Barack Obama actually said...

"We can't afford to have nonstate actors, terrorists, get their hands on nuclear weapons that could end up destroying our cities or harming our citizens."

"I am confident that these outstanding men and women will greatly serve the American people and I look forward to working with them in the months and years to come."

"I think that it's important for us to get it right."

"We have the specialized knowledge and capability to diagnose, render safe, characterize and dispose of a nuclear threat device."
