Barack Obama actually said...

"By giving loving gay and lesbian couples the right to marry if they choose, Hawaii exemplifies the values we hold dear as a nation."

"I've always been proud to have been born in Hawaii, and today's vote makes me even prouder."

"Victims would be more vulnerable to identity thieves and other types of predators."

"With today's vote, Hawaii joins a growing number of States that recognize that our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters should be treated fairly and equally under the law."
