Barack Obama actually said...

"After so much bloodshed and so much carnage, there cannot be a return to the prewar status quo."

"I didn't say, 'Yes, I can.' And this has been a collaborative effort with the American people."

"We reaffirmed the need to cooperate closely to counter the shared threat from ISIL."

"The reason I'm here is not for 'I,' it is for 'we.'"
