Hope & Change Flashback: We Don’t Need “The Careless, Outrageous Comments” Or The Attacks
OBAMA: “One of the things we know is that change never comes without a fight. In the final days of campaigns, the ‘say anything, do anything’ politics all too often takes over. We’ve seen it before; we’re seeing it again now. The ugly phone calls, the misleading mail and TV ads, the careless, outrageous comments, all aimed at keeping us from working together, all aimed at stopping change. That’s not what we need right now. The American people don’t want to hear politicians attack each other. What you want to hear about is how we’re going to attack the challenges facing middle class families each and every day. What we need right now is honest leadership and real change. And that’s why I’m running for president of the United States of America.”(Sen. Barack Obama, Remarks At Campaign Event, Las Vegas, NV, 10/25/08)
