Barack Obama actually said...

"I've put forward a series of proposals that make sure that we protect taxpayers as we engage in this important rescue effort."

"I think that debate is very good news for the Obama campaign coming up."

"Senator Obama displayed not just seasoned judgment but also I thought that he was confident, he understood the economy, he tied it to international issues, he was very comfortable with the subject mat..."

"I think that Obama tied John McCain to George W. Bush numerous times on the economy."
