Barack Obama actually said...

"Today, I am announcing nearly $400 million to help improve the competitiveness of American businesses and workers."

"Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect the authority granted by law to an agency or the head thereof."

"Our long-term competitiveness for jobs, exports, and investment depends on America's ability to lead on the cutting-edge of technology and on the skills and talent of America's workers."

"The White House says that President Obama who supports the bill is working the phones tonight personally calling Democrats to secure votes."
