"Obama said about Iraq" - find quotes with Google News

Google News recently introduced a feature that allows searching for quotes. Actually when you search the name of an important person (be it a politician like Barack Obama or a geek like Bill Gates) you'll see at the top of the news results a quote that this VIP used in a recent interview, for instance searching on Google News for Barack Obama will show a grey box at the top with his latest quote:

And this is not all, if you click on his name (under the quote, "by Barack Obama") you'll see a list of all his quotes that Google News indexed in the published news:

Now it gets more interesting, on the page where all his quotes are listed, there's a search box to the left that lets you "Search these quotes" - what this does is searching within all his quotes for a specific word, so if you enter Iraq in there, Google News will show all the quotes where Obama mentioned Iraq. Useful if you want to test yourself the honesty of a politician - searching for instance for NAFTA in a list of quotes by Hillary Clinton.
