Barack Obama actually said...

"Congress needs to pass a farm bill that will not only provide important disaster relief tools, but also make necessary reforms and give farmers the certainty that they deserve."

"My hope is, is that Congress will feel a greater sense of urgency and be prepared to get this done immediately upon their return."

"We've already designated over a hundred—1,500 counties across 32 States as disaster areas."

"I am very pleased to be signing this bill into law."
