Barack Obama actually said...

"We are deeply concerned by the violence taking place today on the streets of Kyiv and urge all sides to immediately de-escalate the situation."

"As long as I'm president of the United States, the chancellor of Germany will not have to worry about this."

"What I've put forward is a presidential directive that very clearly indicates what we will do and will not do when it comes to overseas surveillance."

"I am very sympathetic to why the German people would be concerned about this."
