Barack Obama actually said...

Standing up for our veterans is not a Democratic responsibility or a Republican responsibility, it is an American responsibility.

On behalf of the American people, I offer my condolences to the families of the victims and to all of the Turkish people.

The United States strongly condemns this morning's outrageous terrorist attack against Turkey, one of our closest and strongest allies.

The people of Turkey, like people everywhere, deserve to live in peace, security, and dignity.
