Barack Obama actually said...

"Education can be a way to lift you up out of more challenging circumstances."

"If you fought for this country, you shouldn't have to fight for a college education or for a job or for a roof over your heads when you come home."

"When we invest in your future, we're investing in America's future."

"On behalf of the American people, I offer my condolences to Prime Minister Meles's family and to the people of Ethiopia on this untimely loss."
