Barack Obama actually said...

"We are bound by common values, the rights and the freedoms that we cherish."

"I encourage the people of the United States to come together... to give thanks for all we have received in the past year."

"No veteran who fought for our country should have to fight for a job when they come home."

"Let us pause to recount the simple gifts that sustain us, and resolve to pay them forward in the year to come."
