Barack Obama actually said...

"I measure progress by a different pulse: the progress the American people feel in their own lives day in, day out."

"Let us remember in our thoughts and prayers those suffering from natural disasters in Haiti, Chile, and elsewhere."

"And we're going to keep doing everything we can to help our businesses take the baton and power our recovery today and lead us to a more hopeful and more prosperous set of days in the future."

"President Obama will now choose a winner from the top three rated schools and deliver their commencement address later this spring."
