Barack Obama actually said...

"There are many causes of this economic crisis, and it's critical that we respond using all the tools that we currently have."

"The test of any idea must not be whether it is liberal or conservative, but whether it works for the American people."

"It's time to turn the page on eight years of economic policies that put Wall Street before Main Street but ended up hurting both."

"This is not a time for ideology - it's a time for common sense and a politics of pragmatism."
