Barack Obama actually said...

This is as important an election as we'll see in our lifetime.

I hereby designate for Overseas Contingency Operations/Global War on Terrorism all funding so designated by the Congress.

Let us always remember that the blessings we enjoy as free people in a free society came at a dear cost.

I do approve this message, because I genuinely believe this is as consequential an election as we're going to see in our lifetime.
