Joe Barton actually said...

"I think the time has come to recognize that in the Internet age we need to regulate and set a level playing field for those of us who would like to play poker online."

"The status of online gaming is murky, at best."

"I appreciate the fact that all of our witnesses stayed true."

"I would like to start by joining the almighty and thanking Congressman Barton for his leadership on this issue and pragmatic efforts to create a regulated gaming environment."
