"Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America _ they will be met." _ Inaugural address on Jan. 20.
___
"I can say without exception or equivocation that the United States will not torture." _ Remarks on Jan. 22 to employees at the State Department, the same day he signed orders to close the Guantanamo Bay detention center.

"I will be held accountable. You know, I've got four years. ... If I don't have this done in three years, then there's going to be a one-term proposition." _ Interview aired Feb. 2 on NBC's "Today" show.
___
"I'm here on television saying I screwed up." _ Interview with NBC's "Nightly News with Brian Williams," on Feb. 3, after abruptly abandoning his nomination fight for Tom Daschle a little more than 24 hours after he had said he was "absolutely" committed to his health nominee. Obama did similar interviews that day with all five television networks.
___
"We have begun the essential work of keeping the American dream alive in our time." _ Before he signed into law a $787 billion stimulus package on Feb. 17.
___
"The impact of this recession is real and it is everywhere. But while our economy may be weakened and our confidence shaken, though we are living through difficult and uncertain times, tonight I want every American to know this: We will rebuild, we will recover, and the United States of America will emerge stronger than before." _ His first address to a joint session of Congress on Feb 24.
