I am surprised that we've been seeing some pretty over-the-top attacks coming out of the McCain campaign over the last several days, that he wasn't willing to say to my face.

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

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.

We meet today at a moment of great uncertainty for America.

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.

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…

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

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.

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

We will rise or fall as one nation - as one people.

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