Barack Obama actually said...

"People want an affirmation."

"We can't afford the same politics of fear that tells Democrats that the only way to look tough on national security is to talk, act, and vote like George Bush Republicans."

"I chose to run because I believed that the size of these challenges had outgrown the capacity of our broken and divided politics to solve them."

"But only if we're willing to work for it and fight for it."
