Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"I assume that the German leaders are not deeply concerned, tonight or any other time, by what we Americans or the American Government say or publish about them."

"It is time for all Americans, Americans of all the Americas to stop being deluded by the romantic notion that the Americas can go on living happily and peacefully in a Nazi-dominated world."

"The American people can have no further illusions about it."

"This attack on the Greer was no localized military operation in the North Atlantic."
