3. SOUNDBITE (English) Barack Obama, US President:
"At home we are moving forward aggressively, on both recovery and reform. We've taken unprecedented action to create jobs and restore the flow of credit. We proposed a clear set of tough new 21st century rules of the road for all of our financial institutions. We are lifting ourselves out of this crisis and putting an end to the abuses that got us here. I know that the G20 nations are appropriately pursuing their own approaches and as Gordon indicated, we are not going to agree on every point. I came here to put forward our ideas but I also came here to listen and not to lecture. Having said that, we must not miss an opportunity to lead, to confront a crisis with no borders. We have a responsibility to coordinate our actions and to focus on common ground, not on our occasional differences."

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Barack Obama, US President:
"As I've said we've passed through an era of profound irresponsibility, now we cannot afford half measures and we cannot go back to the kind of risk-taking that leads to bubbles that inevitably bust."
6. SOUNDBITE (English) Barack Obama, US President:
"I am a big believer in global capital markets and the potential to provide capital to countries that might not otherwise be able to grow. The possibilities of increasing living standards in ways we have not seen previously in world history. But what we have to understand is that that is going to require some kind of regulatory framework that it doesn't jump the rails."
7. SOUNDBITE (English) Barack Obama, US President:
"I am absolutely confident that this meeting will reflect enormous consensus about the need to work in concert to deal with these problems. I think that the separation between the various parties involved has been vastly overstated."

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Barack Obama, US President:
"In the days ahead, we'll consult further with our NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organisation) allies about training Afghan security forces, increasing our civilian support and a regional approach that recognises the connection between the future of Afghanistan and Pakistan. Just a few other points: the prime minister and I share a common commitment to sustained diplomacy on behalf of a secure and lasting peace between Israel and the Palestinians, and Israel and the Arab world. We're working together to responsibly end the war in Iraq by transitioning to Iraqi responsibility. We're both committed to diplomacy with Iran that offers the Islamic Republic the opportunity and a better future - if it abandons its nuclear weapons ambitions."

11. SOUNDBITE (English) Barack Obama, US President:
"I have to say it's not just Gordon and Sarah that have been very hospitable, I have had a chance to see their two sons and we talked about dinosaurs a little bit in between discussion about Afghanistan and Iran - so we've had a wonderful time."
