Barack Obama actually said...

"The failure of leadership, the smallness of our politics... has stopped us from meeting these challenges."

"In the face of war, you believe there can be peace. In the face of despair, you believe there can be hope."

"I might play a small part in building a better America."

"For that is our unyielding faith - that in the face of impossible odds, people who love their country can change it."
