Barack Obama actually said...

H.J. Res. 2 ducks responsibility and does not take the Nation's fiscal challenges head-on.

We do not need to amend the Constitution for only the 28th time in our nation's history to do the job of restoring fiscal discipline.

We encourage all nations to raise their concerns in the context of the East Asia Summit.

We would hope and want that it balances between a long tradition of freedom of assembly and freedom of speech.
