Barack Obama actually said...

"This is a global financial crisis and it requires a global solution."

"If we had had a regulatory system that had kept pace with the changes in the financial system, that would have had an enormous impact in containing some of the problems that are out there."

"The bottom line is am I viewed as somebody who's gonna be a champion for the guy who's waking up every day, working hard for a paycheck?"

"The bottom line is that we must change the economic policies that led us down this dangerous path in the first place."
