Barack Obama actually said...

"the President made a very tough decision on Chrysler"

"My job as President is to ensure that if tax dollars are being put on the line, they are being invested in a real fix that will make Chrysler more competitive."

"We do not believe that this should harm the company or negatively affect it."

"While Americans have a responsibility to live within their means and pay what they owe, credit card companies have a responsibility to set rules that are fair and transparent."
