Is it Carter, Mondale or Obama?

US News and World taking various speeches from each of the above, changing some of the names, and questions which one is from which presidential president.
Speech #1: "Eight years ago, many of you voted for Mr. Bush because he promised you'd be better off. And today, the rich are better off. But working Americans are worse off, and the middle class is standing on a trap door. ...First, there was Mr. Bush's tax program. What happened was, he gave each of his rich friends enough tax relief to buy a Hummer—and then he asked your family to pay for the hubcaps.... And John McCain believes that the genius of America is in the boardrooms and exclusive country clubs. I believe that the greatness can be found in the men and women who built our nation, do its work, and defend our freedom.... To the corporations and freeloaders who play the loopholes or pay no taxes, my message is: Your free ride is over. When the American economy leads the world, the jobs are here, the prosperity is here for our children. But that's not what's happening today. This is the worst trade year in American history. Three million of our best jobs have gone overseas. Mr. Bush has done nothing about it. They have no plan to get our competitive edge back. But we do. We will cut the deficits, reduce interest rates, make our exports affordable, and make America No. 1 again in the world economy.... We will launch a renaissance in education, in science, and learning. A mind is a terrible thing to waste. And this must be the best-educated, best-trained generation in American history."

Take the quiz and figure out who's speech is who's.
