Barack Obama actually said...

"I think it's good for the United States, regardless of what others do."

"To a man who has always been a master of his fate, who taught us that we could be the master of ours;"

"Our thoughts and those of Americans and people all around the world are with Nelson Mandela and his family and all of South Africans."

"With rights come responsibilities and burdens, and it's not always comfortable, and you can't always make everybody happy."
