Barack Obama actually said...

"Michelle and I have them in our prayers this Christmas."

"Now, we must all do our part to serve one another; to seek new ideas and new innovation; and to start a new chapter for our great country."

"If the American people come together and put their shoulder to the wheel of history, then I know that we can put our people back to work and point our country in a new direction."

"Hope endures, and that a new birth of peace is always possible."
