[BARACK OBAMA]
Hello Cincinatti!
Now you may have heard that there's an election going on. I honestly believe this is the clearest choice of any time in a generation. It's not just between two candidates or two political parties, but it is a choice between two fundamentally different visions for how we move forward as a country.
[JOE BIDEN]
Good to see you.
I am known as Jill Biden's husband.
[LAUGHTER]
No I swear to God, they say, it's great to see you, and I can see them looking like this, where, where, she's not with me. Oh. Ok. Good talking to you.
Isn't it great having a President of the United States who thinks it matters whether or not there's still an automobile industry in the United States.
That's action! And folks, I don't have to tell you in the Midwest. That is real impact in Iowa, in Ohio, in Michigan and all across this midwestern part of the United States.

[MICHELLE OBAMA]
Oh my goodness, we are so proud of you all. All the good work you're doing. You guys do well. Thanks for coming, this was so much fun. This was so much fun! I'm
proud of you all. When it comes to giving our young people the education they deserve, Barack knows that like me and like so many of you, he never could have attended a college without financial aid. So believe me, when it comes to student debt, Barack and I, we've been there, and that's why he's fought so hard to double funding for Pell Grants, fought so hard to keep interest rates down, because you have a president who wants you all to have the skills you need for the jobs of the future. The good jobs you can raise a family on, jobs that will drive this economy for decades to come. That's what your president wants.

[BARACK OBAMA]
2008: 47 percent of the country didn't vote for me. But on the night of the election I said to all those Americans: I may not have won your vote but I hear your voices. I need your help and I will be your president.
[CHEERING]
[BARACK OBAMA]
I don't know how many folks will vote for me this time around, but I can tell you I'll be with you no matter what. Because I'm not fighting to create Democratic jobs or Republican jobs, I'm fighting to create American jobs.
[CHEERING]
I'm not fighting to improve schools in red states or schools in blue states, I'm fighting to improve schools in the United States.
[CHEERING]
I'm not fighting just on behalf of workers or businesses or rich or poor, the 1 percent or the 99 percent, I'm fighting for American values. They belong to all of us. And if you still believe in that, if you still have hope that you're still ready to go, I'm asking you for your vote. We'll win Milwaukee. We'll win Wisconsin. We'll finish what we started. And we'll remind the world why the United States of America is the greatest nation on earth. The sun is going to come out. God bless you, and God bless the United States.
