Barack Obama: “This was the moment when we decided to confront America's energy challenge and reclaim America's future.”

And I will fight for that, even if I don’t always think it’s going to win.

This race is going to be close. It could determine which party controls the Senate and whether Ohioans can count on the people in Washington to be fighting for you.

It is a decision about how do we face and embrace this finite amount of time we have on the planet.

I think when we act on that basis, it doesn't always work out, but over time things do get better.
