Barack Obama actually said...

"This is a defiant, a determined president who has seen a lot of inaction up on Capitol Hill in the minds of people here at the White House, which is why he's saying this is a time for action."

"He wants to create the space according to the source so Republicans can find a way to get immigration reform to his desk."

"Starting to save is just the first step towards a secure retirement."

"Raising the minimum wage is good for government, good for business and workers and key to a stronger economy."
