Barack Obama actually said...

"I believe that we have to continue to take a serious look at how we reform our entitlements because health care costs continue to be the biggest driver of our deficits."

"I know that that's what the American people want us to do."

"When you travel around the country, you are inspired by the grit and resilience and hard work and decency of the American people."

"We should not hold the middle class hostage while we debate tax cuts for the wealthy."
