Barack Obama actually said...

"If it does not get done in the lame duck session, it will be the first thing I get done as president of the United States."

"I have made it a high priority for my transition team to work on additional policy options to help the auto industry adjust, whether the financial crisis can succeed in producing fuel efficient cars."

"Obama also reportedly intends to renew the commitment to hunt down Osama bin Laden."

"President-elect Obama's history making day."
