Barack Obama actually said...

"He still believes the public option is the best way to achieve those goals."

"After fighting for America, you should not have to fight over paperwork to receive the benefits that you've earned."

"One thing that reform won't change is veterans' health care. No one is going to take away your benefits. That is the plain and simple truth."

"America's commitment to its veterans are not just lines on a budget, they are bonds that are sacred, a sacred trust we're honor bound to uphold."
