Barack Obama

A lot of the emphasis is going to be on more effective community policing. A lot of the emphasis is going to be on how we are working together to give young people more constructive things to do and to give them more perspective in terms…

I never believe in irreparable breaches. I'm a big believer in reconciliation and -- and -- and redemption. People are going to be excited about taking on John McCain in November.

He is obviously free to express his opinions on these issues. You know, I have expressed mine very clearly. I think that what he said in several instances were objectionable. And I understand why the American people took offense. And, you…

The way we're going to close the deal is by winning. And, right now, we're winning.

I'm confident that, whoever the nominee is, that the Democratic Party will be unified in August and will be unified throughout the fall. I think that -- that nominee will be me. I'm confident that we will could -- we will be able to win…

The way we're going to close this deal is by winning. And, right now, we're winning. And what we will do is keep on campaigning in Indiana and North Carolina and Oregon and these other states.

I have always believed that, if you're tough, you don't have to talk about it. And I have got a 20-year track of fighting on behalf of working families.

The way we're going to close the deal is by winning. And right now, we're winning. And, you know, what we'll do is keep on campaigning in Indiana and North Carolina and Oregon and these other states. And at the conclusion of all of the…

This is our chance to say not this year. This is our chance to say not this time. We have a choice in this election.

We can be a party that says there's no problem with taking money from Washington lobbyists; the moral lobbyists, the drug lobbyists and the insurance lobbyists.

In every election, politicians come to your cities and your towns and they tell you what you want to hear. And they make big promises.

We already know John McCain offers more of the same. So the question is not whether the other party will bring about change to Washington, we know they won't. The question is, will we?

That's our task. That's our job. Let's get to work.

You can decide whether we are going to travel the same worn path or whether we will chart a new course that offers real hope for the future.

Now is our turn to follow in the footsteps of all those generations who sacrificed and struggled and faced down the greatest odds to perfect our improbable union.

But don't ever forget that you have the power to change this country.

Real change doesn't begin in the halls of Washington, but on the streets of America.

In the end, this election is still our best chance to solve the problems we've been talking about for decades; as one nation, as one people.

We can tell everyone what they need to hear about the challenges we face. We can seek to regain not just an office but the trust of the American people; that their leaders in Washington will tell them the truth. That's the choice in this…

We have a choice in this election.

I'm not going to take money from lobbyists. And people said, 'Well, that can't be done.' Except they didn't understand that you were going to finance this campaign with $25 contributions and $50 contributions and $100 contributions. And so…

There are three candidates left. Who do you want answering that 3 a.m. phone call: the person who got Iraq wrong or the person who got Iraq right? The person who paid attention to the intelligence or the person who didn't? The person who…

So, we were told, the candidates, that they wouldn't count. So, we didn't campaign there. My name wasn't even on the ballot in Michigan. Senator Clinton agreed that they wouldn't count, until it turned out that we were winning.

I'm not predicting a win. I'm predicting it's going to be close and that we are going to do a lot better than people expect.

You and I together, we won't just win Pennsylvania. We will win this nomination.
