{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"1.1","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"We'll talk about specifically about health care in a moment."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"1.2","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"But what do you support the voucher system, Governor?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"2.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"What I support is no change for current retirees and near retirees to Medicare."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"2.2","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And the president supports taking dollar seven hundred sixteen billion out of that program."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"3.1","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"And what about the vouchers?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"4.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So that's that's number one."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"4.2","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Number two is for people coming along that are young, what I do to make sure that we can keep Medicare in place for them is to allow them either to choose the current Medicare program or a private plan."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"4.3","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Their choice."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"4.4","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They get to choose and they'll have at least two plans that will be entirely at no cost to them."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"4.5","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So they don't have to pay additional money, no additional dollar six thousand."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"4.6","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's not going to happen."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"4.7","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They'll have at least two plans."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"4.8","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And by the way, if the government can be as efficient as the private sector and offer premiums that are as low as the private sector, people will be happy to get traditional Medicare or they'll be able to get a private plan."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"4.9","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I know my own view is I'd rather have a private plan."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"4.10","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I'd just assume not have the government telling me what kind of health care I get."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"4.11","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I'd rather be able to have an insurance company."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"4.12","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"If I don't like them, I can get rid of them and find a different insurance company."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"4.13","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But people make their own choice."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"4.14","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The other thing we have to do to save Medicare?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"4.15","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We have to have the benefits high for those that are low income, but for higher income people, we're going to have to lower some of the benefits."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"4.16","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We have to make sure this program is there for the long term."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"4.17","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's the plan that I've put forward."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"4.18","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And, by the way the idea came not even from Paul Ryan or or Senator Wyden, who's the co author of the bill with with Paul Ryan in the Senate, but also it came from Bill Bill Clinton's chief of staff."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"4.19","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"This is an idea that's been around a long time, which is saying, hey, let's see if we can't get competition into the Medicare world so that people can get the choice of different plans at lower cost, better quality."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"4.20","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I believe in competition."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"5.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Jim, if I if I can just respond very quickly, first of all, every study has shown that Medicare has lower administrative costs than private insurance does, which is why seniors are generally pretty happy with it."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"5.2","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And private insurers have to make a profit."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"5.3","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Nothing wrong with that."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"5.4","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's what they do."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"5.5","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And so you've got higher administrative costs, plus profit on top of that."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"5.6","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And if you are going to save any money through what Governor Romney's proposing, what has to happen is, is that the money has to come from somewhere."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"5.7","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And when you move to a voucher system, you are putting seniors at the mercy of those insurance companies."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"5.8","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And over time, if traditional Medicare has decayed or fallen apart, then they're stuck."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"5.9","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And this is the reason why AARP has said that your plan would weaken Medicare substantially."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"5.10","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And that's why they were supportive of the approach that we took."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"5.11","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"One last point I want to make."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"5.12","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We do have to lower the cost of health care, not just in Medicare and Medicaid|"}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"6.1","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Talk about that in a minute."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"7.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"but but but overall."}

{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"10.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's that's a big topic."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"10.2","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Can we can we stay on Medicare?"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"11.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Is that a is that a separate topic?"}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"12.1","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Yeah, we're going to yeah, I want to get to it."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"13.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I'm sorry."}

{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"17.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Let's get back to Medicare."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"17.2","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The president said that the government can provide the service at lower cost and without a profit."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"18.1","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"All right."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"19.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"If that's the case, then it will always be the best product that people can purchase."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"20.1","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Wait a minute, Governor."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"21.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But my experience my experience the private sector typically is able to provide a better product at a lower cost."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"22.1","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"All right."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"22.2","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Can we can the two of you agree that the voters have a choice a clear choice between the two|"}

