Barack Obama actually said...

"The United States condemns the use of violence against peacefully demonstrating citizens in Syria."

"I call on the Syrian government to respect human rights and to forge a credible path to a future of greater freedom, democracy, opportunity, and justice."

"The order also provides criteria for designations of persons determined by the Secretary of the Treasury."

"Fortunately, the Governor has done an extraordinary job with his team in making sure that the resources of the State are mobilized."
