Let’s help more Iowans learn to be leaders at the Harkin Public Policy Institute that a Cyclone alum and your great Senator, Tom Harkin, is setting up. (Applause.) He’s working along with your new president, Steven Leath — doing a great job. (Applause.)
And as Mischa mentioned, although I am getting gray, I still remember what it was like for you guys — because Michelle and I finished paying off our loans just eight years ago. We know what it’s like. We shouldn’t make it harder. We should make it easier. We shouldn’t end the college tax credit we created; we should extend it. Because in America, higher education isn’t a luxury — it’s an economic necessity that every family should be able to afford. That’s the choice in this election. (Applause.)
You can choose an energy plan written by and for big oil companies.
AUDIENCE MEMBER: No!
THE PRESIDENT: That’s what my opponent is offering. Or you can choose an all-of-the-above energy strategy for America — renewable sources of energy. (Applause.) Governor Romney called those “imaginary.” Congressman Ryan said they’re a “fad.”

Nearly 7,000 good Iowa jobs depend on the wind industry. It’s time to stop giving $4 billion of taxpayer subsidies to oil companies that are making a profit every time you pump gas. Let’s give it to homegrown energy sources that have never been more promising. (Applause.) That’s good for jobs. It’s good for the economy. It’s good for the environment. That’s the direction we need to go in. (Applause.)
