Barack Obama actually said...

"The last thing we can afford is four more years of the tired, old theory that says we should give more to billionaires and big corporations and hope that prosperity trickles down to everyone else."

"That's what hope is - that thing inside us that insists, despite all evidence to the contrary, that there are better days ahead."

"Most of all, I knew the American people were a decent, generous people willing to work hard and sacrifice for future generations."

"America, the time for change has come."
