Barack Obama actually said...

"Swift and unprecedented action to shore up Wall Street must come alongside equally swift and serious efforts to help struggling families on Main Street, create new jobs, and grow our middle-class once..."

"We must take equally swift and serious action to help lift the burdens they face every day."

"We did not arrive at this crisis by some accident of history."

"What we're looking at right now is to provide the Treasury and the Federal Reserve with as broad authority as is necessary, to stabilize markets and to maintain credit."
