Barack Obama actually said...

"We can't sit here and pretend that somehow, you know, Washington just cutting spending, in and of itself, is going to be putting people back to work."

"We have taken important steps that speak to who we are as a Nation that cares for its families and children."

"If we want to compete with China, we've got to make sure that our guys here in the United States of America at least have a shot."

"I urge the Congress to enact this legislation promptly."
