Barack Obama actually said...

"The size and the structure of our military and defense budgets have to be driven by a strategy, not the other way around..."

"The major driver of our long-term liabilities-- everybody here knows it--is Medicare and Medicaid."

"The tide of war is receding."

"Let there be no doubt: America is determined to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, and I will take no options off the table to achieve that goal."
