Barack Obama actually said...

"The United States stands with all Pakistanis in welcoming this historic peaceful and transparent transfer of civilian power."

"You have affirmed a commitment to democratic rule that will be critical to achieving peace and prosperity for all Pakistanis for years to come."

"I'd ask all Americans, everybody who is watching all across the country, when you see a police officer, you meet an officer's family, let them know how much you appreciate it."

"You embody America at its best and at its bravest."
