Barack Obama actually said...

"Passage of H.R. 3854 in the House is an important step in the legislative process."

"You understand that we must stand against crimes that are meant not only to break bones, but to break spirits."

"To look for the best in each other, to give each other the benefit of the doubt, and to remember that we're here for a purpose far greater than the sum of our own hopes, needs, and ambitions."

"The American people—and the men and women of our intelligence community as well—deserve nothing less."
