Where's the Geniune Emergency?

According to Obama's campaign:
Obama last month said he did not think the country should use the strategic oil reserves "at this point."
And now today:
Obama's campaign said Monday that Obama is going to ask that the strategic petroleum reserves be tapped. He's expected to ask for a "swap" of light crude for heavy crude with the heavy crude to be "replaced at a later date so that we can get oil into the market," the campaign said on a conference call.
Here's his quote from last month:
"I have said and, in fact, supported a congressional resolution that said we should suspend putting more oil into the strategic oil reserve, but the strategic oil reserve I think has to be reserved for a genuine emergency," he said on July 7.
So, my question is, what "Genuine Emergency" occured between July 7th and today? I've checked the major news outlets. Can't seem to find the "Genuine Emergency".