{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"27.1","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"All right."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"27.2","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"So to finish quickly, briefly, on the economy, what is your view about the level of federal regulation of the economy right now?"}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"27.3","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Is there too much?"}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"27.4","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"And in your case, Mister President, is there should there be more?"}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"27.5","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Beginning with you."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"27.6","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"This is not a new two minute segment to start."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"27.7","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"And we'll go for a few minutes, and then we're going to go to health care, OK?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"28.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Regulation is essential."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"28.2","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You can't have a free market work if you don't have regulation."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"28.3","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"As a businessperson, I had to have I need to know the regulations."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"28.4","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I needed them there."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"28.5","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You couldn't have people opening up banks in their in their garage and making loans."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"28.6","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I mean, you have to have regulations so that you can have an economy work."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"28.7","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Every free economy has good regulation."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"28.8","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"At the same time, regulation can become excessive."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"29.1","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Is it excessive now, do you think?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"30.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"In some places, yes."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"30.2","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Other places, no."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"31.1","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Like where?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"32.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"No, it can become out of date."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"32.2","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And what's happened with some of the legislation that's been passed during the president's term, you've seen regulation become excessive, and it's hurt it's hurt the economy."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"32.3","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Let me give you an example."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"32.4","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Dodd Frank was passed."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"32.5","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And it includes within it a number of provisions that I think has some unintended consequences that are harmful to the economy."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"32.6","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"One is it designates a number of banks as too big to fail, and they're effectively guaranteed by the federal government."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"32.7","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"This is the biggest kiss that's been given to to New York banks I've ever seen."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"32.8","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"This is an enormous boon for them."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"32.9","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"There've been one hundred twenty two community and small banks have closed since Dodd Frank."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"32.10","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So there's one example."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"32.11","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Here's another."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"32.12","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"In Dodd Frank|"}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"33.1","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Do you want to repeal Dodd Frank?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"34.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well, I would repeal and replace it."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"34.2","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We're not going to get rid of all regulation."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"34.3","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You have to have regulation."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"34.4","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And there are some parts of Dodd Frank that make all the sense in the world."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"34.5","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You need transparency, you need to have leverage limits for|"}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"35.1","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Well, here's a specific|"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"36.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But let's let's mention let me mention the other one."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"36.2","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Let's talk|"}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"37.1","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"No, let's not."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"37.2","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Let's let him respond let's let him respond to this specific on Dodd Frank and what the governor just said."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"38.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I think this is a great example."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"38.2","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The reason we have been in such a enormous economic crisis was prompted by reckless behavior across the board."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"38.3","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Now, it wasn't just on Wall Street."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"38.4","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You had loan officers were that were giving loans and mortgages that really shouldn't have been given, because the folks didn't qualify."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"38.5","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You had people who were borrowing money to buy a house that they couldn't afford."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"38.6","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You had credit agencies that were stamping these as Aone great investments when they weren't."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"38.7","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But you also had banks making money hand over fist, churning out products that the bankers themselves didn't even understand, in order to make big profits, but knowing that it made the entire system vulnerable."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"38.8","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So what did we do?"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"38.9","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We stepped in and had the toughest reforms on Wall Street since the one thousand nine hundred thirtys."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"38.10","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We said you've got banks, you've got to raise your capital requirements."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"38.11","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You can't engage in some of this risky behavior that is putting Main Street at risk."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"38.12","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We've going to make sure that you've got to have a living will so so we can know how you're going to wind things down if you make a bad bet so we don't have other taxpayer bailouts."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"38.13","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"In the meantime, by the way, we also made sure that all the help that we provided those banks was paid back every single dime, with interest."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"38.14","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Now, Governor Romney has said he wants to repeal Dodd Frank."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"38.15","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And, you know, I appreciate and it appears we've got some agreement that a marketplace to work has to have some regulation."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"38.16","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But in the past, Governor Romney has said he just want to repeal Dodd Frank, roll it back."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"38.17","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And so the question is: Does anybody out there think that the big problem we had is that there was too much oversight and regulation of Wall Street?"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"38.18","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Because if you do, then Governor Romney is your candidate."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"38.19","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But that's not what I believe."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"39.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Sorry, but that's just not that's just not the facts."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"39.2","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Look, we have to have regulation on Wall Street."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"39.3","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's why I'd have regulation."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"39.4","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But I wouldn't designate five banks as too big to fail and give them a blank check."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"39.5","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's one of the unintended consequences of Dodd Frank."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"39.6","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It wasn't thought through properly."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"39.7","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We need to get rid of that provision because it's killing regional and small banks."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"39.8","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They're getting hurt."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"39.9","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Let me mention another regulation in Dodd Frank."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"39.10","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You say we were giving mortgages to people who weren't qualified."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"39.11","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's exactly right."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"39.12","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It's one of the reasons for the great financial calamity we had."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"39.13","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And so Dodd Frank correctly says we need to have qualified mortgages, and if you give a mortgage that's not qualified, there are big penalties, except they didn't ever go on and define what a qualified mortgage was."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"39.14","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It's been two years."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"39.15","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We don't know what a qualified mortgage is yet."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"39.16","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So banks are reluctant to make loans, mortgages."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"39.17","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Try and get a mortgage these days."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"39.18","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It's hurt the housing market because Dodd Frank didn't anticipate putting in place the kinds of regulations you have to have."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"39.19","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It's not that Dodd Frank always was wrong with too much regulation."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"39.20","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Sometimes they didn't come out with a clear regulation."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"39.21","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I will make sure we don't hurt the functioning of our of our marketplace and our business, because I want to bring back housing and get good jobs."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"40.1","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"All right."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"40.2","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"I think we have another clear difference between the two of you."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"40.3","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Now, let's move to health care where I know there is a clear difference, and that has to do with the Affordable Care Act, Obamacare."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"40.4","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"And it's a two minute new new segment, and that means two minutes each."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"40.5","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"And you go first, Governor Romney."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"40.6","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"You want it repealed."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"40.7","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"You want the Affordable Care Act repealed."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"40.8","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Why?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"41.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I sure do."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"41.2","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well, in part, it comes, again, from my experience."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"41.3","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You know, I was in New Hampshire."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"41.4","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"A woman came to me and she said, look, I can't afford insurance for myself or my son."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"41.5","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I met a couple in Appleton, Wisconsin, and they said, we're thinking of dropping our insurance, we can't afford it."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"41.6","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And the number of small businesses I've gone to that are saying they're dropping insurance because they can't afford it, the cost of health care is just prohibitive."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"41.7","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And and we've got to deal with cost."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"41.8","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And, unfortunately, when when when you look at Obamacare, the Congressional Budget Office has said it will cost dollar two thousand five hundred a year more than traditional insurance."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"41.9","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So it's adding to cost."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"41.10","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And as a matter of fact, when the president ran for office, he said that, by this year, he would have brought down the cost of insurance for each family by dollar two thousand five hundred a family."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"41.11","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Instead, it's gone up by that amount."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"41.12","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So it's expensive."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"41.13","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Expensive things hurt families."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"41.14","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So that's one reason I don't want it."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"41.15","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Second reason, it cuts dollar seven hundred sixteen billion from Medicare to pay for it."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"41.16","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I want to put that money back in Medicare for our seniors."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"41.17","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Number three, it puts in place an unelected board that's going to tell people ultimately what kind of treatments they can have."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"41.18","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I don't like that idea."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"41.19","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Fourth, there was a survey done of small businesses across the country, said, what's been the effect of Obamacare on your hiring plans?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"41.20","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And three quarters of them said it makes us less likely to hire people."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"41.21","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I just don't know how the president could have come into office, facing twenty three million people out of work, rising unemployment, an economic crisis at the at the kitchen table, and spend his energy and passion for two years fighting for Obamacare instead of fighting for jobs for the American people."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"41.22","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It has killed jobs."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"41.23","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And the best course for health care is to do what we did in my state: craft a plan at the state level that fits the needs of the state."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"41.24","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And then let's focus on getting the costs down for people, rather than raising it with the dollar two thousand five hundred additional premium."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"42.1","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Mister President, the argument against repeal?"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"43.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well, four years ago, when I was running for office, I was traveling around and having those same conversations that Governor Romney talks about."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"43.2","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And it wasn't just that small businesses were seeing costs skyrocket and they couldn't get affordable coverage even if they wanted to provide it to their employees."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"43.3","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It wasn't just that this was the biggest driver of our federal deficit, our overall health care costs, but it was families who were worried about going bankrupt if they got sick, millions of families, all across the country."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"43.4","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"If they had a pre existing condition, they might not be able to get coverage at all."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"43.5","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"If they did have coverage, insurance companies might impose an arbitrary limit."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"43.6","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And so as a consequence, they're paying their premiums, somebody gets really sick, lo and behold, they don't have enough money to pay the bills, because the insurance companies say that they've hit the limit."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"43.7","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So we did work on this, alongside working on jobs, because this is part of making sure that middle class families are secure in this country."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"43.8","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And let me tell you exactly what Obamacare did."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"43.9","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Number one, if you've got health insurance, it doesn't mean a government takeover."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"43.10","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You keep your own insurance."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"43.11","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You keep your own doctor."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"43.12","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But it does say insurance companies can't jerk you around."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"43.13","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They can't impose arbitrary lifetime limits."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"43.14","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They have to let you keep your kid on their insurance your insurance plan until you're twenty six years old."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"43.15","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And it also says that you're going to have to get rebates if insurance companies are spending more on administrative costs and profits than they are on actual care."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"43.16","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Number two, if you don't have health insurance, we're essentially setting up a group plan that allows you to benefit from group rates that are typically eighteen percent lower than if you're out there trying to get insurance on the individual market."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"43.17","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Now, the last point I'd make before|"}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"44.1","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Two minutes two minutes is up, sir."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"45.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"No, I think I had five seconds before you interrupted me, was the irony is that we've seen this model work really well in Massachusetts, because Governor Romney did a good thing, working with Democrats in the state to set up what is essentially the identical model and as a consequence people are covered there."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"45.2","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It hasn't destroyed jobs."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"45.3","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And as a consequence, we now have a system in which we have the opportunity to start bringing down costs, as opposed to just leaving millions of people out in the cold."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"46.1","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Your five seconds went away a long time ago."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"46.2","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"All right, Governor."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"46.3","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Governor, tell tell the president directly why you think what he just said is wrong about Obamacare?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"47.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well, I did with my first statement."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"47.2","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"First of all, I like the way we did it in Massachusetts."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"47.3","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I like the fact that in my state, we had Republicans and Democrats come together and work together."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"47.4","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"What you did instead was to push through a plan without a single Republican vote."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"47.5","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"As a matter of fact, when Massachusetts did something quite extraordinary elected a Republican senator to stop Obamacare, you pushed it through anyway."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"47.6","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So entirely on a partisan basis, instead of bringing America together and having a discussion on this important topic, you pushed through something that you and Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid thought was the best answer and drove it through."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"47.7","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"What we did in a legislature eighty seven percent Democrat, we worked together; two hundred legislators in my legislature, only two voted against the plan by the time we were finished."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"47.8","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"What were some differences?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"47.9","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We didn't raise taxes."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"47.10","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You've raised them by dollar one trillion under Obamacare."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"47.11","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We didn't cut Medicare."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"47.12","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Of course, we don't have Medicare, but we didn't cut Medicare by dollar seven hundred sixteen billion."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"47.13","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We didn't put in place a board that can tell people ultimately what treatments they're going to receive."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"47.14","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We didn't also do something that I think a number of people across this country recognize, which is put put people in a position where they're going to lose the insurance they had and they wanted."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"47.15","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Right now, the CBO says up to twenty million people will lose their insurance as Obamacare goes into effect next year."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"47.16","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And likewise, a study by McKinsey and Company of American businesses said thirty percent of them are anticipating dropping people from coverage."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"47.17","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So for those reasons, for the tax, for Medicare, for this board, and for people losing their insurance, this is why the American people don't want Medicare don't want Obamacare."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"47.18","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It's why Republicans said, do not do this, and the Republicans had had the plan."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"47.19","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They put a plan out."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"47.20","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They put out a plan, a bipartisan plan."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"47.21","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It was swept aside."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"47.22","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I think something this big, this important has to be done on a bipartisan basis."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"47.23","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And we have to have a president who can reach across the aisle and fashion important legislation with the input from both parties."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"48.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Governor Romney said this has to be done on a bipartisan basis."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"48.2","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"This was a bipartisan idea."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"48.3","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"In fact, it was a Republican idea."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"48.4","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And Governor Romney at the beginning of this debate wrote and said what we did in Massachusetts could be a model for the nation."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"48.5","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And I agree that the Democratic legislators in Massachusetts might have given some advice to Republicans in Congress about how to cooperate, but the fact of the matter is, we used the same advisers, and they say it's the same plan."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"48.6","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It when Governor Romney talks about this board, for example, unelected board that we've created, what this is, is a group of health care experts, doctors, et cetera, to figure out, how can we reduce the cost of care in the system overall?"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"48.7","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Because there there are two ways of dealing with our health care crisis."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"48.8","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"One is to simply leave a whole bunch of people uninsured and let them fend for themselves, to let businesses figure out how long they can continue to pay premiums until finally they just give up, and their workers are no longer getting insured, and that's been the trend line."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"48.9","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Or, alternatively, we can figure out, how do we make the cost of care more effective?"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"48.10","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And there are ways of doing it."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"48.11","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So at Cleveland Clinic, one of the best health care systems in the world, they actually provide great care cheaper than average."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"48.12","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And the reason they do is because they do some smart things."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"48.13","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They they say, if a patient's coming in, let's get all the doctors together at once, do one test instead of having the patient run around with ten tests."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"48.14","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Let's make sure that we're providing preventive care so we're catching the onset of something like diabetes."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"48.15","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Let's let's pay providers on the basis of performance as opposed to on the basis of how many procedures they've they've engaged in."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"48.16","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Now, so what this board does is basically identifies best practices and says, let's use the purchasing power of Medicare and Medicaid to help to institutionalize all these good things that we do."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"48.17","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And the fact of the matter is that, when Obamacare is fully implemented, we're going to be in a position to show that costs are going down."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"48.18","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And over the last two years, health care premiums have gone up it's true but they've gone up slower than any time in the last fifty years."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"48.19","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So we're already beginning to see progress."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"48.20","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"In the meantime, folks out there with insurance, you're already getting a rebate."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"48.21","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Let me make one last point."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"48.22","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Governor Romney says, we should replace it, I'm just going to repeal it, but but we can replace it with something."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"48.23","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But the problem is, he hasn't described what exactly we'd replace it with, other than saying we're going to leave it to the states."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"48.24","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But the fact of the matter is that some of the prescriptions that he's offered, like letting you buy insurance across state lines, there's no indication that that somehow is going to help somebody who's got a pre existing condition be able to finally buy insurance."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"48.25","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"In fact, it's estimated that by repealing Obamacare, you're looking at fifty million people losing health insurance|"}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"49.1","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Let's|"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"50.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"at a time when it's vitally important."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"51.1","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Let's let the governor explain what you would do|"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"52.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well|"}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"53.1","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"if Obamacare is repealed."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"53.2","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"How would you replace it?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"54.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well, actually it's it's it's a lengthy description."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"54.2","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But, number one, preexisting conditions are covered under my plan."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"54.3","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Number two, young people are able to stay on their family plan."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"54.4","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's already offered in the private marketplace."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"54.5","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You don't have to have the government mandate that for that to occur."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"54.6","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But let's come back to something the president and I agree on, which is the key task we have in health care is to get the cost down so it's more affordable for families."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"54.7","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And then he has as a model for doing that a board of people at the government, an unelected board, appointed board, who are going to decide what kind of treatment you ought to have."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"54.8","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"In my opinion, the government is not effective in in bringing down the cost of almost anything."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"54.9","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"As a matter of fact, free people and free enterprises trying to find ways to do things better are able to be more effective in bringing down the cost than the government will ever be."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"54.10","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Your example of the Cleveland Clinic is my case in point, along with several others I could describe."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"54.11","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"This is the private market."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"54.12","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"These are small these are enterprises competing with each other, learning how to do better and better jobs."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"54.13","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I used to consult to businesses excuse me, to hospitals and to health care providers."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"54.14","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I was astonished at the creativity and innovation that exists in the American people."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"54.15","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"In order to bring the cost of health care down, we don't need to have a board of fifteen people telling us what kinds of treatments we should have."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"54.16","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We instead need to put insurance plans, providers, hospitals, doctors on target such that they have an incentive, as you say, performance pay, for doing an excellent job, for keeping costs down, and that's happening."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"54.17","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Innermountain Healthcare does it superbly well, Mayo Clinic is doing it superbly well, Cleveland Clinic, others."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"54.18","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But the right answer is not to have the federal government take over health care and start mandating to the providers across America, telling a patient and a doctor what kind of treatment they can have."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"54.19","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's the wrong way to go."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"54.20","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The private market and individual responsibility always work best."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"55.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Let me just point out first of all this board that we're talking about can't make decisions about what treatments are given."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"55.2","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's explicitly prohibited in the law."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"55.3","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But let's go back to what Governor Romney indicated, that under his plan, he would be able to cover people with preexisting conditions."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"55.4","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well, actually Governor, that isn't what your plan does."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"55.5","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"What your plan does is to duplicate what's already the law, which says if you are out of health insurance for three months, then you can end up getting continuous coverage and an insurance company can't deny you if you've if it's been under ninety days."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"55.6","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But that's already the law and that doesn't help the millions of people out there with preexisting conditions."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"55.7","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"There's a reason why Governor Romney set up the plan that he did in Massachusetts."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"55.8","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It wasn't a government takeover of health care."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"55.9","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It was the largest expansion of private insurance."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"55.10","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But what it does say is that insurers, you've got to take everybody."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"55.11","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Now, that also means that you've got more customers."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"55.12","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But when when Governor Romney says that he'll replace it with something, but can't detail how it will be in fact replaced and the reason he set up the system he did in Massachusetts was because there isn't a better way of dealing with the preexisting conditions problem."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"55.13","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It just reminds me of, you know, he says that he's going to close deductions and loopholes for his tax plan."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"55.14","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's how it's going to be paid for, but we don't know the details."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"55.15","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"He says that he's going to replace Dodd Frank, Wall Street reform, but we don't know exactly which ones."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"55.16","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"He won't tell us."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"55.17","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"He now says he's going to replace Obamacare and ensure that all the good things that are in it are going to be in there and you don't have to worry."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"55.18","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And at some point, I think the American people have to ask themselves, is the reason that Governor Romney is keeping all these plans to replace secret because they're too good?"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"55.19","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Is it is it because that somehow middle class families are going to benefit too much from them?"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"55.20","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"No."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"55.21","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The reason is, is because, when we reform Wall Street, when we tackle the problem of pre existing conditions, then, you know, these are tough problems and we've got to make choices."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"55.22","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And the choices we've made have been ones that ultimately are benefiting middle class families all across the country."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"56.1","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"We're going to move to|"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"57.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"No."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"57.2","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I I have to respond to that."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"58.1","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"No, but|"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"59.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Which is which is my experience as a governor is if I come in and and lay down a piece of legislation and say, It's my way or the highway, I don't get a lot done."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"59.2","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"What I do is the same way that Tip O'Neill and Ronald Reagan worked together some years ago."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"59.3","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"When Ronald Reagan ran for office, he laid out the principles that he was going to foster."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"59.4","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"He said he was going to lower tax rates."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"59.5","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"He said he was going to broaden the base."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"59.6","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You've said the same thing, you're going to simplify the tax code, broaden the base."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"59.7","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Those are my principles."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"59.8","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I want to bring down the tax burden on middle income families."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"59.9","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And I'm going to work together with Congress to say, OK, what what are the various ways we could bring down deductions, for instance?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"59.10","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"One way, for instance, would be to have a single number."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"59.11","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Make up a number, dollar twenty five thousand, dollar fifty thousand."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"59.12","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Anybody can have deductions up to that amount."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"59.13","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And then that number disappears for high income people."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"59.14","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's one way one could do it."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"59.15","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"One could follow Bowles Simpson as a model and take deduction by deduction and make differences that way."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"59.16","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"There are alternatives to accomplish the objective I have, which is to bring down rates, broaden the base, simplify the code, and create incentives for growth."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"59.17","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And with regards to health care, you had remarkable details with regards to my pre existing condition plan."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"59.18","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You obviously studied up on on my plan."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"59.19","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"In fact, I do have a plan that deals with people with pre existing conditions."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"59.20","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's part of my health care plan."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"59.21","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And what we did in Massachusetts is a model for the nation state by state."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"59.22","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And I said that at that time."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"59.23","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The federal government taking over health care for the entire nation and whisking aside the tenth Amendment, which gives states the rights for these kinds of things, is not the course for America to have a stronger, more vibrant economy."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"60.1","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"That is a terrific segue to our next segment, and is the role of government."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"60.2","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"And and let's see."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"60.3","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Role of government."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"60.4","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"And it is you are first on this, Mister President."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"60.5","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"And the question is this."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"60.6","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Do you believe, both of you but you had the first two minutes on this, Mister President do you believe there's a fundamental difference between the two of you as to how you view the mission of the federal government?"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"61.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well, I definitely think there are differences."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"62.1","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"And do you yeah."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"63.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The first role of the federal government is to keep the American people safe."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"63.2","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's its most basic function."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"63.3","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And as commander in chief, that is something that I've worked on and thought about every single day that I've been in the Oval Office."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"63.4","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But I also believe that government has the capacity, the federal government has the capacity to help open up opportunity and create ladders of opportunity and to create frameworks where the American people can succeed."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"63.5","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Look, the genius of America is the free enterprise system and freedom and the fact that people can go out there and start a business, work on an idea, make their own decisions."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"63.6","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But as Abraham Lincoln understood, there are also some things we do better together."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"63.7","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So, in the middle of the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln said, let's help to finance the Transcontinental Railroad, let's start the National Academy of Sciences, let's start land grant colleges, because we want to give these gateways of opportunity for all Americans, because if all Americans are getting opportunity, we're all going to be better off."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"63.8","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That doesn't restrict people's freedom."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"63.9","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That enhances it."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"63.10","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And so what I've tried to do as president is to apply those same principles."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"63.11","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And when it comes to education what I've said is we've got to reform schools that are not working."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"63.12","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We use something called Race to the Top."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"63.13","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Wasn't a top down approach, Governor."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"63.14","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"What we've said is to states, we'll give you more money if you initiate refor Miss And as a consequence, you had forty six states around the country who have made a real difference."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"63.15","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But what I've also said is let's hire another one hundred thousand math and science teachers to make sure we maintain our technological lead and our people are skilled and able to succeed."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"63.16","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And hard pressed states right now can't all do that."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"63.17","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"In fact we've seen layoffs of hundreds of thousands of teachers over the last several years, and Governor Romney doesn't think we need more teachers."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"63.18","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I do, because I think that that is the kind of investment where the federal government can help."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"63.19","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It can't do it all, but it can make a difference."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"63.20","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And as a consequence we'll have a better trained workforce and that will create jobs because companies want to locate in places where we've got a skilled workforce."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"64.1","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Two minutes, Governor, on the role of government."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"64.2","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Your view?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"65.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well, first, I love great schools."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"65.2","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Massachusetts, our schools are ranked number one of all fifty states."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"65.3","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And the key to great schools, great teachers."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"65.4","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So I reject the idea that I don't believe in great teachers or more teachers."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"65.5","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Every school district, every state should make that decision on their own."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"65.6","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The role of government: Look behind us."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"65.7","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The Constitution and the Declaration of Independence."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"65.8","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The role of government is to promote and protect the principles of those documents."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"65.9","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"First, life and liberty."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"65.10","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We have a responsibility to protect the lives and liberties of our people, and that means a military second to none."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"65.11","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I do not believe in cutting our military."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"65.12","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I believe in maintaining the strength of America's military."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"65.13","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Second, in that line that says we are endowed by our creator with our rights, I believe we must maintain our commitment to religious tolerance and freedom in this country."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"65.14","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That statement also says that we are endowed by our creator with the right to pursue happiness as we choose."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"65.15","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I interpret that as, one, making sure that those people who are less fortunate and can't care for themselves are cared by by one another."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"65.16","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We're a nation that believes that we're all children of the same god and we care for those that have difficulties, those that are elderly and have problems and challenges, those that are disabled."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"65.17","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We care for them."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"65.18","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And we we look for discovery and innovation, all these things desired out of the American heart to provide the pursuit of happiness for our citizens."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"65.19","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But we also believe in maintaining for individuals the right to pursue their dreams and not to have the government substitute itself for the rights of free individuals."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"65.20","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And what we're seeing right now is, in my view, a a trickle down government approach, which has government thinking it can do a better job than free people pursuing their drea Miss And it's not working."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"65.21","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And the proof of that is twenty three million people out of work."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"65.22","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The proof of that is one out of six people in poverty."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"65.23","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The proof of that is we've gone from thirty two million on food stamps to forty seven million on food stamps."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"65.24","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The proof of that is that fifty percent of college graduates this year can't find work."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"66.1","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"All right."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"67.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We know that the path we're taking is not working."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"67.2","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It's time for a new path."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"68.1","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"All right."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"68.2","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Let's go through some specifics in terms of what how each of you views the role of government."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"68.3","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"How do education."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"68.4","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Does the federal government have a responsibility to improve the quality of public education in America?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"69.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well, the primary responsibility for education is is, of course, at the state and local level."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"69.2","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But the federal government also can play a very important role."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"69.3","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And I and I agree with Secretary Arne Duncan, he's some ideas he's put forward on Race to the Top, not all of them, but some of them I agree with and and congratulate him for pursuing that."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"69.4","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The federal government can get local and and state schools to do a better job."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"69.5","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"My own view, by the way, is I've added to that."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"69.6","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I happen to believe, I want the kids that are getting federal dollars from IDEA or Title I these are disabled kids or or or poor kids or or lower income kids, rather, I want them to be able to go to the school of their choice."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"69.7","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So all federal funds, instead of going to the to the state or to the school district, I'd have go, if you will, follow the child and let the parent and the child decide where to send their their their student."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"70.1","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"How do you see the federal government's responsibility to, as I say, to improve the quality of public education in this country?"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"71.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well, as I've indicated, I think that it has a significant role to play."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"71.2","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Through our Race to the Top program, we've worked with Republican and Democratic governors to initiate major reforms, and they're having an impact right now."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"72.1","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Do you think you have a difference with your views and and those of Governor Romney on about education and the federal government?"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"73.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You know, this is where budgets matter, because budgets reflect choices."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"73.2","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So when Governor Romney indicates that he wants to cut taxes and potentially benefit folks like me and him, and to pay for it we're having to initiate significant cuts in federal support for education, that makes a difference."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"73.3","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You know, his his running mate, Congressman Ryan, put forward a budget that reflects many of the principles that Governor Romney's talked about."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"73.4","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And it wasn't very detailed."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"73.5","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"This seems to be a trend."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"73.6","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But but what it did do is to if you extrapolated how much money we're talking about, you'd look at cutting the education budget by up to twenty percent."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"73.7","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"When it comes to community colleges, we are seeing great work done out there all over the country because we have the opportunity to train people for jobs that exist right now."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"73.8","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And one of the things I suspect Governor Romney and I probably agree on is getting businesses to work with community colleges so that they're setting up their training progra Miss |"}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"74.1","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Do you do you agree, Governor?"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"75.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Let me just finish the point."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"75.2","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The where they're partnering so that they're designing training progra Miss And people who are going through them know that there's a job waiting for them if they complete it."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"75.3","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That makes a big difference, but that requires some federal support."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"75.4","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Let me just say one final example."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"75.5","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"When it comes to making college affordable, whether it's two year or four year, one of the things that I did as president was we were sending dollar sixty billion to banks and lenders as middlemen for the student loan program, even though the loans were guaranteed."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"75.6","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So there was no risk for the banks or the lenders, but they were taking billions out of the system."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"75.7","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And we said, Why not cut out the middleman?"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"75.8","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And as a consequence, what we've been able to do is to provide millions more students assistance, lower or keep low interest rates on student loans."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"75.9","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And this is an example of where our priorities make a difference."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"75.10","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Governor Romney, I genuinely believe cares about education, but when he tells a student that, you know, you should borrow money from your parents to go to college, you know, that indicates the degree to which, you know, there may not be as much of a focus on the fact that folks like myself, folks like Michelle, kids probably who attend University of Denver, just don't have that option."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"75.11","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And for us to be able to make sure that they've got that opportunity and they can walk through that door, that is vitally important not just to those kids."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"75.12","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It's how we're going to grow this economy over the long term."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"76.1","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"We're running out of time, gentlemen."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"77.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Mister President, Mister President, you're entitled as the president to your own airplane and to your own house, but not to your own facts."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"77.2","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"All right, I'm not going to cut education funding."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"77.3","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I don't have any plan to cut education funding and and grants that go to people going to college."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"77.4","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I'm planning on to grow."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"77.5","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So I'm not planning on making changes there."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"77.6","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But you make a very good point, which is that the place you put your money just makes a pretty clear indication of where your heart is."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"77.7","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You put dollar ninety billion into into green jobs."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"77.8","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And I look, I'm all in favor of green energy."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"77.9","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"dollar ninety billion, that would have that would have hired two million teachers."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"77.10","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"dollar ninety billion."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"77.11","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And these businesses, many of them have gone out of business, I think about half of them, of the ones have been invested in have gone out of business."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"77.12","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"A number of them happened to be owned by people who were contributors to your campaigns."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"77.13","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Look, the right course for America's government, we were talking about the role of government, is not to become the economic player, picking winners and losers, telling people what kind of health treatment they can receive, taking over the health care system that has existed in this country for a long, long time and has produced the best health records in the world."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"77.14","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The right answer for government is say, How do we make the private sector become more efficient and more effective?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"77.15","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"How do we get schools to be more competitive?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"77.16","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Let's grade them."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"77.17","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I propose we grade our schools so parents know which schools are succeeding and failing, so they can take their child to a to a school that he's being more successful."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"77.18","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I don't want to cut our commitment to education."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"77.19","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I wanted to make it more effective and efficient."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"77.20","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And by the way, I've had that experience."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"77.21","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I don't just talk about it."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"77.22","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I've been there."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"77.23","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Massachusetts schools are ranked number one in the nation."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"77.24","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"This is not because I didn't have commitment to education."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"77.25","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It's because I care about education for all of our kids."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"78.1","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"All right, gentlemen|"}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"78.2","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Excuse me."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"78.3","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Excuse me, sir."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"78.4","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"We've got we've got barely have three minutes left."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"78.5","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"I'm not going to grade the two of you and say your answers have been too long or I've done a poor job."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"79.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You've done a great job."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"80.1","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Oh, well, no."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"80.2","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"But the fact is government the role of government and governing, we've lost a pod in other words."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"80.3","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"So we only have three three minutes left in the in the debate before we go to your closing statements."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"80.4","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"And so I want to ask finally here, and remember, we've got three minutes total time here and the question is this."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"80.5","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Many of the legislative functions of the federal government right now are in a state of paralysis as a result of partisan gridlock."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"80.6","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"If elected, in your case, if re elected, in your case, what would you do about that?"}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"80.7","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Governor?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"81.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Jim, I had the great experience it didn't seem like it at the time of being elected in a state where my legislature was eighty seven percent Democrat."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"81.2","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And that meant I figured out from day one I had to get along and I had to work across the aisle to get anything done."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"81.3","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We drove our schools to be number one in the nation."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"81.4","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We cut taxes nineteen times."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"82.1","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"But what would you do as president?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"83.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We as president, I will sit on day one actually, the day after I get elected I'll sit down with leaders the Democratic leaders, as well as Republican leaders, and continue as we did in my state we met every Monday for a couple hours, talked about the issues and the challenges in the in the in our state in that case."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"83.2","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We have to work on a collaborative basis, not because we're going to compromise our principle, but because there's common ground."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"83.3","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And the challenges America faces right now look, the reason I'm in this race is there are people that are really hurting today in this country."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"83.4","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And we face this deficit could crush the future generations."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"83.5","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"What's happening in the Middle East, there are developments around the world that are of real concern."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"84.1","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"All right."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"85.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And Republicans and Democrats both love America."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"85.2","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But we need to have leadership leadership in Washington that will actually bring people together and get the job done and could not care less if if it's a Republican or a Democrat."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"85.3","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I've done it before."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"85.4","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I'll do it again."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"86.1","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Mister President?"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"87.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well, first of all, I think Governor Romney's going to have a busy first day, because he's also going to repeal Obamacare, which will not be very popular among Democrats as you're sitting down with them."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"87.2","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But, look, my philosophy has been, I will take ideas from anybody, Democrat or Republican, as long as they're advancing the cause of making middle class families stronger and giving ladders of opportunity to the middle class."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"87.3","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's how we cut taxes for middle class families and small businesses."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"87.4","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's how we cut a trillion dollars of spending that wasn't advancing that cause."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"87.5","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's how we signed three trade deals into law that are helping us to double our exports and sell more American products around the world."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"87.6","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's how we repealed don't ask/don't tell."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"87.7","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's how we ended the war in Iraq, as I promised, and that's how we're going to wind down the war in Afghanistan."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"87.8","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's how we went after Al Qaida and bin Laden."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"87.9","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So we've we've seen progress even under Republican control of the House of Representatives."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"87.10","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But, ultimately, part of being principled, part of being a leader is, A, being able to describe exactly what it is that you intend to do, not just saying, I'll sit down, but you have to have a plan."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"87.11","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Number two, what's important is occasionally you've got to say no, to to to folks both in your own party and in the other party."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"87.12","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And, you know, yes, have we had some fights between me and the Republicans when when they fought back against us reining in the excesses of Wall Street?"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"87.13","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Absolutely, because that was a fight that needed to be had."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"87.14","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"When when we were fighting about whether or not we were going to make sure that Americans had more security with their health insurance and they said no, yes, that was a fight that we needed to have."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"88.1","time":"time 1","role":"moderator"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"89.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And so part of leadership and governing is both saying what it is that you are for, but also being willing to say no to some things."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"89.2","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And I've got to tell you, Governor Romney, when it comes to his own party during the course of this campaign, has not displayed that willingness to say no to some of the more extreme parts of his party."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"90.1","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"That brings us to closing statements."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"90.2","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"It was a coin toss."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"90.3","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Governor Romney, you won the toss and you elected to go last, so you have a closing two minutes, Mister President."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well, Jim, I want to thank you, and I want to thank Governor Romney, because I think was a terrific debate, and I very much appreciate it."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.2","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And I want to thank the University of Denver."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.3","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You know, four years ago, we were going through a major crisis."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.4","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And yet my faith and confidence in the American future is undiminished."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.5","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And the reason is because of its people, because of the woman I met in North Carolina who decided at fifty five to go back to school because she wanted to inspire her daughter and now has a job from that new training that she's gotten; because a company in Minnesota who was willing to give up salaries and perks for their executives to make sure that they didn't lay off workers during a recession."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.6","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The auto workers that you meet in Toledo or Detroit take such pride in building the best cars in the world, not just because of a paycheck, but because it gives them that sense of pride, that they're helping to build America."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.7","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And so the question now is how do we build on those strengths."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.8","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And everything that I've tried to do, and everything that I'm now proposing for the next four years in terms of improving our education system or developing American energy or making sure that we're closing loopholes for companies that are shipping jobs overseas and focusing on small businesses and companies that are creating jobs here in the United States, or closing our deficit in a responsible, balanced way that allows us to invest in our future."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.9","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"All those things are designed to make sure that the American people, their genius, their grit, their determination, is is channeled and and they have an opportunity to succeed."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.10","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And everybody's getting a fair shot."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.11","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And everybody's getting a fair share everybody's doing a fair share, and everybody's playing by the same rules."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.12","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You know, four years ago, I said that I'm not a perfect man and I wouldn't be a perfect president."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.13","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And that's probably a promise that Governor Romney thinks I've kept."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.14","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But I also promised that I'd fight every single day on behalf of the American people, the middle class, and all those who were striving to get into the middle class."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.15","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I've kept that promise and if you'll vote for me, then I promise I'll fight just as hard in a second term."}
{"person":"LEHRER","tot":"92.1","time":"time 1","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Governor Romney, your two minute closing."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"93.1","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Thank you, Jim, and Mister President."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"93.2","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And thank you for tuning in this evening."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"93.3","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"This is a this is an important election and I'm concerned about America."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"93.4","time":"time 1","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I'm concerned about the direction America has been taking over the last four years."}

{"person":"QUESTION","tot":"2.1","time":"time 2","role":"other","dialogue":"Mister President, Governor Romney, as a twenty year old college student, all I hear from professors, neighbors and others is that when I graduate, I will have little chance to get employment."}
{"person":"QUESTION","tot":"2.2","time":"time 2","role":"other","dialogue":"What can you say to reassure me, but more importantly my parents, that I will be able to sufficiently support myself after I graduate?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"3.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Thank you, Jeremy."}

