Barack Obama actually said...

"The oil spill represents just the latest blow to a place that's already suffered multiple economic disasters."

"We're going to be doing everything we can, make sure that there are skimmers out, there are booms out, and a response to keep the oil offshore."

"July 11, 2011, isn't the date of some massive drawdown."

"The key right now is just to make sure that people like Mike are helped, that they're able to get through what's going to be a tough time."
