Barack Obama actually said...

"And so my job right now is just to make sure that everybody in the Gulf understands, this is what I wake up to in the morning. And this is what I go to bed at night thinking about -- the spill."

"What we are called upon to do now is to continue to live up to those values as a nation."

"The Federal Government is also directing the effort to contain and clean up the damage from the spill, which is now the largest effort of its kind in U.S. history."

"I can assure you that I am fully engaged."