{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"3.5","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Your question your question is one that's being asked by college kids all over this country."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"3.6","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I was in Pennsylvania with someone who had just graduated this was in Philadelphia and she said, I've got my degree."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"3.7","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I can't find a job."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"3.8","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I've got three part time jobs."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"3.9","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They're just barely enough to pay for my food and pay for an apartment."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"3.10","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I can't begin to pay back my student loans."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"3.11","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So what we have to do is two things."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"3.12","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We have to make sure that we make it easier for kids to afford college."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"3.13","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And also make sure that when they get out of college, there's a job."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"3.14","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"When I was governor of Massachusetts, to get a high school degree, you had to pass an exam."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"3.15","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"If you graduated in the top quarter of your airlines, we gave you a John and Abigail Adams scholarship, four years tuition free in the college of your choice in Massachusetts, it's a public institution."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"3.16","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I want to make sure we keep our Pell grant program growing."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"3.17","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We're also going to have our loan program, so that people are able to afford school."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"3.18","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But the key thing is to make sure you can get a job when you get out of school."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"3.19","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And what's happened over the last four years has been very, very hard for America's young people."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"3.20","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I want you to be able to get a job."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"3.21","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I know what it takes to get this economy going."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"3.22","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"With half of college kids graduating this year without a college excuse me, without a job."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"3.23","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And without a college level job, that's just unacceptable."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"3.24","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And likewise you've got more and more debt on your back."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"3.25","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So more debt and less jobs."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"3.26","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I'm going to change that."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"3.27","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I know what it takes to create good jobs again."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"3.28","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I know what it takes to make sure that you have the kind of opportunity you deserve."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"3.29","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And kids across this country are going to recognize, we're bringing back an economy."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"3.30","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It's not going to be like the last four years."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"3.31","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The middle class has been crushed over the last four years, and jobs have been too scarce."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"3.32","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I know what it takes to bring them back, and I'm going to do that, and make sure that when you graduate when do you graduate?"}
{"person":"QUESTION","tot":"4.1","time":"time 2","role":"other","dialogue":"two thousand fourteen."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"5.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"two thousand fourteen."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"5.2","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"When you come out in two thousand fourteen, I presume I'm going to be president."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"5.3","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I'm going to make sure you get a job."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"5.4","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Thanks Jeremy."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"5.5","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Yeah, you bet."}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"6.1","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Mister President?"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"7.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Jeremy, first of all, your future is bright."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"7.2","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And the fact that you're making an investment in higher education is critical."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"7.3","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Not just to you, but to the entire nation."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"7.4","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Now, the most important thing we can do is to make sure that we are creating jobs in this country."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"7.5","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But not just jobs, good paying jobs."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"7.6","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Ones that can support a family."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"7.7","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And what I want to do, is build on the five million jobs that we've created over the last thirty months in the private sector alone."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"7.8","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And there are a bunch of things we can do to make sure your future is bright."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"7.9","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Number one, I want to build manufacturing jobs in this country again."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"7.10","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Now when Governor Romney said we should let Detroit go bankrupt."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"7.11","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I said we're going to bet on American workers and the American auto industry and it's come surging back."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"7.12","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I want to do that in industries, not just in Detroit, but all across the country and that means we change our tax code so we're giving incentives to companies that are investing here in the United States and creating jobs here."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"7.13","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It also means we're helping them and small businesses to export all around the world to new markets."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"7.14","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Number two, we've got to make sure that we have the best education system in the world."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"7.15","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And the fact that you're going to college is great, but I want everybody to get a great education and we've worked hard to make sure that student loans are available for folks like you, but I also want to make sure that community colleges are offering slots for workers to get retrained for the jobs that are out there right now and the jobs of the future."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"7.16","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Number three, we've got to control our own energy."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"7.17","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Now, not only oil and natural gas, which we've been investing in; but also, we've got to make sure we're building the energy source of the future, not just thinking about next year, but ten years from now, twenty years from now."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"7.18","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's why we've invested in solar and wind and biofuels, energy efficient cars."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"7.19","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We've got to reduce our deficit, but we've got to do it in a balanced way."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"7.20","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Asking the wealthy to pay a little bit more along with cuts so that we can invest in education like yours."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"7.21","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And let's take the money that we've been spending on war over the last decade to rebuild America, roads, bridges schools."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"7.22","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We do those things, not only is your future going to be bright but America's future is going to bright as well."}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"8.1","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Let me ask you for more immediate answer and begin with Mister Romney just quickly what what can you do?"}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"8.2","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"We're looking at a situation where forty percent of the unemployed have been unemployed have been unemployed for six months or more."}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"8.3","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"They don't have the two years that Jeremy has."}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"8.4","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"What about those long term unemployed who need a job right now?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"9.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well what you're seeing in this country is twenty three million people struggling to find a job."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"9.2","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And a lot of them, as you say, Candy, have been out of work for a long, long, long time."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"9.3","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The president's policies have been exercised over the last four years and they haven't put Americans back to work."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"9.4","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We have fewer people working today than we had when the president took office."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"9.5","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"If the the unemployment rate was seven."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"9.6","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"eight percent when he took office, it's seven."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"9.7","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"eight percent now."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"9.8","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But if you calculated that unemployment rate, taking back the people who dropped out of the workforce, it would be ten."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"9.9","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"seven percent."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"9.10","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We have not made the progress we need to make to put people back to work."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"9.11","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's why I put out a five point plan that gets America twelve million new jobs in four years and rising take home pay."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"9.12","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It's going to help Jeremy get a job when he comes out of school."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"9.13","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It's going to help people across the country that are unemployed right now."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"9.14","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And one thing that the president said, which I want to make sure that we understand, he said that I said we should take Detroit bankrupt."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"9.15","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And that's right."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"9.16","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"My plan was to have the company go through bankruptcy like seven Eleven did and Macy's and Condell Airlines and come out stronger."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"9.17","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And I know he keeps saying, you want to take Detroit bankrupt."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"9.18","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well, the president took Detroit bankrupt."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"9.19","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You took General Motors bankrupt."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"9.20","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You took Chrysler bankrupt."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"9.21","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So when you say that I wanted to take the auto industry bankrupt, you actually did."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"9.22","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And I think it's important to know that that was a process that was necessary to get those companies back on their feet, so they could start hiring more people."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"9.23","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That was precisely what I recommended and ultimately what happened."}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"10.1","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Let me give the president a chance."}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"10.2","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Go ahead."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"11.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Candy, what Governor Romney said just isn't true."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"11.2","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"He wanted to take them into bankruptcy without providing them any way to stay open."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"11.3","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And we would have lost a million jobs."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"11.4","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And that don't take my word for it, take the executives at GM and Chrysler, some of whom are Republicans, may even support Governor Romney."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"11.5","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But they'll tell you his prescription wasn't going to work."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"11.6","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And Governor Romney's says he's got a five point plan?"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"11.7","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Governor Romney doesn't have a five point plan."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"11.8","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"He has a one point plan."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"11.9","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And that plan is to make sure that folks at the top play by a different set of rules."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"11.10","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's been his philosophy in the private sector, that's been his philosophy as governor, that's been his philosophy as a presidential candidate."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"11.11","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You can make a lot of money and pay lower tax rates than somebody who makes a lot less."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"11.12","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You can ship jobs overseas and get tax breaks for it."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"11.13","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You can invest in a company, bankrupt it, lay off the workers, strip away their pensions, and you still make money."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"11.14","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's exactly the philosophy that we've seen in place for the last decade."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"11.15","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's what's been squeezing middle class families."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"11.16","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And we have fought back for four years to get out of that mess."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"11.17","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The last thing we need to do is to go back to the very same policies that got us there."}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"12.1","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Mister President, the next question is going to be for you here."}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"12.2","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"And, Mister Romney Governor Romney there'll be plenty of chances here to go on, but I want to|"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"13.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That that Detroit that Detroit answer|"}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"14.1","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"We have all these folks."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"15.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"that Detroit answer|"}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"16.1","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"I will let you absolutely|"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"17.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"and the rest of the answer, way off the mark."}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"18.1","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"OK."}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"18.2","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Will will you certainly will have lots of time here coming up."}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"18.3","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Because I want to move you on to something that's sort of connected to cars here, and and go over."}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"18.4","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"And we want to get a question from Phillip Tricolla."}
{"person":"QUESTION","tot":"19.1","time":"time 2","role":"other","dialogue":"Your energy secretary, Steven Chu, has now been on record three times stating it's not policy of his department to help lower gas prices."}
{"person":"QUESTION","tot":"19.2","time":"time 2","role":"other","dialogue":"Do you agree with Secretary Chu that this is not the job of the Energy Department?"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"20.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The most important thing we can do is to make sure we control our own energy."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"20.2","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So here's what I've done since I've been president."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"20.3","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We have increased oil production to the highest levels in sixteen years."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"20.4","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Natural gas production is the highest it's been in decades."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"20.5","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We have seen increases in coal production and coal employment."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"20.6","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But what I've also said is we can't just produce traditional source of energy."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"20.7","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We've also got to look to the future."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"20.8","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's why we doubled fuel efficiency standards on cars."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"20.9","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That means that in the middle of the next decade, any car you buy, you're going to end up going twice as far on a gallon of gas."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"20.10","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's why we doubled clean clean energy production like wind and solar and biofuels."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"20.11","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And all these things have contributed to us lowering our oil imports to the lowest levels in sixteen years."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"20.12","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Now, I want to build on that."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"20.13","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And that means, yes, we still continue to open up new areas for drilling."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"20.14","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We continue to make it a priority for us to go after natural gas."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"20.15","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We've got potentially six hundred thousand jobs and one hundred years worth of energy right beneath our feet with natural gas."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"20.16","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And we can do it in an environmentally sound way."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"20.17","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But we've also got to continue to figure out how we have efficiency energy, because ultimately that's how we're going to reduce demand and that's what's going to keep gas prices lower."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"20.18","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Now, Governor Romney will say he's got an all of the above plan, but basically his plan is to let the oil companies write the energy policies."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"20.19","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So he's got the oil and gas part, but he doesn't have the clean energy part."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"20.20","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And if we are only thinking about tomorrow or the next day and not thinking about ten years from now, we're not going to control our own economic future."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"20.21","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Because China, Germany, they're making these investments."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"20.22","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And I'm not going to cede those jobs of the future to those countries."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"20.23","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I expect those new energy sources to be built right here in the United States."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"20.24","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's going to help Jeremy get a job."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"20.25","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It's also going to make sure that you're not paying as much for gas."}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"21.1","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Governor, on the subject of gas prices?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"22.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well, let's look at the president's policies, all right, as opposed to the rhetoric, because we've had four years of policies being played out."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"22.2","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And the president's right in terms of the additional oil production, but none of it came on federal land."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"22.3","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"As a matter of fact, oil production is down fourteen percent this year on federal land, and gas production was down nine percent."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"22.4","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Why?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"22.5","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Because the president cut in half the number of licenses and permits for drilling on federal lands, and in federal waters."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"22.6","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So where'd the increase come from?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"22.7","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well a lot of it came from the Bakken Range in North Dakota."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"22.8","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"What was his participation there?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"22.9","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The administration brought a criminal action against the people drilling up there for oil, this massive new resource we have."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"22.10","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And what was the cost?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"22.11","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"twenty or twenty five birds were killed and brought out a migratory bird act to go after them on a criminal basis."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"22.12","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Look, I want to make sure we use our oil, our coal, our gas, our nuclear, our renewables."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"22.13","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I believe very much in our renewable capabilities; ethanol, wind, solar will be an important part of our energy mix."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"22.14","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But what we don't need is to have the president keeping us from taking advantage of oil, coal and gas."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"22.15","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"This has not been Mister Oil, or Mister Gas, or Mister Coal."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"22.16","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Talk to the people that are working in those industries."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"22.17","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I was in coal country."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"22.18","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"People grabbed my arms and said, Please save my job."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"22.19","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The head of the EPA said, You can't build a coal plant."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"22.20","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You'll virtually it's virtually impossible given our regulations."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"22.21","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"When the president ran for office, he said if you build a coal plant, you can go ahead, but you'll go bankrupt."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"22.22","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's not the right course for America."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"22.23","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Let's take advantage of the energy resources we have, as well as the energy ources for the future."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"22.24","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And if we do that, if we do what I'm planning on doing, which is getting us energy independent, North America energy independence within eight years, you're going to see manufacturing jobs come back."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"22.25","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Because our energy is low cost, that are already beginning to come back because of our abundant energy."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"22.26","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I'll get America and North America energy independent."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"22.27","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I'll do it by more drilling, more permits and licenses."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"22.28","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We're going to bring that pipeline in from Canada."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"22.29","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"How in the world the president said no to that pipeline?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"22.30","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I will never know."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"22.31","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"This is about bringing good jobs back for the middle class of America, and that's what I'm going to do."}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"23.1","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Mister President, let me just see if I can move you to the gist of this question, which is, are we looking at the new normal?"}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"23.2","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"I can tell you that tomorrow morning, a lot of people in Hempstead will wake up and fill up and they will find that the price of gas is over dollar four a gallon."}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"23.3","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Is it within the purview of the government to bring those prices down, or are we looking at the new normal?"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"24.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Candy, there's no doubt that world demand's gone up, but our production is going up, and we're using oil more efficiently."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"24.2","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And very little of what Governor Romney just said is true."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"24.3","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We've opened up public lands."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"24.4","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We're actually drilling more on public lands than in the previous administration and my the previous president was an oil man."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"24.5","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And natural gas isn't just appearing magically."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"24.6","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We're encouraging it and working with the industry."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"24.7","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And when I hear Governor Romney say he's a big coal guy, I mean, keep in mind, when Governor, when you were governor of Massachusetts, you stood in front of a coal plant and pointed at it and said, This plant kills, and took great pride in shutting it down."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"24.8","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And now suddenly you're a big champion of coal."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"24.9","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So what I've tried to do is be consistent."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"24.10","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"With respect to something like coal, we made the largest investment in clean coal technology, to make sure that even as we're producing more coal, we're producing it cleaner and smarter."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"24.11","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Same thing with oil, same thing with natural gas."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"24.12","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And the proof is our oil imports are down to the lowest levels in twenty years."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"24.13","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Oil production is up, natural gas production is up, and, most importantly, we're also starting to build cars that are more efficient."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"24.14","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And that's creating jobs."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"24.15","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That means those cars can be exported, 'cause that's the demand around the world, and it also means that it'll save money in your pocketbook."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"24.16","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's the strategy you need, an all of the above strategy, and that's what we're going to do in the next four years."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"25.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But that's not what you've done in the last four years."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"25.2","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's the problem."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"25.3","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"In the last four years, you cut permits and licenses on federal land and federal waters in half."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"26.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Not true, Governor Romney."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"27.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So how much did you cut?"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"28.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Not true."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"29.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"How much did you cut them by, then?"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"30.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Governor, we have actually produced more oil."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"31.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"No, no."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"31.2","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"How much did you cut licenses and permits on federal land and federal waters?"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"32.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Governor Romney, here's what we did."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"32.2","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"There were a whole bunch of oil companies."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"33.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"No, no, I had a question and the question was how much did you cut them by?"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"34.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You want me to answer a question?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"35.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"How much did you cut them by?"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"36.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I'm happy to answer the question."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"37.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"All right."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"37.2","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And it is."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"38.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Here's what happened."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"38.2","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You had a whole bunch of oil companies who had leases on public lands that they weren't using."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"38.3","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So what we said was you can't just sit on this for ten, twenty, thirty years, decide when you want to drill, when you want to produce, when it's most profitable for you."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"38.4","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"These are public lands."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"38.5","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So if you want to drill on public lands, you use it or you lose it."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"39.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"OK,|"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"40.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And so what we did was take away those leases."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"40.2","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And we are now reletting them so that we can actually make a profit."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"41.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And production on private on government land."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"42.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Production is up."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"43.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"is down."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"44.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"No, it isn't."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"45.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Production on government land of oil is down fourteen percent."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"46.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Governor."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"47.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And production on gas."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"48.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It's just not true."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"49.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It's absolutely true."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"49.2","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Look, there's no question but the people recognize that we have not produced more on federal lands and in federal waters."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"49.3","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And coal, coal production is not up; coal jobs are not up."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"49.4","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I was just at a coal facility, where some one thousand two hundred people lost their jobs."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"49.5","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The right course for America is to have a true all of the above policy."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"49.6","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I don't think anyone really believes that you're a person who's going to be pushing for oil and gas and coal."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"49.7","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You'll get your chance in a moment."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"49.8","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I'm still speaking."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"50.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well|"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"51.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And the answer is I don't believe people think that's the case|"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"52.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"53.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That wasn't the question."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"54.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"OK."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"55.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That was a statement."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"55.2","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I don't think the American people believe that."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"55.3","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I will fight for oil, coal and natural gas."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"55.4","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And the proof, the proof of whether a strategy is working or not is what the price is that you're paying at the pump."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"55.5","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"If you're paying less than you paid a year or two ago, why, then, the strategy is working."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"55.6","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But you're paying more."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"55.7","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"When the president took office, the price of gasoline here in Nassau County was about dollar one."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"55.8","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"eighty six a gallon."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"55.9","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Now, it's dollar four."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"55.10","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"a gallon."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"55.11","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The price of electricity is up."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"55.12","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"If the president's energy policies are working, you're going to see the cost of energy come down."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"55.13","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I will fight to create more energy in this country, to get America energy secure."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"55.14","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And part of that is bringing in a pipeline of oil from Canada, taking advantage of the oil and coal we have here, drilling offshore in Alaska, drilling offshore in Virginia where the people want it."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"55.15","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Those things will get us the energy we need."}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"56.1","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Mister President, could you address, because we did finally get to gas prices here, could you address what the governor said, which is if your energy policy was working, the price of gasoline would not be dollar four a gallon here."}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"56.2","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Is that true?"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"57.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well, think about what the governor think about what the governor just said."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"57.2","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"He said when I took office, the price of gasoline was dollar one."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"57.3","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"eighty, dollar one."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"57.4","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"eighty six."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"57.5","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Why is that?"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"57.6","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Because the economy was on the verge of collapse, because we were about to go through the worst recession since the Great Depression, as a consequence of some of the same policies that Governor Romney's now promoting."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"57.7","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So, it's conceivable that Governor Romney could bring down gas prices because with his policies, we might be back in that same mess."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"57.8","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"What I want to do is to create an economy that is strong, and at the same time produce energy."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"57.9","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And with respect to this pipeline that Governor Romney keeps on talking about, we've we've built enough pipeline to wrap around the entire earth once."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"57.10","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So, I'm all for pipelines."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"57.11","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I'm all for oil production."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"57.12","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"What I'm not for is us ignoring the other half of the equation."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"57.13","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So, for example, on wind energy, when Governor Romney says these are imaginary jobs."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"57.14","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"When you've got thousands of people right now in Iowa, right now in Colorado, who are working, creating wind power with good paying manufacturing jobs, and the Republican senator in that in Iowa is all for it, providing tax breaks to help this work and Governor Romney says I'm opposed."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"57.15","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I'd get rid of it."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"57.16","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's not an energy strategy for the future."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"57.17","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And we need to win that future."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"57.18","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And I intend to win it as President of the United States."}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"58.1","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"I got to I got to move you on."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"59.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"He gets the first."}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"60.1","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"and the next question."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"61.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"He actually got|"}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"62.1","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"for you|"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"63.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"He actually got the first question."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"63.2","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So I get the last question last answer|"}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"64.1","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"in the follow up, it doesn't quite work like that."}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"64.2","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"But I'm going to give you a chance here."}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"64.3","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"I promise you, I'm going to."}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"64.4","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"And the next question is for you."}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"64.5","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"So if you want to, you know, continue on but I don't want to leave all|"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"65.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Candy, Candy|"}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"66.1","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"sitting here|"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"67.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Candy, I don't have a policy of stopping wind jobs in Iowa and that they're not phantom jobs."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"67.2","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They're real jobs."}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"68.1","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"OK."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"69.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I appreciate wind jobs in Iowa and across our country."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"69.2","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I appreciate the jobs in coal and oil and gas."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"69.3","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I'm going to make sure|"}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"70.1","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"OK."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"71.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"we're taking advantage of our energy resources."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"71.2","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We'll bring back manufacturing to America."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"71.3","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We're going to get through a very aggressive energy policy, thirty one/two million more jobs in this country."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"71.4","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It's critical to our future."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"72.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Candy, it's not going to|"}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"73.1","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"We're going to move you along|"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"74.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Used to being interrupted."}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"75.1","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"We're going to move you both along to taxes over here and all these folks that have been waiting."}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"75.2","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Governor, this question is for you."}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"75.3","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"It comes from Mary Follano Follano, sorry."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"76.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Hi, Mary."}
{"person":"QUESTION","tot":"77.1","time":"time 2","role":"other","dialogue":"Governor Romney, you have stated that if you're elected president, you would plan to reduce the tax rates for all the tax brackets and that you would work with the Congress to eliminate some deductions in order to make up for the loss in revenue."}

