Barack Obama actually said...

"The United States is not monitoring and will not monitor the communications of Chancellor Merkel."

"The economy has been adding jobs at a pace of more than 2 million per year."

"Private sector employment has risen for 43 consecutive months, with businesses adding a total of 7.6 million jobs over that period."

"While job growth remained solid in September, there is no question that the focus of policy should be on how to achieve a faster pace of job growth."
