Barack Obama actually said...

"The poaching of protected species and the illegal trade in wildlife represent an international crisis that continues to escalate."

"The United States is also supporting the EAC's efforts to advance regional integration."

"The EAC is an economic success story, and represents a market with significant opportunity for U.S. exports and investment."

"We live thousands of miles apart, but as fellow human beings, we share a sense of obligation to each other, especially to the youngest among us."
