Barack Obama

This is a global financial crisis and it requires a global solution.

The era of greed and irresponsibility on Wall Street and in Washington has led to a financial crisis as profound as any we have faced since the Great Depression.

Yes. I think that a nuclear armed Iran is not just a threat to us, it's a threat to Israel.

I am running for President of the United States because the dreams of the American people must not be endangered any more.

The bottom line is that we must change the economic policies that led us down this dangerous path in the first place.

We must work quickly in a bipartisan fashion to resolve this crisis and restore our financial sector so capital is flowing again and we can avert an even broader economic catastrophe.

I think there's no doubt that we're gonna see, when the numbers come out, that we are officially in recession.

I understand where we need to take the country.

Recent events in the Caucasus region remind us of both the importance of rededicating ourselves to peace, and the possibility of progress even where there is a long history of alienation.

This should not be a handout to Wall Street.

The era of greed and irresponsibility on Wall Street and in Washington has led us to a perilous moment.

Look, if the question is executive experience, then Senator McCain and I are on equal footing.

The American people need to know that we feel as great a sense of urgency about the emergency on Main Street as we do the emergency on Wall Street.

America has benefited tremendously from the vigor and talents of the Armenian people.

I will cut taxes - cut taxes - for 95% of all working families.

I believe in pay as you go.

That's the change the American people need.

American policy must build on this step, to ensure that Armenia enjoys a future not merely of independence but of partnership and cooperation with the U.S. and its allies.

I know how hard the women of this country are working.

My criteria for an achievable and sustainable situation would be one in which you are not seeing mass violence in Iraq.

The United States must lead a truly global effort to prevail against al Qaeda and their hate-filled ideology.

The Pakistani people have suffered greatly at the hands of terrorists, and are endangered by the violent extremists operating within their borders.

Change means keeping the promise of affordable, accessible health care for every single American.

I do think that conditioning some of our military on the idea that you need to build a security apparatus that gains the confidence of all parties concerned as opposed to simply being an arm of one faction.

Now is the time to refocus our efforts on defeating al Qaeda and securing the American people.
