Barack Obama actually said...

"I think that the way that he's speaking to and about African-Americans is working."

"We need families to raise our children. We need fathers to recognize that responsibility doesn't just end at conception."

"This gives Barack Obama an opportunity to move away from grievance-based politics that so many Americans have frankly gotten really burnt out on."

"Barack Obama is a presidential candidate. He is a politician. He is a brilliant and supremely and superbly gifted politician."
