Barack Obama actually said...

"Everyone is going to have to be willing to compromise."

"We can strengthen our economy and leave for our children a more secure future, or we can issue insults and demands and ultimatums at each another."

"Today we have taken the final major step toward ending the discriminatory 'don't ask, don't tell' law that undermines our military readiness and violates American principles of fairness and equality."

"the single most important thing we can do for the economy is putting people back to work"
