Barack Obama actually said...

"Our nation is at war against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred."

"We will do everything in our power to keep the American people safe…with certainty that we can defeat al Qaeda."

"I am confident that they will be valuable additions to my administration and I look forward to working with them in the months and years ahead."

"They are getting the oldest, dirtiest, and most air polluting trucks and SUVs off the road for good."
