Barack Obama actually said...

We talked about how our dependence on oil threatened our economy; but our will to act rose and fell with the price at the pump.

I have been attacked by immigration-rights groups for being too tough on that front, but, obviously, we have still got to do more.

I believe that we have a special responsibility to be wise stewards of Americans' hard-earned tax dollars.

I applaud the House for passing legislation today that supports these goals.
