Barack Obama actually said...

"we're not going to stop working on behalf of the American people"

"As President, one of the things you learn very quickly is that it's not enough just to talk a big game; the real test is whether your priorities are reflected in a budget."

"Our goal is also to reignite the true engine of economic growth in this country, and that is a strong and growing middle class."

"we're going to manage it as best we can, to try to minimize the impacts on American families"
