Barack Obama actually said...

I declared a national emergency pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13660.

It is in the national security interest of the United States to waive the application of section 908(a)(1) of TSRA with respect to Sudan.

I have determined that it is necessary to continue this national emergency and to maintain in force the sanctions to respond to this threat.
