2. SOUNDBITE (English) Barack Obama, US President:
"The most critical part of our strategy is to ensure that we do not return to an economic cycle of bubble and bust in this country. We know that an economy build on reckless speculation, inflated home prices and maxed-out credit cards does not create lasting wealth. It creates the illusion of prosperity and it's endangered us all. The budget I submitted to congress will build our economy on a stronger foundation so that we don't face another crisis like this 10 or 20 years from now."

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Barack Obama, US President:
"At the end of the day the best way to bring our deficit down in the long run is not with a budget that continues the very same policies that have lead us to a narrow prosperity and massive debt. It's with a budget that leads to broad economic growth by moving from an era of borrow and spend to one where we save and invest. And that's why clean energy jobs and businesses will do all across America, that's what a highly-skilled work force can do all across America, that's what an efficient health-care system that controls costs and entitlements like Medicare and Medicaid will do. That's why this budget is inseparable from this recovery, because it is what lays the foundation for a secure and lasting prosperity."

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Barack Obama, US President:
"One of the most important lessons to learn from this crisis is that our economy only works if we recognise that we're all in this together. That we all have responsibilities to each other and to our country. Bankers and executives on Wall Street need to realise that enriching themselves on the taxpayers dime is inexcusable, that the days of outsized rewards and reckless speculation that puts us all at risk have to be over. At the same time the rest of us cant afford to demonise every investors or entrepreneur who seeks to make a profit. That drive is what has always fuelled our prosperity and it is what will ultimately get these banks lending, and our economy moving, once more. We'll recover from this recession but it will take time, it will take patience and it will take an understanding that when we all work together, when each of us looks beyond our own short-term interests to the wider set of obligations we have towards each other, that's when we succeed, that's when we prosper, and that's what is needed right now."

SOUNDBITE (English) Barack Obama, US President:
"A lot of people understandably say: well if we're putting all this money in there and if it's such a big systemic risk to let AIG (American International Group) to liquidate, why isn't it that we can't restructure some of these contracts, why cant we do some of the things that need to be done in a more orderly way? And the reason is is because we have not obtained this authority. We should have obtained it much earlier so that any institution that poses a systemic risk that could bring down the financial system we can handle. And we can do it in an orderly fashion that quarantines it from other institutions. We don't have that power right now, that's what (Treasury) Secretary (Timothy) Geithner was talking about, and I think that there's going to be strong support, from the American people and from Congress, to provide that authority."
