Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"I don't like to say 'yes' or 'no' to that question."

"The pattern of the future—the future as Hitler seeks to shape it- is now as clear and as ominous as the headlines of today's newspapers."

"It is time for this country to stop playing into Hitler's hands, and to unshackle our own."

"We must face the truth that the Neutrality Act requires a complete reconsideration in the light of known facts."
