Barack Obama actually said...

"So I give the people of this community and the entire Gulf my word that we're going to hold ourselves accountable to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes to stop this catastrophe."

"I ultimately take responsibility for solving this crisis. I'm the president. And the buck stops with me."

"We're called to honor them with deeds."

"We're called to honor them by doing our part for the loved ones our fallen heroes have left behind."
