Barack Obama actually said...

"We shouldn't gut these investments in our budget. Don't let other countries win the race to the future."

"an all-out, all-in, all-of-the-above strategy that develops every source of American energy--a strategy that is cleaner and cheaper and full of new jobs."

"The size and the structure of our military and defense budgets have to be driven by a strategy, not the other way around..."

"The major driver of our long-term liabilities-- everybody here knows it--is Medicare and Medicaid."
