Barack Obama actually said...

"I run for the presidency for the same reason I drove halfway across the country over two decades ago to bring jobs to the jobless and hope to the hopeless on the streets of Chicago."

"For the first time in a long time, the name George Bush will not appear on the ballot."

"I truly believe we can bring about the world that Harry and Eliza Briggs dreamed of for their children."

"I never would have begun this campaign if I weren't confident I could win."
