Quiz time. See if you can identify the person who spoke these quotes. I know this is going to be a difficult challenge, but you are up to the task! I'll give you few of clues -- he is the most brilliant man who ever trod the earth. He won a Nobel prize for incredible accomplishments at a young age. He is rarely wrong about anything and constantly tells you so. He brought hope to millions.

Back in 2006, he said expanded drilling in the Gulf of Mexico would only "lull the American people into thinking that we can drill our way out of our energy problems."
In 2008, while gas prices spiked, he mocked John McCain's call for more drilling. "This is one emergency we can't drill our way out of," he said.
After the BP oil spill in 2010, he explained that "the reason you never heard me say 'Drill, baby, drill' (is) because we can't drill our way out of the problem." He went on to claim that "easily accessible oil has already been sucked up out of the ground."
In 2011, while pushing to end oil industry tax breaks, he claimed: "If we're serious about addressing our energy problems, we're going to have to do more than drill."
In 2012, he declared: "Even if we drilled every square inch of this country right now, we're going to be relying on other countries for oil."
And when he unveiled his "all of the above" energy strategy, he lectured the country about how "there's a problem with a strategy that only relies on drilling, and that is America uses more than 20% of the world's oil. If we drilled every square inch of this country ... we'd still have only 2% of the world's known oil reserves." He added: "We've got a math problem here."

Who am I?
