Barack Obama

I think it is important for us not to bail out lenders who made, in some cases, poorly considered or speculative loans.

I want to run a positive campaign.

I promise you this. I will not just win this Saturday. I will not just win the Democratic nomination. I will not just win the general election. But, instead, you and I, we are going to march into the future. We're going to transform this…

Women in particular are vulnerable to debt, as well as these predatory lending practices and subprime loans. And then it gets hard for people to dig themselves out.

I think Bill Clinton did have an enormous affinity with the African-American community and still does. I think that's well earned.

Well, first of all, Charlie is absolutely right that African-Americans should vote for what's best for them, their children, and this country.

They come in waves. And they somehow appear magically wherever the next primary or caucus is.

They come in waves and they somehow appear magically wherever the next primary or caucus is although they're also being distributed all across the country.

I think it's hard to project four years from now. And I think it would be irresponsible.

I can't tell who I'm running against sometimes here.

I think Ronald Reagan changed the trajectory of America in a way that, you know, Richard Nixon did not and in a way that Bill Clinton did not.

We could be sliding into an extraordinary recession.

Oftentimes, you'd vote present in order -- in order to indicate that you had problems with a bill that otherwise you might be willing to vote for.

My suspicion is, I bet the other side must be rattled if they're continually saying false things about us, right?

I didn't say they were good ones.

There's a set of assertions made by Senator Clinton, as well as her husband.

We can't afford a President whose positions change with the politics of the moment, we need a President who knows that being ready on day one means getting it right from day one.

My core belief is that people desperately want coverage. They desperately want it.

I am absolutely convinced that, white, black, Latino, Asian, people want to move beyond our divisions.

When Senator Clinton said -- President Clinton says that I wasn't opposed to the war from the start or says it's a fairy tale that I opposed the war. That is simply not true.

If I were starting from scratch, if we didn't have a system in which employers typically provided health care, I would probably go with a single payer system.

I don't mind having policy debates with Senator Clinton or Senator Edwards. But what I don't enjoy is spending the week or two weeks or the last month having to answer to these kinds of criticisms that are not factually accurate.

I feel pretty bad. But let's just respond to the example that was just thrown out.

I didn't say they were good ones.
