Barack Obama actually said...

"I want to congratulate Senator Joe Lieberman on an extraordinary career in public service."

"Let us seize these possibilities together."

"Let us never forget the values that our people share: a reverence for family; the belief that, with education and hard work and with sacrifice, the future is what we make it."

"May they grow together in friendship, may they prosper together in peace, and may they realize their dream of the future for themselves, for their children, and for their grandchildren."
