Barack Obama actually said...

"I do not expect Congress to go home unless the payroll tax cut is extended and unless unemployment insurance is extended."

"we renew our commitment to preserving our universal rights and perfecting our Union."

"This is something that Democrats and Republicans agreed to last year with little fanfare, and it was good for the economy."

"On Bill of Rights Day, we celebrate this proud legacy and resolve to pass to our children an America worthy of our Founders' vision."