{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Thank you very much."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.2","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And let me tell you, you're absolutely right about part of that, which is I want to bring the rates down, I want to simplify the tax code, and I want to get middle income taxpayers to have lower taxes."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.3","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And the reason I want middle income taxpayers to have lower taxes is because middle income taxpayers have been buried over the past four years."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.4","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You've seen, as middle income people in this country, incomes go down dollar four thousand three hundred a family, even as gasoline prices have gone up dollar two thousand."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.5","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Health insurance premiums, up dollar two thousand five hundred."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.6","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Food prices up."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.7","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Utility prices up."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.8","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The middle income families in America have been crushed over the last four years."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.9","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So I want to get some relief to middle income families."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.10","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's part that's part one."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.11","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Now, how about deductions?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.12","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"'Cause I'm going to bring rates down across the board for everybody, but I'm going to limit deductions and exemptions and credits, particularly for people at the high end, because I am not going to have people at the high end pay less than they're paying now."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.13","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The top five percent of taxpayers will continue to pay sixty percent of the income tax the nation collects."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.14","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So that'll stay the same."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.15","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Middle income people are going to get a tax break."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.16","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And so, in terms of bringing down deductions, one way of doing that would be say everybody gets I'll pick a number dollar twenty five thousand of deductions and credits, and you can decide which ones to use."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.17","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Your home mortgage interest deduction, charity, child tax credit, and so forth, you can use those as part of filling that bucket, if you will, of deductions."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.18","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But your rate comes down and the burden also comes down on you for one more reason, and that is every middle income taxpayer no longer will pay any tax on interest, dividends or capital gains."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.19","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"No tax on your savings."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.20","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That makes life a lot easier."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.21","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"If you're getting interest from a bank, if you're getting a statement from a mutual fund or any other kind of investment you have, you don't have to worry about filing taxes on that, because there'll be no taxes for anybody making dollar two hundred thousand."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.22","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"per year and less, on your interest, dividends and capital gains."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.23","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Why am I lowering taxes on the middle class?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.24","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Because under the last four years, they've been buried."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.25","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And I want to help people in the middle class."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.26","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And I will not I will not under any circumstances, reduce the share that's being paid by the highest income taxpayers."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.27","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And I will not, under any circumstances increase taxes on the middle class."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.28","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The president's spending, the president's borrowing will cost this nation to have to raise taxes on the American people."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.29","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Not just at the high end."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.30","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"A recent study has shown the people in the middle class will see dollar four thousand."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.31","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"per year in higher taxes as a result of the spending and borrowing of this administration."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.32","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I will not let that happen."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.33","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I want to get us on track to a balanced budget, and I'm going to reduce the tax burden on middle income families."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.34","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And what's that going to do?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.35","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It's going to help those families, and it's going to create incentives to start growing jobs again in this country."}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"81.1","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Thanks, Governor."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"82.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"My philosophy on taxes has been simple."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"82.2","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And that is, I want to give middle class families and folks who are striving to get into the middle class some relief."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"82.3","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Because they have been hit hard over the last decade."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"82.4","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Over the last fifteen, over the last twenty years."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"82.5","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So four years ago I stood on a stage just like this one."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"82.6","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Actually it was a town hall, and I said I would cut taxes for middle class families, and that's what I've done, by dollar three thousand six hundred|"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"82.7","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I said I would cut taxes for small businesses, who are the drivers and engines of growth."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"82.8","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And we've cut them eighteen times."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"82.9","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And I want to continue those tax cuts for middle class families, and for small business."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"82.10","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But what I've also said is, if we're serious about reducing the deficit, if this is genuinely a moral obligation to the next generation, then in addition to some tough spending cuts, we've also got to make sure that the wealthy do a little bit more."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"82.11","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So what I've said is, your first dollar two hundred fifty thousand."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"82.12","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"worth of income, no change."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"82.13","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And that means ninety eight percent of American families, ninety seven percent of small businesses, they will not see a tax increase."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"82.14","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I'm ready to sign that bill right now."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"82.15","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The only reason it's not happening is because Governor Romney's allies in Congress have held the ninety eight percent hostage because they want tax breaks for the top two percent."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"82.16","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But what I've also says is for above dollar two hundred fifty thousand, we can go back to the tax rates we had when Bill Clinton was president."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"82.17","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We created twenty three million new jobs."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"82.18","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's part of what took us from deficits to surplus."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"82.19","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It will be good for our economy and it will be good for job creation."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"82.20","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Now, Governor Romney has a different philosophy."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"82.21","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"He was on sixty Minutes just two weeks ago and he was asked: Is it fair for somebody like you, making dollar twenty million a year, to pay a lower tax rate than a nurse or a bus driver, somebody making dollar fifty thousand year?"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"82.22","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And he said, Yes, I think that's fair."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"82.23","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Not only that, he said, I think that's what grows the economy."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"82.24","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well, I fundamentally disagree with that."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"82.25","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I think what grows the economy is when you get that tax credit that we put in place for your kids going to college."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"82.26","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I think that grows the economy."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"82.27","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I think what grows the economy is when we make sure small businesses are getting a tax credit for hiring veterans who fought for our country."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"82.28","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That grows our economy."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"82.29","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So we just have a different theory."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"82.30","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And when Governor Romney stands here, after a year of campaigning, when during a Republican primary he stood on stage and said I'm going to give tax cuts he didn't say tax rate cuts, he said tax cuts to everybody, including the top one percent, you should believe him because that's been his history."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"82.31","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And that's exactly the kind of top down economics that is not going to work if we want a strong middle class and an economy that's striving for everybody."}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"83.1","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Governor Romney, I'm sure you've got a reply there."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"84.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You're absolutely right."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"84.2","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You heard what I said about my tax plan."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"84.3","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The top five percent will continue to pay sixty percent, as they do today."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"84.4","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I'm not looking to cut taxes for wealthy people."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"84.5","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I am looking to cut taxes for middle income people."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"84.6","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And why do I want to bring rates down, and at the same time lower exemptions and deductions, particularly for people at the high end?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"84.7","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Because if you bring rates down, it makes it easier for small business to keep more of their capital and hire people."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"84.8","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And for me, this is about jobs."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"84.9","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I want to get America's economy going again."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"84.10","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Fifty four percent of America's workers work in businesses that are taxed as individuals."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"84.11","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So when you bring those rates down, those small businesses are able to keep more money and hire more people."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"84.12","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"For me, I look at what's happened in the last four years and say this has been a disappointment."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"84.13","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We can do better than this."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"84.14","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We don't have to settle for, how many months, forty three months with unemployment above eight percent, twenty three million Americans struggling to find a good job right now."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"84.15","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"There are three."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"84.16","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"five million more women living in poverty today than when the president took office."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"84.17","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We don't have to live like this."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"84.18","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We can get this economy going again."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"84.19","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"My five point plan does it."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"84.20","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Energy independence for North America in five years."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"84.21","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Opening up more trade, particularly in Latin America."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"84.22","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Cracking down on China when they cheat."}

{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"84.25","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And finally, championing small business."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"84.26","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I want to make small businesses grow and thrive."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"84.27","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I know how to make that happen."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"84.28","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I spent my life in the private sector."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"84.29","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I know why jobs come and why they go."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"84.30","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And they're going now because of the policies of this administration."}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"85.1","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Governor, let me ask the president something about what you just said."}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"85.2","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"The governor says that he is not going to allow the top five percent, believe is what he said, to have a tax cut, that it will all even out, that what he wants to do is give that tax cut to the middle class."}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"85.3","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Settled?"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"86.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"No, it's not settled."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"86.2","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Look, the cost of lowering rates for everybody across the board, twenty percent."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"86.3","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Along with what he also wants to do in terms of eliminating the estate tax, along what he wants to do in terms of corporates, changes in the tax code, it costs about dollar five trillion."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"86.4","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Governor Romney then also wants to spend dollar two trillion on additional military programs even though the military's not asking for them."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"86.5","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's dollar seven trillion."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"86.6","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"He also wants to continue the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"86.7","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's another trillion dollars that's dollar eight trillion."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"86.8","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Now, what he says is he's going to make sure that this doesn't add to the deficit and he's going to cut middleclass taxes."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"86.9","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But when he's asked, how are you going to do it, which deductions, which loopholes are you going to close?"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"86.10","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"He can't tell you."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"86.11","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The the fact that he only has to pay fourteen percent on his taxes when a lot of you are paying much higher."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"86.12","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"He's already taken that off the board, capital gains are going to continue to be at a low rate so we we're not going to get money that way."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"86.13","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We haven't heard from the governor any specifics beyond Big Bird and eliminating funding for Planned Parenthood in terms of how he pays for that."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"86.14","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Now, Governor Romney was a very successful investor."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"86.15","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"If somebody came to you, Governor, with a plan that said, here, I want to spend dollar seven or dollar eight trillion, and then we're going to pay for it, but we can't tell you until maybe after the election how we're going to do it, you wouldn't take such a sketchy deal and neither should you, the American people, because the math doesn't add up."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"86.16","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And and what's at stake here is one of two things, either Candy this blows up the deficit because keep in mind, this is just to pay for the additional spending that he's talking about, dollar seven trillion dollar eight trillion before we even get to the deficit we already have."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"86.17","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Or, alternatively, it's got to be paid for, not only by closing deductions for wealthy individuals, that that will pay for about four percent reduction in tax rates."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"86.18","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You're going to be paying for it."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"86.19","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You're going to lose some deductions, and you can't buy the sales pitch."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"86.20","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Nobody who's looked at it that's serious, actually believes it adds up."}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"87.1","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Mister President, let me get let me get the governor in on this."}

{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"90.3","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I ran the Olympics and balanced the budget."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"90.4","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I ran the the state of Massachusetts as a governor, to the extent any governor does, and balanced the budget all four years."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"90.5","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"When we're talking about math that doesn't add up, how about dollar four trillion of deficits over the last four years, dollar five trillion?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"90.6","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's math that doesn't add up."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"90.7","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We have we have a president talking about someone's plan in a way that's completely foreign to what my real plan is."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"90.8","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And then we have his own record, which is we have four consecutive years where he said when he was running for office, he would cut the deficit in half."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"90.9","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Instead he's doubled it."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"90.10","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We've gone from dollar ten trillion of national debt, to dollar sixteen trillion of national debt."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"90.11","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"If the president were reelected, we'd go to almost dollar twenty trillion of national debt."}

{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"90.13","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I know what it takes to balance budgets."}

{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"96.14","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"This is not just a women's issue, this is a family issue, this is a middle class issue, and that's why we've got to fight for it."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"96.15","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It also means that we've got to make sure that young people like yourself are able to afford a college education."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"96.16","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Earlier, Governor Romney talked about he wants to make Pell Grants and other education accessible for young people."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"96.17","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well, the truth of the matter is, is that that's exactly what we've done."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"96.18","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We've expanded Pell Grants for millions of people, including millions of young women, all across the country."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"96.19","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We did it by taking dollar sixty billion that was going to banks and lenders as middlemen for the student loan program, and we said, let's just cut out the middleman."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"96.20","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Let's give the money directly to students."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"96.21","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And as a consequence, we've seen millions of young people be able to afford college, and that's going to make sure that young women are going to be able to compete in that marketplace."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"96.22","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But we've got to enforce the laws, which is what we are doing, and we've also got to make sure that in every walk of life we do not tolerate discrimination."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"96.23","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's been one of the hallmarks of my administration."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"96.24","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I'm going to continue to push on this issue for the next four years."}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"97.1","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Governor Romney, pay equity for women?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"98.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Thank you."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"98.2","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And important topic, and one which I learned a great deal about, particularly as I was serving as governor of my state, because I had the chance to pull together a cabinet and all the applicants seemed to be men."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"98.3","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And I and I went to my staff, and I said, How come all the people for these jobs are are all men."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"98.4","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They said, Well, these are the people that have the qualifications."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"98.5","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And I said, Well, gosh, can't we can't we find some some women that are also qualified?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"98.6","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And and so we we took a concerted effort to go out and find women who had backgrounds that could be qualified to become members of our cabinet."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"98.7","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I went to a number of women's groups and said, Can you help us find folks, and they brought us whole binders full of women."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"98.8","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I was proud of the fact that after I staffed my Cabinet and my senior staff, that the University of New York in Albany did a survey of all fifty states, and concluded that mine had more women in senior leadership positions than any other state in America."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"98.9","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Now one of the reasons I was able to get so many good women to be part of that team was because of our recruiting effort."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"98.10","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But number two, because I recognized that if you're going to have women in the workforce that sometimes you need to be more flexible."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"98.11","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"My chief of staff, for instance, had two kids that were still in school."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"98.12","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"She said, I can't be here until seven or eight o'clock at night."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"98.13","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I need to be able to get home at five o'clock so I can be there for making dinner for my kids and being with them when they get home from school."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"98.14","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So we said fine."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"98.15","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Let's have a flexible schedule so you can have hours that work for you."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"98.16","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We're going to have to have employers in the new economy, in the economy I'm going to bring to play, that are going to be so anxious to get good workers they're going to be anxious to hire women."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"98.17","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"In the in the last women have lost five hundred eighty thousand jobs."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"98.18","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's the net of what's happened in the last four years."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"98.19","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We're still down five hundred eighty thousand jobs."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"98.20","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I mentioned thirty one/two million women, more now in poverty than four years ago."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"98.21","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"What we can do to help young women and women of all ages is to have a strong economy, so strong that employers that are looking to find good employees and bringing them into their workforce and adapting to a flexible work schedule that gives women opportunities that they would otherwise not be able to afford."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"98.22","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"This is what I have done."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"98.23","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It's what I look forward to doing and I know what it takes to make an economy work, and I know what a working economy looks like."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"98.24","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And an economy with seven."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"98.25","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"eight percent unemployment is not a real strong economy."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"98.26","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"An economy that has twenty three million people looking for work is not a strong economy."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"98.27","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"An economy with fifty percent of kids graduating from college that can't finds a job, or a college level job, that's not what we have to have."}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"99.1","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Governor?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"100.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I'm going to help women in America get good work by getting a stronger economy and by supporting women in the workforce."}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"101.1","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Mister President why don't you get in on this quickly, please?"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"102.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Katherine, I just want to point out that when Governor Romney's campaign was asked about the Lilly Ledbetter bill, whether he supported it?"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"102.2","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"He said, I'll get back to you."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"102.3","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And that's not the kind of advocacy that women need in any economy."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"102.4","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Now, there are some other issues that have a bearing on how women succeed in the workplace."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"102.5","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"For example, their healthcare."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"102.6","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You know a major difference in this campaign is that Governor Romney feels comfortable having politicians in Washington decide the health care choices that women are making."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"102.7","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I think that's a mistake."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"102.8","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"In my health care bill, I said insurance companies need to provide contraceptive coverage to everybody who is insured."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"102.9","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Because this is not just a a health issue, it's an economic issue for women."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"102.10","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It makes a difference."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"102.11","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"This is money out of that family's pocket."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"102.12","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Governor Romney not only opposed it, he suggested that in fact employers should be able to make the decision as to whether or not a woman gets contraception through her insurance coverage."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"102.13","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's not the kind of advocacy that women need."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"102.14","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"When Governor Romney says that we should eliminate funding for Planned Parenthood, there are millions of women all across the country, who rely on Planned Parenthood for, not just contraceptive care, they rely on it for mammograms, for cervical cancer screenings."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"102.15","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's a pocketbook issue for women and families all across the country."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"102.16","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And it makes a difference in terms of how well and effectively women are able to work."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"102.17","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"When we talk about child care, and the credits that we're providing."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"102.18","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That makes a difference in whether they can go out there and and earn a living for their family."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"102.19","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"These are not just women's issues."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"102.20","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"These are family issues."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"102.21","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"These are economic issues."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"102.22","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And one of the things that makes us grow as an economy is when everybody participates and women are getting the same fair deal as men are."}

{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Let me come back and and answer your question."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.2","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"President Bush and I are are different people and these are different times and that's why my five point plan is so different than what he would have done."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.3","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I mean for instance, we can now, by virtue of new technology actually get all the energy we need in North America without having to go to the the Arabs or the Venezuelans or anyone else."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.4","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That wasn't true in his time, that's why my policy starts with a very robust policy to get all that energy in North America become energy secure."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.5","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Number two, trade I'll crack down on China, President Bush didn't."}

{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.7","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It's been growing about twelve percent per year over a long period of time."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.8","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I want to add more free trade agreements so we'll have more trade."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.9","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Number three, I'm going to get us to a balanced budget."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.10","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"President Bush didn't."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.11","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"President Obama was right, he said that that was outrageous to have deficits as high as half a trillion dollars under the Bush years."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.12","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"He was right, but then he put in place deficits twice that size for every one of his four years."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.13","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And his forecast for the next four years is more deficits, almost that large."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.14","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So that's the next area I'm different than President Bush."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.15","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And then let's take the last one, championing small business."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.16","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Our party has been focused too long."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.17","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I came through small business."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.18","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I understand how hard it is to start a small business."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.19","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's why everything I'll do is designed to help small businesses grow and add jobs."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.20","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I want to keep their taxes down on small business."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.21","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I want regulators to see their job as encouraging small enterprise, not crushing it."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.22","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And the thing I find the most troubling about Obama Care, well it's a long list, but one of the things I find most troubling is that when you go out and talk to small businesses and ask them what they think about it, they tell you it keeps them from hiring more people."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.23","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"My priority is jobs."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.24","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I know how to make that happen."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.25","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And President Bush has a very different path for a very different time."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.26","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"My path is designed in getting small businesses to grow and hire people."}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"116.1","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Thanks, Governor."}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"116.2","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Mister President?"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"117.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well, first of all, I think it's important to tell you that we did come in during some tough times."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"117.2","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We were losing eight hundred thousand jobs a month when I started."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"117.3","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But we had been digging our way out of policies that were misplaced and focused on the top doing very well and middle class folks not doing well."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"117.4","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Now, we've seen thirty consecutive thirty one consecutive months of job growth; five."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"117.5","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"two million new jobs created."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"117.6","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And the plans that I talked about will create even more."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"117.7","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But when Governor Romney says that he has a very different economic plan, the centerpiece of his economic plan are tax cuts."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"117.8","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's what took us from surplus to deficit."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"117.9","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"When he talks about getting tough on China, keep in mind that Governor Romney invested in companies that were pioneers of outsourcing to China, and is currently investing in countries in companies that are building surveillance equipment for China to spy on its own folks."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"117.10","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's Governor, you're the last person who's going to get tough on China."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"117.11","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And what we've done when it comes to trade is not only sign three trade deals to open up new markets, but we've also set up a task force for trade that goes after anybody who is taking advantage of American workers or businesses and not creating a level playing field."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"117.12","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We've brought twice as many cases against unfair trading practices than the previous administration and we've won every single one that's been decided."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"117.13","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"When I said that we had to make sure that China was not flooding our domestic market with cheap tires, Governor Romney said I was being protectionist; that it wouldn't be helpful to American workers."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"117.14","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well, in fact we saved one thousand jobs."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"117.15","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And that's the kind of tough trade actions that are required."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"117.16","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But the last point I want to make is this."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"117.17","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You know, there are some things where Governor Romney is different from George Bush."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"117.18","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"George Bush didn't propose turning Medicare into a voucher."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"117.19","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"George Bush embraced comprehensive immigration reform."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"117.20","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"He didn't call for self deportation."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"117.21","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"George Bush never suggested that we eliminate funding for Planned Parenthood, so there are differences between Governor Romney and George Bush, but they're not on economic policy."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"117.22","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"In some ways, he's gone to a more extreme place when it comes to social policy."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"117.23","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And I think that's a mistake."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"117.24","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's not how we're going to move our economy forward."}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"118.1","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"I want to move you both along to the next question, because it's in the same wheelhouse, so you will be able to respond."}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"118.2","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"But the president does get this question."}

{"person":"QUESTION","tot":"119.4","time":"time 2","role":"other","dialogue":"Most things I need for everyday living are very expensive."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"120.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well, we've gone through a tough four years."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"120.2","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"There's no doubt about it."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"120.3","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But four years ago, I told the American people and I told you I would cut taxes for middle class families."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"120.4","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And I did."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"120.5","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I told you I'd cut taxes for small businesses, and I have."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"120.6","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I said that I'd end the war in Iraq, and I did."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"120.7","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I said we'd refocus attention on those who actually attacked us on nine/eleven, and we have gone after Al Qaeda's leadership like never before and Osama bin Laden is dead."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"120.8","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I said that we would put in place health care reform to make sure that insurance companies can't jerk you around and if you don't have health insurance, that you'd have a chance to get affordable insurance, and I have."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"120.9","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I committed that I would rein in the excesses of Wall Street, and we passed the toughest Wall Street reforms since the one thousand nine hundred thirtys."}

