Barack Obama actually said...

"Producing and exporting more goods and services is essential to strengthening our ability to compete for customers outside our borders."

"World Trade Week is an opportunity for us to reaffirm the importance of trade to our Nation's continued economic recovery and growth."

"We have the most dynamic and competitive economy, and we remain the top exporter of goods and services."

"I encourage all Americans to observe this week with events, trade shows, and educational programs that celebrate the benefits of trade to our Nation, American workers, and the global economy."
