Barack Obama actually said...

"if you make less than a quarter million dollars a year, you will not see your taxes increase by a single dime, not your income tax or payroll tax, not your capital gains tax, nothing."

"We can't afford the same old political games, the same nasty ads, the same underhanded tactics that are used to pit us against one another."

"It's also about a new attitude, a new politics, a politics that calls on our better angels instead of encouraging our worst instincts."

"It's time for a new driver behind the wheel, and that's why I'm running for president of the United States of America."
