Barack Obama actually said...

"Place is a strong determinant of opportunity and well-being."

"I am pleased to nominate Judge Rainey Ransom Brandt to serve on the Superior Court of the District of Columbia."

"We value Greece as a democratic and stable member of the Euro-Atlantic family."

"It is incredibly important that the Greek people see improvements in their daily lives so that they can carry with them the hope that their lives will get better."
