Barack Obama actually said...

"We've begun to pick ourselves up and dust ourselves off, and we've begun the work of remaking America."

"It's not about the day-to-day ups and downs; it's where you're trying to go and where you're trying to take the country."

"The American people need some confidence that if we actually put a package together we can execute."

"This is obviously a very serious situation, and every American should know that their entire Government is taking the utmost precautions and preparations."
