Barack Obama actually said...

"If we, our children, and our grandchildren are to prosper in the 21st century, we must decrease our dependence on oil."

"What we need to do is raise the cap on the payroll tax so that wealthy individuals are paying a little bit more into the system."

"Studies have shown that for every $1 spent on prevention we could net a return of $5.60 in health care costs."

"President-elect Obama recognizes that many of you have been working for many years on these issues and that any effort at reform will require very close collaboration with Congress."