{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"120.13","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Absolutely not."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"120.14","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"A lot of us are."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"120.15","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And that's why the plan that I've put forward for manufacturing and education, and reducing our deficit in a sensible way, using the savings from ending wars, to rebuild America and putting people back to work."}

{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"173.10","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Whether there was some misleading, or instead whether we just didn't know what happened, you have to ask yourself why didn't we know five days later when the ambassador to the United Nations went on TV to say that this was a demonstration."}

{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"173.12","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But I find more troubling than this, that on on the day following the assassination of the United States ambassador, the first time that's happened since one thousand nine hundred seventy nine, when when we have four Americans killed there, when apparently we didn't know what happened, that the president, the day after that happened, flies to Las Vegas for a political fund raiser, then the next day to Colorado for another event, other political event."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"173.13","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I think these these actions taken by a president and a leader have symbolic significance and perhaps even material significance in that you'd hope that during that time we could call in the people who were actually eyewitnesses."}

{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"207.11","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But I also share your belief that weapons that were designed for soldiers in war theaters don't belong on our streets."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"207.12","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And so what I'm trying to do is to get a broader conversation about how do we reduce the violence generally."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"207.13","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Part of it is seeing if we can get an assault weapons ban reintroduced."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"207.14","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But part of it is also looking at other sources of the violence."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"207.15","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Because frankly, in my home town of Chicago, there's an awful lot of violence and they're not using AK forty sevens."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"207.16","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They're using cheap hand guns."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"207.17","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And so what can we do to intervene, to make sure that young people have opportunity; that our schools are working; that if there's violence on the streets, that working with faith groups and law enforcement, we can catch it before it gets out of control."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"207.18","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And so what I want is a is a comprehensive strategy."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"207.19","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Part of it is seeing if we can get automatic weapons that kill folks in amazing numbers out of the hands of criminals and the mentally ill."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"207.20","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But part of it is also going deeper and seeing if we can get into these communities and making sure we catch violent impulses before they occur."}

{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"209.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Yeah, I'm not in favor of new pieces of legislation on on guns and taking guns away or making certain guns illegal."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"210.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"because I do believe that if our young people have opportunity, then they're less likely to engage in these kind of violent acts."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"210.2","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We're not going to eliminate everybody who is mentally disturbed, and we've got to make sure they don't get weapons."}

{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"223.8","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"One of the reasons for that is that people think it's more attractive in some cases to go offshore than to stay here."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"223.9","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We have made it less attractive for enterprises to stay here than to go offshore from time to time."}

{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"223.11","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"This is the way we're going to create jobs in this country."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"223.12","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It's not by trickle down government, saying we're going to take more money from people and hire more government workers, raise more taxes, put in place more regulations."}

{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"223.16","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And China hasn't."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"223.17","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"One of the reasons or one of the ways they don't play by the rules is artificially holding down the value of their currency."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"223.18","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Because if they put their currency down low, that means their prices on their goods are low."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"223.19","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And that makes them advantageous in the marketplace."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"223.20","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We lose sales."}

{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"223.26","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"On day one, I will label China a currency manipulator, which will allow me as president to be able to put in place, if necessary, tariffs where I believe that they are taking unfair advantage of our manufacturers."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"223.27","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So we're going to make sure that people we trade with around the world play by the rules."}

{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"223.29","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Don't forget, what's key to bringing back jobs here is not just finding someone else to punish, and I'm going to be strict with people who we trade with to make sure they they follow the law and play by the rules, but it's also to make America the most attractive place in the world for businesses of all kinds."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"223.30","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's why I want to down the tax rates on small employers, big employers, so they want to be here."}

{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"223.38","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They say, We feel like we're under attack from our own government."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"223.39","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I want to make sure that regulators see their job as encouraging small business, not crushing it."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"223.40","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And there's no question but that Obamacare has been an extraordinary deterrent to enterprises of all kinds hiring people."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"223.41","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"My priority is making sure that we get more people hired."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"223.42","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"If we have more people hired, if we get back manufacturing jobs, if we get back all kinds of jobs into this country, then you're going to see rising incomes again."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"223.43","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The reason incomes are down is because unemployment is so high."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"223.44","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I know what it takes to get this to happen, and my plan will do that, and one part of it is to make sure that we keep China playing by the rules."}

{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"225.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"OK."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"225.2","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We need to create jobs here."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"225.3","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And both Governor Romney and I agree actually that we should lower our corporate tax rate."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"225.4","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It's too high."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"225.5","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But there's a difference in terms of how we would do it."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"225.6","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I want to close loopholes that allow companies to deduct expenses when they move to China; that allow them to profit offshore and not have to get taxed, so they have tax advantages offshore."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"225.7","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"All those changes in our tax code would make a difference."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"225.8","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Now, Governor Romney actually wants to expand those tax breaks."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"225.9","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"One of his big ideas when it comes to corporate tax reform would be to say, if you invest overseas, you make profits overseas, you don't have to pay U."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"225.10","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"S."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"225.11","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"taxes."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"225.12","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But, of course, if you're a small business or a mom and pop business or a big business starting up here, you've got to pay even the reduced rate that Governor Romney's talking about."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"225.13","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And it's estimated that that will create eight hundred thousand new jobs."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"225.14","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The problem is they'll be in china."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"225.15","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Or India."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"225.16","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Or Germany."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"225.17","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's not the way we're going to create jobs here."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"225.18","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The way we're going to create jobs here is not just to change our tax code, but also to double our exports."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"225.19","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And we are on pace to double our exports, one of the commitments I made when I was president."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"225.20","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's creating tens of thousands of jobs all across the country."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"225.21","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's why we've kept on pushing trade deals, but trade deals that make sure that American workers and American businesses are getting a good deal."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"225.22","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Now, Governor Romney talked about China, as I already indicated."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"225.23","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"In the private sector, Governor Romney's company invested in what were called pioneers of outsourcing."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"225.24","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's not my phrase."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"225.25","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's what reporters called it."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"225.26","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And as far as currency manipulation, the currency has actually gone up eleven percent since I've been president because we have pushed them hard."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"225.27","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And we've put unprecedented trade pressure on China."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"225.28","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's why exports have significantly increased under my presidency."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"225.29","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's going to help to create jobs here."}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"226.1","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Mister President, we have a really short time for a quick discussion here."}

{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"226.3","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"One of the major reasons is labor is so much cheaper here."}
{"person":"CROWLEY","tot":"226.4","time":"time 2","role":"moderator","dialogue":"How do you convince a great American company to bring that manufacturing back here?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"227.1","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The answer is very straightforward."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"227.2","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We can compete with anyone in the world as long as the playing field is level."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"227.3","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"China's been cheating over the years."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"227.4","time":"time 2","role":"candidate","dialogue":"One by holding down the value of their currency."}

{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"1.13","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"So let's begin."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"1.14","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"The first segment is the challenge of a changing Middle East and the new face of terrorism."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"1.15","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"I'm going to put this into two segments so you'll have two topic questions within this one segment on the subject."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"1.16","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"The first question, and it concerns Libya."}

{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"1.18","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Four Americans are dead, including an American ambassador."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"1.19","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Questions remain."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"1.20","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"What happened?"}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"1.21","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"What caused it?"}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"1.22","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Was it spontaneous?"}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"1.23","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Was it an intelligence failure?"}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"1.24","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Was it a policy failure?"}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"1.25","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Was there an attempt to mislead people about what really happened?"}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"1.26","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Governor Romney, you said this was an example of an American policy in the Middle East that is unraveling before our very eyes."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"1.27","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"I'd like to hear each of you give your thoughts on that."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"1.28","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Governor Romney, you won the toss."}

{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"2.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Thank you, Bob."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"2.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And thank you for agreeing to moderate this debate this evening."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"2.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Thank you to Lynn University for welcoming us here."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"2.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And Mister President, it's good to be with you again."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"2.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We were together at a humorous event a little earlier, and it's nice to maybe funny this time, not on purpose."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"2.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We'll see what happens."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"2.7","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"This is obviously an area of great concern to the entire world, and to America in particular, which is to see a a complete change in the the structure and the the environment in the Middle East."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"2.8","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"With the Arab Spring, came a great deal of hope that there would be a change towards more moderation, and opportunity for greater participation on the part of women in public life, and in economic life in the Middle East."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"2.9","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But instead, we've seen in nation after nation, a number of disturbing events."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"2.10","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Of course we see in Syria, thirty thousand civilians having been killed by the military there."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"2.11","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We see in in Libya, an attack apparently by, I think we know now, by terrorists of some kind against against our people there, four people dead."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"2.12","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Our hearts and and minds go out to them."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"2.13","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Mali has been taken over, the northern part of Mali by al Qaeda type individuals."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"2.14","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We have in in Egypt, a Muslim Brotherhood president."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"2.15","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And so what we're seeing is a pretty dramatic reversal in the kind of hopes we had for that region."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"2.16","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Of course the greatest threat of all is Iran, four years closer to a nuclear weapon."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"2.17","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And and we're going to have to recognize that we have to do as the president has done."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"2.18","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I congratulate him on on taking out Osama bin Laden and going after the leadership in al Qaeda."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"2.19","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But we can't kill our way out of this mess."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"2.20","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We're going to have to put in place a very comprehensive and robust strategy to help the the world of Islam and other parts of the world, reject this radical violent extremism, which is it's certainly not on the run."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"2.21","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It's certainly not hiding."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"2.22","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"This is a group that is now involved in ten or twelve countries, and it presents an enormous threat to our friends, to the world, to America, long term, and we must have a comprehensive strategy to help reject this kind of extremism."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"3.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Mister President?"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"4.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well, my first job as commander in chief, Bob, is to keep the American people safe."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"4.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And that's what we've done over the last four years."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"4.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We ended the war in Iraq, refocused our attention on those who actually killed us on nine/eleven."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"4.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And as a consequence, Al Qaeda's core leadership has been decimated."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"4.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"In addition, we're now able to transition out of Afghanistan in a responsible way, making sure that Afghans take responsibility for their own security."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"4.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And that allows us also to rebuild alliances and make friends around the world to combat future threats."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"4.7","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Now with respect to Libya, as I indicated in the last debate, when we received that phone call, I immediately made sure that, number one, that we did everything we could to secure those Americans who were still in harm's way; number two, that we would investigate exactly what happened, and number three, most importantly, that we would go after those who killed Americans and we would bring them to justice."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"4.8","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And that's exactly what we're going to do."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"4.9","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But I think it's important to step back and think about what happened in Libya."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"4.10","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Keep in mind that I and Americans took leadership in organizing an international coalition that made sure that we were able to, without putting troops on the ground at the cost of less than what we spent in two weeks in Iraq, liberate a country that had been under the yoke of dictatorship for forty years."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"4.11","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Got rid of a despot who had killed Americans and as a consequence, despite this tragedy, you had tens of thousands of Libyans after the events in Benghazi marching and saying America is our friend."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"4.12","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We stand with them."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"4.13","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Now that represents the opportunity we have to take advantage of."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"4.14","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And, you know, Governor Romney, I'm glad that you agree that we have been successful in going after Al Qaida, but I have to tell you that, you know, your strategy previously has been one that has been all over the map and is not designed to keep Americans safe or to build on the opportunities that exist in the Middle East."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"5.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well, my strategy is pretty straightforward, which is to go after the bad guys, to make sure we do our very best to interrupt them, to to kill them, to take them out of the picture."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"5.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But my strategy is broader than that."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"5.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's that's important, of course."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"5.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But the key that we're going to have to pursue is a is a pathway to get the Muslim world to be able to reject extremism on its own."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"5.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We don't want another Iraq, we don't want another Afghanistan."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"5.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's not the right course for us."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"5.7","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The right course for us is to make sure that we go after the the people who are leaders of these various anti American groups and these these jihadists, but also help the Muslim world."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"5.8","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And how do we do that?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"5.9","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"A group of Arab scholars came together, organized by the U."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"5.10","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"N."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"5.11","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":", to look at how we can help the the world reject these these terrorists."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"5.12","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And the answer they came up with was this: One, more economic development."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"5.13","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We should key our foreign aid, our direct foreign investment, and that of our friends, we should coordinate it to make sure that we we push back and give them more economic development."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"5.14","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Number two, better education."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"5.15","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Number three, gender equality."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"5.16","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Number four, the rule of law."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"5.17","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We have to help these nations create civil societies."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"5.18","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But what's been happening over the last couple of years is, as we've watched this tumult in the Middle East, this rising tide of chaos occur, you see Al Qaida rushing in, you see other jihadist groups rushing in."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"5.19","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And and they're throughout many nations in the Middle East."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"5.20","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It's wonderful that Libya seems to be making some progress, despite this terrible tragedy."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"5.21","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But next door, of course, we have Egypt."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"5.22","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Libya's six million population; Egypt, eighty million population."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"5.23","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We want we want to make sure that we're seeing progress throughout the Middle East."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"5.24","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"With Mali now having North Mali taken over by Al Qaida; with Syria having Assad continuing to to kill, to murder his own people, this is a region in tumult."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"5.25","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And, of course, Iran on the path to a nuclear weapon, we've got real."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"6.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"We'll get to that, but let's give the president a chance."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"7.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Governor Romney, I'm glad that you recognize that Al Qaida is a threat, because a few months ago when you were asked what's the biggest geopolitical threat facing America, you said Russia, not Al Qaida; you said Russia, in the one thousand nine hundred eightys, they're now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because, you know, the Cold War's been over for twenty years."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"7.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But Governor, when it comes to our foreign policy, you seem to want to import the foreign policies of the one thousand nine hundred eightys, just like the social policies of the one thousand nine hundred fiftys and the economic policies of the one thousand nine hundred twentys."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"7.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You say that you're not interested in duplicating what happened in Iraq."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"7.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But just a few weeks ago, you said you think we should have more troops in Iraq right now."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"7.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And the the challenge we have I know you haven't been in a position to actually execute foreign policy but every time you've offered an opinion, you've been wrong."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"7.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You said we should have gone into Iraq, despite that fact that there were no weapons of mass destruction."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"7.7","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You said that we should still have troops in Iraq to this day."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"7.8","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You indicated that we shouldn't be passing nuclear treaties with Russia despite the fact that seventy one senators, Democrats and Republicans, voted for it."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"7.9","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You said that, first, we should not have a timeline in Afghanistan."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"7.10","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Then you said we should."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"7.11","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Now you say maybe or it depends, which means not only were you wrong, but you were also confusing in sending mixed messages both to our troops and our allies."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"7.12","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So, what what we need to do with respect to the Middle East is strong, steady leadership, not wrong and reckless leadership that is all over the map."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"7.13","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And unfortunately, that's the kind of opinions that you've offered throughout this campaign, and it is not a recipe for American strength, or keeping America safe over the long haul."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"8.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"I'm going to add a couple of minutes here to give you a chance to respond."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"9.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well, of course I don't concur with what the president said about my own record and the things that I've said."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"9.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They don't happen to be accurate."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"9.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But but I can say this, that we're talking about the Middle East and how to help the Middle East reject the kind of terrorism we're seeing, and the rising tide of tumult and and confusion."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"9.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And and attacking me is not an agenda."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"9.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Attacking me is not talking about how we're going to deal with the challenges that exist in the Middle East, and take advantage of the opportunity there, and stem the tide of this violence."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"9.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But I'll respond to a couple of things that you mentioned."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"9.7","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"First of all, Russia I indicated is a geopolitical foe."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"9.8","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Not|"}

