Barack Obama actually said...

"Whether that's done through repeal or whether that's done because the Bush tax cuts are not renewed is something that my economic team will be providing me a recommendation on."

"That work starts today because the truth is we do not have a minute to waste. Right now, our economy is trapped in a vicious cycle."

"Today's announcement continues to build a team with the talent, commitment and experience to bring the change that we need to Washington."

"We need a recovery plan for both Wall Street and Main Street."
