Barack Obama actually said...

"I will reform our tax code so that it's simple, fair, and advances opportunity instead of distorting the market."

"It was the logical conclusion of a tired and misguided philosophy that has dominated Washington for far too long."

"Instead of spending twelve billion dollars a month to rebuild Iraq, I think it's time we invested in our roads and schools and bridges and started to rebuild America."

"We can't afford four more years of skewed priorities that give us nothing but record debt."
