Barack Obama actually said...

"It was about a commitment that the American people were making to each other."

"How am I going to pull up the ladder on the next generation of kids who are just as talented, smarter than I am?"

"I'm going to need all of you just as engaged, just as motivated, and taking as much ownership over the campaign as you did then."

"This is going to be just as hard, if not harder, than 2008."
