"This was the moment – this was the time – when we came together to remake this great nation." Barack Obama as he reached the numbers to make him the
Democratic nominee

"My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you'll join with me as we try to change it." Internet saying attributed to Obama
but not really said by him from early in the campaign.

Hum - maybe he did say it. Contrast these two. Aren't they saying the
same thing??

If it's a great nation why do we need to "remake it"?
