Barack Obama actually said...

The United States strongly condemns the barbaric murder of U.K. citizen David Haines by the terrorist group ISIL.

The United States stands shoulder to shoulder tonight with our close friend and ally in grief and resolve.

13 years after our country was attacked, we continue to stand tall and proud, because we are Americans and we don't give in to fear.

We're prepared to take action against ISIL in Syria as well.
