"I will never, under the guise of reducing the deficit, turn Medicare into a voucher, because Americans shouldn`t have to spend their golden years at the mercy of insurance companies," he said.
"Finally, I`ll use the savings from ending the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to put people back to work doing some nation building here at home, rebuilding our roads and our bridges, our broadband lines in the rural areas, fixing our schools up," Obama said, adding that is how he would build a strong, sustainable economy that has good middle-class jobs.
"That`s why I`m asking for your vote in this election. That`s why I`m asking for your vote. And if I have the privilege of serving as your president for another four years, I promise you will always have a president who hears your voice," Obama said.
