Barack Obama actually said...

"We can't afford another President who ignores the fundamentals of our economy while running up record deficits to fight a war without end in Iraq."

"If you want real change - if you want an economy that rewards work, and that works for Main Street and Wall Street; if you want tax relief for the middle class and millions of new jobs."

"To succeed, we need leadership that understands the connection between our economy and our strength in the world."

"We must recognize that from global economic turmoil to global terrorism, the challenges we face demand American leadership of strong alliances."
