Barack Obama actually said...

"President Obama told congressional leaders that he has the authority to carry out his planned offensive against ISIS in Syria and Iraq without their authorization."

"I have the authority I need to take action against ISIL in accordance with the mission I will lay out in my address tomorrow night."

"The federal government, local and state governments, philanthropists and others announce investments to expand infrastructure development."

"I would welcome action by the Congress that would aid the overall effort and demonstrate to the world that the United States is united in defeating the threat from ISIL."
