Barack Obama actually said...

"Today, our nations and peoples are more interconnected than at any time in human history."

"America does not play for second place, and we certainly don't play for ninth."

"I understand that in life everyone has a purpose and a plan, and every day, I see myself getting closer and closer to college, and one day, a career."

"It's time to reform our community colleges so that they provide Americans of all ages a chance to learn the skills and knowledge necessary to compete for the jobs of the future."
