Barack Obama actually said...

"It's never been harder to save or retire; to buy gas or groceries."

"Their need to act quickly in a globally coordinated fashion to maintain the functioning of our financial system and the flow of credit to American households and businesses."

"We can't steer ourselves out of this crisis by heading in the same, disastrous direction."

"This time - this election - is our chance to stand up and say: enough is enough!"
