Barack Obama actually said...

"America is emerging from the worst recession in generations."

"I'm convinced that if we outbuild and outinnovate and outeducate as well as outhustle the rest of the world, the jobs and industries of our time will take root here in the United States."

"The world is getting smaller, and what it means is that there are terrific opportunities for us to partner with people around the world."

"I pledged to cut the deficit in half by the end of my first term."
