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."

"Middle-class families shouldn't pay higher tax rates than millionaires and billionaires."

"If asking a millionaire to pay the same tax rate as a plumber makes me a class warrior--a warrior for the working class--I will accept that."

"This isn't just about what I think is right."
