Barack Obama actually said...

"I think anybody who pretends that it’s a hardship for billionaires to pay a little bit more in taxes so that a single mom gets child care support or so that we’re doing something about climate change ..."

"What we have seen is that, in the breach, a culture of cynicism and mistrust can grow."

"And too often, it feels as if our major institutions have failed to respond effectively to these disruptions, to help people find economic security or manage our differences or protect our planet."

"It won't just be an exercise in nostalgia or looking backwards. We want to look forward."
