Barack Obama actually said...

"This funding and opportunity for governors, mayors, and other local leaders to partner with the Federal government is a result of the bipartisan Consolidated Appropriations Act."

"We think a multiyear solution is necessary to stop the chilling effect of short-term measures and to get this country on a more stable and certain path when it comes to infrastructure investments."

"Let's create more good jobs, build smarter schools, better airports, faster railways, better broadband networks."

"We can't wait."
