Barack Obama actually said...

"Just last month Mr. Obama said any reform bill had to include the public option."

"the Obama administration taking a rhetorical step away from the Defense of Marriage Act which bars same-sex marriage."

"He still believes the public option is the best way to achieve those goals."

"One thing that reform won't change is veterans' health care. No one is going to take away your benefits. That is the plain and simple truth."
