Barack Obama actually said...

We do not have time for this kind of silliness. We got better stuff to do. I have got better stuff to do. We have got big problems to solve. And I`m confident we can solve, but we`re going to have to focus on them, not on this. We`re not going to be able to do it if we just make stuff up and pretend that facts are not facts. We`re not going to be able to solve our problems if we get distracted by sideshows and carnival barkers.

Context

Obama emphasizes the need to focus on real issues instead of distractions and misinformation.
