Barack Obama actually said...

"I think he's happy with what we have started to achieve, understanding that we have a long way to go."

"We've begun to pick ourselves up and dust ourselves off, and we've begun the work of remaking America."

"It's not about the day-to-day ups and downs; it's where you're trying to go and where you're trying to take the country."

"The American people need some confidence that if we actually put a package together we can execute."
