Barack Obama actually said...

"We'll protect Medicare, so it's a safety net for our seniors that they can count on today, tomorrow, forever."

"I will never be satisfied while people are out of work and our financial system is weakened. We can be confident that the storms of the past two years are beginning to break."

"I have always been a strong believer in the power of the free market. So I promise you, I did not run for president to bail out banks or intervene in capital markets."

"We came here to address America's prosperity in the future."
