We meet here at atime of great uncertainty for America. The era of greed and irresponsibility on Wall Street and in Washington has led us to a financial crisis as serious as any we have faced since the Great Depression I am asking you to believe not just in my ability to bring about real change in Washington...I'm asking you to believe in yours [by] demanding more reform and accountability Our country cannot afford four more years of neglect and indifference America, we are better than these last eight years. We are a better country than this. -Barack Obama
