Let's go change the country.

Look, your wages are flat, your debt has gone through the roof. I've got a program that's going to help you begin to raise your wages again, get back to work and put your family budgets back together.

But if you're like me and you've got one house, or you are like the millions of people who are struggling right now to keep up with their mortgage so they don't lose their home, you might have a different perspective.

I suppose if you got seven, maybe eight houses, the economy looks fundamentally sound to you.

I want somebody who is independent, somebody who could push against my preconceived notions and challenge me so we have got a robust debate in the White House.

The two campaigns have accepted sponsorship of the debates by the Commission on Presidential Debates.

Now you can't do what George Bush did and say, I looked into Vladimir Putin's soul. You don't look into somebody's soul to make your foreign policy. You look at your national interests. And what's right for American security.

He wants to continue the same economic policies that George Bush has been doing for the last eight years. So my job in this election is to say I honor his service, but I don't honor his policies.

John McCain and the Republicans, they don't have any new ideas. That's why they're spending all their time talking about me.

John McCain doesn't know what he's up against right now. I don't intend to lose this election.

I have never suggested and never will that Senator McCain picks his positions on national security based on politics or personal ambition. I've not suggested it because I believe that he genuinely wants to serve America's national…

It was an honor to serve with Stephanie in Congress.

Our hearts and prayers are with all those who knew and loved her.

Our families deserve health care reform that lowers costs and covers all Americans.

I know her legacy will live on in all those who walk the trails she blazed and walk through the doors she opened.

Stephanie was an extraordinary American and an outstanding public servant.

She was also determined to bring opportunity to all those who had been overlooked and left behind.

He needs to run as a team. He needs to make this the Democrats vs. the Republicans, or he could be in serious trouble.

I'm not going to let anybody question my patriotism.

I love America. So do you. And so does John McCain.

We must also recognize that we cannot succeed in Afghanistan or secure America as long as there is a terrorist safe-haven in northwest Pakistan.

I have never suggested that Senator McCain picks his positions on national security based on politics or personal ambition.

I have called for more resources and more troops to finish the fight in Afghanistan.
