Barack Obama actually said...

"In an economy that relies so heavily on oil, rising prices at the pump affect everybody."

"The Federal Government has an important role to play in order to expand access to the capital necessary for economic growth."

"This order establishes a council to better coordinate Federal programs and maximize the impact of Federal investment to promote economic prosperity and quality of life in our rural communities."

"Strong, sustainable rural communities are essential to winning the future and ensuring American competitiveness in the years ahead."
