Barack Obama actually said...

"I'm as determined as I ever was, and I believe as deeply as I ever have, about the core decency of the American people and the importance of a Government that reflects those values."

"The bottom line is that, as exciting and fun as 2008 was, at least in retrospect, the stakes are higher this time."

"I am more determined and more confident than I have ever been that if we keep at it, that America is poised to be stronger, more unified, more competitive, bolder, more generous than we ever have been..."

"This isn't about envy."
