Barack Obama actually said...

"I urge Congress to pass this agreement so that the payroll tax cut we put in place last year will not expire at the end of this month."

"That sense of urgency and determination and the values that are at stake are no less today than they were back in 2008."

"We said that it shouldn't matter who you love if you want to serve the country you love."

"Part of our job is to say, as tough as it is, as incremental as it sometimes seems, things have changed."
