PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA:
“You might not be ready for diplomacy with Beijing if you can’t visit the Olympics without insulting our closest ally,” said Obama, referring to the British taking offense to Republican challenger Mitt Romney’s assessment of the Summer Olympics.
“All they have to offer is the same prescription they’ve had for the last thirty 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!”

VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN:
“Folks, the Bain way may bring your firm the highest profits,” Biden said, referring to private equity firm Bain Capital, which Romney co-founded and served as CEO. “But it’s not the way to lead our country from the highest office.”

FORMER PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON:
“In Tampa, the Republican argument against the president’s re-election was pretty simple: ‘We left him a total mess, he hasn’t cleaned it up fast enough, so fire him and put us back in.’ ”
“It takes some brass to attack a guy for doing what you did,” Clinton said, describing Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan’s criticism of Obama’s cuts in the Medicare health program for seniors – the same cuts Ryan offered in his own budget.
“President Obama started with a much weaker economy than I did. No president – not me or any of my predecessors could have fully repaired all the damage he found in just four years. But conditions are improving and if you’ll renew the President’s contract you will feel it. … I believe that with all my heart.”

FIRST LADY MICHELLE OBAMA:
“I have seen firsthand that being president doesn’t change who you are – it reveals who you are.”
