Barack Obama actually said...

"Our best days will always be ahead."

"Never doubt, that is what makes us American: not where we come from, what we look like, or what faith we practice, but the ideals to which we pledge our allegiance."

"We have to see ourselves in each other, because we've all got families we love, and we all have hopes for their better future."

"I encourage the people of the United States to join together and give thanks for all we have received in the past year."
