Barack Obama actually said...

"I reject the notion that the American moment has passed."

"The disappointment that so many around the world feel toward America right now is only a testament to the high expectations they hold for us."

"Barack Obama says he'll never go on Imus again, telling 'ABC News' if anybody on his staff ever said something like that, he'd fire them."

"The comments of Don Imus were divisive, hurtful and offensive to Americans of all backgrounds."
