Barack Obama actually said...

"Twenty-one months later, my faith in the American people has been vindicated."

"I believed the Democrats and Republicans, Americans of every political stripe, that they were hungry for new ideas and new leadership and a new kind of politics."

"As president, I will insure that the financial rescue package... works to help stop foreclosures, protects taxpayer money, doesn't enrich CEOs, stabilizes the financial system."

"The real question is will this country be better off four years from now?"
