __PUNCT__ we see american car now __PUNCT__

we go to meet those standard __PUNCT__

we go to beat those standard __PUNCT__

we doubl the amount of renew_energi we gener from sourc like wind and solar __PUNCT__

that creat thousand of job build wind_turbin and long __PUNCT__ last batteri right here in ohio __PUNCT__

america is less depend on foreign_oil than ani time in the last two decad __PUNCT__

so we alreadi made progress __PUNCT__ but we can make more __PUNCT__

and the question is __PUNCT__ ar we go to go back to a plan that revers the progress __PUNCT__ or do we build on our progress __PUNCT__ see __PUNCT__ i want you gui to know __PUNCT__ i not go to let oil_compani write thi countri energi plan __PUNCT__

i not go to let them keep collect __MONEY___billion in corpor_welfar from our taxpay __PUNCT__

the path we offer is to keep invest in wind and solar __PUNCT__ clean_coal technolog __PUNCT__ and make sure farmer and scientist ar har new biofuel to power our car and our truck __PUNCT__

let put construct_worker back to work rehab and retrofit build and factori so thei wast less energi __PUNCT__

let develop a hundr __PUNCT__ year suppli of natur_ga that beneath our feet __PUNCT__

and if we do all thi __PUNCT__ we can cut our oil import in half by __NUM__ and support __NUM__ new job in natur ga alon __PUNCT__

that the path forward __PUNCT__

fourth thing __PUNCT__ let reduc our deficit without stick it to the middl_class __PUNCT__

see __PUNCT__ we realli do have to reduc our deficit __PUNCT__

but the wai i do it __PUNCT__ we cut our deficit by __MONEY___trillion __PUNCT__ make sure everybodi doe it the right wai __PUNCT__

i work with republican in congress __PUNCT__ we cut a trillion_dollar __PUNCT__ worth in spend __PUNCT__

not everi program work __PUNCT__

there is some wast in govern __PUNCT__ we can take and make sure that we bring down our deficit __PUNCT__

i want to reform our tax_code so that it simpl and it fair __PUNCT__ but i also want to make sure we ask the wealthiest household to pai a slightli higher_tax on incom over __MONEY__ the same_rate that we had when bill_clinton wa presid __PUNCT__ when our economi wa creat nearli __NUM___million new job __PUNCT__ when we had the biggest surplu in histori __PUNCT__ and we had a whole bunch of millionair to boot __PUNCT__

and why is it that we creat a lot millionair __PUNCT__ becaus when middl_class class_famili ar do well __PUNCT__ what happen __PUNCT__ everybodi doe well __PUNCT__

everybodi doe well __PUNCT__

when you give ladder of opportun for poor_folk to get into the middl_class __PUNCT__ what happen __PUNCT__ everybodi doe well __PUNCT__

thei got more monei to spend __PUNCT__ thei bui product __PUNCT__ we hire more worker __PUNCT__

everybodi doe better __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ i got to sai __PUNCT__ my oppon doe have hi own plan __PUNCT__ but it miss on thing __PUNCT__ arithmet __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ it doesn't add up __PUNCT__

i mean __PUNCT__ think about it __PUNCT__

he sai that the most import_thing we have is to reduc our deficit __PUNCT__

and i realli want __PUNCT__ i hope some republican ar watch right now and some independ __PUNCT__ becaus i just want everybodi to break down the math __PUNCT__

you sai you want to reduc the deficit __PUNCT__

so what your first plan __PUNCT__ you go to spend___MONEY__ __MONEY___trillion in tax_cut __PUNCT__ __MONEY___trillion __PUNCT__

sometim peopl lose_sight of how much thi mean __PUNCT__

so __MONEY___trillion over __NUM___year __PUNCT__ that __MONEY___billion a year __PUNCT__ right __PUNCT__ i think my math is right __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ __MONEY__ billion __PUNCT__ that how much we spend on the defens_depart __PUNCT__ our entir militari __PUNCT__

so he go to give a tax_cut __PUNCT__ mostli go to wealthi folk like me and mr __PUNCT__ romnei __PUNCT__ a __MONEY__ tax_break for peopl_make make___MONEY__ __MONEY___million a year or more __PUNCT__ and it go to cost us __MONEY___trillion on top of the bush_tax_cut __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ thei must have skip math class when thei were __PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ everi time thei ask to explain thi plan __PUNCT__ thei won't explain it becaus thei can't __PUNCT__

thei cannot explain how thei pai for a __MONEY___trillion tax_cut without slash educ fund __PUNCT__ slash invest in research __PUNCT__ slash invest in help our senior and peopl who ar vulner __PUNCT__ and in rais_tax on middl_class class_famili __PUNCT__

but it doesn't stop there __PUNCT__

thei then want to add anoth __MONEY___trillion in militari_spend __PUNCT__ and thei sai thei won't add to the deficit __PUNCT__ but keep in mind __PUNCT__ thi is stuff the joint_chief of staff sai is not requir to keep us safe __PUNCT__

so that __MONEY___trillion altogeth __PUNCT__ on top of the bush_tax_cut __PUNCT__

trillion of dollar __PUNCT__ and thei go to ask you to pai for it to give me a tax_break __PUNCT__

i tell you __PUNCT__ you cannot make it work __PUNCT__

you can't cross the __PUNCT__ t __PUNCT__ s and dot the __PUNCT__ i __PUNCT__ s on thi plan __PUNCT__

