Romney

We have to make sure to make it easier for kids to afford college, and also to make sure that when they get out of college that there's a job.

Obama

The most important thing we can do is to make sure that we are making job sin this country. but not just jobs, good paying jobs. We can't just produce traditional sources of energy, we also have to look to the future.

Romney

What we don't need is to have the President keeping us from taking advantage of oil, coal, and gas. I wanna bring the rates down, I wanna simplify the tax code, I wanna get middle income taxpayers to have lower taxes.

Obama

We haven't heard from the governor any specifics beyond Big Bird and eliminating funding for planned parenthood and how he pays for that. Women are increasingly the breadwinners for the family.

Romney

I went to a number of women's groups saying can you help us and they had whole binders full of women, President Obama was right, he said that it was outrageous. To have deficits the size of a trillion dollars in Bush years but placed deficits twice that size.

Obama

When he talks about getting tough on China, keep in mind, Governor Romney invested in companies that were pioneers of outsourcing to China.

Romney

There are over 4 million people waiting in line to get here legally, those who come here illegally take their place. And I will not grant Amnesty to come her illegally.

Obama

We need to fix, a broken immigration system, and I've done everything that I can to make sure we fix the system.

Romney

I care about 100% of the American people, I want 100% of the American people to have the right to a prosperous future.

Obama

I believe in self-reliance, and individual admission. But I also believe that everyone should have a fair shot.

Williams

I'm Brian Williams, and there you have it.
