Script of "Fat Cat" (TV)

BARACK OBAMA [v/o]: I’m Barack Obama, and I approve this message.

BARACK OBAMA: I got into this race to change how business is done in Washington. I said very early on we’re not going to take PAC money and we’re not going to take money from federal lobbyists.

We have raised money from a million donors, people just like you who have said we can bring this country together.

(Text on screen: A campaign powered by people, not the special interests)

We can push against the special interests that dominate Washington. And that means that when I go to the White House, I’m going to be answerable to you. I’m not going to be answerable to a bunch of fat-cat donors.
