Barack Obama actually said...

"I will do everything in my power to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon--everything in my power to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon--everything."

"If those efforts fail, then the U.S. will not participate."

"We want to review what we can do to that end but, unfortunately, there are indications that this conference will be just as deeply flawed."

"The President-elect is committed to a strengthened and enhanced role for foreign assistance and development in our foreign policy, as am I."
