“If you reject the notion that our government is forever beholden to the highest bidder, you need to stand up in this election.”
President Obama
“As citizens, we understand that America is not about what can be done for us. It’s about what can be done by us, together.”
President Obama
“Stop blaming welfare recipients, unions, immigrants, gays… for your problems.”
Obama
EDIT: This is simply an analysis of what the President said, not a direct quote. This is what he said verbatim:
“We don’t think government can solve all our problems. But we don’t think that government is the source of all our problems - any more than are welfare recipients, or corporations, or unions, or immigrants, or gays, or any other group we’re told to blame for our troubles.”
“A freedom without love or charity or duty or patriotism is unworthy of our founding ideals.”
Obama
“We don’t think government can solve all our problems. But we don’t think government is the source of all our problems.”
Barack Obama
“
Now, our friends at the Republican convention were more than happy to talk about everything they think is wrong with America, but they didn’t have much to say about how they’d make it right. They want your vote, but they don’t want you to know their plan. And that’s because all they have to offer is the same prescription they’ve had for the last 30 years…
‘Have a surplus? Try a tax cut.’
‘Deficit too high? Try another.’
‘Feel a cold coming on? Take two tax cuts, roll back some regulations, and call us in the morning.’
”
“If you’re sick of me ‘approving this message’, believe me, so am I.”
