Barack Obama actually said...

"Denmark is not a large country, but proportional to its population, it's made as significant an effort and made as many sacrifices as anybody in helping to stabilize Afghanistan."

"We discussed our ongoing efforts in Afghanistan."

"Denmark is a country that, in American terms, punches above its weight and does an outstanding job on a wide range of issues."

"The only way you're going to do it is if you have a good education."