{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"25.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Let him answer|"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"26.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You've got to be clear, both to our allies and our enemies, about where you stand and what you mean."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"26.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You just gave a speech a few weeks ago in which you said we should still have troops in Iraq."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"26.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That is not a recipe for making sure that we are taking advantage of the opportunities and meeting the challenges of the Middle East."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"26.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Now, it is absolutely true that we cannot just meet these challenges militarily."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"26.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And so what I've done throughout my presidency and will continue to do is, number one, make sure that these countries are supporting our counterterrorism efforts."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"26.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Number two, make sure that they are standing by our interests in Israel's security, because it is a true friend and our greatest ally in the region."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"26.7","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Number three, we do have to make sure that we're protecting religious minorities and women because these countries can't develop unless all the population, not just half of it, is developing."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"26.8","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Number four, we do have to develop their economic their economic capabilities."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"26.9","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But number five, the other thing that we have to do is recognize that we can't continue to do nation building in these regions."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"26.10","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Part of American leadership is making sure that we're doing nation building here at home."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"26.11","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That will help us maintain the kind of American leadership that we need."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"27.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Let me interject the second topic question in this segment about the Middle East and so on, and that is, you both mentioned alluded to this, and that is Syria."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"27.2","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"The war in Syria has now spilled over into Lebanon."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"27.3","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"We have, what, more than one hundred people that were killed there in a bomb."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"27.4","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"There were demonstrations there, eight people dead."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"27.5","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Mister President, it's been more than a year since you saw you told Assad he had to go."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"27.6","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Since then, thirty thousand Syrians have died."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"27.7","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"We've had three hundred thousand refugees."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"27.8","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"The war goes on."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"27.9","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"He's still there."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"27.10","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Should we reassess our policy and see if we can find a better way to influence events there?"}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"27.11","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Or is that even possible?"}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"27.12","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"And you go first, sir."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"28.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"What we've done is organize the international community, saying Assad has to go."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"28.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We've mobilized sanctions against that government."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"28.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We have made sure that they are isolated."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"28.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We have provided humanitarian assistance and we are helping the opposition organize, and we're particularly interested in making sure that we're mobilizing the moderate forces inside of Syria."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"28.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But ultimately, Syrians are going to have to determine their own future."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"28.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And so everything we're doing, we're doing in consultation with our partners in the region, including Israel which obviously has a huge interest in seeing what happens in Syria; coordinating with Turkey and other countries in the region that have a great interest in this."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"28.7","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"This what we're seeing taking place in Syria is heartbreaking, and that's why we are going to do everything we can to make sure that we are helping the opposition."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"28.8","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But we also have to recognize that, you know, for us to get more entangled militarily in Syria is a serious step, and we have to do so making absolutely certain that we know who we are helping; that we're not putting arms in the hands of folks who eventually could turn them against us or allies in the region."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"28.9","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And I am confident that Assad's days are numbered."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"28.10","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But what we can't do is to simply suggest that, as Governor Romney at times has suggested, that giving heavy weapons, for example, to the Syrian opposition is a simple proposition that would lead us to be safer over the long term."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"29.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Governor?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"30.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well, let's step back and talk about what's happening in Syria and how important it is."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"30.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"First of all, thirty thousand people being killed by their government is a humanitarian disaster."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"30.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Secondly, Syria is an opportunity for us because Syria plays an important role in the Middle East, particularly right now."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"30.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Syria is Iran's only ally in the Arab world."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"30.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It's their route to the sea."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"30.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It's the route for them to arm Hezbollah in Lebanon, which threatens, of course, our ally, Israel."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"30.7","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And so seeing Syria remove Assad is a very high priority for us."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"30.8","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Number two, seeing a a replacement government being responsible people is critical for us."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"30.9","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And finally, we don't want to have military involvement there."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"30.10","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We don't want to get drawn into a military conflict."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"30.11","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And so the right course for us, is working through our partners and with our own resources, to identify responsible parties within Syria, organize them, bring them together in a in a form of if not government, a form of of of council that can take the lead in Syria."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"30.12","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And then make sure they have the arms necessary to defend themselves."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"30.13","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We do need to make sure that they don't have arms that get into the the wrong hands."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"30.14","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Those arms could be used to hurt us down the road."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"30.15","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We need to make sure as well that we coordinate this effort with our allies, and particularly with with Israel."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"30.16","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But the Saudi's and the Qatari, and and the Turks are all very concerned about this."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"30.17","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They're willing to work with us."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"30.18","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We need to have a very effective leadership effort in Syria, making sure that the the insurgent there are armed and that the insurgents that become armed, are people who will be the responsible parties."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"30.19","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Recognize I believe that Assad must go."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"30.20","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I believe he will go."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"30.21","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But I believe we want to make sure that we have the relationships of friendship with the people that take his place, steps that in the years to come we see Syria as a as a friend, and Syria as a responsible party in the Middle East."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"30.22","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"This this is a critical opportunity for America."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"30.23","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And what I'm afraid of is we've watched over the past year or so, first the president saying, well we'll let the U."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"30.24","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"N."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"30.25","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"deal with it."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"30.26","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And Assad excuse me, Kofi Annan came in and said we're going to try to have a ceasefire."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"30.27","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That didn't work."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"30.28","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Then it went to the Russians and said, let's see if you can do something."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"30.29","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We should be playing the leadership role there, not on the ground with military."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"31.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"All right."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"32.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"by the leadership role."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"33.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We are playing the leadership role."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"33.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We organized the Friends of Syria."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"33.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We are mobilizing humanitarian support, and support for the opposition."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"33.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And we are making sure that those we help are those who will be friends of ours in the long term and friends of our allies in the region over the long term."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"33.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But going back to Libya because this is an example of how we make choices."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"33.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"When we went in to Libya, and we were able to immediately stop the massacre there, because of the unique circumstances and the coalition that we had helped to organize."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"33.7","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We also had to make sure that Moammar Gadhafi didn't stay there."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"33.8","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And to the governor's credit, you supported us going into Libya and the coalition that we organized."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"33.9","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But when it came time to making sure that Gadhafi did not stay in power, that he was captured, Governor, your suggestion was that this was mission creep, that this was mission muddle."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"33.10","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Imagine if we had pulled out at that point."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"33.11","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You know, Moammar Gadhafi had more American blood on his hands than any individual other than Osama bin Laden."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"33.12","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And so we were going to make sure that we finished the job."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"33.13","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's part of the reason why the Libyans stand with us."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"33.14","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But we did so in a careful, thoughtful way, making certain that we knew who we were dealing with, that those forces of moderation on the ground were ones that we could work with, and we have to take the same kind of steady, thoughtful leadership when it comes to Syria."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"33.15","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's exactly what we're doing."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"34.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Governor, can I just ask you, would you go beyond what the administration would do, like for example, would you put in no fly zones over Syria?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"35.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I don't want to have our military involved in Syria."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"35.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I don't think there is a necessity to put our military in Syria at this stage."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"35.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I don't anticipate that in the future."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"35.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"As I indicated, our objectives are to replace Assad and to have in place a new government which is friendly to us, a responsible government, if possible."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"35.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And I want to make sure they get armed and they have the arms necessary to defend themselves, but also to remove to remove Assad."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"35.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But I do not want to see a military involvement on the part of our of our troops."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"36.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Well |"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"37.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And this isn't this isn't going to be necessary."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"37.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We we have, with our partners in the region, we have sufficient resources to support those groups."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"37.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But look, this has been going on for a year."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"37.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"This is a time this should have been a time for American leadership."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"37.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We should have taken a leading role, not militarily, but a leading role organizationally, governmentally to bring together the parties; to find responsible parties."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"37.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"As you hear from intelligence sources even today, the the insurgents are highly disparate."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"37.7","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They haven't come together."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"37.8","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They haven't formed a unity group, a council of some kind."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"37.9","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That needs to happen."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"37.10","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"America can help that happen."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"37.11","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And we need to make sure they have the arms they need to carry out the very important role which is getting rid of Assad."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"38.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Can we get a quick response, Mister President, because I want to|"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"39.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well, I'll I'll be very quick."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"39.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"What you just heard Governor Romney said is he doesn't have different ideas."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"39.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And that's because we're doing exactly what we should be doing to try to promote a moderate Syrian leadership and a an effective transition so that we get Assad out."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"39.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's the kind of leadership we've shown."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"39.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's the kind of leadership we'll continue to show."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"40.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"May I ask you, you know, during the Egyptian turmoil, there came a point when you said it was time for President Mubarak to go."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"41.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Right."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"42.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Some in your administration thought perhaps we should have waited a while on that."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"42.2","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Do you have any regrets about that?"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"43.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"No, I don't, because I think that America has to stand with democracy."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"43.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The notion that we would have tanks run over those young people who were in Tahrir Square, that is not the kind of American leadership that John F."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"43.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Kennedy talked about fifty years ago."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"43.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But what I've also said is that now that you have a democratically elected government in Egypt, that they have to make sure that they take responsibility for protecting religious minorities."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"43.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And we have put significant pressure on them to make sure they're doing that; to recognize the rights of women, which is critical throughout the region."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"43.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"These countries can't develop if young women are not given the kind of education that they need."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"43.7","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They have to abide by their treaty with Israel."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"43.8","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That is a red line for us, because not only is Israel's security at stake, but our security is at stake if that unravels."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"43.9","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They have to make sure that they're cooperating with us when it comes to counterterrorism."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"43.10","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And we will help them with respect to developing their own economy, because ultimately what's going to make the Egyptian revolution successful for the people of Egypt, but also for the world, is if those young people who gathered there are seeing opportunities."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"43.11","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Their aspirations are similar to young people's here."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"43.12","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They want jobs, they want to be able to make sure their kids are going to a good school."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"43.13","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They want to make sure that they have a roof over their heads and that they have the prospects of a better life in the future."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"43.14","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And so one of the things that we've been doing is, is, for example, organizing entrepreneurship conferences with these Egyptians to give them a sense of how they can start rebuilding their economy in a way that's noncorrupt, that's transparent."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"43.15","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But what is also important for us to understand is, is that for America to be successful in this region there's some things that we're going to have to do here at home as well."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"43.16","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You know, one of the challenges over the last decade is we've done experiments in nation building in places like Iraq and Afghanistan and we've neglected, for example, developing our own economy, our own energy sectors, our own education system."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"43.17","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And it's very hard for us to project leadership around the world when we're not doing what we need to do|"}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"44.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Governor Romney, I want to hear your response to that, but I would just ask you, would you have stuck with Mubarak?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"45.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"No."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"45.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I believe, as the president indicated, and said at the time that I supported his his action there."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"45.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I felt that I wish we'd have had a better vision of the future."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"45.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I wish that, looking back at the beginning of the president's term and even further back than that, that we'd have recognized that there was a growing energy and passion for freedom in that part of the world, and that we would have worked more aggressively with our friend and with other friends in the region to have them make the transition towards a more representative form of government, such that it didn't explode in the way that it did."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"45.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But once it exploded, I felt the same as the president did, which is these freedom voices and the streets of Egypt, where the people who were speaking of our principles and the President Mubarak had done things which were unimaginable and the idea of him crushing his people was not something that we could possibly support."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"45.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Let me step back and talk about what I think our mission has to be in the Middle East and even more broadly, because our purpose is to make sure the world is more is peaceful."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"45.7","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We want a peaceful planet."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"45.8","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We want people to be able to enjoy their lives and know they're going to have a bright and prosperous future, not be at war."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"45.9","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's our purpose."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"45.10","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And the mantle of leadership for the promoting the principles of peace has fallen to America."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"45.11","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We didn't ask for it."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"45.12","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But it's an honor that we have it."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"45.13","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But for us to be able to promote those principles of peace requires us to be strong."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"45.14","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And that begins with a strong economy here at home."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"45.15","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Unfortunately, the economy is not stronger."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"45.16","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"When the when the president of Iraq excuse me, of Iran, Ahmadinejad, says that our debt makes us not a great country, that's a frightening thing."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"45.17","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Former chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said that Admiral Mullen said that our debt is the biggest national security threat we face."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"45.18","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"This we have weakened our economy."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"45.19","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We need a strong economy."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"45.20","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We need to have as well a strong military."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"45.21","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Our military is second to none in the world."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"45.22","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We're blessed with terrific soldiers, and extraordinary technology and intelligence."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"45.23","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But the idea of a trillion dollar in cuts through sequestration and budget cuts to the military would change that."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"45.24","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We need to have strong allies."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"45.25","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Our association and connection with our allies is essential to America's strength."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"45.26","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We're the great nation that has allies, forty two allies and friends around the world."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"45.27","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And, finally, we have to stand by our principles."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"45.28","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And if we're strong in each of those things, American influence will grow."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"45.29","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But unfortunately, in nowhere in the world is America's influence will grow."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"45.30","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But unfortunately, in nowhere in the world is America's influence greater today than it was four years ago."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"46.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"All right."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"47.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And that's because we've become weaker in each of those four|"}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"48.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"you're going to get a chance to respond to that, because that's a perfect segue into our next segment, and that is, what is America's role in the world?"}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"48.2","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"And that is the question."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"48.3","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"What do each of you see as our role in the world, and I believe, Governor Romney, it's your chance to go first."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"49.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well I I absolutely believe that America has a a responsibility, and the privilege of helping defend freedom and promote the principles that that make the world more peaceful."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"49.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And those principles include human rights, human dignity, free enterprise, freedom of expression, elections."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"49.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Because when there are elections, people tend to vote for peace."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"49.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They don't vote for war."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"49.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So we want to promote those principles around the world."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"49.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We recognize that there are places of conflict in the world."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"49.7","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We want to end those conflicts to the extent humanly possible."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"49.8","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But in order to be able to fulfill our role in the world, America must be strong."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"49.9","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"America must lead."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"49.10","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And for that to happen, we have to strengthen our economy here at home."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"49.11","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You can't have twenty three million people struggling to get a job."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"49.12","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You can't have an economy that over the last three years keeps slowing down its growth rate."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"49.13","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You can't have kids coming out of college, half of them can't find a job today, or a job that's commensurate with their college degree."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"49.14","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We have to get our economy going."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"49.15","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And our military, we've got to strengthen our military long term."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"49.16","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We don't know what the world is going to throw at us down the road."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"49.17","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We we make decisions today in the military that that will confront challenges we can't imagine."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"49.18","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"In the two thousand debates, there was no mention of terrorism, for instance."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"49.19","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And a year later, nine/eleven happened."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"49.20","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So, we have to make decisions based upon uncertainty, and that means a strong military."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"49.21","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I will not cut our military budget."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"49.22","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We have to also stand by our allies."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"49.23","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I I think the tension that existed between Israel and the United States was very unfortunate."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"49.24","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I think also that pulling our missile defense program out of Poland in the way we did was also unfortunate in terms of, if you will, disrupting the relationship in some ways that existed between us."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"49.25","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And then, of course, with regards to standing for our principles, when when the students took to the streets in Tehran and the people there protested, the Green Revolution occurred, for the president to be silent I thought was an enormous mistake."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"49.26","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We have to stand for our principles, stand for our allies, stand for a strong military and stand for a stronger economy."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"50.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Mister President?"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"51.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"America remains the one indispensable nation."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"51.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And the world needs a strong America, and it is stronger now than when I came into office."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"51.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Because we ended the war in Iraq, we were able to refocus our attention on not only the terrorist threat, but also beginning a transition process in Afghanistan."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"51.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It also allowed us to refocus on alliances and relationships that had been neglected for a decade."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"51.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And Governor Romney, our alliances have never been stronger, in Asia, in Europe, in Africa, with Israel, where we have unprecedented military and intelligence cooperation, including dealing with the Iranian threat."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"51.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But what we also have been able to do is position ourselves so we can start rebuilding America, and that's what my plan does."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"51.7","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Making sure that we're bringing manufacturing back to our shores so that we're creating jobs here, as we've done with the auto industry, not rewarding companies that are shipping jobs overseas."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"51.8","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Making sure that we've got the best education system in the world, including retraining our workers for the jobs of tomorrow."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"51.9","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Doing everything we can to control our own energy."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"51.10","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We've cut our oil imports to the lowest level in two decades because we've developed oil and natural gas."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"51.11","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But we also have to develop clean energy technologies that will allow us to cut our exports in half by two thousand twenty."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"51.12","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's the kind of leadership that we need to show."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"51.13","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And we've got to make sure that we reduce our deficit."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"51.14","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Unfortunately, Governor Romney's plan doesn't do it."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"51.15","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We've got to do it in a responsible way by cutting out spending we don't need, but also asking the wealthiest to pay a little bit more."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"51.16","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That way we can invest in the research and technology that's always kept us at the cutting edge."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"51.17","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Now, Governor Romney has taken a different approach throughout this campaign."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"51.18","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Both at home and abroad, he has proposed wrong and reckless policies."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"51.19","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"He's praised George Bush as a good economic steward and Dick Cheney as somebody who's who shows great wisdom and judgment."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"51.20","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And taking us back to those kinds of strategies that got us into this mess are not the way that we are going to maintain leadership in the twenty onest century."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"52.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Governor Romney, wrong and reckless policies?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"53.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I've got a policy for the future and agenda for the future."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"53.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And when it comes to our economy here at home, I know what it takes to create twelve million new jobs and rising take home pay."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"53.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And what we've seen over the last four years is something I don't want to see over the next four years."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"53.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The president said by now we'd be a five."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"53.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"four percent unemployment."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"53.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We're nine million jobs short of that."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"53.7","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I will get America working again and see rising take home pay again, and I'll do it with five simple steps."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"53.8","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Number one, we are going to have North American energy independence."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"53.9","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We're going to do it by taking full advantage of oil, coal, gas, nuclear and our renewables."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"53.10","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Number two, we're going to increase our trade."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"53.11","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Trade grows about twelve percent year."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"53.12","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It doubles about every every five or so years."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"53.13","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We can do better than that, particularly in Latin America."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"53.14","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The opportunities for us in Latin America we have just not taken advantage of fully."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"53.15","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"As a matter of fact, Latin America's economy is almost as big as the economy of China."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"53.16","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We're all focused on China."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"53.17","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Latin America is a huge opportunity for us time zone, language opportunities."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"53.18","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Number three, we're going to have to have training programs that work for our workers and schools that finally put the parents and the teachers and the kids first, and the teachers' unions going to have to go behind."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"53.19","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And then we're going to have to get to a balanced budget."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"53.20","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We can't expect entrepreneurs and businesses large and small to take their life savings or their company's money and invest in America if they think we're headed to the road to Greece."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"53.21","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And that's where we're going right now unless we finally get off this spending and borrowing binge."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"53.22","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And I'll get us on track to a balanced budget."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"53.23","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And finally, number five, we've got to champion small business."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"53.24","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Small business is where jobs come from."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"53.25","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Two thirds of our jobs come from small businesses."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"53.26","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"New business formation is down to the lowest level in thirty years under this administration."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"53.27","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I want to bring it back and get back good jobs and rising take home pay."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"54.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well, let's talk about what we need to compete."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"54.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"First of all, Governor Romney talks about small businesses."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"54.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But, Governor, when you were in Massachusetts, small businesses development ranked about forty eightth, I think out of fifty states in Massachusetts, because the policies that you are promoting actually don't help small businesses."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"54.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And the way you define small businesses includes folks at the very top."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"54.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And they include you and me."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"54.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's not the kind of small business promotion we need."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"54.7","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But let's take an example that we know is going to make a difference in the twenty onest century and that's our education policy."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"54.8","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We didn't have a lot of chance to talk about this in the last debate."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"54.9","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You know, under my leadership, what we've done is reformed education, working with governors, forty six states."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"54.10","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We've seen progress and gains in schools that were having a terrible time."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"54.11","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And they're starting to finally make progress."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"54.12","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And what I now want to do is to hire more teachers, especially in math and science, because we know that we've fallen behind when it comes to math and science."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"54.13","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And those teachers can make a difference."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"54.14","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Now, Governor Romney, when you were asked by teachers whether or not this would help the economy grow, you said this isn't going to help the economy grow."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"54.15","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"When you were asked about reduced class sizes, you said class sizes don't make a difference."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"54.16","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But I tell you, if you talk to teachers, they will tell you it does make a difference."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"54.17","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And if we've got math teachers who are able to provide the kind of support that they need for our kids, that's what's going to determine whether or not the new businesses are created here."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"54.18","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Companies are going to locate here depending on whether we've got the most highly skilled workforce."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"54.19","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And the kinds of budget proposals that you've put forward, when we don't ask either you or me to pay a dime more in terms of reducing the deficit, but instead we slash support for education, that's undermining our long term competitiveness."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"54.20","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That is not good for America's position in the world, and the world notices."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"55.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Let me get back to foreign policy."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"55.2","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Can I just get back|"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"56.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well well, I need to speak a moment|"}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"57.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"OK."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"58.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"if you'll let me, Bob, just about education|"}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"59.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"OK."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"60.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"because I'm I'm so proud of the state that I had the chance to be governor of."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"60.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We have every two years tests that look at how well our kids are doing."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"60.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Fourth graders and eighth graders are tested in English and math."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"60.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"While I was governor, I was proud that our fourth graders came out number one of all fifty states in English, and then also in math."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"60.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And our eighth graders number one in English and also in math."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"60.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"First time one state had been number one in all four measures."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"60.7","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"How did we do that?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"60.8","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well, Republicans and Democrats came together on a bipartisan basis to put in place education principles that focused on having great teachers in the classroom."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"61.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Ten years earlier|"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"62.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And that was that was that was what allowed us to become the number one state in the nation."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"63.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But that was ten years before you took office."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"64.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And then you cut education spending when you came into office."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"64.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The first the first the first and we kept our schools number one in the nation."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"64.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They're still number one today."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"65.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"All right."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"66.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And the principles that we put in place, we also gave kids not just a graduation exam that determined whether they were up to the skills needed to to be able compete, but also if they graduated the quarter of their class, they got a four year tuition free ride at any Massachusetts public institution of higher learning."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"67.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That happened before you came into office."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"68.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Governor|"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"69.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That was actually mine, actually, Mister President."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"69.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You got that fact wrong."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"70.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Let me get I want to try to shift it, because we have heard some of this in the other debates."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"70.2","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Governor, you say you want a bigger military."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"70.3","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"You want a bigger Navy."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"70.4","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"You don't want to cut defense spending."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"70.5","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"What I want to ask you we were talking about financial problems in this country."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"70.6","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Where are you going to get the money?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"71.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well, let's come back and talk about the military, but all the way all the way through."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"71.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"First of all, I'm going through from the very beginning we're going to cut about five percent of the discretionary budget, excluding military."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"71.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's number one."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"72.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"But can you do this without driving deeper|"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"73.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The good news is."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"73.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I'd be happy to have you take a look."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"73.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Come on our website."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"73.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You look at how we get to a balanced budget within eight to ten years."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"73.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We do it by getting by reducing spending in a whole series of progra Miss By the way, number one I get rid of is Obamacare."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"73.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"There are a number of things that sound good, but frankly, we just can't afford them."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"73.7","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And that one doesn't sound good and it's not affordable."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"73.8","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So I'd get rid of that one from day one."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"73.9","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"To the extent humanly possible, we get that out."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"73.10","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We take program after program that we don't absolutely have to have, and we get rid of them."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"73.11","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Number two, we take some programs that we are doing to keep, like Medicaid, which is a program for the poor; we'll take that healthcare program for the poor and we give it to the states to run because states run these programs more efficiently."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"73.12","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"As a governor, I thought please, give me this program."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"73.13","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I can run this more efficiently than the federal government and states, by the way, are proving it."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"73.14","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"States like Arizona, Rhode Island have taken these these Medicaid dollars; have shown they can run these programs more cost effectively."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"73.15","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I want to do those two things and get this get this to a balanced budget with eight eight to ten years."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"73.16","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But the military let's get back to the military, though."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"74.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"That's what I'm trying|"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"75.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"He should have answered the first question."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"75.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Look, Governor Romney's called for dollar five trillion of tax cuts that he says he's going to pay for by closing deductions."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"75.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Now, the math doesn't work, but he continues to claim that he's going to do it."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"75.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"He then wants to spend another dollar two trillion on military spending that our military is not asking for."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"75.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Now, keep in mind that our military spending has gone up every single year that I've been in office."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"75.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We spend more on our military than the next ten countries combined; China, Russia, France, the United Kingdom, you name it."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"75.7","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The next ten."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"75.8","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And what I did was work with our joint chiefs of staff to think about, what are we going to need in the future to make sure that we are safe?"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"75.9","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And that's the budget that we've put forward."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"75.10","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But, what you can't do is spend dollar two trillion in additional military spending that the military is not asking for, dollar five trillion on tax cuts."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"75.11","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You say that you're going to pay for it by closing loopholes and deductions, without naming what those loopholes and deductions are."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"75.12","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And then somehow you're also going to deal with the deficit that we've already got."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"75.13","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The math simply doesn't work."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"75.14","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But when it comes to our military, what we have to think about is not, you know just budgets, we've got to think about capabilities."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"75.15","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We need to be thinking about cyber security."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"75.16","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We need to be talking about space."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"75.17","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's exactly what our budget does, but it's driven by strategy."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"75.18","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It's not driven by politics."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"75.19","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It's not driven by members of Congress, and what they would like to see."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"75.20","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It's driven by, what are we going to need to keep the American people safe?"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"75.21","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's exactly what our budget does, and it also then allows us to reduce our deficit, which is a significant national security concern."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"75.22","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Because we've got to make sure that our economy is strong at home so that we can project military power overseas."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"76.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I'm pleased that I've balanced budgets."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"76.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I was on the world of business for twenty five years."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"76.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"If you didn't balance your budget, you went out of business."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"76.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I went into the Olympics that was out of balance, and we got it on balance, and made a success there."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"76.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I had the chance to be governor of a state."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"76.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Four years in a row, Democrats and Republicans came together to balance the budget."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"76.7","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We cut taxes nineteen times and balanced our budget."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"76.8","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The president hasn't balanced a budget yet."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"76.9","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I expect to have the opportunity to do so myself."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"77.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"All right."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"78.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I'm going to be able to balance the budget."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"78.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Let's talk about military spending, and that's this."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"79.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Thirty seconds."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Our Navy is old excuse me, our Navy is smaller now than at any time since one thousand nine hundred seventeen."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The Navy said they needed three hundred thirteen ships to carry out their mission."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We're now at under two hundred eighty five."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We're headed down to the low two hundreds if we go through a sequestration."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's unacceptable to me."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I want to make sure that we have the ships that are required by our Navy."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.7","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Our Air Force is older and smaller than at any time since it was founded in one thousand nine hundred forty seven."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.8","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We've changed for the first time since FDR since FDR we had the we've always had the strategy of saying we could fight in two conflicts at once."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.9","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Now we're changing to one conflict."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.10","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Look, this, in my view, is the highest responsibility of the President of the United States, which is to maintain the safety of the American people."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.11","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And I will not cut our military budget by a trillion dollars, which is a combination of the budget cuts the president has, as well as the sequestration cuts."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"80.12","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That, in my view, is making is making our future less certain and less secure."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"81.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Bob, I just need to comment on this."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"81.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"First of all, the sequester is not something that I've proposed."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"81.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It is something that Congress has proposed."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"81.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It will not happen."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"81.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The budget that we are talking about is not reducing our military spending."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"81.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It is maintaining it."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"81.7","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But I think Governor Romney maybe hasn't spent enough time looking at how our military works."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"81.8","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You mentioned the Navy, for example, and that we have fewer ships than we did in one thousand nine hundred sixteen."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"81.9","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well, Governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets, because the nature of our military's changed."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"81.10","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We have these things called aircraft carriers, where planes land on them."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"81.11","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We have these ships that go underwater, nuclear submarines."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"81.12","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And so the question is not a game of Battleship, where we're counting slips."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"81.13","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It's what are our capabilities."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"81.14","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And so when I sit down with the Secretary of the Navy and the Joint Chiefs of Staff, we determine how are we going to be best able to meet all of our defense needs in a way that also keeps faith with our troops, that also makes sure that our veterans have the kind of support that they need when they come home."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"81.15","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And that is not reflected in the kind of budget that you're putting forward because it just doesn't work."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"82.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"All right."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"83.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And, you know, we visited the website quite a bit and it still doesn't work."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"84.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"A lot to cover."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"84.2","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"I'd like I'd like to move to the next segment: red lines, Israel and Iran."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"84.3","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Would either of you and you'll have two minutes and, President Obama, you have the first go at this one would either of you be willing to declare that an attack on Israel is an attack on the United States, which, of course, is the same promise that we give to our close allies like Japan."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"84.4","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"And if you made such a declaration, would not that deter Iran?"}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"84.5","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"It's certainly deterred the Soviet Union for a long, long time when we made that we made we made that promise to our allies."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"84.6","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Mister President?"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"85.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"First of all, Israel is a true friend."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"85.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It is our greatest ally in the region."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"85.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And if Israel is attacked, America will stand with Israel."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"85.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I've made that clear throughout my presidency."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"85.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And|"}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"86.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"So you're you're saying we've already made that declaration."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"87.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I will stand with Israel if they are attacked."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"87.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And this is the reason why, working with Israel, we have created the strongest military and intelligence cooperation between our two countries in history."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"87.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"In fact, this week we'll be carrying out the largest military exercise with Israel in history, this very week."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"87.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But to the issue of Iran, as long as I'm president of the United States Iran will not get a nuclear weapon."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"87.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I made that clear when I came into office."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"87.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We then organized the strongest coalition and the strongest sanctions against Iran in history, and it is crippling their economy."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"87.7","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Their currency has dropped eighty percent."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"87.8","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Their oil production has plunged to the lowest level since they were fighting a war with Iraq twenty years ago."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"87.9","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So their economy is in a shambles."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"87.10","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And the reason we did this is because a nuclear Iran is a threat to our national security, and it is a threat to Israel's national security."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"87.11","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We cannot afford to have a nuclear arms race in the most volatile region of the world."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"87.12","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Iran is a state sponsor of terrorism."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"87.13","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And for them to be able to provide nuclear technology to non state actors, that's unacceptable."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"87.14","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And they have said that they want to see Israel wiped off the map."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"87.15","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So the work that we've done with respect to sanctions now offers Iran a choice."