Barack Obama actually said...

"Raising the debt ceiling does not authorize us to spend more, it simply authorizes us to pay the bills that we have already incurred."

"Each of us can do our part to practice fire safety and to support the dedicated volunteers and professionals who risk everything to protect our homes and communities."

"I call upon families, educators, health professionals, faith-based and community organizations, and all levels of government to help ensure America's children are healthy."

"This is not the way the United States should be operating."
