OBAMA EBONICS

Why did Barack Obama's speech on the economy on Thursday at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va. - say :

"Only government can break the cycle THAT ARE crippling our economy, where a lack of spending leads to lost jobs, which leads to even less spending, where an inability to lend and borrow stops growth and leads to even less credit."[sic]

I am worried that he is a poor choice.-

And why did the A.P. transcribe it as:

"Only government can break the cycle THAT IS crippling our economy, where a lack of spending leads to lost jobs, which leads to even less spending, where an inability to lend and borrow stops growth and leads to even less credit."

-Isn't that a flawed journalistic integrity?
-Shouldn't history be accurate?

I WATCHED WITH MY OWN EYES AND EARS.
