Barack Obama actually said...

"I believe that we can steer ourselves out of this crisis because I believe in this country."

"If you want real change - if you want an economy that rewards work, and that works for Main Street and Wall Street; if you want tax relief for the middle class and millions of new jobs; then I ask you..."

"We need policies that grow our economy from the bottom-up, so that every American, everywhere, has the chance to get ahead."

"We meet at a moment of great uncertainty for America."
