Barack Obama actually said...

"I think there's nothing wrong with us saying we want every single American to have opportunity. That's what this country is all about."

"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."
