Barack Obama actually said...

"We need to finish the work we started last year by extending the payroll tax cut and unemployment benefits for the rest of this year."

"The Community College to Career Fund will allow federal agencies to partner with state and local governments to encourage businesses to invest in America."

"These investments are absolutely critical, not just for our nation's students, teachers and schools, but for our country's economy"

"Each of you have traveled a unique path to get here, and your fields represent the full spectrum of the arts and humanities."
