Barack Obama actually said...

"There is no shortage of ideas to put people to work right now. What is needed is action on the part of Congress, a willingness to put the partisan games aside and say, 'We're going to do what's right ..."

"I am enlisting you in this fight. Because if you are - if you're making your voices heard, if you're letting people know that enough is enough, it is time to move forward."

"Our biggest challenge right now is putting people to work; biggest challenge is getting the economy growing as rapidly as it needs to grow."

"Well, if you can do the right thing, then folks in Washington have to do the right thing."
