Barack Obama actually said...

"Republicans in Congress need to stop trying to refight the battles of the past few years and finally start doing something to actually help the middle class get ahead."

"Our businesses have now added 5.2 million new jobs over the past 2 1/2 years."

"Four years after the worst economic crisis of our lifetimes, we're seeing signs that, as a nation, we're moving forward again."

"We owe it to them to keep moving forward."
