Barack Obama actually said...

"I'm going to run for President because there are some long-term things that we can do that will start growing our economy from the bottom up."

"He wanted to make sure that he was having a real exchange with the American people about issues that are important to them."

"All of us are going to have to be pulling together and refocusing on the future and not just the present."

"When I walked in, what we had was a situation in Afghanistan that had badly deteriorated over the course of 7 years."
