Barack Obama actually said...

"We must lead the world, by deed and example."

"It is time to bring this conflict to a responsible end so we can bring our troops home and refocus on the wider struggle yet to be won."

"This President may occupy the White House, but for the last six years the position of leader of the free world has remained open."

"I still believe that America is the last, best hope of Earth. We just have to show the world why this is so."
