Barack Obama actually said...

"Now you can call it class warfare all you want, but asking a billionaire to pay at least as much as his secretary in taxes? Most Americans would call that common sense."

"he plans to grow the economy, restore an economy where, in his words, everybody gets a fair shot."

"I intend to fight obstruction with action and I will oppose any effort to return to the very same policies that brought on this economic crisis in the first place."

"We are not going to settle for a country where a shrinking number of people do really well while a growing number of Americans barely get by."
