Barack Obama actually said...

"Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others."

"History shows us that countries with democratic governance tend to be more just and more stable and more successful."

"The Presidential Medal of Freedom is not just our nation's highest civilian honor - it's a tribute to the idea that all of us, no matter where we come from, have the opportunity to change this country..."

"The Federal Government should help communities identify, develop, and share local solutions."
