Barack Obama actually said...

"I'm calling on Congress to take final action to pass a credit card reform bill that protects American consumers and send it to my desk so that I can sign it into law by Memorial Day."

"None of us can afford to be complacent."

"Tens of thousands of innocent civilians are trapped between the warring Government forces and the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka."

"The Government should stop the indiscriminate shelling that has taken hundreds of innocent lives."
