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."

"The legacy of these fallen heroes lives on in each of you."

"I express deep regret at the loss of life in today's incident."

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