Barack Obama actually said...

"We also need cops on the beat to enforce the law."

"Too often over the past 4 years, a single Senator or a handful of Senators has been able to unilaterally block or delay bipartisan legislation for the sole purpose of making a political point."

"The American people need Richard to keep standing up for them, and there's absolutely no excuse for the Senate to wait any longer to confirm him."

"We ought to be able to take common-sense measures to reduce the amount of gun violence in this country."
