Obama

was on CNN when I went into the cafe for lunch. The pull quote they were showing under his talking head was "We will respond swiftly and strongly to any attacks" - at least that's what I saw, so I thought he was trying to reassure people in light of Biden's gaffe of a couple of weeks ago regarding an Obama administration being tested early on. 

Then I looked at it again and saw that it actually said "...to any GOP attacks" and that made a lot more sense.
