Barack Obama actually said...

"I have determined that it is necessary to continue the national emergency with respect to this threat and maintain in force the measures taken to deal with that national emergency."

"we cannot keep going from shock to trance on the issue of energy security, rushing to propose action when gas prices rise, then hitting the snooze button when they fall again."

"The future is ours to win. But to get there, we can't just stand still . . . Sustaining the American Dream has never been about standing pat. It has required each generation to sacrifice, and struggle..."

"President Obama was in Memphis, Tennessee today meeting with the mayor and the local families affected by the floods."