and columbu is a town where you got to dot the __PUNCT__ i __PUNCT__

you can't get awai with that __PUNCT__

so when independ folk have tri to explain it __PUNCT__ thei gone through it __PUNCT__ and thei kind of gotten their calcul out __PUNCT__ thei talli these up __PUNCT__

and on independ report show that governor romnei tax_plan would provid an addit___MONEY__ tax_cut for multimillionair __PUNCT__ but to pai for it __PUNCT__ __NUM__ percent of taxpay would actual foot the bill __PUNCT__

you pai more __PUNCT__

i mean __PUNCT__ imagin a sellout crowd for a buckey footbal_game at the __PUNCT__ horsesho __PUNCT__

under my oppon tax_plan __PUNCT__ __NUM__ fan at the game would get an averag tax_cut of __MONEY__ and about __NUM__ fan would have to pai for it __PUNCT__

and by the wai __PUNCT__ the on who would get the tax_break ar the gui in the box seat __PUNCT__

__PUNCT__ laughter __PUNCT__ i am not go to ask middl_class class_famili with kid to pai over __MONEY__ more so that millionair and billionair get to pai less __PUNCT__

i not go to ask __NUM__ ohio student to pai more for colleg or kick children off of head_start or elimin health_insur for the poor or the elderli or the disabl to pai for a tax_cut for folk who don't need it __PUNCT__

and by the wai __PUNCT__ i not go to turn medicar into a voucher __PUNCT__

if you work_hard all your life __PUNCT__ you should not spend your golden year at the merci of insur_compani __PUNCT__

you should retir with the digniti that you have earn __PUNCT__

so we reform medicar __PUNCT__ but we do it the right wai __PUNCT__ reduc the cost of health_care __PUNCT__ not by ask senior to foot the bill __PUNCT__

same_thing with social_secur __PUNCT__

well __PUNCT__ we take respons step to strengthen social secur __PUNCT__ but we not go to turn it over to wall_street __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ on last thing __PUNCT__ rebuild our economi is essenti __PUNCT__ but obvious __PUNCT__ our prosper at home is link to our polici abroad __PUNCT__

current event remind us of that __PUNCT__

obvious __PUNCT__ we ar heartbroken see what happen last week __PUNCT__

four year_ago __PUNCT__ i promis to end the war in iraq __PUNCT__ and we did __PUNCT__

i said we wind down the war in afghanistan __PUNCT__ and we ar __PUNCT__

and as a new tower rise abov the new york skylin __PUNCT__ al qaida is on the path to defeat __PUNCT__ and bin_laden is dead __PUNCT__

but for all the challeng __PUNCT__ the event of the past week underscor we still got threat in the world __PUNCT__ so we got to remain vigil __PUNCT__

we go to do everyth we need to do to make sure our diplomat ar safe __PUNCT__

we go to keep provid our troop with the equip and the strategi that thei need __PUNCT__

but what we also go to do is make sure that as long as i command in chief __PUNCT__ we got the strongest militari the world ha ever known __PUNCT__

and when our troop take off their uniform __PUNCT__ we go to serv them as well as thei serv us becaus nobodi who fight for thi countri should have to fight for a job when thei come home __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ my oppon __PUNCT__ he got a differ point of view __PUNCT__

he said it wa __PUNCT__ tragic __PUNCT__ to end the war in iraq __PUNCT__

and he won't tell us how he end the war in afghanistan __PUNCT__

he want to spend more monei on program that our joint_chief don't even want __PUNCT__

well __PUNCT__ you know what __PUNCT__ i want to spend that monei we no longer spend on war to pai down our debt and to put_peopl back to work here in ohio __PUNCT__ rebuild road and bridg and school and runwai __PUNCT__

after a decad of war __PUNCT__ it time to do some nation __PUNCT__ build here at home __PUNCT__

that why i run for a second term __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ thi is the choic that we now face __PUNCT__

thi is what the elect come down to __PUNCT__

the other side __PUNCT__ thei told us __PUNCT__ over and over again __PUNCT__ how bigger tax_cut and fewer regul __PUNCT__ that the onli wai to go __PUNCT__ their wai is the onli wai __PUNCT__

thei sai that sinc govern can't do everyth __PUNCT__ it should do almost noth __PUNCT__

if you can't afford health_insur __PUNCT__ hope you don't get sick __PUNCT__

if some compani releas pollut that your kid ar breath __PUNCT__ thei sai it just the price of progress __PUNCT__

if you can't afford to go to colleg __PUNCT__ borrow_monei from your parent __PUNCT__

but you know __PUNCT__ that not who we ar __PUNCT__

that not what thi countri is about __PUNCT__

we insist on person_respons __PUNCT__ and we insist on individu initi __PUNCT__

we can't help somebodi who doesn't want to help themselv __PUNCT__

nobodi here is entitl to success __PUNCT__

everybodi ha got to earn it __PUNCT__

we honor folk who start a busi and the striver and the dreamer __PUNCT__ the risk taker who help make our free_enterpris enterpris_system system_work __PUNCT__

and we believ the free_enterpris enterpris_system is the greatest engin of prosper the world ha ever known __PUNCT__

but we also believ that in thi countri __PUNCT__ as citizen __PUNCT__ we accept certain oblig to on anoth and to futur_gener __PUNCT__

as citizen __PUNCT__ we understand it not about what can be done for us __PUNCT__ but what can be done by us __PUNCT__ togeth __PUNCT__ as on nation and as on peopl __PUNCT__

and that what thi elect wa about __NUM___year_ago __PUNCT__

it wasn't about me __PUNCT__ it wa about you __PUNCT__
