| 00:00:10 | LADIES AND ADAMANT, PLEASE WELCOME THE MICHIGAN GOVERNOR. |
| 00:00:24 | >> GOOD EVENING. |
| 00:00:25 | I AM FROM THE GREAT STATE OF MICHIGAN. |
| 00:00:32 | WHERE THE TREES ARE JUST THE RIGHT HEIGHT. |
| 00:00:36 | LET ME TELL YOU A STORY ABOUT THE DARK DAYS IN MY HOME STATE. |
| 00:00:41 | TOWARD THE END OF MY TIME AS GOVERNOR, FORD CLOSED ONE OF ITS BIGGEST FACTORIES IN MICHIGAN. |
| 00:00:51 | THE PLANTS HAD BEEN PLAYED OVER THE YEARS THOUSANDS OF MIDDLE- CLASS MEN AND WOMEN. |
| 00:01:01 | WORLDS AWAY FROM THE PLACE MITT ROMNEY WAS RAISED. |
| 00:01:05 | FORD'S DECISION TO CLOSE A FACTORY HIT, AND I WENT DOWN TO THE LOCAL UNION HALL AND IT WAS ALMOST EMPTY. |
| 00:01:13 | A FEW WORKERS WERE IN A SHAPE -- IN A STATE OF SHOCK AND GRIEF. |
| 00:01:18 | I TALKED TO A 45-YEAR-OLD GUY WHO TOLD ME, THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE I HAVE EVER WORKED. |
| 00:01:25 | I HAVE BEEN LOYAL, I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING THEY HAVE EVER ASKED, AND JUST LIKE THAT, IT IS GONE. |
| 00:01:32 | HE LOOKED AROUND THE HALL AND HE SAID, SO, GOVERNOR, IS IT OVER FOR US? |
| 00:01:40 | IS THE AMERICAN AUTO INDUSTRY DEAD? |
| 00:01:45 | HONESTLY, AT THAT MOMENT, I DID NOT KNOW. |
| 00:01:50 | THAT WAS JUST THE BEGINNING. |
| 00:01:52 | WHEN THE FINANCIAL CRISIS HIT, THINGS GOT WORKED -- WORSTE. |
| 00:02:04 | WITH IT, THE ENTIRE MANUFACTURING SECTOR OF THIS COUNTRY, AND WE LOOKED EVERYWHERE FOR HELP. |
| 00:02:12 | ALMOST NOBODY HAD THE GUTS TO HELP US, NOT THE BANKS, NOT THE PRIVATE INVESTORS, AND NOT BAIN CAPITAL. |
| 00:02:26 | [APPLAUSE] BUT, IN 2009, THE CALVARY ARRIVED, AND I KNEWOUR NEW PRESIDENT, BARACK OBAMA, CAME IN AND ABOU. |
| 00:02:41 | HE MADE THE TOUGH CALLS AND HE SAVED THE AMERICAN AUTO INDUSTRY. |
| 00:02:50 | [APPLAUSE] YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, MITT ROMNEY, HE SAW THE SAME CRISIS AND DO YOU KNOW WHAT HE SAID? |
| 00:02:59 | LET IT GO BANKRUPT. |
| 00:03:02 | SURE, SURE, MITT ROMNEY LOVES OUR LAKES AND NEVER TREES. |
| 00:03:08 | HE LOVES OUR CAR IS SO MUCH THEY HAVE THEIR OWN ELEVATOR. |
| 00:03:15 | BUT THE PEOPLE WHO DESIGN AND BUILD AND SELL THOSE CARS, IN ON THE'S WORLD, THE CARS GET THE ELEVATOR AND THE WORKERS GET THE SHAFT. |
| 00:03:30 | [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] |
| 00:03:33 | YOU KNOW WHAT I AM SAYING. |
| 00:03:36 | YOU KNOW WHAT I AM SAYING. |
| 00:03:40 | MITT ROMNEY, HE SAYS, HE SAYS THAT HIS BUSINESS EXPERIENCE QUALIFIES HIM TO BE PRESIDENT. |
| 00:03:47 | SURE, HE HAS MADE A LOT OF MONEY. |
| 00:03:50 | GOOD FOR HIM. |
| 00:03:51 | MAYBE I SHOULD SAY, GOOD FOR HIM, BUT HOW DID HE MAKE THE FORTUNE? |
| 00:03:57 | AND AT WHOSE EXPENSE? |
| 00:04:00 | YOU KNOW HE MADE IT TOO OFTEN AT THE EXPENSE OF MIDDLE CLASS AMERICANS YEAR AFTER YEAR. |
| 00:04:07 | IT WAS PROFIT BEFORE PEOPLE. |
| 00:04:08 | BUT, PRESIDENT OBAMA, WITH THE AUTO RESCUE, HE SAVED MORE THAN 1 MILLION AMERICAN JOBS, BUT IT WAS NOT JUST MISSED AGAIN. |
| 00:04:22 | -- JUST MICHIGAN. |
| 00:04:25 | IN COLORADO, THE AUTO RESCUE SAVED MORE THAN 9000 JOBS. |
| 00:04:31 | IN VIRGINIA, VIRGINIA, MORE THAN 19,000 JOBS. |
| 00:04:38 | IN NORTH CAROLINA, 25,000 JOBS. |

| 00:04:51 | IN PENNSYLVANIA, 34,000 JOBS. |
| 00:04:53 | IN FLORIDA, 35,000 JOBS. |
| 00:04:58 | IN OHIO, 150,000 JOBS. |
| 00:05:04 | IN THE GREAT STATE OF MICHIGAN, 211,000 JOBS. |
| 00:05:12 | ALL ACROSS AMERICA, MANUFACTURING IS REBOUNDING. |
| 00:05:19 | WHY? |
| 00:05:27 | [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] |
| 00:05:34 | AUDIENCE: USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! >> BECAUSE, WHEN MITT ROMNEY DID SAY LET IT GO BANKRUPT, WHO TOOK THE WHEEL? |
| 00:05:53 | BARACK OBAMA. |
| 00:05:57 | WHEN AMERICA WAS LOSING 700 TICKETS THOUSAND JOBS IN VERMONT, WHO GAVE US A LIFT? |
| 00:06:04 | BARACK OBAMA. |
| 00:06:06 | WHEN AMERICAN MARKETS WENT DOWN, THE JOB STARTED OUR ENGINE? |
| 00:06:11 | BARACK OBAMA WHEN AMERICA NEEDED IT MOST, WHO GOT US ROLLING AGAIN ON THE ROAD TO RECOVERY? |
| 00:06:17 | BARACK OBAMA. |
| 00:06:20 | COMERICA, WE NEED TO REV UP OUR ENGINES IN YOUR CAR AND ON YOUR BALLOT. |
| 00:06:28 | THE D IS FOR DRIVE FORWARD, THE R IS FOR REVERSE. |
| 00:06:38 | LET'S RE-ELECT OUR GREAT PRESIDENT, BARACK OBAMA. |
| 00:06:48 | [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] |
