Barack Obama actually said...

"These regulations are necessary to prevent the inflation of the academic credits attributed to postsecondary education courses."

"I believe that's the right thing to do, for us to make sure to send a message to our young people: You graduate from high school at a minimum."

"We've got to do everything we can to make sure that we sustain this progress."

"We can't allow higher education to be a luxury in this country."
