I promise you - we will win Ohio, we will win this election, and then you and I - together - will change this country and change this world.

We can't afford four more years of John McCain's George Bush policies.

This isn't about losing a campaign - this is about Americans who are losing their jobs, and their homes, and their life savings.

It will take more than a few days to repair the damage.

As millions of Americans lost more of their investments and hard-earned retirement savings today, it is critical that the Treasury Department move as quickly as possible to implement the rescue plan that passed Congress so that we can ease…

Make no mistake: we must do more to help innocent homebuyers.

While we face a very serious challenge, now is not the time for fear or panic, but for all of us to come together with resolve and determination that we can steer ourselves out of this crisis and restore confidence in the American economy.

It is time to turn the page on eight years of economic policies that put Wall Street before Main Street but ended up hurting both.

I understand -- there's some things that I don't understand. I don't understand Iraq. I don't understand why we weren't greeted as liberators.

This campaign is very much you're your candidate; not too high, not too low but just steady.

We have got to reform health care, to help you and your budget. We are going to have to deal with energy because we can't keep on borrowing from the Chinese and sending money to Saudi Arabia. We are mortgaging our children's future; we…

If we have Osama bin Laden in our sites and the Pakistani government is unable or unwilling to take them out, then I think that we have to act and we will take them out. We will kill Bin Laden, we will crush Al Qaeda. That has to be our…