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"87.16","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They can take the diplomatic route and end their nuclear program or they will have to face a united world and a United States president, me, who said we're not going to take any options off the table."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"87.17","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The disagreement I have with Governor Romney is that, during the course of this campaign, he's often talked as if we should take premature military action."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"87.18","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I think that would be a mistake, because when I've sent young men and women into harm's way, I always understand that that is the last resort, not the first resort."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"88.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Two minutes."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"89.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well, first of all, I want to underscore the same point the president made which is that if I'm President of the United States, when I'm President of the United States, we will stand with Israel."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"89.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And if Israel is attacked, we have their back, not just diplomatically, not just culturally, but militarily."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"89.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's number one."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"89.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Number two, with regards to Iran and the threat of Iran, there's no question but that a nuclear Iran, a nuclear capable Iran is unacceptable to America."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"89.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It presents a threat not only to our friends but ultimately a threat to us to have Iran have nuclear material, nuclear weapons that could be used against us or used to be threatening to us."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"89.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It is also essential for us to understand what our mission is in Iran, and that is to dissuade Iran from having a nuclear weapon through peaceful and diplomatic means."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"89.7","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And crippling sanctions are something I called for five years ago, when I was in Israel, speaking at the Herzliya Conference."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"89.8","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I laid out seven steps, crippling sanctions were number one."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"89.9","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And they do work."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"89.10","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You're seeing it right now in the economy."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"89.11","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It's absolutely the right thing to do, to have crippling sanctions."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"89.12","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I would have put them in place earlier."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"89.13","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But it's good that we have them."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"89.14","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Number two, something I would add today is I would tighten those sanctions."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"89.15","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I would say that ships that carry Iranian oil, can't come into our ports."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"89.16","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I imagine the E."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"89.17","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"U."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"89.18","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"would agree with us as well."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"89.19","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Not only ships couldn't, but I'd say companies that are moving their oil can't, people who are trading in their oil can't."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"89.20","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I would tighten those sanctions further."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"89.21","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Secondly, I'd take on diplomatic isolation efforts."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"89.22","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I'd make sure that Ahmadinejad is indicted under the Genocide Convention."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"89.23","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"His words amount to genocide incitation."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"89.24","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I would indict him for it."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"89.25","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I would also make sure that their diplomats are treated like the pariah they are around the world."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"89.26","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The same way we treated the apartheid diplomats of South Africa."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"89.27","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We need to increase pressure time, and time again on Iran because anything other than a a a solution to this, which says which stops this this nuclear folly of theirs, is unacceptable to America."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"89.28","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And of course, a military action is the last resort."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"89.29","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It is something one would only only consider if all of the other avenues had been had been tried to their full extent."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"90.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Let me ask both of you, there as you know, there are reports that Iran and the United States a part of an international group, have agreed in principle to talks about Iran's nuclear program."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"90.2","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"What is the deal, if there are such talks?"}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"90.3","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"What is the deal that you would accept, Mister President?"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well, first of all those are reports in the newspaper."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They are not true."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But our goal is to get Iran to recognize it needs to give up its nuclear program and abide by the U."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"N."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"resolutions that have been in place."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Because they have the opportunity to reenter the community of nations, and we would welcome that."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.7","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"There there are people in Iran who have the same aspirations as people all around the world for a better life."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.8","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And we hope that their leadership takes the right decision, but the deal we'll accept is they end their nuclear program."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.9","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It's very straightforward."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.10","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And I'm glad that Governor Romney agrees with the steps that we're taking."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.11","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You know, there have been times, Governor, frankly, during the course of this campaign, where it sounded like you thought that you'd do the same things we did, but you'd say them louder and somehow that that would make a difference."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.12","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And it turns out that the work involved in setting up these crippling sanctions is painstaking."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.13","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It's meticulous."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.14","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We started from the day we got into office."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.15","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And the reason is was so important and this is a testament to how we've restored American credibility and strength around the world is we had to make sure that all the countries participated, even countries like Russia and China."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.16","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Because if it's just us that are imposing sanctions we've had sanctions in place a long time."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.17","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It's because we got everybody to agree that Iran is seeing so much pressure."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.18","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And we've got to maintain that pressure."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.19","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"There is a deal to be had, and that is that they abide by the rules that have already been established."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.20","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They convince the international community they are not pursuing a nuclear program."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.21","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"There are inspections that are very intrusive."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.22","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But over time, what they can do is regain credibility."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.23","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"In the meantime, though, we're not going to let up the pressure until we have clear evidence that that takes place."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.24","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And one last thing just just to make this point."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.25","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The clock is ticking."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.26","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We're not going to allow Iran to perpetually engage in negotiations that lead nowhere."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.27","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And I've been very clear to them."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.28","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You know, because of the intelligence coordination that we do with a range of countries, including Israel, we have a sense of when they would get breakout capacity, which means that we would not be able to intervene in time to stop their nuclear program."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.29","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And that clock is ticking."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"91.30","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And we're going to make sure that if they do not meet the demands of the international community, then we are going to take all options necessary to make sure they don't have a nuclear weapon."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"92.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Governor?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"93.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I think from the very beginning, one of the challenges we've had with Iran is that they have looked at this administration, and felt that the administration was not as strong as it needed to be."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"93.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I think they saw weakness where they had expected to find American strength."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"93.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And I say that because from the very beginning, the president in his campaign four years ago, said he would meet with all the world's worst actors in his first year, he'd sit down with Chavez and Kim Jong il, with Castro and President Ahmadinejad of Iran."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"93.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And I think they looked and thought, well, that's an unusual honor to receive from the President of the United States."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"93.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And then the president began what I have called an apology tour, of going to various nations in the Middle East and criticizing America."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"93.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I think they looked at that and saw weakness."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"93.7","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Then when there were dissidents in the streets of Tehran, a Green Revolution, holding signs saying, is America with us, the president was silent."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"93.8","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I think they noticed that as well."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"93.9","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And I think that when the president said he was going to create daylight between ourselves and Israel, that they noticed that as well."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"93.10","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"All of these things suggested, I think, to the Iranian mullahs that, hey, you know, we can keep on pushing along here, we can keep talks going on, we're just going to keep on spinning centrifuges."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"93.11","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Now there are some ten thousand centrifuges spinning uranium, preparing to create a nuclear threat to the United States and to the world."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"93.12","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's unacceptable for us, and it's essential for a president to show strength from the very beginning, to make it very clear what is acceptable and not acceptable."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"93.13","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And an Iranian nuclear program is not acceptable to us."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"93.14","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They must not develop nuclear capability."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"93.15","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And the way to make sure they understand that is by having, from the very beginning, the tightest sanctions possible."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"93.16","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They need to be tightened."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"93.17","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Our diplomatic isolation needs to be tougher."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"93.18","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We need to indict Ahmadinejad."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"93.19","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We need to put the pressure on them as hard as we possibly can, because if we do that, we won't have to take the military action."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"94.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Bob, let me just respond."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"94.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Nothing Governor Romney just said is true, starting with this notion of me apologizing."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"94.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"This has been probably the biggest whopper that's been told during the course of this campaign."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"94.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And every fact checker and every reporter who's looked at it, Governor, has said this is not true."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"94.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And when it comes to tightening sanctions, look, as I said before, we've put in the toughest, most crippling sanctions ever."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"94.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And the fact is, while we were coordinating an international coalition to make sure these sanctions were effective, you were still invested in a Chinese state oil company that was doing business with the Iranian oil sector."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"94.7","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So I'll let the American people decide, judge, who's going to be more effective and more credible when it comes to imposing crippling sanctions."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"94.8","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And with respect to our attitude about the Iranian revolution, I was very clear about the murderous activities that had taken place and that was contrary to international law and everything that civilized people stand for."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"94.9","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And and so the strength that we have shown in Iran is shown by the fact that we've been able to mobilize the world."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"94.10","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"When I came into office, the world was divided."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"94.11","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Iran was resurgent."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"94.12","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Iran is at its weakest point, economically, strategically, militarily, then since then in many years."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"94.13","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And we are going to continue to keep the pressure on to make sure that they do not get a nuclear weapon."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"94.14","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's in America's national interest and that will be the case so long as I'm president."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"95.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We're four years closer to a nuclear Iran."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"95.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We're four years closer to a nuclear Iran."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"95.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And and we should not have wasted these four years to the extent they they continue to be able to spin these centrifuges and get that much closer."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"95.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's number one."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"95.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Number two, Mister President, the reason I call it an apology tour is because you went to the Middle East and you flew to Egypt and to Saudi Arabia and to Turkey and Iraq."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"95.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And by the way, you skipped Israel, our closest friend in the region, but you went to the other nations."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"95.7","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And by the way, they noticed that you skipped Israel."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"95.8","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And then in those nations, and on Arabic TV, you said that America had been dismissive and derisive."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"95.9","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You said that on occasion America had dictated to other nations."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"95.10","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Mister President, America has not dictated to other nations."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"95.11","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We have freed other nations from dictators."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"96.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Bob, let me let me respond."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"96.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"If we're going to talk about trips that we've taken when I was a candidate for office, first trip I took was to visit our troops."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"96.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And when I went to Israel as a candidate, I didn't take donors."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"96.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I didn't attend fundraisers."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"96.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I went to Yad Beshef, the Holocaust museum there, to remind myself the nature of evil and why our bond with Israel will be unbreakable."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"96.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And then I went down to the border towns of Storok, which had experienced missiles raining dowm from Hamas."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"96.7","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And I saw families there who showed me there where missiles had come down near their children's bedroo Miss And I was reminded of what that would mean if those were my kids."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"96.8","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Which is why as president, we funded an Iron Dome program to stop those missiles."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"96.9","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So that's how I've used my travels, when I travel to Israel and when I travel to the region."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"96.10","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And the the central question at this point is going to be: Who is going to be credible to all parties involved?"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"96.11","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And they can look at my track record, whether it's Iran sanctions, whether it's dealing with counterterrorism, whether it's supporting democracy, whether it's supporting women's rights, whether it's supporting religious minorities."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"96.12","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And they can say that the President of the United States and the United States of America has stood on the right side of history."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"96.13","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And that kind of credibility is precisely why we've been able to show leadership on a wide range of issues facing the world right now."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"97.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"What if what if the prime minister of Israel called you on the phone and said, Our bombers are on the way."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"97.2","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"We're going to bomb Iran."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"97.3","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"What do you |"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"98.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Bob, let's not go into hypotheticals of that nature."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"98.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Our relationship with Israel, my relationship with the prime minister of Israel is such that we would not get a call saying our bombers are on the way, or their fighters are on the way."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"98.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"This is the kind of thing that would have been discussed and thoroughly evaluated well before that kind of |"}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"99.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"So you'd say it just wouldn't happen?"}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"99.2","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"That's |"}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"99.3","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"OK."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"99.4","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Let's see what |"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"100.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But let me let me come back we can come back."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"100.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Let's come back to what the president was speaking about, which is what's happening in the world and the president's statement that things are going so well."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"100.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Look, I look at what's happening around the world, and i see Iran four years closer to a bomb."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"100.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I see the Middle East with a rising tide of violence, chaos, tumult."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"100.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I see jihadists continuing to spread, whether they're rising or just about the same level, hard to precisely measure, but it's clear they're there."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"100.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They're very strong."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"100.7","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I see Syria with thirty thousand civilians dead, Assad still in power."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"100.8","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I see our trade deficit with China, larger than it's growing larger every year, as a matter of fact."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"100.9","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I look around the world and I don't feel that you see North Korea, continuing to export their nuclear technology, Russia said they're not going to follow Nunn Lugar any more."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"100.10","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They're back away from a nuclear proliferation treaty that we had with them."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"100.11","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I look around the world, I don't see our influence growing around the world."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"100.12","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I see our influence receding, in part because of the failure of the president to deal with our economic challenges at home; in part because of our withdrawal from our commitment to our military in the way I think it ought to be; in part because of the the the turmoil with Israel."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"100.13","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I mean, the president received a letter from thirty eight Democrat senators saying the tensions with Israel were a real problem."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"100.14","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They asked him, please repair the tension Democrat senators please repair the tension|"}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"101.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"All right."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"102.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"the damage in his in his own party."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"103.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Governor, the problem is, is that on a whole range of issues, whether it's the Middle East, whether it's Afghanistan, whether it's Iraq, whether it's now Iran, you've been all over the map."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"103.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I mean, I'm I'm pleased that you now are endorsing our policy of applying diplomatic pressure and potentially having bilateral discussions with the Iranians to end their nuclear program."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"103.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But just a few years ago you said that's something you'd never do."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"103.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"In the same way that you initially opposed a timetable in Afghanistan, now you're for it, although it depends."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"103.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"In the same way that you say you would have ended the war in Iraq, but recently gave a speech saying that we should have twenty thousand more folks in there."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"103.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The same way that you said that it was mission creep to go after Gadhafi."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"103.7","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"When it comes to going after Osama bin Laden, you said, well, any president would make that call."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"103.8","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But when you were a candidate in two thousand eight, as I was, and I said if I got bin Laden in our sights I would take that shot, you said we shouldn't move heaven and earth to get one man."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"103.9","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And you said we should ask Pakistan for permission."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"103.10","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And if we had asked Pakistan permission, we would not have gotten him."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"103.11","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And it was worth moving heaven and earth to get him."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"103.12","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You know, after we killed bin Laden I was at ground zero for a memorial and talked to a young women who was four years old when nine/eleven happened."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"103.13","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And the last conversation she had with her father was him calling from the twin towers, saying Peyton, I love you and I will always watch over you."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"103.14","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And for the next decade, she was haunted by that conversation."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"103.15","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And she said to me, You know, by finally getting bin Laden, that brought some closure to me."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"103.16","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And when we do things like that when we bring those who have harmed us to justice, that sends a message to the world and it tells Peyton that we did not forget her father."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"103.17","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And I make that point because that's the kind of clarity of leadership, and those decisions are not always popular."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"103.18","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Those decisions generally generally are not poll tested."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"103.19","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And even some in my own party, including my current vice president, had the same critique as you did."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"103.20","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But what the American people understand is that I look at what we need to get done to keep the American people safe and to move our interests forward, and I make those decisions."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"104.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"All right, let's go."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"104.2","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"And that leads us this takes us right to the next segment, Governor, America's longest war, Afghanistan and Pakistan|"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"105.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Bob|"}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"106.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Governor, you get to go first."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"107.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You can't but you can't have the president just lay out a whole series of items without giving me a chance to respond."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"108.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"With respect, sir, you had laid out quite a program|"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"109.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well, that's probably true."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"110.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"We'll give you we'll catch up."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"110.2","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"The United States is scheduled to turn over responsibility for security in Afghanistan to the Afghan government in two thousand fourteen."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"110.3","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"At that point, we will withdraw our combat troops, leave a smaller force of Americans, if I understand our policy, in Afghanistan for training purposes."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"110.4","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"It seems to me the key question here is: What do you do if the deadline arrives and it is obvious the Afghans are unable to handle their security?"}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"110.5","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Do we still leave?"}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"110.6","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"And I believe, Governor Romney, you go first?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"111.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well, we're going to be finished by two thousand fourteen, and when I'm president, we'll make sure we bring our troops out by the end of two thousand fourteen."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"111.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The commanders and the generals there are on track to do so."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"111.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We've seen progress over the past several years."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"111.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The surge has been successful and the training program is proceeding apace."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"111.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"There are now a large number of Afghan Security Forces, three hundred fifty thousand that are ready to step in to provide security and we're going to be able to make that transition by the end of two thousand fourteen."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"111.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So our troops will come home at that point."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"111.7","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I can tell you at the same time, that we will make sure that we look at what's happening in Pakistan, and recognize that what's happening in Pakistan is going to have a major impact on the success in Afghanistan."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"111.8","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And I say that because I know a lot of people that feel like we should just brush our hands and walk away."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"111.9","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And I don't mean you, Mister President, but some people in the in our nation feel that Pakistan is being nice to us, and that we should walk away fro mthem."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"111.10","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But Pakistan is important to the region, to the world and to us, because Pakistan has one hundred nuclear warheads and they're rushing to build a lot more."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"111.11","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They'll have more than Great Britain sometime in the in the relatively near future."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"111.12","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They also have the Haqqani Network and the Taliban existent within their country."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"111.13","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And so a Pakistan that falls apart, becomes a failed state, would be of extraordinary danger to Afghanistan and to us."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"111.14","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And so we're going to have to remain helpful in encouraging Pakistan to move towards a more stable government and rebuild the relationship with us."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"111.15","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And that means that our aid that we provide to Pakistan is going to have to be conditioned upon certain benchmarks being met."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"111.16","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So for me, I look at this as both a need to help move Pakistan in the right direction, and also to get Afghanistan to be ready, and they will be ready by the end of two thousand fourteen."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"112.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Mister President?"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"113.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"When I came into office, we were still bogged down in Iraq and Afghanistan had been drifting for a decade."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"113.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We ended the war in Iraq, refocused our attention on Afghanistan, and we did deliver a surge of troops."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"113.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That was facilitated in part because we had ended the war in Iraq."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"113.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And we are now in a position where we have met many of the objectives that got us there in the first place."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"113.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Part of what had happened is we'd forgotten why we had gone."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"113.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We went because there were people who were responsible for three thousand American deaths."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"113.7","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And so we decimated Al Qaida's core leadership in the border regions between Afghanistan and Pakistan."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"113.8","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We then started to build up Afghan forces."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"113.9","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And we're now in a position where we can transition out, because there's no reason why Americans should die when Afghans are perfectly capable of defending their own country."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"113.10","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Now, that transition has to take place in a responsible fashion."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"113.11","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We've been there a long time, and we've got to make sure that we and our coalition partners are pulling out responsibly and giving Afghans the capabilities that they need."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"113.12","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But what I think the American people recognize is after a decade of war it's time to do some nation building here at home."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"113.13","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And what we can now do is free up some resources, to, for example, put Americans back to work, especially our veterans, rebuilding our roads, our bridges, our schools, making sure that, you know, our veterans are getting the care that they need when it comes to post traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury, making sure that the certifications that they need for good jobs of the future are in place."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"113.14","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You know, I was having lunch with some a veteran in Minnesota who had been a medic dealing with the most extreme circumstances."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"113.15","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"When he came home and he wanted to become a nurse, he had to start from scratch."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"113.16","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And what we've said is let's change those certifications."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"113.17","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The first lady has done great work with an organization called Joining Forces putting our veterans back to work."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"113.18","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And as a consequence, veterans' unemployment is actually now lower than general population."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"113.19","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It was higher when I came into office."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"113.20","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So those are the kinds of things that we can now do because we're making that transition in Afghanistan."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"114.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"All right."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"114.2","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Let me go to Governor Romney because you talked about Pakistan and what needs to be done there."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"114.3","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"General Allen, our commander in Afghanistan, says that Americans continue to die at the hands of groups who are supported by Pakistan."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"114.4","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"We know that Pakistan has arrested the doctor who helped us catch Obama bin Laden."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"114.5","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"It still provides safe haven for terrorists, yet we continue to give Pakistan billions of dollars."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"114.6","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Is it time for us to divorce Pakistan?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"No, it's not time to divorce a nation on Earth that has one hundred nuclear weapons and is on the way to double that at some point, a nation that has serious threats from terrorist groups within its nation, as I indicated before, the Taliban, Haqqani Network."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It's a nation that's not like like others and it does not have a civilian leadership that is calling the shots there."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You have the ISI, their intelligence organization, is probably the most powerful of the of three branches there."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Then you have the military and then you have the civilian government."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"This is a nation, which, if it falls apart, if it if it becomes a failed state, there are nuclear weapons there and you've got you've got terrorists there who could grab their their hands onto those nuclear weapons."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"This is this is an important part of the world for us."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.7","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Pakistan is is technically an ally, and they're not acting very much like an ally right now."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.8","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But we have some work to do."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.9","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And I I don't blame the administration for the fact that the relationship with Pakistan is strained."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.10","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We we had to go into Pakistan."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.11","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We had to go in there to get Osama bin Laden."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.12","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That was the right thing to do."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.13","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And and that upset them, but obviously there was a great deal of anger even before that."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.14","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But we're going to have to work with the with the people in Pakistan to try and help them move to a more responsible course than the one that they're on."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.15","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And it's important for them."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.16","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It's important for the nuclear weapons."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.17","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It's important for the success of Afghanistan."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.18","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Because inside Pakistan, you have a a large group of Pashtun that are that are Taliban."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.19","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They're going to come rushing back in to Afghanistan when we go."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.20","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And that's one of the reasons the Afghan Security Forces have so much work to do to be able to fight against that."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.21","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But it's important for us to recognize that we can't just walk away from Pakistan."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"115.22","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But we do need to make sure that as we as we send support for them, that this is tied to them making progress on on matters that would lead them to becoming a civil society."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"116.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Let let me ask you, Governor because we know President Obama's position on this, what is what is your position on the use of drones?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"117.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well I believe we should use any and all means necessary to take out people who pose a threat to us and our friends around the world."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"117.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And it's widely reported that drones are being used in drone strikes, and I support that and entirely, and feel the president was right to up the usage of that technology, and believe that we should continue to use it, to continue to go after the people that represent a threat to this nation and to our friends."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"117.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But let me also note that as I said earlier, we're going to have to do more than just going after leaders and and killing bad guys, important as that is."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"117.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We're also going to have to have a farm more effective and comprehensive strategy to help move the world away from terror and Islamic extremism."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"117.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We haven't done that yet."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"117.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We talk a lot about these things, but you look at the the record, you look at the record."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"117.7","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You look at the record of the last four years and say is Iran closer to a bomb?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"117.8","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Yes."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"117.9","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Is the Middle East in tumult?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"117.10","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Yes."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"117.11","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Is is al Qaida on he run, on its heels?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"117.12","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"No."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"117.13","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Is are Israel and the Palestinians closer to reaching a peace agreement?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"117.14","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"No, they haven't had talks in two years."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"117.15","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We have not seen the progress we need to have, and I'm convinced that with strong leadership and an effort to build a strategy based upon helping these nations reject extremism, we can see the kind of peace and prosperity the world demands."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"118.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well, keep in mind our strategy wasn't just going after bin Laden."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"118.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We created partnerships throughout the region to deal with extremism in Somalia, in Yemen, in Pakistan."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"118.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And what we've also done is engaged these governments in the kind of reforms that are actually going to make a difference in people's lives day to day, to make sure that their governments aren't corrupt, to make sure that they're treating women with the kind of respect and dignity that every nation that succeeds has shown and to make sure that they've got a free market system that works."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"118.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So across the board, we are engaging them in building capacity in these countries."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"118.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And we have stood on the side of democracy."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"118.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"One thing I think Americans should be proud of, when Tunisians began to protest, this nation me, my administration stood with them earlier than just about any country."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"118.7","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"In Egypt we stood on the side of democracy."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"118.8","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"In Libya we stood on the side of the people."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"118.9","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And as a consequence, there's no doubt that attitudes about Americans have changed."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"118.10","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But there are always going to be elements in these countries that potentially threaten the United States."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"118.11","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And we want to shrink those groups and those networks and we can do that."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"118.12","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But we're always also going to have to maintain vigilance when it comes to terrorist activities."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"118.13","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The truth, though, is that Al Qaeda is much weaker than it was when I came into office."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"118.14","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And they don't have the same capacities to attack the U."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"118.15","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"S."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"118.16","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"homeland and our allies as they did four years ago."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"119.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Let's let's go to the next segment, because it's a very important one."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"119.2","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"It is the rise of China and future challenges for America."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"119.3","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"I want to just begin this by asking both of you, and Mister President, you you go first this time."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"119.4","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"What do you believe is the greatest future threat to the national security of this country?"}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"120.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well, I think it will continue to be terrorist networks."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"120.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We have to remain vigilant, as I just said."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"120.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But with respect to China, China is both an adversary, but also a potential partner in the international community if it's following the rules."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"120.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So my attitude coming into office was that we are going to insist that China plays by the same rules as everybody else."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"120.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I know Americans had seen jobs being shipped overseas; businesses and workers not getting a level playing field when it came to trade."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"120.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And that's the reason why I set up a trade task force to go after cheaters when it came to international trade."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"120.7","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's the reason why we have brought more cases against China for violating trade rules than the other the previous administration had done in two ter Miss And we've won just about every case that we've filed, that has been decided."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"120.8","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"In fact, just recently steelworkers in Ohio and throughout the Midwest Pennsylvania are in a position now to sell steel to China because we won that case."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"120.9","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We had a tire case in which they were flooding us with cheap domestic tires or or cheap Chinese tires."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"120.10","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And we put a stop to it and as a consequence saved jobs throughout America."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"120.11","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I have to say that Governor Romney criticized me for being too tough in that tire case; said this wouldn't be good for American workers and that it would be protectionist."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"120.12","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But I tell you, those workers don't feel that way."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"120.13","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They feel as if they had finally an administration who was going to take this issue seriously."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"120.14","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Over the long term, in order for us to compete with China, we've also got to make sure, though, that we're taking taking care of business here at home."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"120.15","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"If we don't have the best education system in the world, if we don't continue to put money into research and technology that will allow us to create great businesses here in the United States, that's how we lose the competition."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"120.16","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And, unfortunately, Governor Romney's budget and his proposals would not allow us to make those investments."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"121.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"All right."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"121.2","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Governor?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"122.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well, first of all, it's not government that makes business successful."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"122.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It's not government investments that makes businesses grow and hire people."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"122.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Let me also note that the greatest threat that the world faces, the greatest national security threat is a nuclear Iran."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"122.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Let's talk about China."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"122.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"China has an interest that's very much like ours in one respect, and that is they want a stable world."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"122.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They don't want war."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"122.7","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They don't want to see protectionism."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"122.8","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They don't want to see the world break out into into various forms of chaos, because they have to they have to manufacture goods and put people to work and they have about twenty thousand twenty million, rather, people coming out of the farms every year coming into the cities, needing jobs."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"122.9","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So they want the economy to work and the world to be free and open."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"122.10","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And so we can be a partner with China."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"122.11","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We don't have to be an adversary in any way, shape or form."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"122.12","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We can work with them, we can collaborate with them, if they're willing to be responsible."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"122.13","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Now, they look at us and say, Is it a good idea to be with America?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"122.14","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"How strong are we going to be?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"122.15","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"How strong is our economy?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"122.16","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They look at the fact that we owe 'em a trillion dollars and owe other people dollar sixteen trillion in total, including that."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"122.17","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They look at our our decision to to cut back on our military capabilities."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"122.18","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"A trillion dollars."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"122.19","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The secretary of defense called these trillion dollars of cuts to our military devastating."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"122.20","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It's not my term, it's the president's own secretary of defense called these trillion dollars of cuts to our military devastating."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"122.21","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It's not my term, it's the president's own Secretary of Defense, called them devastating."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"122.22","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They look at America's commitments around the world and they see what's happening, and they say, well, OK."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"122.23","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Is America going to be strong?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"122.24","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And the answer is, yes, if I'm president, America will be very strong."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"122.25","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We'll also make sure that we have trade relations with China that work for us."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"122.26","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I've watched year in and year out as companies have shut down and people have lost their jobs because China has not played by the same rules, in part by holding down artificially the value of their currency."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"122.27","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It holds down the prices of their goods."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"122.28","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It means our goods aren't as competitive and we lose jobs."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"122.29","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's got to end."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"122.30","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They're making some progress; they need to make more."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"122.31","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's why on day one, i will label them a currency manipulator, which allows us to apply tariffs where they're taking jobs."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"122.32","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They're stealing our intellectual property, our patents, our designs, our technology, hacking into our computers, counterfeiting our goods."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"122.33","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They have to understand we want to trade with them."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"122.34","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We want a world that's stable."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"122.35","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We like free enterprise, but you got to play by the rules."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"123.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Well, Governor, let me just ask you."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"123.2","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"If you declare them a currency manipulator on day one, some people are say you're just going to start a trade war with China on day one."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"123.3","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Is that isn't there a risk that that could happen?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"124.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well, they sell us about this much stuff every year, and we sell them about this much stuff every year."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"124.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"So it's pretty clear who doesn't want a trade war."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"124.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And there's one going on right now, which we don't know about it."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"124.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It's a silent one."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"124.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And they're winning."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"124.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We have enormous trade imbalance with China, and it's worse this year than last year, and it's worse last year than the year before."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"124.7","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And so we have to understand that we can't just surrender and lose jobs year in and year out."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"124.8","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We have to say to our friend in China, look, you guys are playing aggressively."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"124.9","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We understand it."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"124.10","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But this can't keep on going."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"124.11","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You can't keep on holding down the value of your currency, stealing our intellectual property, counterfeiting our products, selling them around the world, even to the United States."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"124.12","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I was with one company that makes valves and and process industries and they said, look, we were we were having some valves coming in that that were broken and we had to repair them under warranty and we looked them and and they had our serial number on them."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"124.13","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And then we noticed that there was more than one with that same serial number."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"124.14","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"They were counterfeit products being made overseas with the same serial number as a U."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"124.15","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"S."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"124.16","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"company, the same packaging, these were being sold into our market and around the world as if they were made by the U."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"124.17","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"S."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"124.18","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"competitor."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"124.19","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"This can't go on."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"124.20","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I want a great relationship with China."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"124.21","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"China can be our partner, but but that doesn't mean they can just roll all over us and steal our jobs on an unfair basis."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"125.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well, Governor Romney's right, you are familiar with jobs being shipped overseas because you invested in companies that were shipping jobs overseas."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"125.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And, you know, that's you're right."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"125.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I mean that's how our free market works."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"125.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But I've made a different bet on American workers."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"125.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"If we had taken your advice Governor Romney about our auto industry, we'd be buying cars from China instead of selling cars to China."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"125.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"If we take your advice with respect to how we change our tax codes so that companies that earn profits overseas don't pay U."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"125.7","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"S."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"125.8","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"taxes compared to companies here that are paying taxes."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"125.9","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Now that's estimated to create eight hundred thousand jobs, the problem is they won't be here, they'll be in places like China."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"125.10","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And if we're not making investments in education and basic research, which is not something that the private sector is doing at a sufficient pace right now and has never done, then we will lose the in things like clean energy technology."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"125.11","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Now with respect to what we've done with China already, U."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"125.12","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"S."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"125.13","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"exports have doubled since I came into office, to China and actually currencies are at their most advantageous point for U."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"125.14","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"S."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"125.15","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"exporters since one thousand nine hundred ninety three."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"125.16","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We absolutely have to make more progress and that's why we're going to keep on pressing."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"125.17","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And when it comes to our military and Chinese security, part of the reason that we were able to pivot to the Asia Pacific region after having ended the war in Iraq and transitioning out of Afghanistan, is precisely because this is going to be a massive growth area in the future."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"125.18","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And we believe China can be a partner, but we're also sending a very clear signal that America is a Pacific power; that we are going to have a presence there."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"125.19","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We are working with countries in the region to make sure, for example, that ships can pass through; that commerce continues."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"125.20","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And we're organizing trade relations with countries other than China so that China starts feeling more pressure about meeting basic international standards."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"125.21","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's the kind of leadership we've shown in the region."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"125.22","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"That's the kind of leadership that we'll continue to show."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"126.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I just want to take one of those points, again, attacking me as not talking about an agenda for for getting more trade and opening up more jobs in this country."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"126.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But the president mentioned the auto industry and that somehow I would be in favor of jobs being elsewhere."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"126.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Nothing could be further from the truth."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"126.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I'm a son of Detroit."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"126.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I was born in Detroit."}

