It's time for a new generation of leadership to save our generation from global catastrophe.

I don't want a continuation of Bush/Cheney. I don't want Bush/Cheney-lite. I want a fundamental change.

I'm not afraid of losing the P.R. war to dictators. I'm happy to look them in the eye and say what needs to be said.

It's no longer sufficient for us to trot out the old formulas, the old tired phrases. If we want fundamental change, then we can't be afraid to talk to our enemies.

I opposed this war back in 2002 when I was running for the United States Senate.

We've got to put the national interests ahead of special interests, and that's what I'll do as president of the United States.

I am proud of my Christian faith. And it informs what I do. But I am a strong believer in the separation of church and state.

I would. And the reason is this, that the notion that somehow not talking to countries is punishment to them -- which has been the guiding diplomatic principle of this administration -- is ridiculous.

As president of the United States, my commitment on issues like education, my commitment on issues like health care is to close the disparities and the gaps, because that's what's really going to solve the race problem in this country.

Absolutely it does. John and I have a disagreement. John thinks that the only way we get universal coverage is to mandate coverage. I think that the problem is not that people are trying to avoid getting health care coverage.

When are we going to stand up and do something about this? We have talked about it too long. We have got to stand up to the insurance companies and the drug companies that Barack just spoke about.
