Barack Obama: "I'm in this race because I'm tired of hearing about Jena. I'm tired of reading about nooses. I'm tired of hearing about a Justice Department that doesn't understand justice.
"When I am president of the United States, we will have a Civil Rights division that actually is investigating crimes. We will have a Civil Rights division that is enforcing voting rights. We will have a Civil Rights division that believes in justice and equality for all Americans because the president of the United States will believe in justice and equality for all Americans.
"And by the way, your next president will actually believe in the Constitution of the United States of American and will uphold that constitution. That's why I'm in this race.
"I'm in this race because I'm tired of Democrats thinking that the only way to look tough on national security is to act and vote and talk like a George Bush Republican...."
