Barack Obama actually said...

"We meet today at a moment of great uncertainty for America."

"While we face a very serious challenge, now is not the time for fear or panic, but for all of us to come together with resolve and determination that we can steer ourselves out of this crisis and rest..."

"Make no mistake: we must do more to help innocent homebuyers."

"The idea that the McCain campaign would want to make this the centerpiece of the discussion... makes very little sense."
