Live clip of President Obama campaigning in Fairfax, Virginia. President Obama says, “…but -- but for the undecideds that are here -- as well as those who are watching today, I've said this before, this is a choice not just between two candidates or two parties, but a choice between two fundamentally different visions for America. And today I believe that as a nation, we are moving forward again. We're moving forward. Now, after losing about 800,000 jobs a month when I took office, our businesses have now added 5.2 million new jobs over the past two and a half years. This morning, we found out that the unemployment rate has fallen to its lowest level since I took office. More Americans entered the workforce. More people are getting jobs. Now, every month reminds us that we’ve still got too many of our friends and neighbors who are looking for work. And there are too many middle-class families that are still struggling to pay the bills -- they were struggling long before the crisis hit. But today’s news certainly is not an excuse to try to talk down the economy to score a few political points. It’s a reminder that this country has come too far to turn back now. Because of your strength and resilience, the strength and resilience of the American people, we have made too much progress to return to the policies that led to the crisis in the first place. I can’t allow that to happen. I won’t allow that to happen. And that is why I’m running for a second term as President of the United States. I have seen too much pain, seen too much struggle, to let this country get hit with another round of top-down economics. One of the main reasons we had this crisis is because big banks on Wall Street were allowed to make big bets with other people’s money on the line -- and now Governor Romney wants to roll back the rules we put in place to stop that behavior? That’s not going to happen. That is not going to happen. One of the main reasons record surpluses under Bill Clinton were turned into record deficits under George Bush is because we put two wars and two tax cuts on a credit card -- and now Governor Romney wants another $5 trillion in tax cuts that he can’t pay for? Not if I have anything to say about it. That’s not going to happen. We are not going to let this country fall backward -- not now, not with so much at stake. We’ve got to move forward. We need to invest in small business and manufacturers who create jobs here in the United States. We need to recruit 100,000 math and science teachers, train 2 million workers at community college, bring down the cost of college tuition. We need to cut our oil imports in half and create thousands more jobs in clean energy. We need to use the savings from ending the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to help pay down our deficit and put people back to work doing some nation-building right here at home. That’s the agenda we need. That’s how you strengthen the middle class. That’s how you keep moving forward. That is the choice in this election. And that’s why I’m running for a second term. That’s what we need. My opponent has been trying to do a two-step and reposition -- and got an extreme makeover. But the bottom line is his underlying philosophy is the top-down economics that we’ve seen before. He thinks that if we just spend another $5 trillion on tax cuts that, yes, are skewed towards the wealthiest, if we get rid of more regulations on Wall Street then our problems will be solved. Jobs and prosperity will rain down from the sky. The deficits will magically disappear. We will live happily ever after. Even though he’s been proposing this plan for months now, he’s had a little trouble explaining just how it would work without blowing a hole in the deficit or making middle-class families pick up the tab. The other night, he ruled out asking millionaires and billionaires to pay even a dime more in taxes. He said there’s no way that he’d close the loophole that gives big oil companies billions each year in corporate welfare. Ending tax breaks for corporations that move jobs and profits overseas? He’d never heard of such a thing. Who knew? Who knew? When he was asked what he’d actually do to cut spending and reduce the deficit, his big example is to go after public television. So for all you moms and kids out there, don’t worry -- someone is finally getting tough on Big Bird. Rounding him up. Elmo has got to watch out, too. Governor Romney plans to let Wall Street run wild again, but he’s going to bring down the hammer on "Sesame Street." It makes perfect sense. Virginia, we can’t afford to double down on the same old top-down economic policies that caused this mess in the first place. We cannot afford another round of tax cuts for the wealthy. We can’t afford to gut our investments in education, or clean energy, or research and technology. We can’t afford to roll back regulations on Wall Street banks or oil companies or insurance companies. That is not a jobs plan. It’s not a plan to grow our economy. It’s sure not a plan to strengthen our middle class. We have been there. We have tried that. We’re not going back. We are moving forward. We’ve got a different view about how we create jobs and prosperity in this country. This country doesn’t just succeed when just a few are doing well at the top. It succeeds when the middle class gets bigger. Our economy doesn’t grow from the top down -- it grows from the middle out. We don’t believe that anybody is entitled to success in this country, but we do believe in opportunity. We believe in a country where hard work pays off and responsibility is rewarded, and everybody is getting a fair shot and everybody is doing their fair share and everybody is playing by the same rules. That's the country we believe in. That’s what we’ve been fighting for over the last four years. That’s what we are going to put in place in the next four years if you reelect me as President of the United States of America. That's what we’re going to do…”. 11:29:07 Split screen of Roberts and live video of President Obama campaigning. Roberts is rejoined by Del Percio, Kofinis, and Capehart.