{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"126.11","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"My plan to get the industry on its feet when it was in real trouble was not to start writing checks."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"126.12","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It was President Bush that wrote the first checks."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"126.13","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I disagree with that."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"126.14","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I said they need these companies need to go through a managed bankruptcy."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"126.15","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And in that process, they can get government help and government guarantees, but they need to go through bankruptcy to get rid of excess cost and the debt burden that they'd they'd built up."}

{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"161.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Bringing down our deficit by adding dollar seven trillion of tax cuts and military spending that our military is not asking for, before we even get to the debt that we currently have, that is not going to make us more competitive."}

{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"161.9","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And the one thing that I'm absolutely clear about is that after a decade in which we saw drift, jobs being shipped overseas, nobody championing American workers and American businesses, we've now begun to make some real progress."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"161.10","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"What we can't do is go back to the same policies that got us into such difficulty in the first place."}

{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"162.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I couldn't agree more about going forward, but I certainly don't want to go back to the policies of the last four years."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"162.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The policies of the last four years have seen incomes in America decline every year for middle income families, now down dollar four thousand three hundred during your term."}

{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"162.15","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It's just a tragedy in a nation so prosperous as ours, that the last four years have been so hard."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"162.16","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And that's why it's so critical, that we make America once again the most attractive place in the world to start businesses, to build jobs, to grow the economy."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"162.17","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And that's not going to happen by just hiring teachers."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"162.18","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Look, I love to I love teachers, and I'm happy to have states and communities that want to hire teachers do that."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"162.19","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"By the way, I don't like to have the federal government start pushing its weight deeper and deeper into our schools."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"162.20","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Let the states and localities do that."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"162.21","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I was a governor."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"162.22","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The federal government didn't hire our teachers."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"162.23","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But I love teachers."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"162.24","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"But I want to get our private sector growing and I know how to do it."}

{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"164.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Well, thank you very much, Bob, Governor Romney, and to Lynn University."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"164.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"You've now heard three debates, months of campaigning and way too many TV commercials."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"164.3","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And now you've got a choice."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"164.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Over the last four years we've made real progress digging our way out of policies that gave us two prolonged wars, record deficits and the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"164.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And Governor Romney wants to take us back to those policies, a foreign policy that's wrong and reckless, economic policies that won't create jobs, won't reduce our deficit, but will make sure that folks at the very top don't have to play by the same rules that you do."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"164.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And I've got a different vision for America."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"164.7","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I want to build on our strengths."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"164.8","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And I've put forward a plan to make sure that we're bringing manufacturing jobs back to our shores by rewarding companies and small businesses that are investing here, not overseas."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"164.9","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I want to make sure we've got the best education system in the world."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"164.10","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And we're retaining our workers for the jobs of tomorrow."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"164.11","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I want to control our own energy by developing oil and natural gas but also the energy sources of the future."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"164.12","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Yes, I want to reduce our deficit by cutting spending that we don't need but also by asking the wealthy to do a little bit more so that we can invest in things like research and technology that are the key to a twenty onest century economy."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"164.13","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"As Commander in Chief, I will maintain the strongest military in the world, keep faith with our troops and go after those who would do us harm."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"164.14","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"but after a decade of war, I think we all recognize we've got to do some nation building here at home, rebuilding our roads, our bridges and especially caring for our Veterans who sacrificed so much for our freedom."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"164.15","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And we've been through tough times but we always bounce back because of our character, because we pull together and if I have the privilege of being your president for another four years, I promise you I will always listen to your voices."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"164.16","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I will fight for your families and I will work every single day to make sure that America continues to be the greatest nation on earth."}
{"person":"OBAMA","tot":"164.17","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Thank you."}
{"person":"SCHIEFFER","tot":"165.1","time":"time 3","role":"moderator","dialogue":"Governor?"}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"166.1","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Thank you."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"166.2","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Bob, Mister President, folks at Lynn University, good to be with you."}

{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"166.4","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I'm excited about our prospects as a nation."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"166.5","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I want to see peace."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"166.6","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I want to see growing peace in this country."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"166.7","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"It's our objective."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"166.8","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We have an opportunity to have real leadership."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"166.9","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"America's going to have that kind of leadership and continue to promote principles of peace to make a world a safer place and make people in this country more confident that their future is secure."}

{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"166.11","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"And there are two very different paths the country can take."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"166.12","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"One is a path represented by the president, which at the end of four years would mean we'd have dollar twenty trillion in debt heading towards Greece."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"166.13","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I'll get us on track to a balanced budget."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"166.14","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The president's path will mean continuing declining in take home pay."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"166.15","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I want to make sure our take home pay turns around and starts to grow."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"166.16","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"The president's path will mean continuing declining in take home pay."}

{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"166.20","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I'm going to make sure that we get people off of food stamps, not by cutting the program, but by getting them good jobs."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"166.21","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"America's going to come back, and for that to happen, we're going to have to have a president who can work across the aisle."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"166.22","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I was in a state where my legislature was eighty seven percent Democrat."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"166.23","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"I learned how to get along on the other side of the aisle."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"166.24","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"We've got to do that in Washington."}
{"person":"ROMNEY","tot":"166.25","time":"time 3","role":"candidate","dialogue":"Washington is broken."}
