Barack Obama actually said...

"I said during the campaign that I'll always tell you what I think, and I will, always tell you where I stand."

"When I feel as if the people closest to me are happy and healthy and I'm connected with them, then I feel real good."

"I want to thank the many Americans who have reached out in support and made donations over the last several months to support people in need in the Horn of Africa."

"And today your voices made all the difference."
