Barack Obama actually said...

"We have been given the opportunity to change our country for the better."

"The passage of statutory PAYGO today will help usher out an era of irresponsibility and begin putting the country back on a fiscally sustainable path."

"You proved that nothing can stop the power of millions of people who want to see an America that's living up to its values and its ideals."

"Empowered by faith, consistently, prayerfully, we need to find our way back to civility."
